About me
Hello, friend, wanna roll some dice? My name is Leandro Cornelsen, and I've been playing RPGs for the last 11 years now. I love to create maps, tokens, and, most of all I love to DM for my friends. My main goal while playing is to make everyone at the table have a good time, and to relax in a safe space where we roleplay and let the dice guide our fun. So, what are you waiting for? Let's play RPG!

Creating your character
You'll recive the link for a google forms where you'll anwser some quick questions to create the kid you'll play as. Remember, the key is crafting a character that not only brings joy to your gameplay but also enhances the overall experience for everyone at the table. Since this game has a very simple character sheet, we will create it at the start of the session.
