About the adventure
We will deal with all kind of horror themes in this campaign, with the most prominent being gore, blood, torture. There will also be in game racism (cliche elves -humans, dwarves - elves, etc.) and religious fanatism (inquisition) and So please be aware of that before you apply. I'd like to mention that we'll have a RPG consent checklist and safety tools. So even if there's a dark theme in general, I'll try to make sure that everybody feels safe. This game is friendly to LGBTQ+ even if its not in the already title. |Game Style This world is not book, but will grow with the players and their decisions. The setting is a established setting on my site, but the story depends on what you make of it. I want you to build the world with me and come up with an interesting narrative beyond the structure that I give as the DM. During Introduction and Session 0 we'll lay the foundation of what this game will be like. This also means that there is no predetermined ration of combat/roleplay. I would aim for 40/60 time spend on both as a reference. I will role with creative suggestion and the dice will tell us their story. |Setting The setting was originally inspired by the witcher books with the "standard fantasy races", but was opened up a bit later. We'll have mostly elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes and humans populating Etaria, but in general you can play whatever species fits. The overall tone is dark fantasy with magic as an integral part of society. Be open to the story and work with me. The DM is not the antagonist and I will support what you want to try in-game. Play your character, but be mindful. The characters should work together as a group. No lone wolfs that don't participate, because that's what their character does.

About me
Hi my name is Mat and I'm a 37 years old DM from germany who thrives in RP and collaborative storytelling. While I enjoy combat and mechanics a lot, for me the core of the game is player interaction and story. I will always advocate for a "rule of cool" approach and rather drive the story, then being a rule lawyer. As always in life there's a certain grey area here rather then black or white. I will mostly run DND and Nimble in DnDBeyond for character creation and the VTT environment. I like a simple approach for the backend, which makes it easy for everyone to jump in and just have fun. I'll help with everything from character creation to backstory and will tailor it until it fits your playstyle. I'm open to homebrew to a certain extend and I'll will have you play the character you envisioned. For Draw Steel I'll be using their own VTT Codex and have a few licenses so, new players are cared for!

Creating your character
Character creation is dear to me and I will give you all the support you want and need. PC will be powerful in the setting. We do 5d6 discard the two worst for stats and all players may take the highest rolled stat overall and replace their best with it. Sounds unbalanced? In my experience it is not. The challenge is adapted to the capability and dangerous and nerve-wrecking encounters await 😉 I provide all needed 2024 classes and subclasses plus a few 3rd party supplements. Most prominent to the setting being Grim Hollow player options. I have a lot of experience homebrewing stuff in DnDBeyond by now, so we'll make everything work! We'll start at level 3 if it's for me to decide, but the group can also agree to start at level 1.
No party formed yet, but expect character to be powerful stat-wise. We're rolling 5d6 keep the 3 best, with the option to share the highest rolled value among the party.
What to expect

What Mat brings to the table
I've been DMing for about 6 years now, also playing every once in a while. I love giving each player and their character a chance to shine. This means including and discussing backstory extensively and making it an integral part of the story. Giving situations tailored to certain characters and their proficiencies and allowing you to use your abilities (e.g. if you build to fight mages we will do this 😉). I'm in favor of rule of cool, but not of exploits. I'm open to homebrew if discussed beforehand and feasible in the context of the setting. For me trust between players and DM is important. If broken, expect to discuss the matter and also to be kicked in the worst case. What I expect I expect you to be communicating through our campaign Discord server and participate in the whole experience. I do not expect answers within hours 😄 It's fine if you take a look a few days before the game. The game will include a lot of professional map and scenes from numerous creatures such as: • Czepeku – Czepeku | TTRPG Battlemaps, Tokens & Scenes for D&D, Pathfinder & More • DarkestMaps - Darkest Maps | Posts | Patreon • Tom Cartos - Tom Cartos | Posts | Patreon • Stained Karbon Maps - Stained Karbon Maps | Startseite | Patreon • Ori the Cartographer - Ori The Cartographer — offering encounter maps for your DnD, Pathfinder and RPGs! | Patreon • Domille's Wondrous Works - Domille's Wondrous Works — Creating Phased Battle Maps for Tabletop RPGs | Patreon but also some of my own. In the campaign I will not use AI for images, texts or anything else! I'm not completely against it as the image in this ad shows (background is AI) but I don't recommend using it for your backstory.
Homebrew rules
• Potion as action full healing – as bonus action roll • Grim Crit Hit – Full damage for the dice + rolled dice and modifiers • Short rests in this dungeon take 10 min (depending on short rest character dependecies) • Shooting at prone targets from 10 feet or above does not give disadvantage • Creatures provide cover: medium creatures-> half cover Potentially a rule for a sprint action to make fleeing from combat easier/better for PC and NPCs 😉
