About the adventure
Hear that? the Solemn notes of a lone fiddle followed by the bellowing sound of a train whistle means you possess a one-way ticket into the unknown. Those sounds herald the arrival of the Ghostlight Express. It only stills and quiets for a transient moment before it lurches forward once more into its eternal voyage between life and death, so hop aboard. This is a level 3 adventure for DnD 5e/2024. All classes, subclasses and races officially published are allowed, including those within The Crooked Moon supplement.

About me
I have been DMing and playing since 2020 for 3 separate groups in person, online and hybrid with some people online and some people in person. It is something I truly enjoy doing. I have completed multiple campaigns both homebrewed and pre-made modules. I would love to expand my talents into being a professional DM/GM and hope that I can help as many people learn about the game as is possible. My main goal is always for everyone to have fun and have a good time. I'm really flexible and I'm able to work with just about anything and anyone. I hope we can all have fun and beat the BBEG!!(or become the BBEG if that's how you want to play!).

Creating your character
Character creation should be done before the game starts. If you need help or advice I am always happy to help. All officially published material is open for character creation. Stats will be standard array (15,14,13,12,10,8). All PCs also get 1 uncommon magic item and 100 gold for any nonmagical supplement or expendables(potions, scrolls, etc).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All characters will need to participate is a mic. We will use Owlbear rodeo for maps and visuals, and Discord for audio/video. IF you do not wish to appear on video that is fine but audio is a must. Characters should be created ahead of time. Always feel free to ask me if you need any help with character creation. I will send discord link after you have joined the game.
What DM Ronarky brings to the table
I do not do many voices and prefer to narrate in third person. While I like to keep things to Rules as Written, I am a big fan of the Rule of Cool. Combat is important but hardly ever is it just a fight to the death without some underlying goal.
Homebrew rules

Safety
How DM Ronarky creates a safe table
We will be playing using Owlbear Rodeo. There is a chat feature called Rumble where you will be able to use the X, N, & O cards. I like to keep the game moving. If there is a dispute over rules that cant be solved within a minute then I will make a judgement call that is the most fair to the most amount of people. I am fine with going over time if everyone is having a good time. If at any time anyone has questions or concerns about anything please feel free to let me know.
