About the adventure
Let's celebrate your special day together! We will learn how to play (if required) and experience the thrills of a fun D&D tale. This session may use pregenerated characters (great for new players), or allow time for partygoers to create their own characters (recommended for experienced players). We will also enjoy sound effects and art created for the story. These are provided via Syrinscape, experts in ambient effects for tabletop RPGs. This adventure is about a party gone horribly wrong, and the heroes have to step in to make everything right. Themes will be appropriate to the ages of the partygoers and their comfort levels.

About me
PREMIUM EXPERIENCES, FRIENDSHIP & ALL BELLS AND WHISTLES - RELIABLY DELIVERED! This is what you receive when you share one of my tables. I am a 30+ year facilitator of RPG games and public play events (including conventions), with over 40 production credits both written and streaming for Wizards of the Coast, DMs Guild, Grim and Perilous Games, and more. I promise top quality experiences delivered completely and safely with accents, sound effects, vibrant description, and even cosplay. Learn more about me, including viewing my products at: http://thehealerdm.carrd.com/ I provide mental health services to youth and families in a public school, so while I predominantly run games for adults, I am very comfortable switching gears to run for kids and families. The skills required to share the game with kids are a little different, and I'm happy to introduce your family to the world of gaming. Experiences I Offer? * Long-term campaigns (with thank you gifts at completion, for real) * One-shot adventures I have published (or am looking to publish with your help) * Company events * Child and adult birthday parties * Celebrations and special events * Gaming learn-to-plays Why Gaming? I enjoy the creativity of this hobby. The shared stories of triumph over adversity build powerful bonds between players. Many of my friends today I made around a gaming table or at gaming events. The connectedness this hobby creates is good for the soul, even offering healing. I promise my campaigns will deliver these to you. Why Hire Me? Every gamemaster on this site is unique. I bring my own set of skills to the table that make me a great pick for the right group. * I am a mental health therapist. The skills that make you a good therapist - communication, listening, understanding, collaboration, empathy - make you an amazing Gamemaster. A lot of my real world work is with kids and families, and I enjoy running games specifically for children and families. * This Master Ain't Sitting on a Mountain. I ran thousands of games (well over 10,000 hours of playtime) and contributed much to the industry, resulting in better player experiences. I am proud of my experience, but I remain a normal and approachable guy. Players meet up with me at cons all the time, and I promise a meal if we can make it happen. * No Holds Barred Gaming. You will feel like Batman because you will have all the cool toys. I share Zoom Pro, Syrinscape soundboard, Roll20 virtual tabletop (when requested), and online play resources (such as a complete D&D Beyond library, or through Google Drive). For D&D, we will use high production value versions by Beadle and Grimm's when available. On campaign completion, I even mail cool swag for players to keep as mementos! Kind & Safe Spaces My charity and advocacy work is well respected in the gaming community. I founded D8 Summit Charities, a 501c3 charity connecting gamer donors to local causes. I speak often about the homeless and the hungry and the sick, and the difficulties marginalized voices and veterans in our society face. Many games I run are explicitly for D8 Summit Charities and other worthy causes. I create specialized safe spaces for minority gamers, children, the neurodiverse, and gaymers. I may offer a discount for marginalized players and veterans upon request.

Creating your character
There are two options, chosen at the time of booking: - Attendees use characters already created for them (better for new players, or getting right into the action). - Attendees create their own characters on the spot (great for experienced players who don't mind losing some time on the gameplay).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should download all applicable software and have accounts for Zoom, They should bookmark Owlbear Rodeo ( http://owlbear.rodeo/ ) for use during the game. Players will need to have a camera and mic available and turned on throughout the session. Players might want to keep snacks and a drink nearby (frequent breaks will be provided, and players can ask for breaks too). While players don’t need to have extensive knowledge of the game, it helps to be somewhat familiar with Zoom, as well as with gaming safety tools.

Safety
How Connor S - The Healer DM creates a safe table
Gameplay is largely dictated by players. Aspects such as social and exploration play can be expanded or contracted as players desire. Combat is ran in a deadly style with opponents that care to survive. Cunning and negotiation, when utilized, will be helpful. Length of the session can be tailored to the duration of your party, as well as the age of the participants. (Zoom can be tough for kids to focus on for too long.) I can run this game in a standard or AL-legal style, as players desire.
