About the adventure
Behold the Caves of Chaos! Nestled in a rugged gorge, a dozen dark openings gape from the rock, each one a possible road to glory or doom. From deep within echo the sounds of drums, the clash of arms, and the muttered prayers of fell things. Rumor speaks of monstrous beings, ancient cults, and feral tribes warring in the depths, hoarding plunder beyond imagining. Will you brave the goblins’ warrens, the kobolds’ halls, or the forgotten shrine of an ancient evil? Choose carefully, adventurer, for every action you take could decide your fate. Each cave leads to different perils, treasures, and secrets. No two paths are alike, and your choices will shape the course of the entire expedition. Gather your courage, light your torches, and step boldly into the unknown, for the Borderlands await their heroes!

About me
My job as a web developer taught me technology should never get in the way, I am constantly improving my virtual tabletop. The same goes for rules. I'm obsessed with making sure you know enough rules and in-game-lore to feel informed and empowered. I was trained how to teach a game to new players, and ensure they're having fun the whole time, when starting a university board game club. It's hard for everyone to make time for games. I do my best to run a scheduled game 'no matter what.' You may be surprised at what I “let you get away with” – but that's the point of a roleplaying game! The whole reason I’m here is to allow you greater freedom than any computer or boardgame could ever allow. My role is to invent reactions and consequenses. I have diagnosed and medicated ADHD, one of the ways it can show up is a deep craving for emotional intensity. My toxic trait is seeking strong reactions. Years of unconscious practice mean I have developed a knack for pressing buttons, stirring up conflict, and chasing those moments that make people around me feel. That used to get me into trouble. But as a GM? It’s my greatest strength. I channel that energy into crafting unforgettable story beats and emotionally charged choices. When you disappoint a friendly “Non-Player Character”, I’ll make it hurt. When a villain taunts you, you will burn to take them down. I use every narrative trick in the book to draw you deeper into your character’s journey, until you feel it in your gut. Join me in crafting adventures where your characters live, breathe, and grow! (possibly into horrible flesh monsters, to be determined)

Safety
How Isaac "Achoobert" creates a safe table
We are all adults here, I maintain an open door policy. If you have to step away from your computer for any reason I can find a way to smoothly progress the story. Before the session we will use Demiplane.com's "Deck of Player Safety" to quickly and anonymously signal hot-button topics any of us want to exclude from our gaming experience. For any situation you find too stressful, simply go AFK for as long as you require. My games are the equivalent of a PG-13 movie. I don't do explicit sexual content, but I may allude to it. Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be an escape from the troubles of our daily lives. Above-table prejudices, including racism, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia are NOT acceptable at my table and will lead to your immediate removal.
