About the adventure
You from Balni, a city floating in the clouds amongst a world of floating islands, skyships, and various beasts. The ground was flooded long ago, and life has taken to the skies. There are remnants of the technological and magical advancements of the past in the city and in ruins scattered across the world. You have an itch to leave the safety of Balni, and explore the wider world, maybe it's tales of the pirates that soar the skies, or to discover an answer to the many mysteries that lie in wait.

About me
My name is Isaiah Huey and I have been playing dungeons and dragons for 20+ years. I started with AD&D and I have never looked back. In those years I have spent the vast majority as a GM, running games for new friends who I was trying to indoctrinate into the light of adventure with friends. I have DM'd for groups as large as 10 and as small as one other person, so I am flexible in how I can operate as GM.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need both a discord and a roll20 account for the game to be run effectively. I plan to use a discord to stream the roll20 game so you won't need to have more than one screen.
What Isaiah Huey brings to the table
I like to use character voices and ambient mood music to set the tone in games. I also try will incorporate songs that connect to your characters, so if you make a playlist of music that you feel relates to yours I will add those to the playlist. So feel free to make a playlist and share it with me. I tend to mostly do instrumental tracks ( but some with lyrics do slip in). I like to use the rule of cool, with regard to the rules.
Homebrew rules
Potions as a bonus action, as well as administering one to an ally or NPC. Modified Crits: Roll as normal then add one die of maximum damage and your modifiers.

Safety
How Isaiah Huey creates a safe table
I believe that roleplaying games are a chance to escape from the real world. I want players to feel safe, and comfortable to explore. Everyone deserves a chance to have fun with their imaginations in a safe space. If there are things you don't want in the game please let me know. I have X,N,O cards already on the Roll20
