About the adventure
An unusual mist rolls into your town. For three days, there's no sun, no moon, no sky beyond a lingering fog. When the fog clears, everything is different. The roads leading out of town suddenly stop. Beyond them are untamed lands populated with bizarre creatures right out of mythology. You are a modern day person, thrust into the fantasy worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. Can you survive in an unfamiliar land of monsters, gods and magic? And how will the locals respond to your incursion into their reality?

About me
> Want to explore a rich, vivid and responsive world? > Enjoy fast, dynamic, interesting combat? > Want the power to tell your character's story your way, going off the railroads to follow whatever goals you wish? > Looking for a gameplay experience where every NPC has a name, goals and a story of their own? My philosophy is about fast combat, creative play and player freedom. At my table, combat and roleplaying are smooth, dangerous, flexible and fun.

Creating your character
You will play as a modern human from Earth, choosing a modern-themed subclass for any of the PHB classes. As for who that human is, that's up to you. Are you yourself or someone else? How will you respond to the world changing around you?

What William brings to the table
I'll provide a virtual tabletop (VTT), including digital player sheets, professional player resources and custom quality battlemaps. This includes the Out of the Abyss module published by Wizards of the Coast, plus official 5e expansions like Xanathar's Guide, Van Richten's Guide, Volo's Guide and plenty more. I also provide the result of dozens of hours of work creating unique maps, tokens, NPCs, monsters and mechanics. Every major NPC has a personality, including plans, desires and fears. Learning these isn't necessary but is often helpful.
Homebrew rules
> Drinking a potion is a bonus action > An optional limitbreak system - by pushing yourself to new heights, your attacks and spells become more powerful yet more volatile for a short while > Magic is slightly unstable in some places in and around Silverpoint. Casting a spell has a small chance of some volatility.
