The series will kick off with a celebration event designed for about 3 hours of play, then continue for 4 weeks. Each of those sessions will run 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

About me
I'm a bit older, (57) But super young at heart. I played my first D&D game in the summer of 1975 at 7 years old. I grew up in a town where the famed "Judges Guild" was located and played at their facility as a kid. I've played the game off and on most of my life. In 2013 at 45 years old I went back to college to earn an additional degree. It just so happened that my daughter also attended the same school. The following year, we got together, along with some other friends of various ages and created a Tabletop Gaming Club. It quickly grew to the largest club on campus by the end of the year. Each week we regularly had more than 60 people playing Dungeons and Dragons! That said, I enjoy organizing and playing. I offer games for free because I genuinely enjoy the game. If you liked your experience and want to leave a tip, well that's great it will help pay for books and what not. Just leave a tip via a custom payment through Start playing ☺️ If you have any questions at all, feel free to DM me.

Creating your character
You will utilize the DnD Beyond character creator to create a level 3 character. If you do not have a DND Be3yond account, it is free to all. I will give you a campaign link to DnD Beyond in which you will be able to use ANY of the 2024 character options that have been released.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need to play is a free DnD Beyond account and a free Discord account for voice and text. We will not use web cameras as most people don't enjoy being watched by strangers :)
What GusNBru brings to the table
I am a DM who believes in rulings over rules and the rule of cool. No question is dumb, if you do not know, just ask and I will take the time to explain it to you.

Safety
How GusNBru creates a safe table
We will discuss "safety" once our session is filled. But the bottom line is the game is open to all and no one shall infringe on the right of another to enjoy their game.
