About me

Well, look who rolled initiative....... My name is Josh I’ve been playing and GMing for a long time, and I genuinely love the game. I’m always thinking about D&D. Coming up with new mechanics, new stories, and new ways to make sessions feel fresh while still respecting the source material. I lean heavily into roleplay and improvisation, because I think the best moments at the table are the ones you don’t plan for. I love building immersive worlds and stories that really pull players in. If you want to play something a little strange or unexpected—like a Grung cowboy one session and a veteran from a forgotten war from another time the next—I’m happy to find a way to make it work if it serves the story. I enjoy playing with both new and experienced players. I’m always happy to help newcomers learn the game, and I love digging into backstories with players who want deep lore, personal stakes, and characters that feel real. At the end of the day, I just want everyone at the table to feel invested, comfortable, and excited to see what happens

And you think you can prove it. There is so little info but you know one thing it happened in Grimwich Wrongdoing in Grimwich but no one can prove it - people disappearing. Strange magical phenomena, possible crime. But you can’t seem to prove it no one believes you if you could just get enough evidence you could prove yourself Motivation of Greed Magical paranormal phenomenons- Magical storms. Sightings of ancient magic possibly the source for wild Magic. If you can get your hands on what makes this place so unique you would be the greatest caster in the world or….. The richest

Homebrew rules

No Stunning Locking you cannot stun a stunned creature No references, take inspiration from characters you like but make them original I want you to make someone that works with the party and has a reason to adventure or be a part of the journey. I would like Synergy with classes races and personalities I prefer no Socially or Combat impulsive characters Passives are 8+ instead of 10+ drinking potion is a bonus action but if you drink it as an action you roll max. you can't stun a stunned creature power word kill has a save.

Safety

How Oshu creates a safe table

X Card (Red): Used when content crosses a boundary (a Line) or causes significant discomfort; the scene stops, and the GM changes direction immediately. N Card (Yellow/Near): Signals that the current content is approaching a Line or Veil, asking the GM to slow down or shift focus, but the scene continues for now. O Card (Green/Okay): Used to confirm the player is comfortable and okay with the ongoing content, often signaling a positive check-in or a desire for more of that scene. message me on discord or startplaying games you will be sent a questionaire asking what you are and are not comfortable in the campagin which sets the tone. This is a safe space please never feel embarrresed or scared to come to me with concerns on the story, on players, or even me.
