Grim Hollow: GRIMWAKE - Braving a Doomed fate

Creating your character

We will use both 2014 and 2024 rules for character creation at level 1. Message me any questions you have on world lore, locations, or recommendations for your ideas. If you want to send me your backstories feel free to do so, I will always read and use anything you write down about your character. If you do not have one or wish to use a pre-made character, please message me and we can choose from a couple.

Preparing for the session

-Please make a Free D&D Beyond account and character at level 1. -Please make a Free Discord account and add me as a friend. Link will be sent once you sign up. -We will use both 2014 & 2024 ruleset for 5e to create characters before we begin. And we will roll stats together for clarity. -The playable races are as follows: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Half Elf, Half Orc, Dragonborn, Gnomes and halflings. Exotic races are playable but discouraged due to the difficulty it could bring in-game for newer players. Please talk with me in order to get that set up.

What MightyDM brings to the table

I love telling stories together, my GM style is that which has a story but add yours seamlessly into it. I always do voices for the immersion and having music is a must as well. I will bend the rules if it makes sense in our minds or if something cool is trying to be achieved. My style of play is heavy roleplay and heavy combat both having their risks. I have roleplay that is engaging, having actual impact on the story. And run challenging combats that test you, to where making bad decisions can get your character killed. And though it can be a trial death of a character can be the height of a campaign if done right. Dark fantasy is my favorite style of game, with just enough difficulty to make it immersive but to feel awesome in the end.
