About me

Well met, Adventurers; My name is Tostig (pronounced "toasty"), and I invite you to embark on a journey through a living, breathing homebrew world—a canvas awaiting our collective touch. Since the late '70s, I've journeyed through the realms of D&D, weaving tales of heroism, intrigue, and friendship. Our saga begins with a session 0, an essential prologue where we, as collaborators, will shape the very heart of our adventure. This session is our opportunity to discuss safety tools, the balance of role-play and combat, and the pivotal question of player-character mortality. Here, we'll employ Knife Theory in crafting backstories, enriching our characters with depth and ties to the world—and to each other. We will navigate our tales using FoundryVTT for our virtual tabletop and DnDBeyond for character tracking, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience. This initial gathering is where we lay the groundwork for a game that mirrors our collective vision, rooted in inclusivity, empathy, and mutual respect. Join me in session 0, where we'll forge our path forward, setting the stage for a campaign where every character's backstory intertwines with the threads of our world's fate. Let's build this story together, one where every voice is heard and every hero's journey is legendary.

GM Style

As your DM, my approach is grounded in the belief that the most memorable tales are born from collaboration. This journey begins with a crucial session 0, where we come together to shape the adventure that lies ahead. It's here that we'll delve into Knife Theory, using it as a tool to craft rich, interconnected backstories that enhance the depth of our narrative and characters. I don't believe in party roles; play what you want! My job is to find a way to balance the game for the party composition. Session 0 is not just about character creation; it's a forum for discussing our game's tone, setting expectations, and ensuring a shared understanding of the importance of safety and consent in our storytelling. We'll also address the topic of player-character death, making sure we're all comfortable with the stakes of our adventure. Using FoundryVTT for our virtual tabletop and DnDBeyond for character management, we ensure a smooth and immersive gaming experience. This session sets the stage for a campaign that respects player agency, embraces character-driven storytelling, and builds a world that's as dynamic as the heroes who inhabit it. Embrace this opportunity to contribute to our world's lore, to define the bonds and rivalries that will shape our story. If you're looking for a game where your character's past and choices significantly impact the world, where safety and respect are paramount, and where every session is a step into the unknown, let's start this journey together—with session 0 paving the way.
