I've been DMing since first edition in the 70s.  Over the last couple of years I've moved from in-person to online gaming. I play Dungeons and Dragons for fun.  To that end, I play a rules-light style with a strong focus on putting story first. I play 100% theater of the mind so I do not use a virtual table top. I do not debate rules or go searching for them in game. When in doubt, I will make a ruling to keep the game moving.

I accept players from diverse backgrounds and allow them to be the character of their choice. The players are the heroes of the story we tell and so I empower them to accomplish heroic deeds. However, heroic deeds do not come without risk. Therefore, death is a real threat and resurrection is rare and incredibly difficult to obtain. Note that if you character dies and cannot be resurrected, you will be able to create a new character at the same level to replace the character that died in the next session.

The campaign starts in Waterdeep with the story arc of "Waterdeep Dragon Heist".  Therefore, if you have played Dragon Heist before, this campaign is not for you. Characters will advance from 1st level to at least 5th level and gain significant influence in Waterdeep shaping the Dragon Heist story. If we decide to continue past that point, the party will venture beyond Waterdeep in pursuit of goals that can take them well past 12th level and to world-wide renown. Overall, the campaign will have a good balance of role playing, exploration and combat though individual sessions may focus more in one area than others.

The campaign will run weekly on Saturday nights from 6pm to no later than 10pm Central US time starting November 13.  We'll take Christmas and New Year's Day off for sure.  We may also skip weeks from time to time based on group preferences. 

The house rules, guidelines for character creation and some background can be found on the House rules and campaign background page.
