About me
Hey there! I'm Dandy and I've been a DM for over a decade now, exploring all sorts of systems. At the moment, I'm specializing in Dungeons and Dragons 5e and World of Darkness. I love making lore-heavy games with intensive and deep world-building, deep roleplays and opportunities for character growth, interaction and development. I am a transmasculine freelance artist and illustrator as well, having many years of experience in both artwork and character design and creation. With both my love of artwork and storytelling, being a dungeon master has become a blessing on my life. It's given me so many amazing opportunities and experiences to meet many people from so many different walks of life perspectives. Being able to share my ideas, worlds, and experiences with people is my pride and joy. I'm looking forward to creating a story with you, too! 🎨 I wish to empower creativity! The usage of artificially generated artwork and writing is strictly prohibited at my tables! All of my games are AI free!

Creating your character
Characters are created individually for the campaign on D&D BEYOND. I will work with all concepts to integrate them into the world and story. I will work with players individually in the creation of their characters and help them if needed so they can be approved. For this campaign, you will be level three.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please read all of the rules and read the lore and information listed on the Session Zero. It's required that you have a working microphone, and computer. We will be using Foundry hosted from Sqyre. If you need assistance in any of this, I am more than happy to help.
What Dandy brings to the table
I offer commission services to players if they wish their characters to be drawn. I provide artwork and assets, the digital books and links and all assistance needed to learn the game, and to help ease you into the game and setting.

How Dandy creates a safe table
We will go over the Session Zero, table rules and expectations at the beginning of the campaign, and at the end of every session I'll offer player feedback and request DM feedback as well. I will do my best so that we will all be on the same page, and remain comfortable and transparent. This campaign will be dark and cover various uncomfortable topics. Please if you're interested in attending this campaign, understand that by joining this campaign, you consent in being mature with these topics, and to handle them in character and to also understand that they are being handled delicately as fictional content. Riding off of this, you must understand that the actions and beliefs of characters are not congruent to the beliefs and actions of the players who control them.
