About the adventure

/|| CINEMATIC ||\ Our story focuses on the hearts of heroes! The call to adventure, protecting others, and the heavy cost of it all, this is what our game is about. The Delian Tomb requires the cunning, bravery, and sacrifice found only in true heroes! Do you have what it takes? =[= [ TACTICAL ] =]= Punch a goblin so hard he knocks out 3 others like some unhinged bowling alley animation! Combo abilities with your allies, gain momentum, or turn the tides with clever tactics. The action doesn't stop on your turn- gain powers from triggers in the heat of battle. Oh! And you'll never whiff an attack again. (But neither will the enemy!) v^V^ { HEROIC FANTASY } ^V^v Put it all on the line, for the good of all! Grow into the hero you were always meant to be. Build your alliances with tense negotiations. Build your power with robust crafting. Build your army with followers and companions. Build your legend with earned titles. Build the story you've always wanted to tell- and it all starts here, in the pits of DELIAN TOMB! ====== Now that the hype is out of the way: Hi 👋, I'm Varick (Lvl14Bard)! I've absolutely fallen in love with Draw Steel by MCDM, and I want to share this awesome game with you. I strive to offer the best of 3 things: 1) Building an awesome, welcoming community. My Discord server is a diverse and insanely welcoming spread of people who I am so #blessed to have met. I try my hardest to recreate the priceless experience of sitting around the table with great friends to tell an unforgettable story. And wow, I am so lucky to have the opportunity to welcome you into the fold. 2) Designing a buttery smooth play in a stunning audio-visual experience. Using my programming and design skills, I work (a little obsessively) on creating a Virtual Tabletop experience that combines the comfort of playing at a table with the immersive graphics and ambience of video games- all while running on your potato PC. 3) Adapting each story to the party. I think one of the greatest joys of being a Game Master is using my improv and storytelling skills to blend, both mechanically and narratively, all the wishes of each group into a thrilling, rich, cohesive experience. It is by far the greatest challenge, and one I enjoy pursuing. Sorry for the wall of text- I just wanted to make sure you have all the information you need to make a decision. If what you see interests you, but you want to play a different system, or need a different timeslot, reach out to me here on StartPlaying, my email [ Lvl14Bard@gmail.com ], or my Discord [ Lvl14Bard ]! Hope to hear from you soon. I can't wait to see what story we tell together!

About me

I’m Varick (He/They) aka Lvl14Bard, and I’m here to make YOUR story come to life! Back in 2015, I used my improv training and what remained of a D&D 5e PHB to bluff my way through my first campaign. Now, utilizing my BA in Game Design, I collaborate with my players to craft unforgettable tales of epic heroism, stirring dramas, and goblin puns. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🫱🏽‍🫲🏻♾️My games are always a safe space where everyone is celebrated! My love for TTRPGs pushes me towards constant improvement. Whether that’s playing a new system or trying out new techniques, I’m always looking for a new challenge. Looking to try a new RPG? Can’t find a game? Having scheduling issues? Message me: I’ll find a solution. I can’t wait to see what kind of story we’ll tell together!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

All you need is a Discord account, a microphone, a computer with at least 8 GB of RAM (most non-Chromebooks will meet this), and a relatively stable internet connection. StartPlaying will send you an automatic email with a link to my TTRPG Discord server. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always message me on Discord at Lvl14Bard or email me at Lvl14Bard@gmail.com

What Varick (Lvl14Bard) brings to the table

I provide a welcoming community, ambient sounds and music, custom maps, years of game developer experience, and smooth virtual experience. I care deeply about making sure my players are comfortable, and feel empowered to play. Every group is different, and so each of my games are, too! I tend to run a game that honors the best of both Rules as Written (playing by the rules) and Rule of Cool (breaking the rules to suite the story), where the rules are used to create a sense of fairness and consistency at the table, while also allowing for creative solutions that no rules could ever plan for. This allows players who enjoy a more consistent and balanced experience and those who enjoy a more loose and narrative experience to not just play well together, but benefit each other.

Safety

How Varick (Lvl14Bard) creates a safe table

Before we start, I will send you a message with a link to the "Deck of Player Safety". This is basically a list of topics you anonymously send to the group (even I wont know!) that you do not want to see in our game. We will also have a little time to text chat in the Discord server to cover any other concerns you may have, even those mundane as shyness. My games are built on mutual empathy and grace- therefore you can change the topics you are uncomfortable with or step away at any time, no questions asked. After the game, we'll do "Stars and Wishes", which is the fantasy way of saying we'll celebrate the session and decompress. Though many of the topics in the content warning section are negotiable, the following will be necessary to tell the story we are looking to tell together: Violence (at least cartoon/slapstick level), kidnapping, violence against fantasy beasts (such as wolf-like monsters), capturing of adults, and creepy caves.
