About me
A focus on fun! I am a parent of 3 boys. My oldest in 2021 asked to play and was hooked on TTRPG's since. We have a blast in our home games. This experience brought back memories of playing D&D 3.5 in the community college cafeteria. A too short lived experience but super memorable. I have come to love new systems and have played a lot with Monster of the Week, Call of Cthulhu, and am learning Candella Obscura. That narrative style of game play has shaped my approach to my 5e games as well. I am a 46 year old cis white guy. I am also a therapist, parent and magic enthusiast (Tricks not the TCG, though I've played that as well). I am a husband and a parent and all of those roles help shape who I am as a person and as a GM. That therapist part means I have all clearances for my state and my background helps me feel comfortable working as a GM for teens, and families.

Creating your character
Adam will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
This game is designed for VERY new players. Like it's their first time with a table top role playing game. We will be using pregens only. Our goals a few skill checks, social interactions and a lite combat. All Players will use Pregens that I created.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
For the purposes of Starter Set the best way to prepare is to get links and signups ready for Discord and D&D Beyond. When you choose to join this game I will get you into a Discord that will include all the links you need.
What Adam brings to the table
I will have everything you need. Access to a character. Links to all the things involved. We will use Discord and D&D Beyond there will be no other things for us to have. Everything will be setup on D&D Beyond and ready to go.

How Adam creates a safe table
We will have a brief explanation of rules expectations and safety tools. This is called session 0. Because time is at a premium we will have a session 0 that is typically shorter than most.
