About Murphy.D

Hey. My name is Donnell Murphy and I'm a new GM to D&D. Though I may be new to the platform I have years of experience with Creating one shots, Designing Maps, Creating compelling character backstories, etc and I want to take my next steps in bringing that experience to the community. With the lack of GMs I get how challenging it can be to find the "GM for you" and with wanting to be a Gm I understand the fear of messing up or the stress of a challenging player. So I decided to offer a Discord server where beginners can meet, hang out, and enjoy the game of D&D while honing their skills at the same time. If you want to be a GM great! join one of my games and experience how a simple module is ran and if you have questions chat with me one on one or talk to your fellow GMs in the server. If your new to D&D and just want to play awesome! Join in on an adventure that can expose you to other beginners and form a hero party of a life time. The long and short of it is. I want to make a safe haven for people getting into D&D and have a place where they can grown and love the game so many of us do without the toxic environment. That being said I am geared towards new D&D players and GMs but if you're a seasoned player you're welcome too all are welcome! I really look forward to having you at the virtual table

How Murphy.D runs games

I enjoy all three pillars personally but that doesn't mean I don't have a favorite. Role-Playing is the one closest to my heart. Having a character or experience you'll remember for years to come is a win for me.

Murphy.D's ideal table

So my tables are firstly safe for all players. the kinds of players that fit at my tables are ones who lean into the world and their characters. the general vibe of the table is casual I'd say. It gets serious sometimes but everyone is ready to throw a joke or two in where they can.

I think metagaming...

is a style of play.

I think min/maxing...

is ok if that's your thing but don't push it on other players

My table is not the place for...

Overly mature content and toxic behavior.
