About me
I'm a little bit of everything under the sun. I'm a fun loving jokester, with a love of telling stories. I'm an actor, a programmer, a writer, and a terrible singer, but I let none of that stop me. I've been running, playing, and designing TTRPG's for just under twenty years. D&D and White wolf splats have been my mainstays, but I've been branching out to systems like Legend in the Myst and Daggerheart.

Creating your character
Character creation will take place during session 0. Players are highly encouraged to come with a character concept, or a fully made character if they can. Stats are standard array. Custom feats are allowed, but will need approval.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need both a Discord and Forge-VTT account in order to play. A DnDBeyond account is recommended, but not mandatory.
What Leon brings to the table
I bring the full VTT experience with animations, immersive sounds, ambient music, and custom dice integration. Combat is but one of many types of conflict players will face, and all of them are story first. Conflict will often be challenging, but never unfair.
Homebrew rules
Critical hits have maximum damage on the extra die. Exhaustion has 20 points, -1 to all checks per point. Every player can give 1 heroic inspiration per game. Tag team rules- players can combine their turns, both acting for a single objective. Doing so costs one heroic inspiration, and gives both characters advantage! Inventory and encumbrance will be more like guidelines. Specifics will be decided at session 0, but by default just try to avoid being over encumbered. Homebrew and third party mechanics are allowed at GM discretion.

How Leon creates a safe table
As part of onboarding, players will be sent a link to a Lines and Veils document. The Safety Tools module in Foundry can be used by any player should the need arise. Ten minutes will be reserved for Stars and Wishes at the end of each game.
