About me
Startplaying Campaigns finished: 1) Forgotten Realms Homebrew Campaign - lvl 1 to 15 - 45 sessions Hello, Hello, my name is Anthony. My love for roleplaying games was sparked when some cousins of mine asked me to sit at the table in our grandparents basement and roll some funny shaped dice. These cousins sent me home with a PHB, Monster Manual & Deities and Demigods book (which I still have to this day). This sparked a love in me for fantasy, high adventure, and the joys that come from mutual story telling and world building. I stared seriously DMing in my college years with the introduction of 3rd edition (Stating in 2000) and have enjoyed systems from advanced D&D, 3rd edition, 3.5, 4th, 5th and now 5th 2024 edition. * Longest game run - D&D 3rd/3.5 edition (7 years) lvl 1 to 36, taking on goblins all the way up to gods and things gods fear. * Favorite Setting - Forgotten Realms, with Eberron a close 2nd * Other game systems that I've enjoyed running - Pathfinder, Spycraft, D20 Modern, 40k Dark Heresy & Fading Suns. As a DM I enjoying working with my players to fill out the world and make connections throughout their journeys. Adventures often take twists and turns from player connections, that I think lead to rich and memorable moments, that can be carried around for years. I like to have a warm and welcoming table, that ensures each participant is given the opportunity to engage with the story and other players, try new things, and fail and succeed as the dice gods decree. All within a safe, accepting and friendly environment for all. I hope we get the opportunity to play and thank you very much for your time.

Safety
How AnthonyDM creates a safe table
✔️ - Breaks: We will always have a 10 minute break in the middle of the session in order to stretch those legs, use the restroom, or grab a snack. If you need more time or more frequent breaks, do not hesitate to reach out and let me know. ✔️ - X, N, & O Communication: To make sure everyone feels comfortable at all times, we’ll be using the X, N, and O system. X means stop the game immediately if something crosses a serious boundary, N means something is approaching your discomfort zone, and O lets us know everything is okay. You’re always welcome to message me privately before, during, or after gameplay to use these signals or address anything else on your mind. This system allows for real-time feedback and ensures that any concerns can be handled promptly and with care. ✔️ - Open Door Policy: Real Life comes first - life happens, and that’s okay! My open-door policy means you can leave the game at any time for any reason-no questions asked, no pressure, no negative repercussions. Whether it's because of an emergency, discomfort, or simply because you're not enjoying the session, your well-being always comes first. I want you to know that your participation is always valued, but there’s no obligation to stay if real life calls or if the game’s not working for you.
