About me:
I've been playing tabletop RPGs since D&D's Basic and Expert boxed sets debuted in my youth. I played countless hours of AD&D in the 1980s (amongst many other TTRPGs from my local games shop.) I was hooked from the moment my character Cadwin Grimhilt heroically died in a Keep on the Borderlands during a defiant last stand with a vicious troll, allowing the rest of our party to survive to fight another day.

I eagerly consume escapist fantasy fiction from Tolkein, George R.R. Martin, R.A. Salvatore, Weiss & Hickman, Robert Jordan, Tad Williams, Terry Brooks, Fritz Leiber, and others. I've enjoyed MMOs since EverQuest and explored most CRPGs from Baldur's Gate to Skyrim.

I returned to 5e and have been thoroughly enjoying the online format for high adventure fun and collaborative storytelling.

I bring:
My experience, imagination, and passion for this hobby.  Vivid descriptions of fantastic settings and heroic action thrusting you into the midst of our shared tale.

Roll20 Pro account including encounter maps, custom player tokens, dynamic lighting, soundscape/audio ambiance, and prepared NPCs.
Hardcopy and D&D Beyond Master Tier digital versions of: Player's Handbook; DMs Guide; Monster Manual; Xanathar's, Volo's, Tasha's, Fizban's, & Mordenkainen's Tome.
Published adventures and campaign settings: Phandelver; Dragon of Icespire; Rime; Odyssey of the Dragonlords; Wildemount; Dungeon of Mad Mage; and custom homebrew via WorldAnvil.

DM Style:
I enjoy D&D as shared imaginative storytelling. Infinite possibility constrained only by player imagination and given structure through dice and rules (though I treat rules more as guidelines and prioritize immersion, fun, and fiction so we can have a fast moving epic adventure focused on role-playing and heroic combat.)

I do my best to adapt the story to the wishes of the players, incorporating their unique backstories, including something for all playstyles and ensuring an opportunity for each player to shine. My role models include Matt Mercer (storytelling, role-playing), Matt Colville (pacing, strategic combat), and Sly Flourish (scenario design/modification and game preparation).

My games are beginner friendly. I'm happy to welcome players new to this fantastic hobby by guiding you through character creation and the online format.
Roleplaying is strongly encouraged - not that you have to speak in elaborate accents, more that you inhabit your character in the world and make decisions as they would under the given circumstances.

Game Balance:
Combat: Medium-High
Role-play & Exploration: Medium
Puzzles: Light

I'm interested are the slots still open? I'm 22 and have never played in a prewritten campaign, I'm new to playing online in general but I have played in homebrew games before.

I think this sounds very interesting and I'd love to join, I have loads of experience at this point, and am eager to join a campaign. Karebuki#8389

Somewhat experienced player here. Been playing off and on for about 2 years. This looks amazing! And Sundays are perfect for my schedule.

Hi there!

I have been meaning to find a game for a while now, and this sounds really promising. I cannot promise availability every Sunday at the hours stipulated, since i have a quite variable timetable which sometimes I myself am not able to fully predict. If that's okay with you, I do have aready planned a character at level 1, and can fairly easily adapt it to any level of your choice.

As for myself as a player, I have been DM and player for around 5 years now, and I enjoy roleplay and combat alike. I would say I'm quite intermediate-advanced, although I am most certainly not an expert and still have much to learn.

Thanks in advance, I'm hoping to hear from you!

Unfortunately, the table (and alternates) have filled.  Feel free to join the Discord server, link posted above, which is where future offerings, one-shots, seat filler needs, etc will be posted.  Best wishes on your hunt for a game!
