You will get rules guidance, support with your character, and a full adventure you can complete in a single session. No prior D&D experience is needed. Pre-generated level 3 characters are available, so you can sit down and play without worrying about character creation. If you prefer to bring your own character, that option is available too.

About me
Hi folks! I’m Bauric, and Dungeons & Dragons has become one of the great joys of my life. Maybe you feel the same way. Maybe you’ve been playing for years, collecting dice you absolutely do not need, and building characters you may or may not ever get to use. Or maybe you’re brand new, a little curious, and wondering if this whole “roll dice and pretend to fight goblins” thing is actually for you. Either way, I think we’ll get along just fine. At my Table, I try to run games that feel welcoming, cinematic, and full of memorable moments. I love a good creepy mystery, a dramatic villain speech, a desperate last stand, and the kind of ridiculous table joke that somehow becomes permanent campaign lore. As a Dungeon Master, I care most about making sure everyone feels comfortable, involved, and excited to come back. New players are always welcome at my table, and experienced players will still find plenty of room for big choices, dangerous fights, strange discoveries, and character moments that actually matter. I mostly run D&D 5.5 / 2024 rules, with 5e compatibility where it makes sense. The rules matter, but the story and the people at the table matter more. Think I might be your kind of DM? Come join a game, send me a message, and let’s roll some dice.

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.
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.
Homebrew rules
- You may drink a potion as a bonus action and roll for effect. - If you drink a potion as an action, you get the full effect of it.

Safety
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.
