About me

Hi, Im Bryan Ive got 10 years of experience as a GM. With upwards of 50 different players and groups. I strive to create a dynamic story pulling from influences the players throw out there in an improv style to make it feel natural. I believe that the combat is essential but not the main stage. As such they are gripping a every dice roll shifts the tides. Above all else the story, the memories created are the most essential part of great DnD.

Character creation

Creating your character

Players are expected to have their characters prepared prior to the session. If a player needs, I can provide a GM prepared character with which I can provide help during turns. Use your own discretion when making characters. However please use integrity when designing, both potential of success and failure are integral to a fun experience.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Roll20 account and a discord account will be required with assistance rendered if needed to set up either or both.

What Bryan brings to the table

Character voices, Rules are written and tactical combat are the mainstay. Drifting from the rules can happen for interesting moments but sparingly.

Homebrew rules

Brutal Criticals Additional Weapon Keywords Potions can be consumed with a bonus action as normal, or an action for the maximum amount.

Equipment needed to play

Internet

Safety

How Bryan creates a safe table

I will implement Lines and Veils, discussed with players prior to session. If you have any you feel need to be brought up, share them freely. Player fun and comfort is a value of mine.
