About the adventure
A mysterious plague is spreading across the land. In its early stages, no one knows its source or how to stop it. Blightroot is a story of exploration, with a balanced mix of combat and roleplay (about once per session). Step into the open world of Faelyndor, a small human nation teetering on the brink of civil war, while something sinister stirs just beyond the horizon. Form your party, build relationships, and uncover secrets together, all while facing a threat larger than any one of you.

About me
Hi! My name is Chris. I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs, primarily Dungeons & Dragons, for 4 years and have 3 years of experience as a Game Master. I enjoy creating collaborative, player-focused sessions where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. I run both homebrew worlds and traditional adventures, with a focus on giving players the freedom to explore, roleplay, and make meaningful choices. I prioritize the players’ experience, providing personalized lore for each character to help them immerse themselves in the world and stand out at the table. My style emphasizes fun, creativity, and collaboration. I believe in the rule of cool if it makes the game more enjoyable for the group, I’m flexible with the rules. Sessions are chill but engaging, with a balanced mix of roleplay, problem-solving, and tactical combat. Every player’s story matters, and I aim to create memorable experiences for the whole table.

Creating your character
i volunteer 1 page of lore for everyones character of lore and information only there character would know, this written both to help with RP and to immerse players in eachothers characters. i will do character creation one on one with each player. this is to ensure they all fit into the world of blightroot and have there own corner they come from to help there backstory influence the main story. i also have a homebrew magic system, this boils down to most races having difficulty with casting magic. most races bodies dont make magic and they have to get it from somewhere else. this will be discussed during character creation/session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
discord for chat, ill be making a discord server for the campaighn to take place in. roll20, if you dont know how to use roll20 im more than happy to teach. anything to keep track of your character/roll dice. i reccomend DND beyond.
What chris: goblin approved gm brings to the table
i run my games entirely through roll 20, maps for combat and rp i have music playlists always running with tracks set to the mood of the story i have a discord for players to chat and different channels to organise there things.
Homebrew rules
i run homebrew rules for combat since all my combat is done on roll20. this is to make fights feel more like epic battles for example the ability to avoid and give opportunity attacks are features i give alot of monsters as by default monsters dont give opportunity attacks in my games. in the same way many of them are able to avoid opportunity attacks. this will be discussed during session 0
