About me

I’m a lifelong nerd and gamer, a dad, a husband, and a product designer. I have a fond nostalgia for fantasy and sci-fi media from the 80s to the 00s. I am a former 5e DM who has become a (mostly) OSR referee with a preference for MΓΆrk Borg and its clones. Lately, I’ve been on a history binge. Mostly reading up on the golden age of piracy and the Spanish War of Succession that preceded it.

Character creation

Creating your character

We'll roll up characters together during session zero (or your first session). I highly encourage random generation, but you're free to make your own choices during character creation too. Lean into the lore! - The Kindred (races) and classes in the Dolmenwood Player's Book are available to you. Note: Mortal and demi-fey are preferred per the party's session zero choices. - We will not be using 3rd party or OSE races/classes.

Before your first session... We’ll cover character creation, content warnings, and player boundaries.
