About me
Hello! I’m glad you’re here. I’m Morgan – a professional DM, passionate gamer, and lover of all things that positively nurture the human experience. With over 15 years of dnd experience, I’ve helped players from all walks of life learn to express themselves through stories while having fun and building connections. My background in acting, creative writing, public speaking, and human development is evidenced by the imaginative, creative co-operative game I build with you. Message me and let's get started! The collaborative elements of telling a nuanced, creative, and personal story together with others has been the drive and focus of my games ever since I started DMing. My games have heavy focus on narrative expression, inter-personal relationships, and personalized player experience as opposed to the shoe-horn style of making players fit into specific boxes to fit the campaign. Why not build a campaign around the players than have players build around the campaign? Though there is a level of nostalgia with pre-made modules, my love for the game really shines in world building and homebrew. I've been homebrewing my game worlds since I began DMing. It is truly where I, and my players, flourish.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure you have a computer, discord profile, have joined the discord server, have a microphone, headphones, and an internet connection. You will NOT need to purchase foundry. I am providing all the virtual table top materials. Discord link: https://discord.gg/QwqJKdzxm9
What Morrganical brings to the table
You will get the full suite use of our virtual tabletop which comes equipped with high quality maps, a variety of tokens, ambient lighting and ambient music, and much more. With me as the DM, you will receive carefully crafted narratives to build your characters up and intertwine their stories in our branching narrative to create real connections and moments. I've been playing the game and telling stories for roughly 18 years, DMing for about 15 of them.
Homebrew rules
We have a host of homebrew rules: Drinking a potion is a bonus action, administering it to an ally/enemy is an action. For some campaigns you begin with an extra feat at character creation. You begin each session with inspiration which can be used to reroll any d20 during the session.

How Morrganical creates a safe table
We use safety tools for our games including a safety tools addon for safety cards to stop play, pause play, retcon, fast forward, fade to black, etc. We also have a google form so to address hard and soft lines. Additionally during session 0 we discuss themes, topics, and open "pause" playability.
