About the adventure
This game is for players who have gone through session zero. Message me about scheduling a session zero for you! Chart the stars, salvage ships, or discover secrets on your base planet. This game is for those who want the progression and character development of a long term campaign, without having to commit to scheduled sessions. There's no regular scheduled time. There's no fixed group of players; players can drop in and out each session. The players determine the direction of the game. Players start in the town of Canbury, take on jobs, and form crews with other players at the available time slots(coordinating with other players). At the end of the quest any magic items and experience carries over to the next quest you take. In a west marches style campaign players are free to drop in to any new quest, can RP with other members of the guild, and don't have to worry about missing sessions. We will be using the 2024 PHB rules and Dark Matter by Mage hand press as a 3rd party supplement and general setting. This is not a spell jammer campaign. Here is a video for the campaigns premise you can watch https://youtu.be/MOD_rV3QZGQ?si=cCK0Oq3ACwrLOeqq Here is where you can view the campaign primer and learn more! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ai9y6KWxiVGeIcroymz64RWLNMSeML6N/view?usp=sharing

About me
Hello! I am an experienced DM with multiple full campaigns under my belt and I fall more and more in love with D&D with every roll of the dice. I am so thankful that thanks to this site and my community I have been able to make DMing my fulltime career! LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly! I have been playing TTRPGS for over 16 years, and even tried my hand at designing my own system once or twice. Me and my friends would take turns DMing for each other until I eventually became the designated dm. I have been running a west marches campaign on SPG for over two years! I enjoy campaigns that are character driven and fully believe in the heart of the collaborative story telling. Each campaign is tailored to the players in the group I make sure every player has an affect on the story. The best part of D&D is that even as the DM I have no idea what is going to happen. “I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else.” ~ Gary Gygax

Creating your character
- Character creation will happen before the session start. - All players joining start at level 5. - Players will start with 2 potions of healing. - Players can use any stat generation method they would like(although rolling for stats must be public) - Players can choose from the 2024 PHB handbook or Dark Matters supplement for character options.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should be prepared to join the discord server as members of the community, with access to a good quality mic and headphones in a setting that wont disturb the other players. If you arent familiar with roll20 you should make an account and go through their tutorial. I can also sit with you prior to the session to help you get started. If you need any additional assistance getting familiar with the software let me know and I will try to help you as best as I can.

Safety
How Ricardo Garcia The Designated DM creates a safe table
We will go over each of the safety tools during session zero. Each session will have a midpoint 5-10 minute break for bio. I always have an open door policy, players can message me at any time with issues, even during session. We also use the digital X,N,O cards in Roll20.
