About me
Hello my name is James and I have been playing tabletop rpgs since I was 6 years old. I am a second generation nerd who loves running games in a variety of systems and would love to craft a campaign specific for you.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
First session will involve character creation using the Genesys rpg system with some added campaign specific options.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
They will want a Roll20 and a Discord account. A working headset and Mic is preferable. Details on a discord server to join will happen before session 1.
What James Windus brings to the table
I love to do voices for characters. I want to incorporate real world archeological lessons and techniques. I want to give the players ethical conundrums on what to do in the face of immense and powerful evil, and give them the opportunity to prove themselves truly heroic.
Homebrew rules
There will be some additional character creation choices at the first session when characters are built. If done for Genesys the system does not use maps for combat usually so I have my own "rough battle map" style for it. For 5e potions are a bonus action.

How James Windus creates a safe table
I will be using the X, N,O method but I call it "Stoplight" using green, yellow and red. Same concept though.
