About me

"As you step into the candle-lit tavern, your senses come alive. The smell of alcohol soaked wood. The echo of your footfalls on the stone floor. The slight temperature change. You want nothing more than something to clear the dust of the road from your throat. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust, and as they do you see a man behind the bar, absently polishing a cup. He stops and motions you closer with his eyes." Hello. My name is Chris, but you can call me Cap. I am a DM/player with five years of experience in the 5e system. My favorite aspect of TTRPG is the collaborative story telling. While rolling tons of math rocks and battling monsters is amazing, being a part of an overall narrative that veers off into unexpected and surprising ways is pure chef's kiss. I pride myself on running a fun and welcoming table. Everyone from first timers to seasoned vets have seats with me and I am always available to my players for questions and comments. My price range per session, per player is between $15 and $20 for published modules and between $20 and $30 for complete homebrew, depending on the features you want. So, brave adventurer, if you would kindly speak to the tavern keeper. He is in desperate need of your talents.

Creating your character

We can go over creation during session 0. That being said, you may roll your stats twice and choose which set to use. If the dice are not on your side, you can default to point buy. I have an expansive compendium of species and subclass options that will be made available to you.
