Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a mic, a Discord account, a Shard Tabletop account, and optionally, a web cam. Oh, and a sense of adventure and humor!

What I provide

I use Shard Tabletop for all my 5e DMing needs! Character creation, maps, tokens, everything players need will be through Shard. Including Tales of the Valiant core books, Tales from the Waste Adventures, Prepared! Adventures, Full Kobold Press GM Subscription with their whole catalog of character options monster, adventures, magical items--the whole deal! While in game sessions, I'll be using custom maps, music, and definitely lean more toward the Rule of Cool than Rules as Written. My philosophy as a Dungeon Master is that everyone has more fun when players and their characters get to do awesome things. My inclination is to allow for creative storytelling even if it fudges the rules sometimes. After all--the point of the game is to tell a story together, collectively.

How will character creation work

Character creation will take place on Shard Tabletop, the process is simple, and I can easily run you through it. I have also created a tutorial video. Once your character is made, I can easily find a reason for your character to join the adventure! Attributes will be rolled. I love using a "Hero" option for attribute rolls. This means a roll of 2d6+6 X7. Though there are only 6 attributes, you get rolls and the lowest sum is dropped. I like this Hero option because it makes players feel more powerful and interesting at level 1. I'm all about players doing cool, memorable things every session, so I try to present obstacles for each player to show off, even at level 1.
