About the adventure
Beginner friendly Pendragon campaign. Fun table, welcoming to all who want to quest as Knights and Dames in 5th Century Britain! Following Uther's fall, the land is without a king and falls into squabbling and chaos. The Saxons are a mounting threat and feudal lords vye for supremacy. With all this going on, there arises a new mystery, a forest is rapidly spreading and engulfing small towns... A small group of knights quest to discover the power behind this odd phenomenon... Will they find a new lord or king seeking their lords' fealty? Or will they challenge this new threat? Whatever happens there will be glory aplenty to be earned (if the Knights can get to it before the the Saxons, Celts, Picts and Knights from other lords!)

About me
Long time gamer and GM for almost as long: very early on in my gaming career I got the bug for writing adventures and setting up scenarios to surprise and entertain a group. I dabbled in drama and other creative outlets over the years but the one constant has been running games; I get more of a kick out of the players' enjoyment of a good session (be it dramatic, tense, comedic, frantic or just political) than I do out of any other creative outlet I ever found! I live in Ireland (UTC / GMT) but can be flexible around scheduling. I don't have a strong accent and (although I am inclined to do some "character voices") I focus on a clear storytelling voice rather than any kind of serious voice acting. It is super important to me that the group is inclusive and welcoming to all. Everyone is entitled to an opportunity to enjoy this hobby in a supportive and inclusive environment. Please be aware of your biases and check them at the door. The group may, as part of the story, face challenges and address social norms / biases etc in a respectful way but as GM I reserve the right to draw a red line where I believe this may cause undue discomfort to other players. Real world prejudice will not be accepted in any group hosted by me. In terms of experience with settings and systems: I have spent many years on and off as a DM for D&D (then AD&D, now D&D again) but over time I also drifted more into gothic and storytelling games (World of Darkness), and science fantasy (Shadowrun / Cyberpunk) and more space faring sci-fi (Traveller and Star Wars). Feel free to reach out if you have a group / would like to start a group and are looking for a GM - I'm open to run pretty much anything I have experience with (non-exhaustive list below, I own the rules to most of those systems in hard copy or digital and if I don't own a copy I'll pick them up). Let's have some fun!!

How WinterGuy creates a safe table
This is a campaign with a mix of tension and action. I'm planing for quite an RP heavy style. I will be making sure the pace fits the style of the players with a view to facilitating all experience levels. My style is relaxed and open with a focus on **safe fun** at the table allowing everyone to enjoy the adventure. My game table is a safe place for everyone and I will take any measures necessary to assure that. I like deep stories and challenging subject matter and Pendragon can be an exciting setting for that. I always ensure that we are aligned on boundaries up front (lines and veils defined in advance, session zero discussions to gauge the players' comfort zones etc) and I fully support breaks and "stops" at any time to assure players' safety and enjoyment. For me, character and roleplay should come before system. The rules should be used as a scaffold for the story and should give a framework to support the fun - they should not become the focal point of the adventure. I am a strong believer that we are all at the table to tell a story together and the role of the GM is to guide and facilitate the story of the characters with an underlying plot. Everyone should have their chance to shine and to collaborate in getting us all laughing or crying but at the same time everyone should be comfortable in taking a back seat occasionally to enjoy someone else's arc.
