About the adventure
Welcome to the world of Synallagi. Your mostly typical world of fantasy, be it high or dark. You can expect small medieval towns, and lost ruins; monsters and mages, warlords and whatnot. If you liked to mash all your toys of various IP together growing up, this may just be the world for you. If you don't mind getting a little silly, this may be for you. If you want to swing a sword at a slime and carouse with cowboys, we can do that. You want a little sci-fi and anime inspiration in your characters or villains? I've done it before and will do it again. The idea is to do fantasy as a base ingredient to this game and get whacky from there, but don't get it twisted, drama and tragedy are also old friends at my table. The characters you bring to the table are a large determining factor.

About me
Hi there. My name is Jesus Avila, and I have been GM-ing D&D 5e since my last deployment in 2018. I began playing D&D 3.5, but have only ever DM'ed 5e. I have run approximately 10 campaigns, and all have been homebrewed settings and adventures. I started out making all the classic rookie DM blunders like overpreparing, stressing that PCs were winning too easily and even holding too hard to rules as written. I have had enough time to cool it with all of that and have been running easy/low effort games for years now. My players and their characters are the stars, and I do love when they shine. Having said that, I do not write hard plots with hopes of players following along, I instead try to give the players the chance to pursue their characters' goals. Call it lazy, but the story is whatever my players bring. My end of the work is tying together the party, and occasionally throwing a call to action their way if they get shy.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen at session 0. All official published D&D material is allowed. Players may use any character creation app or site that will allow them to share their character sheet for me to view. The purpose of me viewing your character sheet is to help you, especially if you are new to the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord account and a device with a working mic. I recommend having physical dice for the fun of it, but a roller app is fine too. You will receive the discord invite once you join the game.
What Evil A brings to the table
I run games using theater of the mind to establish the setting. I sometimes attempt to do character voices, but don't you feel pressured to do the same. I do not provide ambient music, so you do so for yourself if you please. My combat is sometimes scary, but not complicated. I do like the rule of cool when rules as written fail to meet the moment.
Homebrew rules
Max out HP at levels 1-3. Take extra skill, language or tool proficiencies equal to your intelligence modifier.

How Evil A creates a safe table
As a veteran with many hours of sensitivity and inclusion training, and a man with many vulnerable people in my life to care about, I do take this matter very seriously. Session 0 is partly for discussing what all I and my players are not ok with happening to their characters and how to treat each other. At the end of each and every session I will ask my players for feedback with the following questions: Did everyone have fun? Is everyone ok? Does anyone have questions, comments or concerns?
