I have a passion for character development and incorporating my players' stories into my world, sometimes making permanent changes to the world depending on the heroes' actions. My tables strive to have an air of inclusivity. To help facilitate that, I have many guides and aides that will help promote a welcoming and safe place. No matter your story, background, or who you are now, you will be welcomed and respected. I started playing DnD with my Boy Scout troop 12+ years ago. Since then, I have played in or run many systems and am always looking for a reason to meet new players and try new ideas. I use discord for voice and will use either roll20 or Foundry for character sheet management / maps and handouts. Cameras are optional, however a headset or earbuds with a decent microphone would be recommended. If any of this sounds fun, I hope to see you around the table.

When I'm not running games I'm...
Playing them! Board games, Card games, Video games, and yes, Tabletop games. I love gathering with friends to make and tell interesting stories or just talk about life while I take a bunch of commander damage!
How TheHatMaus runs games
I focus around interesting scenarios with multiple solutions. With that being said, my combat is often enjoyable for both "hit them until they're dead" and "there has to be a better way" players. I try to strive to develop your characters throughout the course of the game, as well, leaving many opportunities for roleplay not only with NPCs, but among yourselves as well.

I deal with rules issues by...
Making a ruling! There's plenty of time to look it up between sessions, but the game will continue and any error corrected between sessions.
TheHatMaus's ideal table
Featured Prompts
I think it's a red flag when players...
New players at the table either a) build a popular/famous multiclass that I know came from a youtube video or b) immediately ask for homebrew. I have a lot of vetted 3rd party content, asking for unvetted stuff as a new person at the table feels off.
