About the adventure
Welcome to the Wizarding college, Prism Academy! You have been accepted into one of the major colleges for wizards within the nation of Dragon Song. Learn advanced magic, create your own spells, and explore the dungeon under the school as part of your dungeonering classes. This is a light hearted game with eccentric characters. Think Harry Potter meets Saturday morning cartoons. This game is my own take on Dungeon of the Mad Mage, where you will have a mix of exploring the dungeons beneath the academy, and rp with your fellow college NPCs and players. Utilize materials you find in the dungeon to craft weapons, armor, scrolls, potions, and more. Develop you signature magic utilizing a unique homebrew system I use. Free Session 0!!! Starting from level 5 Homebrew systems for crafting and spell making Homebrew systems to enhance your signature style of magic. Experienced DM who loves voicing unique characters and monsters Visual style of presentation, every npc will have a token and most of the game will be mapped, played through Foundry I select ambient music to further enhance the experience of the game We will be using the 2014 rulesets, but if there is something that interests you from 2024 rules, let me know.

About me
My name is Travis Lock. I am an asexual male. I have been playing and running dnd 5e for 3 years now, and run in my homebrew world of Ode. I love high fantasy and putting the player at the center of the story. I love weaving player backstories into the main narrative to really make players feel like they are part of the world. Dnd is a passion of mine, and a passion I love to share.

Creating your character
Character creation will be handled in a free session 0. If the game is already in progress, then I will meet 1 on 1 with new players to create a character. We use point buy for stats Hp is a max dice at level 1, then all dice are rolled. If you roll below average you take average instead. I do not use backgrounds, I instead use a homebrew system that is about where in the world you are from.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Forge and Discord account. A decent microphone and a computer are required to play.
What Travis Lock brings to the table
I bring a passion for dnd with a game that has been crafted with all my heart! I custom tailor every game so the players are always the stars and the game is their story! I bring a variety of voices and accents to bring NPCs to life, music chosen to enhance every moment, and Foundry VTT a powerful software to give a very visual style of presentation!
Homebrew rules
The rules I use are fairly standard with some homebrew mixed in like: -We always roll hit dice on level up, if you roll bellow average, you take average instead -you get an extra hit dice at level 1 that does not gain your con mod -Custom Patheon of Gods -Custom warlock patrons that offer additional spells -Addition systems to help achieve how you invasion your character

How Travis Lock creates a safe table
We will have a session 0 to set expectations and to discuss the game as a whole as well as to make characters. If the game is in progress, I will meet with the new players to do a 1 on 1 session 0. How a typical session will go, is once everyone is logged into discord and the Foundry, we will jump right into the game. I like to have a pretty even mix of exploration, role-play, and combat. Expect serious and silly moments. I enjoy doing a variety of voices to breathe life into the NPCs you will meet and create a world that feels alive. Character death is always a possibility, but is a low risk in this game. If there are any specific lines or phobias you would like to avoid, please feel free to message me or bring it up in session 0 so I can make a note of it and adjust the game as needed.
