About me
I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs for decades, starting with Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, and I still love the same thing that drew me in from the beginning: the chance to step into a great story with other people and create something unforgettable together. Over the years, I’ve played through multiple editions, different styles of campaigns, and all the chaos and magic that come with long-term gaming. I eventually stepped into the GM role so someone else could finally have a chance to be a player, but once I got behind the screen, I realized I had found something I genuinely loved. Running great games is not just something I do, it is something I care deeply about. As a Game Master, I focus on creating sessions that feel immersive, well-paced, and personal to the people at the table. I want players to feel like their choices matter, their characters belong in the world, and every session moves the story forward in a meaningful way. I believe the best campaigns balance structure with freedom, strong storytelling with player agency, and preparation with room for those unexpected moments that make tabletop gaming special. When you join one of my games, you can expect a table that is welcoming, intentional, and built for memorable play. I take preparation seriously, I respect my players’ time, and I work to make every session feel like it was worth showing up for. Whether you’re here for rich roleplay, hard choices, tense combat, character growth, or simply the thrill of being part of a living story, my goal is to give you a game that feels engaging from the first scene to the last. If you’re looking for a GM who cares about the experience, knows how to keep the story moving, and wants every player to feel like they matter, I’d be glad to welcome you to my table.

Creating your character
Pre-generated level 3 characters are available and recommended for new players. If you would rather bring your own character, you may create a level 3 character in D&D Beyond. I can help with setup before the game if needed.
New players are especially welcome. This is a guided, beginner-friendly one-shot built to help you learn D&D in a single session. Pre-generated characters are available, but you will still need a free D&D Beyond account to select one before play. Please arrive 10 minutes early if this is your first time using D&D Beyond or Foundry VTT. Current Party - Charlie T: Halfling Rogue/Thief - Nephixo: Dragonborn Oath of Vengeance Paladin
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You only need a browser and discord to play. If you use a pre-generated character, there is little to set up before the session. If you bring your own character, you will need a D&D Beyond account. I will provide the Foundry link before game time, and I can help you get set up beforehand if needed.
What Bauric brings to the table
This is a guided, beginner-friendly game with clear rules support, strong pacing, immersive roleplay, and tactical combat that stays easy to follow. My goal is to make the game welcoming, engaging, and easy to step into, whether this is your first session or your fiftieth.

How Bauric creates a safe table
At the start of the session, we will briefly align on expectations, character choices, and table comfort. This game uses X, N, and O Cards, Open Door, scheduled breaks, debriefing, and aftercare tools. Players may raise concerns at any time, publicly or privately, and content can be paused or redirected without pressure. I run my table with an emphasis on respect, clarity, and psychological safety. Boundaries are taken seriously, and the goal is to create a space where players can stay engaged, comfortable, and supported throughout the session.
