About the adventure
🫀Make a monster character that will hit on THE PRIZE - the main goal for all the rest of the monsters AKA THE CONTESTANTS. You're on a game show, or a dating event, where the various CONTESTANTS will prove their worth. At the end of a Q&A portion, 2 dates for each contestant, and some resting in between, THE PRIZE will pick the final winner, and go on the ULTIMATE DATE. 👩❤️💋👨CHARM PERSON was created by Joshua Arthur of Fried Dice Games, and is currently in it's alpha stage. The first edition, HORROR HOMECOMING, is heavily inspired by the likes of the Monster Prom Series, YouTube dating shows, and the old school dating shows of the 80s and 90s. This game is meant to be over the top, comedic, all within a safe fictional space. 💁Expect really bad jokes, pick up lines that don't work, and a hilariously romantic time. 👁️🫦👁️ ⚙️Safety tools we'll be using are X-card for in-game occurrences, and a compulsory LINES AND VEILS document beforehand. You don't need to be good at flirting, just need to know how to roll (digital) dice well! 👀👀👀

About me
Hey there, adventurer! If you’re looking for an epic adventure to go on, for something intriguing to unravel, or for scary beasties to eat your character, you’ll find something at my table that is up your alley. If you don't see a time slot that you can make, please feel free to drop me a direct message here or on discord (theotherjoshart) and we can definitely work something out! I'm Josh (he/him), better known on the internet as Fried Dice. You might've seen me stream my Southeast Asian inspired games on Twitch, or if you live in little red dot called Singapore, you might've played in my games in-person! I’ve been running games professionally for over-half a decade now, and have taught hundreds of new players, shared tables with long-time veterans, and of course everyone else in between. 🍚Community Having run games on twitch, I’ve cultivated a community of TTRPG gamers across the globe. All varieties of experiences, backgrounds, and upbringings have come together and cultivate a safe and welcoming space. 🎲Experience I've ran over 20 campaigns to completion, both homebrew and pre-published campaigns. I've taught hundreds of people how to play D&D from running dozens of Learn to Plays. I primarily run online games on a Foundry, with both animated and static maps. I've run over 100+ online sessions, even more in-person games, encompassing one-shots, mini-arcs, and over 20 campaigns to completion. I’m always looking to learn new TTRPG systems and exploring new ideas. I would love to run games where on top of having fun, everyone grows a little. 🫚Fun and Spice I've been described as an Enabler Game Master by my players, and that fits the bill! I'm all about figuring out what the party wants to do, and making sure it happens. Wanna start a fantasy fast food chain? Let's get there. Want to turn into a dragon? We'll have to work hard for it, but it's not impossible! Do you want to feel like Frodo and the fellowship from Lord of the Rings? Let's make that happen. If all this sounds right up your street, the come by, and let’s have an amazing and memorable adventure together. Bring along a good attitude and respect for the fellow human, and you’ll find yourself right at home. ✨ CURRENTLY AVAILABLE for online games across multiple time zones

Creating your character
There are 5 stats: Wit, Audacity, Artistry, Charm, and Fun, and they all start at a base of 1 point. You then have 6 points to use, and can increase any of the stats up to a maximum of 3. Some examples: Nerdy Sylvester Slime maxes out his Wit, Artistry and Fun - Wit: 3 - Audacity: 1 - Artistry: 3 - Charm: 1 - Fun: 3 Whereas Daring Demona De Ville Teaf Lingfiend prefers are more balanced approach, but with an extra in audacity: - Wit: 2 - Audacity: 3 - Artistry: 2 - Charm: 2 - Fun: 2 Before the game, send me some art of your character so we can all ogle at them in-game 🫦

How Fried Dice creates a safe table
I will primarily use an X card, and for campaigns I will also use a Lines and Veils document. If required, I will be available for any aftercare that players may need.
