About the adventure
When a mysterious Nautiloid crashes outside a quiet village on Illon, a group of adventurers sets out to investigate and stumbles upon the first signs of an ancient mind flayer invasion. What begins as a local mystery soon grows into an epic journey from the kingdoms of Illon to the depths of Wildspace, where they'll wage war against the illithid empire and uncover the terrible truth behind its origins.

About me
Writer, Cool Gay Uncle and Dungeon Master (in a nerdy way, not a kinky one) I am a DM with 7 years and countless campaigns worth of experience. I have played with hundreds of players, and I hope you're the next one at my table (virtual or otherwise) I also am the Dungeon Master on the sci fi D&D podcast, The Actual Players. Available on YouTube and Spotify

Creating your character
Start at Level 1. Stats can be determined using standard array, point buy, or rolling. Homebrew is okay with DM approval. Let me know if you need help with your character sheet.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have created accounts for Roll20 and Discord and connected to the server to ensure a smooth start to the game. Players should also message me to discuss whether you want to create your character yourself or if you want me to create it.
What Tyler Lewis Wardle - Dungeon Master brings to the table
I use Roll20 for combat and maps and use Discord for voice chat. I tend to be a pretty lax DM, embracing the Rule of Cool and making the game more about being fun and creating an awesome story! I am a writer and I have a background in theatre, so I can create intricate characters and plotlines. I'm also a master worldbuilder, having spent countless hours developing various D&D worlds.

Safety
How Tyler Lewis Wardle - Dungeon Master creates a safe table
I will send each player a request for their Lines and Veils and we will discuss them before beginning (This process would be anonymous. Nobody at the table would know who set each line or veil, just that someone at the table set it).
