About the adventure
The Sunless Citadel is a D&D 3e adventure from 2000 that will be converted to Nimble. I'll help everyone learn Nimble, or even RPGs if that's where you are starting from. This will be your basic fantasy adventure. Mostly your basic fantasy races, though there is room to talk with me to try something else. We'll start at level 1 and explore.

About me
Hail and Well Met! (That's the official greeting of the Forgotten Realms) I've been playing D&D since 1987. I've been DMing just as long, first with family and then friends. Started just before 2nd edition with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and have continued playing up through D&D 5.5e. I run mostly published adventures, but I enjoy adapting them for my players and seeing how far we can stretch them while still pursuing the main quest. My GM Style is probably more Rule of Cool than Rules as Written. I like to make sure characters can be heroic and players feel good about playing. I do not allow evil characters, because I've seen too many players use that as an excuse to be jerks and I don't want that at my table. I really focus on each player so you don't have to worry about being talked over or talked down to. I keep my games PG-13 with cut scene romances and relationships. It's a digital game not a dating app. I have always been in mixed-sex groups and I believe D&D and other RPGs should be a safe space for players and characters. I'm a strong ally for marginalized humans, and I'm always working to be better so I can make those around me better. You should feel safe and heard when playing a game, and I want to know right away if you feel differently. LGBTQIA+ friendly. BIPOC friendly.

Creating your character
Character Creation will happen before the first session through Discord with me. I'll help you come up with a concept and put that idea to paper for the Nimble system. Level 1.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is a Discord account and a microphone. Camera is preferred. Foundry runs in your browser, I recommend Chrome. That's really all you need.
What Adam brings to the table
Automation mods for Foundry VTT. Music & sound effects through Kenku FM. Custom Tokens using HeroForge. Probably a few goofy voices.

How Adam creates a safe table
There will be session 0 questions in the Discord. Anyone can announce an X, or just say stop, and we'll take a break, regroup and move on. And I will definitely be checking in on everyone after a session.
