About the adventure
Shin Megami Tensei sees players struggle for survival in a world where demons have free reign, and your options are to embrace demonic allies of your own - or perish. Join together with a group of 3 to 5 players, ranging from Humans who survived the destruction of the old world, over 100 of the playable Demons themselves, or one of the Fiends who need to find their own place in existence. Fight monstrous foes, make allies with the many warring factions, and see if you can find your own Reason to bring an end to this bloody post-apocalyptic conflict. Will you bring back the old world, or create a new world in your own image?

About me
Hello everyone, I am Bolt of Chaos! Tabletop games have been my passion since I was first introduced to them as a teenager. My start as a DM began about 3 months after being introduced when our DM moved away and I decided, "Well, we can't play without one and I have some ideas." What followed was an amazing journey that led to me being the resident Perma-DM, homebrew crafter, world builder, and eventually server owner of a small gaming Discord group! I love investing my time and energy (and frequently money) into running or creating a game that all of my players can enjoy for months to come! If you want a DM that wants to listen and incorporate your ideas and goals into a game, who is patient and willing to listen and act on any critiques or desires you have, lets talk and get to rolling dice!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be done during session zero with all players sitting in for it. Starting at level 1, stats are determined based on your chosen player class and subclass: Fiends can manipulate their stat bonuses on the fly, Demons have higher than average stats for a given level, and Humans have complete control of their stat allocations as they level. Creation will be done on voice call in Discord, using the custom designed sheet creator on Roll20.
One party member is a fiend of lightning focused on spellcasting. Another is a frost fiend who uses primarily ice magic and some support spells. Finally we have a Hellhound who is a melee tank with some fire techniques.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure that you have a Discord and Roll20 account ready to go prior to game time. Players will meet up in a discord server about a week in advance to session zero.
What Bolt of Chaos brings to the table
What I bring for my players includes: a plethora of character voices, ambient music, and tactical combat. I reward creativity and ingenuity in gameplay, even if it may contradict established rules. If you can think it up, I am usually more than willing to let you give it a shot! Out of game I provide a confidential voice to talk to about any issues that may occur. If situations are caused by the game or my style of GMing, please let me know so that I can attempt to solve the problem.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew/optional rules will be discussed during session zero to allow players to decide which ones they want/don't want to have implemented.

Safety
How Bolt of Chaos creates a safe table
A large part of session zero will be dedicated to covering topics that may come up during gameplay, Lines and Veils that a player may want me to know, and absolutely anything that anyone feels needs attention. In addition, I will be available at near any time if any player has a concern. My number one priority is to ensure that the people playing my games are enjoying themselves in a safe and comfortable manner for all involved.
