About the adventure
Learn the basics of Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition and role playing games in general. Pick a pre-made character to use in a short adventure and see how the game works. The setting is a non-specific fantasy world so you don't need to know any information about it ahead of time. Instead you can just enjoy a limited scope and story. We will go over the basic rules at the beginning of and during the session. As this will be about learning you do not need to know anything ahead of time. Additionally, we can discuss role-playing and other related concepts if you're unfamiliar. Safety tools and how they are used will also be discussed.

About me
I love TTRPGs and the idea of supporting myself via that love would be a dream come true. As a game-runner I have learned how to adapt and customize my games, as well as create connections and plot lines for my players. From one-shots to ongoing campaigns, I'm looking forward to being able to run great games for the people of the internet.

Creating your character
Bernard will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: a Discord account; physical or digital dice; a computer with internet connection; a microphone; and either speakers, headphones, or earbuds.
What Bernard brings to the table
For my games, I generally stick to the established rules but on occasion the "Rule of Cool" will take over. My game-running style could be described as "atmospheric" as I like to help my players feel immersed. Through the use of colorful descriptions, character voices, music tracks, and soundboards, I hope to bring the game world to life. Combat uses a virtual tabletop streamed from my computer to give you a visual representation for tactical play and pulling off your plans (no purchases or accounts necessary).

Safety
How Bernard creates a safe table
Players will be sent a link to use a digital form of the Deck of Player Safety through the website Demiplane. This will be used to privately let me know anything that they have a significant issue with regarding in-game content. Anything that they wish their fellow players to be made aware of can be public, otherwise I will not divulge said information and simply use it to cater the appropriate experience. Particular content can be brought up ahead of time if necessary. Issues during games can be brought up and if necessary changed during game or we can pause to discuss.
