About the adventure
My games are New player friendly. I enjoy teaching others the basics of the game. I will adjust the campaign to best help you have the best experience I can possibly give. Themes and settings are usually medieval fantasy but I am open to mixing themes. I try to be as flexible as possible to help everyone learn the game.

About me
I, like most people nowadays, got into D&D during the pandemic of 2020. I volunteered as tribute to get the necessary skills to run games for the friends I could bribe into playing with me. I have only ever used Dungeons & Dragons 5e up to this point. I am easy going and believe the Rule of Cool is the most important rule. As long as were all having fun and all agree to a rule change I'll "Make it so" I am open minded to everything. EXCEPT Relationship/Intimacy Roleplaying. I am just not comfortable with it.

Creating your character
Characters will be created on D&D Beyond using the Standard Array. You will roll 4 D6 then drop the lowest number and add the rest together for each stat.
I am running this with newer players in mind. I want this to be a safe environment to learn to play D&D.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to Sign into or Create an account with D&D Beyond. Once accepted I will send a link to the Discord server.
What Zack brings to the table
I use Rule of Cool at my tables. This means if you do something cool and the rules go against it, I will alter the rules. This adventure is geared towards new players so I will maintain an open and non-judgmental table. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ASKING QUESTIONS! Please ask any questions you have or stop me if I am not explaining it in a way you understand. At the end of the day were here to have fun and as long as were all having fun(and maybe learn something new) I consider that a win for everyone.
