About me
Hey, I’m McClain, Disabled Army Veteran. I am a huge nerd and love to research lore. I wear a tin hat just for fun because lets face it, we all have little crazy in us. I am in my 30s and have been playing TTRPGS for several years. I started out with Warhammer 40k TTRPG, specifically Rogue Trader. Then Dark Heresy. I moved to Dungeons and Dragons 5e while I was in the Army because 40k got too expensive under Citadel. I have GMd for almost 8 years now and I have ran games ranging from Dungeons and Dragons to the Science Fiction universe of 40K to the Anime world of Pokemon with Pokemon Tabletop Adventures. I do enjoy a good game regardless of the genre. I have the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG and am looking to teach you how to play, I am also looking to run Starfinder 2e and Warhammer 40k as well once I figure out the best way to run them. So if you want a game that is based in a space setting then look no further. Shoot me a message and ask me to start it and that will get me to start it sooner. Also I will be running Neon Odyssey when it is released because that is based in Dungeons and Dragons 5e and I know that system like the back of my hand.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created on the Campaign DnD Beyond link and VTT in DnD Beyond for play. Your characters will go from level 1 to 20. Youll have access to me before session 0 to ask any questions. I love when players are deeply invested into the story of the campaign, and that involves building a backstory. You do not need a backstory but it is fun and i will be available to help you build one. Mechanical Guidelines Roll 2 sets of 4d6 dropping the lowest and rerolling 1s. All species, classes, and backgrounds are welcome. Homebrew is allowed but will be reveiwed to make sure balance is good. Will take Max HP upon level up. Starting gear is 1 uncommon and 1 common magic items.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Come to session 0 with 2 to 3 character ideas, we will discuss the plot of the campaign and how characters can be included to the story an any ideas of characters others might have. We do not need to have dedicated roles, play what you want to play. Should have a free Discord account and DnD Beyond account but I will share all I have for content with you.
What McClain brings to the table
I provide thematic experiences that bring you fully immersed into the scene. I do Character Voices and work to make a safe area to enjoy it. I provide a safe environment for all to enjoy the love for the game. Those with disabilities, LGBT+, BIPOC, etc will always be welcomed at my table.
Homebrew rules
House rules will be discussed at session zero and voted on. Rules such as potion usage as action to get full benefit and bonus action to roll the healing.

How McClain creates a safe table
Lines and veils to make sure we stick to what players are comfortable with. Along with breaks to relax in the middle of sessions and stretch. Debriefing afterwards to make sure everyone is okay and open door to talk to me about anything.
