About the adventure
Norse Gods! Mindflayers! Frogs! Horrors beyond comprehension! Dragons! Dungeons, even! Ahoy! Welcome to a roleplay-focused, player driven legendary adventure. Everyone will be welcome at this table. We'll be starting at level 10 using milestone leveling, and will be running a session 0 to build characters and fit them into the homebrewed world. Speaking of which... 🌋⚔️☠️🐉 Bent on subjugation, a powerful alliance of monstrous creatures is wiping out your homeland's fledgling intercontinental empire. When the great dragons descended from the mountains and offered their aid against this overwhelming enemy, only you could be trusted in guarding the gift they bestowed. And guard it you must... Aboard the longship Dragonsbreath, you carry hope - the soul of a Dragon, kept in a crystal and pledged to your allegiance. Well-equipped with powerful technology and psionics, the Oathbound Union has quickly overwhelmed the traditional magicks at your disposal. Shipwrecked and marooned on the Eternal Island, you begin a guerilla-war against the Oathbound Union. Fight for survival against the fanatical onslaught as you race to uncover the mysteries of the Island! May Odin watch over your voyage...

About me
Ahoy! I'm a professional DM and voice actor who's been playing for 11 years and running games for 9. At my table, you'll find games with an emphasis on roleplaying and fun, but that doesn't mean leaving your combat brain at the door either. For a taste of my standard British accent narration, check the Youtube link to my voice reel below. I consider myself a capable teacher of the game, having introduced dozens of new people to it over the years. To facilitate this, every adventure is tailored for the players - before each campaign begins, we'll talk through the kind of story you'd like to tell together, and how that squares with what I've got prepared. I approach D&D as a collaborative storytelling exercise, so while I have an extensive homebrewed world and adventures ready, every player has the chance to dictate the nature of the world they're playing in. As for the world itself, if you like pirates, Greek gods, elements of the Forgotten Realms cosmology, and a tone shooting for somewhere between Tolkien and Pratchett, I'm the Dungeon Master for you!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
You are part of a team of seasoned warriors, guarding the last hope for the free peoples of Kalmar. Expert spies, decorated soldiers, dragonriders, and those who bear the favour (or ire) of the Norse gods could all find themselves involved in this adventure. We'll be starting at Level 10, using roll4drop1 stats and milestone leveling. All WOTC official expansions are fine with the following exceptions, almost all for lore reasons: 🌋No Gith or Giff ⚔️No Guns and Gunpowder (Artificers are fine if flavoured away from this) 🌋Most reasonable homebrew is fine, but please run it by me first before hinging your entire character on it. We will also be running a session 0 to go further into character creation and help anyone who needs it to get their head around the numbers.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
🌋Before session 0, all you need is a webcam, a mic, and a discord account, and somewhere to create your character - a paper sheet, d&d beyond, up to you. ⚔️Before session 1, you'll need a roll20 account, an image for your character token, and some understanding of at least the rules that pertain directly to your character (their race, class and background for example). 🌋Feel free to message me with any questions :)
What Benjamin brings to the table
⚔️I encourage in-character roleplaying, player choice, and creative choices. Expect an engaging story that you have a say in - give me a backstory with a couple of colourful characters in it, and they'll more than likely crop up somewhere in the adventure. 🌋I run the game on Discord for speaking and Roll20 for combat. ⚔️ I make liberal use of in-character dialogue and encourage players to do the same. I also encourage players to argue their cases for things like unorthodox skill checks, however ask that they respect my final ruling. 🌋I use background music for those who want it, although one of the reasons I run games on discord is that it can be turned down or off individually. I can supply pdfs of all core rulebooks and some snazzy custom character sheets. ⚔️ And, finally, I'm a professional voice actor, so expect high-quality narration in terms of both content and sound quality - check my DM profile's Youtube link for some sample narration!

How Benjamin creates a safe table
Session 0 will involve character creation, and a discussion of any triggers players might have for one's own character and the game in general. The game itself will largely be story driven, but that doesn't mean you won't have think tactically and rely on your companions when you do get into combat. Fun is what we're all here for, and sometimes nothing is more fun than a well-applied fireball.
