About me
Hi, I'm Michael, and I love to play RPGs. Players have told me the games I run are challenging (to the PC's), but cordial and encouraging (to the players). I welcome co-creation from everyone at the table. One of my goals as a GM is to ensure players are in alignment in their preference of playing styles. How much RP'ing, how much combat, how much problem solving, etc.? These are the issues I discuss with players prior to starting a session.

Creating your character
Pre-gens are available. Each of them can be customised prior to the session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord for voice and video. Roll20 for character sheets.
What Michael brings to the table
GM will react to player choices. For the most enjoyable session, remain in character. You don't have to do voices and accents, just describe where you are, what you're doing, and what you're saying.
Homebrew rules
Mostly RAW, aside from group initiative and homebrew tables for sanity. Rule of Cool may be used to enhance an encounter.
