About DM Charon
Souls Ferried-1 Causes of Death Accidental Explosion-1 I am a Gamer and Storyteller at heart, even have a room in my house dedicated to gaming, with the wife's permission of course! I have regular game nights of board games or DnD with close friends. I am DM in an in person campaign and a player in a few others online. I try to take what I learn as a player and apply it to my DMing, I want players to have the best time possible. I am most familiar with DnD 5.5. but I am a fan of bringing older books or content to the table. Feel free to reach out to me if there is a specific game or custom story you wish to run. People Need Fireballing!!! Come Roll Some Dice!

I became a GM because
I love to tell epic stories while having players help shape the world in unexpected ways. It keeps me on my toes, but I am still often surprised by different characters and their goals.
My favorite books are
-The Wheel of Time -Lord of The Rings -Fourth Wing -The Odyssey
When I'm not running games I'm...
A Medical Assistant for an Orthopedic Practice. When home I am often thinking about DnD, writing about DnD or annoying people in the room with me about DnD. If im not doing those things I am spending time with my family.
How DM Charon runs games
I tend to make games around what my players are looking to do. Do they love combat? lets battle more. Do we need a detective style mystery? I will write a mystery. Voice Acting Is not required, but is encouraged. Some things that may be unique to me is I love bastions and longterm goals in games. I make custom maps for my sessions based on character's backstories, goals, wishes or if I have a cool idea! My hard line is SA of any form. All of this will be discussed at session 0.

I prep by
Keeping a binder of notes close at hand. When inspiration strikes I'm ready to write it down for when I homebrew a story or work something into a characters background. You just never know when an idea will strike!
My games focus on...
Fun, if people are not having a good time why play the game? Is there a problem player, is the story not engaging, the combat not thrilling? Let me know and I'll make changes! I am here to make sure you all have fun!
Rules are...
Meant to be guidelines for the world, but they can change overtime or by unanimous decision.....or if the player wants to do something jaw droppingly amazing....then I'll allow it.

I love it when a player
-Knows what they want to do on their turn. -Has a goal they want me to work into the story. -Surprises me with some unhinged solution I could never comprehend.
I think min/maxing...
Is perfectly fine if that is what a player is into and they can explain why their stats are so high etc.
My perfect party mix is
Anything the players actively want to play, I don't want to force roles onto people. Play who you want!
