About me
Hi there! The name is Mike or Michael. I have been playing tabletop games as a player and DM for about over 10 years. I started back in college when I first played D&D 3.5 edition and had a blast playing a fighter battling prehistoric crocodiles! Since then I have played numerous game systems and to name a few would be D&D 5th Edition, World of Darkness games, Unisystem games, and Pathfinder editions. As a GM, I enjoy running games for players that enjoy a blend of using game rules and exploring character ideas through roleplaying. I enjoy storytelling that focuses on the characters and may it be a module or homebrew adventure. I like to connect my players with the world, so they may enjoy the world as much as their characters. Every game I run I want my players to have a blast in what they do regardless if its a serious roleplay scene or a fast paced action one. At last, I am definitely a fan of horror and supernatural, so you might see bits of this in my games. I hope to get to play with you and roll some dice at my table!

Creating your character
Ability Scores: You may generate stats using the point buy or standard array method. Level, Class, and HP: Character Level 8th. Any race/class using official 5e (2014 or 2024 rules). We will be using fixed HP. Wealth and Equipment: You can use starting equipment. You may re-sell your starting equipment at half of its original cost. You may have 2 common and 1 uncommon items.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a D&D Beyond account, a Roll20 account, and a Discord Account. A decent mic, headset, and computer are also required. Once you have all this then you are ready to go.
What Señor Mike brings to the table
I will bring to the table a collection of books on D&D Beyond which gives the players in my campaigns access to all of that content. Roll20 will be our tabletop engine where I will provide maps, artwork, and ambient music. As well, immersive dynamic lighting and effects for tactical combat when it occurs.
Homebrew rules
Flanking - Flanking confers a +2 bonus to attack rolls instead of advantage Critical Hits - We will be using the Perkins Crit rule, instead of doubling damage dice, you add the maximum possible value of the damage dice to the normal rolled damage, plus modifiers.

How Señor Mike creates a safe table
I will bring X and O cards digitally in the game for you to use if any content during the course of the game crosses a line or trigger. As well, you can DM me on Discord anytime before the game starts to let me know of anything that might be difficult for you. I will have a 10-minute break at mid-session for bio breaks and etc.
