About me
I've been playing various forms of role-playing games formally for more than 2 decades, including online, written, table top, and more, while informally, I've been playing and performing roles all my life. I love creating and sharing stories, all the more so when the players truly become part of the world by surprising me with their choices. Professionally, I have a background in history and am a recently-recovering educator, and I bring both to the gaming table by helping players learn the game and developing unique and non-standard worlds and stories while using a teach-as-we-go method for new players.

Creating your character
Players will be able to discuss and consider their character concepts prior to Session 0, where we will finalize the characters and team. Players will be able to build their characters with classes, subclasses, backgrounds, feats, and species from the following resources: - 5.5e (2024) Player's Handbook - Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn - Ravenloft: The Horror Within - Arcana Unleashed* - Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse** - Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos** Spells are ONLY permitted from the 2024 Player's Handbook and Eberron books; spells from other sources may be acquired in game through the university study mechanics. * Arcana Unleashed will be available after Sept. 1, 2026. Players may work with the DM if there are preview features they are interested in. ** 5e sources may need to be modified to fit 5.5e rules. Players should work with the DM if they are interested in species, backgrounds, or feats in these sources.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should join the Discord as soon as possible to ensure they are prepared to play. All communication and information about the game will be sent through Discord.
What Delphi brings to the table
I will bring everything else, including a great story and unique setting for our adventure! Be ready for a great time.
Homebrew rules
🍺 Crunchy Crits - Always get maximum base damage for a critical hit plus a single die roll (starts at level 3) 🍺 Agency while downed - If downed, players may crawl up to 5 feet (if not restrained), call out to allies, and roleplay 🍺 5/10 Diagonal Movement - The first diagonal move on a square grid is 5 feet, the second is 10 🍺 Dazed not Stunned - Instead of being stunned, which is never fun, a creature is now Dazed, which allows them to use 1 of a movement, action, or bonus action on their turn. Additionally, we may use custom mechanics for certain NPCs, monsters, and scenes. Some spells have been modified, and we will discuss the University mechanics during session 0 and throughout the game.
