About the adventure
~This game has a Trial period, the first 4 sessions will be at $5 so you can see if you mesh with me as a DM and the other players, Then it rises to my standard rate of $25 if you wish to continue.~ Corpse Bearer. That is the name of those who delve into the Great Dungeon to bring back those who have fallen. If that party can afford resurrection magic, they can reunite and try their delve again. For most though, a Corpse Bearer is the only way they can have a body to bury. In a place where most look upon you as a scavenger, plague bringer, or an ill omen, you still keep at it. If you don't, then who will? -------------------------------------------------------------------- In this game you will dungeon run for all the normal reasons, but first and foremost, to bring someone's fallen loved one home. As you level up and grow your strength, you may begin to shift others opinions about you, venture to more dangerous locales to ply your trade, and maybe get in a little adventuring.

About me
Hi, my name is Ergo , I'm a 33-year-old Game master looking to make an actual career in this community. My Creative background began in childhood getting lost in book after book and wanting to have an impact on the world and help the protagonists in their journey. I started playing ttrpg's in 2015 and of course, became the forever GM because no one else wanted to do it. Thus began the creation of my own worlds and the characters that fill them. I love to make games that have heavy player involvement. Want a thieves guild in the city? Done. Wizards tower in the desert? Done. Space station taken over by androids? Already have a name for it. Narrative matters the most to me but boy do I love some crunchy combat.

Creating your character
We will have a Session 0 in which we make characters together to better tie you and the other players to the world and each other. This will count as the first of the 4 Trial period sessions. If you join later we will have the Onboarding session 0 and will pay the full price of $25 but will have 4 sessions at the Trial cost of $5 (This is due to too many people spending 2 hours of my time for session 0 and then pulling no shows so I can at least get something for my time) We will use Tasha's rules for racial stat allocation if you don't choose one of the races changed new multiverse book. Stats will be the array or rolled, but if you roll you will have to abide by the roll unless it's a dumpster fire (Multiple negatives and a highest of 14) You can roll for HP or take the average but will have to abide by the roll. We will be making a level 3 character in session 0. No multiclassing.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic, a Discord account, a Roll20 account, and headphones as I use music and other audio aids.
What Ergo brings to the table
I bring most player content in the roll20 compendium, 10 years of experience GM'ing, and I bring a safe and inclusive space to play and have fun.

How Ergo creates a safe table
We will have an onboarding session 0 whether you start with the group or join later, during which we will go over lines and veils as well as anything else we need to make sure you feel the table is a safe space to play in.
