About me
Hello and well met! I have been playing one version of D&D to the next (except 4th edition) since 1982 when I fell in love with this game while getting my first experience playing with a friend in the back of a station wagon on a road trip. I fell into the role of Dungeon Master with my friends at the time the way that most do (no one else wanted to do it). I immediately fell in love with that role. The directing of a shared story narrative with a table full of friends hit my sweet spot. I believe that EVERYONE at the table should have their voice heard. This is what creates that shared experience of the game (whether a one shot or long term campaign). When starting up a new game players will often ask me it (fill in the blank here) is acceptable. My usual reply is yes and that it is my job as a DM to make it work. I usually prefer a pretty even mix of role playing to combat scenarios. I feel like both compliment each other very well. Bringing new players into the game is a joy. There is nothing else like bringing someone into a hobby which has been a part of my life for the past 4 decades!

What Ray DM brings to the table
The Rule of Cool and Rules as Written will be adhered to. Should the group decide on an optional rule then it will absolutely be considered. This campaign is a HEAVY role playing adventure. Combats are generally quick and extremely lethal.
