About Mr. Helix

Greetings! I began playing Dungeons & Dragons when I was a middle-school student back in the early 1980's. For well over 40 years now I have been exploring, creating, and enjoying all of D&D's various facets. I am currently running games for 5.5e, but I have plenty of experience with the earlier editions as well, and consider myself to be a dedicated student of the game in all of its incarnations.

When I'm not running games I'm...

usually either reading or creating something! I love making art and writing stories. I suppose that is why I was drawn to D&D in the first place. :)

How Mr. Helix runs games

Ultimately my goal is to make sure that everyone at the table has an enjoyable, quality entertainment experience. As a former educator, I strive to ensure that each participant feels engaged and included. I prefer to run campaigns in my own open world homebrew setting, which allows me to tailor everything to the whims and tastes of both myself and the players at the table. Exploring the unknown through interconnected stories is what it is all about! As a table perk, my Master Tier subscription allows me to share my collection of sourcebooks and adventures with all of my players on D&D Beyond.

Rules are...

a framework. It would be impossible for the rules to cover every possible situation or combination, and that is the entire purpose of a referee in a TRPG. If the rules are unclear I have no problem making judgement calls.

Mr. Helix's ideal table

I would describe the vibe of my table as cooperative, consequential, and casual. This means: - The characters will be better off if they work together. PvP scenarios are strongly discouraged! - I will not overrule the dice gods if your character makes poor decisions! - Don't take it too seriously. Remember, it is just a game!

My table is not the place for...

real-world issues. Discussions of actual religious, political, or other divisive social topics are not allowed at the table. We are here to play a fantasy game!
