About me
I have been GMing for over 30 years. I regularly run full games at conventions and play online with my friends. I enjoy D&D, Forged in the Dark games and Pathfinder, among many others. I am also on the board of directors for Rising Phoenix Game Con which just celebrated it's 4th year (risingphoenixgamecon.com).

Creating your character
Character Creation will be done during Session 0. Almost all of the rules are in the SRD and the Foundry VTT makes it relatively straightforward to build characters together.
Those bound by duty to seek what's best for their realms. We have Lucius of the Queensguard, a fierce Voldanean warrior who bears the title, Towerfell. He was there at the climactic battle between Voldaen and Jesthaen called Tower's Triumph but he bears the scars of defeat. There at Tower's Triumph was Mage Champion Sana Nordi, who healed and helped friend and foe, including Lucius, due to the frenzied and confusing nature of the climactic confrontation. Rax, our mercenary Sorcerer comes from a line of proud Drakona that seek fame and fortune. His uncle was killed at Tower's Triumph and he seeks more answers. Buzon, a reliable courier from rural Jesthaen, finds himself caught up in the intrigue of the missing Jesthanean child, betrothed to the rising star of Polaris.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The only requirements are Discord and a browser that can handle Foundry.
What Matt brings to the table
I will provide a variety of voices, atmosphere, music and sound effects. The game by its nature is very much a collaboration, so Rule of Cool almost always wins the day. Just bring your imagination and an open mind.
