About me
I started playing DnD in 1984 or so, but pretty much stopped playing in the mid-90s (“adulting” happened I guess!). Passion for the fantasy genre (as a broad category of interest) never changed however, and over the past few years I’ve found myself back in the DnD world, at first as a player in several campaigns, to wind up being a full-time DM! I have a great passion for DnD, and bring that to the table always!

Creating your character
Using 2014 rules, we will do a free session zero, to orient the world a bit, and discuss character creation. If it takes more than one session zero, so be it. Sign up, and get the links from me, and let's get started!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need: -a Discord account -a DND Beyond account -a pc or laptop -a microphone -a positive attitude! (your character can be as dark as you wish, but at it's heart this is a cooperative and social game)
What Bink Plank / Chorash aka DM Christian the Distantly in Line brings to the table
I'll bring the virtual table top, maps, custom art, sounds, etc. As much creativity as possible. RAW unless the RAW is a bad one. No fudged rolls, "if he dies, he dies". A combo of deadly encounters with zany antics (some comedy is essential in Barovia, you'll see).

How Bink Plank / Chorash aka DM Christian the Distantly in Line creates a safe table
I only selected a few of the applicable content warnings. But expect that unless someone identifies something, "anything goes" in this campaign. If you have specific content you wish to exclude, just tell me, no judgement, everyone needs to be safe here. Barovia can be a scary place, we don't need to make it unnecessarily so. Please feel free to communicate with me openly or anonymously to stay away from triggering content.
