About me
Well, coupled with several years of experience and a desire to host, create and enjoy the best sessions I possibly can have landed me here. I want to devote my time to all various TTRPGs, or War Games. I adore them in all varieties, and I truly want to make special experiences for folks! So here I am, in all of my glory A GM of experience - With low barrier of entry! I love Role-Playing just as much asmin/maxing sociopathic antics and I often feel my campaigns are a playable landscape of that exactly! I love homebrew, at somepoint my deepest desire is to self publish settings and adventurers for various TTRPGS!

Creating your character
Starting Level 3, Avg HP or higher (You can roll- but if its lower then avg for example 3 on a D8 then you take avg), All characters will use point buy standard rules Anything wizards of the coast is accepted- though if you play something super exotic give me a heads up.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Roll 20, Discord and a mic - and your good! well if your on a laptop I do recommend a mouse! Your character along their own personal travels was absorbed by a horribly thick fog - After which they finally came through to the other side- They lay witness to a collapsing village and not to far in the distance stands a spire of an abandoned castle that seems to almost have a vortex of fog acting like a cyclone above it. This is where we'll pick up in session 1, a band of random folk finding themselves as lost as one another (Unless you'd like to play a character from Barovia, or perhaps from somewhere else in Ravenloft
What Jesse brings to the table
I will bring spoticord with custom playlists and ambience - I will bring dynamically lit maps, a well structured and surprisingly fast paced campaign! Aswell as! Premade characters!
Homebrew rules
XP to lvl 3 inspired int rework - https://youtu.be/GKeNZrqswtQ?si=UhpcAR0xgum3p03x for every +1 you have in you're intelligence you gain either a Prof- or a language- However! if you have a -1 you equally lose a prof or a language!, Deathly Injuries Instead of dying on failed death saves, I the dm will give you're character an optional permanent debuff or you can allow you're character to die., Rules of cool - Do not rules lawyer me in the middle of combat or event. Contact me personally if you really feel like I ran it in a way that was detrimental to others or something akin- but I will often and I mean REGULARLY not know the exact rules for situations akin to mounted combat, the rule of cool is considerably more important to me as a DM aswell, so I will also knowingly allow some rules to be broken if I feel it provides a better experience., Health Potion slog - If you drink a healing potion as a main action you gain max hp from it, if you drink it on a bonus action you gain rolled hp as listed, Targeting attacks - Anyone can do it! Usually it will be at disadvantage but please get creative!, Meet to beat!
