About the adventure
From the mountains of the North, to sweltering jungles of the East, to the desert in the West, and the forests to the South, our intrepid adventurers will face not only the elements but also fierce and will opponents. Explore forgotten tombs, sprawling cities, and even coziest of villages as you learn to play one of the greatest RPGs ever made. These one-shots come from various authors! I have extensive experience helping players learn to play 5e, so don't feel like you can't enjoy one of the greatest role playing games ever made. With a selection of pre-generated characters, players can quickly jump and learn how to play while fighting goblins, spiders, and bears. Oh my!

About me
I started running games in 2016 cause I thought Adventure League was too loud and crowded at my local game shop. My main games are DnD 5e and Cypher, though I have experience with Alien RPG, Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars D6, and more! I love comedy and fantasy games but thoroughly enjoy horror and sci-fi. My goal as a GM is to make sure you're having fun and encourage character building/growth. I'm not a RAW kind of GM. While I do defer to the rules on certain things, my overall goal is to keep balance and fun integral to the game. I also give inspiration if you make me laugh out loud while you're in character.

Creating your character
GMSyd will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Foundry via browser and Discord accounts and have a basic understanding of how to play DnD (ie, rolling dice, basic arithmetic, etc). Players will only need a microphone, and we'll be using Discord for voice chat.
What GMSyd brings to the table
Foundry assets. I love using fun voices for characters. Not all of my voices are great, but I have a couple here and there that are really good. I also love helping people learn to play RPGs. Not just 5e, but Cypher, Alien RPG, and more.

How GMSyd creates a safe table
General Rules 1) Respect and listen to your fellow players. 2) Respect and listen to the GM. 3) Please do not distract other players. 4) Making the GM laugh so hard they can’t breathe while you’re in character gives you XP. 5) Take notes. 6) Please save meta-gaming, rule debates, memes, etc. until designated break times. 7) Random Events can occur at the GMs discretion. 8) Remember actions have consequences. 9) Keep noise at a reasonable level. Respect our neighbors and all of our ears. 10) No explicit actions will be detailed in-game. This includes sex, torture, etc. In accordance with StartPlaying.games rules and rightly so, no non-consensual sexual actions and no pedophilia will be allowed in this game. 11) No politics. 12) The Rule of Cool applies to the GM as well as players. I have an Open Door policy. You can step away for any reason, and the only thing we'll ask is if you're ok.
