About the adventure

This game is for those who want the progression and character development of a long term campaign, without having to commit to scheduled sessions. There's no regular scheduled time. The players determine the direction of the game. Join a campaign that takes place across time! After each chapter, time passes as we see the outcome of our choices! At the end of the quest any magic items and experience carries over to the next quest you sign up for. In this futuristic space campaign players will join the members of the SS Rhapsody in their attempts to settle on planet Tyr. The dragons, however, are making it difficult.

About me
Hello! I am an experienced DM with multiple full campaigns under my belt and I fall more and more in love with D&D with every roll of the dice. I am also creator of the Horror TTRPG One of Us Dies Tonight! Available now for free. I am so thankful that thanks to this site and my community I have been able to make DMing my fulltime career! LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly! I have been playing TTRPGS for over 17 years, and tried my hand at designing my own system once or twice. I have been running a west marches campaign on SPG for over two years! I enjoy campaigns that are character driven and fully believe in the magic of the collaborative story telling. Each campaign is tailored to the players in the group, I make sure every player has an effect on the story. The best part of D&D is that even as the DM I have no idea what is going to happen. “I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else.” ~ Gary Gygax

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should be prepared to join the discord server as members of the community, with access to a good quality mic and headphones in a setting that wont disturb the other players. If you arent familiar with roll20 you should make an account and go through their tutorial. I can also sit with you prior to the session to help you get started. If you need any additional assistance getting familiar with the software let me know and I will try to help you as best as I can.
What Ricardo Garcia The Designated DM brings to the table
When players join my game they will gain access to my discord as well as the roll20 game where they will be given access to the compendiums and player options afforded there You will also recieve the Dark Matter class options to select from.

Safety
How Ricardo Garcia The Designated DM creates a safe table
Each session will have a midpoint 5-10 minute break for bio. I always have an open door policy, players can message me at any time with issues, even during session. We also use the digital red,yellow, green cards in Roll20 as safety tools. If I was to give these games a rating it would be a soft rated R- similar to an action or intense scifi film. Anything not seen in theatrical release wouldnt be seen here.
