About me

I have been Dungeon master since the red box...I have played, D&D basics, 2nd edition, 3rd edition, Pathfinder...Sorry i skiped the 4th edition... I am new to Online play, but more than ready. I have invested more than 500 hrs in mastering Foudry VTT. I need players to get on board for a quite a ride. So far, i have completed 3 campains using Foundry vtt. I want my D&D to be challenging, entertaining and adult. I also insist on providing storytelling that is faithful, consistent with lore, rules, and world that came from the minds of multiples creators. Forgotten Realm is my playground, i am willing to play any campaign in this world. My DMing style : i love both great combat and roleplay. I think fantasy is about swords clashing and great villains. Were now being inspired by Game of throne more than Lord of The Ring. I take pride in organizing exciting encounters, using terrain features, and lighting. But also try to provide player with opportunities to use the full range of their character skills. I think the 5th edition shines because of the action system, and the magic mechanics which is efficient expansive...simply better. Finally, i also have been affected by the Mercer effect: I don’t claim getting close to his skill level, no one can, but he certainly is my inspiration. I have capacity to bring theatrical performance, if you are looking for more than just dungeon crawl. I know some of you of read «experienced DM» with scepticism, but i can guarantee you...you will feel to full extent of it. I am searching players for campains and on shots. I think you should consider me seriously to become your chosen DM! ______________________________________________________________________ Je suis DM depuis la boîte rouge...j'ai été DM à D&D Basic, 2e édition, 3e édition, Pathfinder... Je recrute des joueurs du Québec ou de la francophonie pour des parties en Français. Dans un monde idéal, réunissez des groupes d'amis et contactez-moi pour faire des sessions de jeu privées. J'ai jusqu'ici complété 3 campagnes de Donjon&dragon (sessions publques), toutes en français, en utilisant le tabletop foundry VTT. Cette plateforme est simplement la meilleure et la plus puissante pour Donjon&dragon. Son et images tout y est. Je passe énormément de temps à préparer mes sessions de jeu. (vous en avez pour votre argent...) Commençons par D&D, mais on pourrait s'aventurer dans l'Univers de Lovecraft et possiblement les Vampires... Joueurs francophones, contactez-moi !

Safety

How Hugo creates a safe table

Expect a classic fantasy D&D2024 adventure but...This adventure is very much inspired by the political tensions between Canada and the United States...Places, names and public personalities will be changed but are easily recognized. The story has strong and resolute bias: Canadians are the heroes and USA is the evil foreign Nation. Expect action, diplomacy, violence, treason. To be clear, this one-shot throws many derivative/offensive jokes about the current USA administration. If you truly are satisfied of Trump's policies, THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS -No criticizing other players actions. Suggestion can be made if the active player has clearly requested help. -No action of any sort against another player. No Skill use, no attacks, no scheming. Likewise, no creative passive-aggression against players. -Canadians Heroes are Good and righteous . Cooperative play is mandatory. -No violent, homophobic, sexist, racists comments will be allowed.
