About the adventure
This campaign is for someone looking for an exciting adventure in which the curious and wacky themes of Dungeon Crawl Classics are emphasized while the party faces the reality of leaving behind who they were and embracing who they must become to survive. If you enjoy the unpredictable nature of DCC's magic system, the intrigue of fighting mysterious and deadly enemies, and the freedom to explore bountiful loot and increased class specialization, then you will enjoy playing in this game. The game will be facilitated using voice and video for the play sessions, and a text chat for anything that may arise in between sessions.

About me
I have been playing games of all kinds my whole life. My first real experience gaming is Pokemon Yellow, and as I grew older, I started to appreciate games that allow for progression, exploration, and told a good story, like Outer Wilds, Baldur's Gate 3, and Payday 2. I started playing TTRPGs in college and was blown away by the amazing community, the wealth of content, and the different approaches to what makes an enjoyable, shared experience. I initially played only 5e, but was introduced to Dungeon Crawl Classics when I was looking for a system to play a campaign inspired by Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl book series. On the personal side, I am a practicing dentist and enjoy reading, eating delicious food, and gaming (both single-player and online competitive games). My friends and family tell me that I have a sharp sense of humor, an unusual attention to detail, and a tendency to obsess over my hobbies. I'm good about sticking to scheduling commitments.

Creating your character
Level-0 funnel to start. Players will generate at least 4 level-0 characters during session 0, with the expectation that some of them will not survive. This can easily be auto-generated online.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All players must join a private group chat for the campaign prior to session 0. Players should have at least a basic understanding of how to play within a D20 system, and bonus points for having played Dungeon Crawl Classics before.
What Spencer brings to the table
I will have a text chat to organize information and scheduling, and to conduct the voice/video calls. I will do different character voices and supplement story telling and descriptions with pictures as needed. Pretty much always Rule of Cool.
Homebrew rules
This campaign will feature many homebrew items, traits, enemies, and other features with the goal of being fun and exciting. I like to give items to players that introduce well-liked and fun mechanics from other role playing games.
