About the adventure
Fear infects the Pantheon of Theros. Many worshipers share this fear yet none know its origin. Such unrestrained fear spells doom because emotion alters reality in Theros. Before was a time of peace. Now is the time of monsters. "The Doomwake Odyssey" begins with characters being summoned to Theros from across the multiverse. The first arc deals with threats to the Nessian Wood. Unfolding events will lead players out of the woods and into the heart of Theros. Characters will battle mythical beings, speak with oracles and contend with divine forces as strive to save Theros. Players should expect around 40% Combat, 30% Roleplay and 30% Exploration. Jason Aaron's "The Saga of Gorr the God Butcher" is a major inspiration for this campaign. I want to see how this story plays out from a non-divine perspective.

About me
Welcome! My name is Mae and I love creating memorable tabletop experiences. D&D was love at first sight for me. I watched a single episode of a stream and by the end of the week I had a DMG. Another week later and I was attacking my friends' characters with goblins as they tried to take some trade goods to Phandalin. That adventure and many more since then have helped me to learn about myself, support myself and follow my dreams. It brings me great joy to inspire creativity in others as our journeys cross paths above the board. Many of the aspects I now know about myself were learned through gaming. The freedom my initial DM provided allowed me to explore my identity. I embraced my queerness, gained confidence in my storytelling skills, came to understand the importance of safe spaces in fostering inner growth, and discovered that I love teamwork so long as proper boundaries are communicated. It is my goal to create a safe table so players can enjoy the very freedom that helped me to grow so much.

How Mae creates a safe table
Below is a link to my Lines and Veils document. I also have a player safety survey linked in the Discord. The survey is anonymous. Filling it out helps me to understand the wants and needs of the players in my games. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NHxZU-TXisBZlOIiLJM3BIkR3zA6q-AUwUlNoT0ChQo/edit?usp=sharing
