About cosa
Hey there! My name is Constantine but you can just call me Cosa. My background starts way back when I was a wee lad and played a few sessions of 3.5 with my sister. That flamed out as she got older and it was shelved for some time after that but I would occasionally take the books out, brush the dust off and peer into a world I so desperately wanted to be a part of. Fast forward, I'm moving out to Colorado from the east coast and I suggest D&D 5e as a way to keep in touch with my friends and some of my siblings. We took off running and that campaign has been running for four years and counting now. I diversified, running an in-person campaign for my friends and co-workers. I ran both at the same time, multi-tasking content creation with the moderation of 10 players and their backstories. I wanted more, to familiarize myself more with the content so I ran Curse of Strahd for the in-person table. While a module went well, my heart is in homebrew, truly. I yearn to provide a world for my players where they can feel alive in an vibrant world. I strive to provide the lore and reading material required while offering a rich and deep background of the world as a larger whole, there for you to interact with or not! My players are the story, with everything else built around them! I'll see you at the table!

How cosa runs games
I enjoy setting my players into a position where they can collaboratively tell a story with the other players. Information and knowledge will be available to delve as far deep or shallow as one desires. In combat, expect tough but fair fights, tactical in nature. Not every situation the players encounter can be solved by committing violent acts and certain choices in that vein can have very real consequences for players.

That lasted 8 hours! It involved fighting Zariel herself and greek-fire nuking an entire warcamp.
My favorite trope is...
Powerful heroes destined to do powerful things!
Rules are...
A template that guides the game but doesn't have the final say.
cosa's ideal table
While I enjoy playing with brand new players, most of the time you will find experienced players at my table. Experience comes in many different flavors; some people excel in roleplay and enjoy taking a backseat to combat and other players vice versa. There is a time and a place for every flavor of experience in my campaigns. Expect to be actively included in every scenario, I follow a strict no player left behind mentality. I focus on building a world where there is lore and fleshed out answers to the questions you may have about it. I built a massive playground of world-building where my players may indulge in as little or as much information as possible. My only hard request is to understand the lore of where you come from. For example, if your character is a scholar of geography but doesn't know the major kingdom names, perhaps a different background is in order. The overall mood of my tables is usually easy-going, attentive and engaged. There is plenty of time to joke and goof off but there will be serious moments that deserve undivided attention. This is a symbiotic system. If you engage with me and the content I write for us, expect to see your backstory appear and the world to be relevant to your character. I have a strong bias towards collective story-telling.

I love it when a player

My table is not the place for...
Judgement, hatred, condescension, superiority complexes, perversion or bigotry. Overt racism towards other in game races as a stand-in dog-whistle will NOT be tolerated.
