About me
Greetings, fellow travelers, my name is Leland and I am a Storyteller and Game Master with experience in TTRPG's, Live Action Role Play and writing. Thanks so much for checking out my profile and considering me to be your GM: whether you are a beginner at sitting down at a TTRPG table, or the most grizzled of veterans pulled in for one more "last job" I look forward to making a memorable experience with you! For me the passion for gaming started back in jr. high, over twenty years ago. I loved how much more immersed and interactive a roleplaying game was compared to the board games and video games I grew up playing. The love for the hobby followed me into university where I created a school sponsored organization celebrating all types of gaming and dedicated to bringing together a community of folks passionate to engage! Since then, I've helped tables as a GM to develop that same community aspect. A place where you don't just show up and leave on time like some 9-5 job, you're here to make memories with some awesome players who love the game as much as you. No matter who you are or what you believe, let's have fun together and see our heroes in exciting action against mighty foes! Can't wait to see you at the table!

Creating your character
Characters can be developed and finalized during or before Session 0, with the following parameters: -Use the linked DND Beyond Campaign to create your characters, which I will upload into Foundry. -We are using the 2024 ruleset, with backwards compatibility for expanded rules content. All WOTC content is allowed. Homebrew content is not allowed. 3rd party/Partnered content must be approved before it can be used... - Except for The Drakkenheim content, which is definitely allowed, extra subclasses and an all new class - the Apothecary! (This content is Foundry exclusive currently not available on DND Beyond so lmk if you are interested in exploring it) -Abilities set using Point Buy, HP set to Fixed, Leveling set to Milestone. Starting Equipment or average gold buy for gear -Characters will begin at Level 3, expecting to end the campaign at Level 15 During Session 0 we will go over some unique characteristics to your character as well as discussing your goals and backstory, which are integral to the campaign. In that backstory we will identify what the adventure calls your "Personal Quest" a mechanic that directly ties your character into the main plotline of the adventure

Homebrew rules
I run a fairly RAW/good faith RAI campaign, with an emphasis on player choice, agency and ability to try alternative ways to solve in game problems. During Session 0 we will discuss any specific rules interactions or concerns you might have, and I keep an open mind during our sessions in the future. There are some unique mechanics in the adventure, especially regarding downtime and crafting that we will be using and give players a unique way to create items and affect the environment.

How Leland Palmer creates a safe table
Prior to session 0 I will forward an RPG consent checklist, which will allow me to curate your experience and avoid sensitive topics. During that session we can discuss specifics further and help to facilitate everyone's enjoyment. The most important tool for safety is communication and I am open before, after and between sessions to address any concerns or opportunities.
