About me

Hii! I'm Vivian. When I was a kid, I used to draw comics and make up characters, and with my friends, build worlds. Since my youth, I've always been a creative, a storyteller, and a bit of a rat. I suppose that I've been running games for well over a decade, though my first experience with real meaty gameplay was just seven years ago, when I ran my first session of D&D for my online group. I could say it was perfect, but it wasn't. That first campaign lasted two or so years, and while clunky and imperfect, it was mine. It was my first true campaign, and with that group, I continued GMing. I became a terminal forever-DM, and have spent far more than a reasonable amount of time studying, practicing, and honing my craft. My shelf of books is overflowing, my collection of wisdom and practiced techniques an armory unending, and my amount of insane nonsensical homebrew and game design documents unsettling. I'm a storyteller first, an artist second, a writer third, and an enjoyer of Little Caesar's Lunch Special (Half a deep deep dish with a 20 oz soda! for just 8 dollars) fourth, but coming in a few places behind that, I consider myself an adequate, if not exceptional, Gamemaster... I mean, my players say I'm the best GM either, and I won't call them liars to their faces!

Character creation

Creating your character

Character Creation will be a group effort during Session 0, during which you'll also describe your character's history up to this point, choosing your initial profession from which your quest was just finished.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Join the Discord Server and make sure you have a Forge-Vtt account ready to go! Familiarizing yourself with the interface of Foundryvtt is also not a bad idea.

What Vivian brings to the table

Using Forge-Vtt and various Foundry Models, I intend to present an all too retro experience. Custom pixel art abounds, as well as a full ambient soundtrack and bitcrushed sound effects and visuals.

Safety

How Vivian creates a safe table

There will be an X Card but there will be little in this campaign that could warrant it. I'll keep an eye out for any phobias and remove relevant creatures, though.
