About the adventure
-Full Demiplane sharing! ($200 value!) -Full campaign of the published adventure “The Cataclysm of Kang” -Please message with questions! Expect cinematic action, tactical combat, and heroic storytelling. Every portal is a new challenge, every encounter a chance to rise from sidekick to hero. This adventure is designed to be a slightly more role-play heavy, scene building, cinematic experience. The goal is to cut out all the "Shoe Leather," so that the story and action-oriented combat can be featured.

About me
Rule 1: Treat others with respect and consideration. Abusive language is prohibited. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and all other types of harassment are prohibited. Rule 2: Explicit depictions of excessive or gratuitous violence are prohibited. Rule 3: Explicit descriptions of sexual intercourse are prohibited. (That level of adult content should be avoided. Let’s keep it “Avengers level PG13” so Captain America gets one use of the “F-Word” per film.) I’d love to tell you all about me, but instead...let’s hear from a few NPC’s that know me the best: NPC TESTAMONIALS: “Greg V? Yeah I know him, he made me up on the spot!”--Steve the Town Guard “Sure! I can tell you about Greg V’s GMing style...he’s attentive and imaginative!”--Steve the traveling merchant. “Excuse me? No , I don’t have a ‘British,’ accent. I’m from Waterdeep.”--Baron Steve of Waterdeep TL;DR Enthusiastic, committed, friendly, and accommodating. Flexible and eager to run the games you want to play. Played my first game of D&D back in 2017, and was delighted to have found a new hobby and obsession! Over the last 9 years I’ve been lucky enough to run games in person at both conventions and in game stores. The first time I ran a game online was in the early days of the quarantine. I’ve become familiar with Fantasy Grounds, Owlbear Rodeo, and a smattering of Foundry VTT. Gaming online has become a total comfort zone for me, but I am very lucky to be able to continue gaming in-person with a few different friend groups. D&D 5e will probably always be my “baseline,” but I’ve also become interested in several other game systems as well. I ran a few “Learn to Play” slots of Alien RPG by Free League at a local area convention. If you’ve heard of the new, tactical RPG, Draw Steel, I’ve run several campaigns of that already, and I have knowledge of the boutique VTT for Draw Steel on STEAM. Additionally, I ran Dungeon Crawl Classics for several months in 2024. I've run Delta Green, and Marvel Multiverse RPG! In terms of the “hobby” of tabletop rpg’s, I do spend quite a bit of my free time listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos, and reading articles about D&D, and Tabletop gaming in-general. I've appeared on a few videos on the YouTube channel Looking for Mom: https://www.youtube.com/@LookingForMomTTRPG

Creating your character
We will work both on our own, and as a group during a session zero to discuss the campaign, build new heroes and establish many of our norms etc... Players will choose 1 established Marvel Hero to act as their missing mentor (Rank 3-5) They will then build an original Rank 1 character to play as, and level up for the campaign. Multiverse versions of your favorites are allowed! I will share my Demiplane Nexus account with you, so you can build your character using my purchased materials.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
-Discord: We’ll use voice chat for clear communication and immersive storytelling. (So you'll need a microphone plugged into your device. No camera necessary, but I do tend to use one to aid in communicating.) -Owlbear Rodeo: Our virtual tabletop for maps and tokens, accessible via any web browser—no downloads required. (This means our game sessions will be a mixture of "theater of the mind," and map-based combat with digital tokens.) NO NEED TO do anything before our session!
What Greg V 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ brings to the table
Greetings! I provide crystal clear audio with broadcast quality audio equipment, high definition camera to enhance my storytelling, and the improv chops to help you immerse yourself in a living world. Demiplane Nexus for character building, and access to my purchased materials, along with a Discord Channel with many friendly people looking to make new RPG friends! I never know how to answer this question! There's no need for you to purchase anything, I'll provide all needed materials. This will be either a rules primer, or pregen characters, etc... Also, I believe strongly in fostering a positive environment to maximize everyone's fun during our gaming sessions. I pride myself in clear communication and living the idea that there is no such thing as a bad question! There will be no gate-keeping in our games! If you have any questions, please reach out!

How Greg V 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ creates a safe table
This learn to play will begin with a discussion of my non-negotiables (also found in my DM Profile). Additionally, the discussion will include any important items that players want avoided in this brief campaign. The use of breaks will be used, not just as practical, "hey it's time for a quick break!" but also as way to reflect on where we've been, narratively, and to ensure players are comfortable. At the end of each game session, there will be a chance for another reflection on narrative themes and content. In general, I am always seeking player feedback to help make this the game you want to play.
