About me

After 25 years of GMing and even more as a player, I love world-building, storytelling and seeing the imaginative ideas that players bring to our table. After years of enjoying and being part of other peoples' stories, I had to bring my own stories to share with my friends, old and new. I have run all sorts of games from the worlds of White Wolf (Mage, Vampire, Exalted), Shadowrun, Dungeons and Dragons, and more! I love a rich and interactive world and love to play to the flavor of game my players are looking for.

Character creation

Creating your character

Please come prepared with a standard level 1 D&D 5e character (point buy for attributes) with standard starting gear as described in the character background and class. If using gold to purchase starting gear instead of a starting package, take the max amount rollable and choose items only from the PHB. All core 5e materials are acceptable (no homebrew or non-WotC content). Game will allow for Unearth Arcana playtest materials with DM approval. Please reach out with questions at DarkeDomayn@gmail.com. First session will be a session zero where we will finalize all characters, go over rp safety and preferences, and do a brief intro for characters.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Please have all of the following: -A working computer with a stable internet connection and a working microphone. -A Discord account. -Dndbeyond access (only a free account required, I can share the necessary sourcebooks needed from my master account) -A way to roll dice either digitally (Dndbeyond, etc.), or physically. Preferred: -A working webcam. DM will be on camera, but this is optional for players.

What Darke Domayn Games brings to the table

Game will run with current D&D edition rules as written, dndbeyond maps, and Discord for communication via voice, text and video. Mood music will be provided in addition to live battle maps during combat.

Safety

How Darke Domayn Games creates a safe table

We will utilize lines and veils established at game outset and revised as needed to make sure everyone feels safe and accommodated. DM open door policy is in effect for discussion aside from game if needed to resolve any issues and we will have a session zero to review all of this.
