About me
Hi, My name is John. I've been playing Ttrpg games for 20 years, and I have been Gming for 5 years. I began when our regular Dm at the time needed a break, and I decided why not give it a try. So I decided to do one of the dumbest things......and create a custom high fantasy campaign for 7 players with a fully home brewed story mixed with scp elements, custom abilities, and more. To say the least it was an undertaking, and has been exceptionally rewarding. I have been the full time Dm for going on 3 years solid since the end of our other game. I started playing 2nd edition when i was 17 and have loved the story telling, and fun that comes with this format ever since. I have played 2nd edition, 4e(briefly, it did not go well lol),5e , Werewolf the Apocalypse, Star Wars, Monster of the Week, and a couple others over the years. I have spent the last 8 years playing weekly with a group of people that i couldn't have been luckier to find. In that time we have built a large custom world full of life, lore, and so many possibilities.

Creating your character
Characters can be of any race/species, or class Stats are roll 2 sets of 4d6 drop the lowest, and keep the better set. Player will have starting equipment. Theme- your character should be willing to face escalating, supernatural threats. Avoid overtly evil alignments; morally gray is fine, but you should be willing to help. Can contact me for any questions.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Required: - Internet Access - Microphone - Free Roll20 and Discord accounts - Please make your displayed name across StartPlaying, Discord and Roll20 the same, so there's as little confusion as possible Example: Character's Name (Username) - Have a quiet space to play so we don't have distracting background noise
What John brings to the table
Custom Maps, background music, fun, and epic fights to remember! Discord voice with private channels for Players. Roll20 VTT I am a fan of rule of cool within reason. if it just makes no sense what so ever I'm sorry, but no your familiar you changed into a goat can not open the desk drawer by ramming it.
