About Cassien

Greeting adventurers, Come with me on an epic tale of rich storytelling experience that is immersive featuring 4k animated maps, dynamic background music to accompany the roller coaster of emotions you will experience in my games, and strategic combat encounters that will test your mettle. I strive to ensure every session is a mix of excitement, mystery, and roleplaying player driven choices. To challenge my players I run intense combat and dynamic scenes featuring many homebrewed monsters and scenarios. I run an open and inclusive table using Foundry VTT. At my table players will feel at ease and are here for an epic escape away from the real world. Once the session starts after the recap we will leave all politics and IRL troubles at the door of the hypothetical dungeon. I utilize a green, yellow, and red flag principle for any triggers that may come up within my games and if something is triggering you within my session you can simple message me via discord and we will redirect to avoid and detailed description going forward. I have been playing TTRPGs with a heavy focus on Dungeons & Dragons for the past 18 years. Most of my time I have been a player but in recent times I have grown tired of sessions not feeling epic and players steamrolling campaigns, so I have set out to change that within my own games. So grab your dice, ready your spells, and prepare for adventure—because in my campaigns, the only limit is your imagination!

How Cassien runs games

I run intense games that will challenge my players through high tier combat featuring many homebrewed monsters, items, class features, spells, and whatever else you can think of as we work together to tell our story. I DM with an emphasis on storytelling and prefer for your characters to come with a well thought out backstory that we can incorporate into the campaign. I use Foundry VTT and feature high resolution usually animated maps so at times this can be taxing on hardware for less advanced setups. As for level ups I prefer a milestone progression system, and just because we may navigate a party members character arc doesn't mean there won't be that sweet juicy level up at the end of it! I use the rules as a guidebook and not as law, I have several house rules that may alter the state of SRD Dungeons and Dragons, usually for the good of the player. Players will generally feel much more powerful at my table vs other tables, but that doesn't mean that the enemies will be pushovers either. The encounters and skill checks will be much more taxing than what some players may be used to. So if you would like to put your trust in me let's set off to tell this epic story together!

Cassien's ideal table

I prefer a table with a little bit of experience not that a newcomer can't be trained I just run tough and challenging encounters where I homebrew most of the enemies and I stand out different that most standard GMs
