About me

Hello and welcome. I am DM Spaghetti, a Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master with over a decade of experience running games for groups of all sizes, ages, and play styles. My priority when running games is always to provide the best possible experience for all players and to do so in a safe, fun way that invites and rewards creativity, cooperation, and the building of community between both players and player characters.

Character creation

Creating your character

Character Creation will be handled within the community Discord Channel. Characters will start at level 1 and final revisions will be made during Session 0. Character finalization will not occur until after the release of Ravenloft: The Horrors Within to ensure all players have access to the new content during character creation. Note: Players will be allowed to freely change/adjust character builds until level 4, after which all subclasses, feats, ect are 'locked in'.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Accounts should be created on Discord and Roll20. A link to the community discord server will be provided upon joining and a link to the Roll20 game will be provided within the server. An introduction to Roll20 will be provided during session 0 for new users to the platform.

What DM Spaghetti brings to the table

With the tools at my disposal as a professional DM working with premium features, you can expect ambient music, immersive role play, and a trained hand at balancing a satisfying narrative, rule of cool, and reasonable limits.

Safety

How DM Spaghetti creates a safe table

This adventure features several adult themes which can be distressing to some audiences. Players under 18 are encouraged to join with or be accompanied by a trusted adult. Content warnings will be expanded upon during Session 0 and players may request the adventure be modified to exclude certain topics at that time. Additionally, all private requests to end a scene will be immediately accommodated with a 'fade to black' anonymously with no questions asked.
