About me
So, the last time we left off, I was an avid fan of tabletop roleplaying games and interactive storytelling since childhood. After many years of theatre and fiction, I had properly started my ttrpg adventure with DnD 5e and CoC about 6 years ago. My first few years were mostly spent convincing friends to give these games a chance, it thought me a lot about the beauty of starting this hobby and how exciting it is to see someone take their first steps into it. Ever since then I've loved playing with beginners and newcomers. But boy was I ready for more! Since starting this journey I had the chance to work as a pro DM in taverns, create TTRPG communities, start a multimedia brand where we talk and play ttrpgs (@durundragons) and even develop my own game system suited for a Harry Potter-themed campaign, minus the terfs. I have always been a storyteller at heart but what I came to love most about this form is how unexpected and astounding it is to be in awe of your players. I grew to feel less like a game master and more like the world in which my players create and tell the most fantastical, dramatic stories. But, this was all just the beginning... What new adventures and dramatic twists await me and my brave heroes? To find out, let's dive in together to tonight's session!

Creating your character
Everyone will be starting at level 2. All character creation will happen before or during session 0 as well. Due to the nature of the story, we'll only be using the Wizard and Sorcerer classes, though I'm open to suggestions to the contrary.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is a camera, a mic and your imagination. Pen and paper would help you out with keeping track of what's going on but they are not a necessity. We will be rolling dice, you can either bring your own or use an app or I can roll for you if you wish. However, I'd recommend rolling your own dice since it's fun! It would be much easier and fun for all of us if you create Discord and Roll20 accounts before the game! I'll be providing a document explaining the world and the academy during session 0.
What Defhan brings to the table
This is a homebrew world, so I'll be providing you with maps and documents detailing the world and its history. I'll also provide other digital hand-outs throughout the game.
