About the adventure
Step right up to test your skills against other adventurers! Settle your grudges! Have a wizards' duel! See whose character really is the most powerful! The competition will be intense, but friendly. Good-natured heckling is fine, especially when the dice cause the drama, but bullying of any kind is not allowed. Each session will start with either a Single Elimination or Round Robin tournament, depending on the number of players, then move on to other formats including group fights. Fights are to the death with automatic revivification, so we can do another tourney right afterward. We'll change the character level or tourney rules every few sessions to keep it interesting. Bring your best Level 5 character from any official sourcebook. I can only share the Player's Handbook so far. We'll add magic items in future sessions. This is open to all skill level and I'm happy to teach, so feel free to try out new character concepts.

About me
I love GMing because I love watching my players' faces light up when they realize they get to do a cool thing. Sometimes it's "wait, I can be a goblin?!" or "I can fly!" Other times it's the realization that a fireball is a whole handful of dice, or watching a roll come up Natural 20. Even a Natural 1 is disappointing fun for all at my table. I spent 20 years as a historical swordfighter and medieval recreationist, basically playing real life D&D without magic. It's more fun with magic and monsters! As a member of the LGBTQ+, anti-fascist, anti-racist community, I try to keep my games as inclusive as possible while excluding bigots. BOOKING REQUESTS: I'm available most days to play on your schedule! My homebrew: Renzopolis (an Open World city with a map that might be familiar to my medievalist friends) Whistlecoil & Silvertong's Mechanical Adventure Simulator (a one-shot carnival that can be canon in your campaign) Whistlecoil & Silvertong's as a campaign PvP Fight Night (I referee your grudge match or organize a tournament) My official modules: Lost mine of Phandelver Uni and the Hunt for the Lost Horn Scions of Elemental Evil Frozen Sick Intro to Stormwreck Isle Prisoner 13 (Keys from the Golden Vault) If there's a different game you'd like me to run, let me know. Estoy estudiando Español, pero soy nuevo.

Creating your character
Please have a level 5 character ready on DND Beyond. Let me know if you need help making one! Characters in this campaign have access to my books.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a microphone, free Discord account, and free DnDBeyond account. Camera is optional. Use your real dice or my digital ones. Optional: sign in at Owlbear Rodeo to unlock extra tools.
What Renzo brings to the table
My gaming style is lighthearted and low-stakes. Sure, we're all trying to kill each other, but we'll have fun doing it! Players have full agency over their characters and can do anything that the Fates and the Rule of Cool allow. I use voices, custom maps, and music to help set my stage in the theater of your mind. Game start time is flexible; let me know if you want to change it!

How Renzo creates a safe table
We take bio/stress breaks as needed, especially at scene changes. Every session starts and ends with time for questions and concerns. We use X, N, and O cards as part of our Virtual Table Top, Owlbear Rodeo. They're part of the Rumble! extension. I keep a Lines, Veils, Stars, and Wishes document for each campaign that players can edit anonymously. My games NEVER include: Sexual assault Detailed, explicit torture or sex Player-on-player bigotry, bullying, or harassment
