Welcome to the Ravnica!

 Ravniva is a City Plane of endless possibility. What will our operators learn about the city as they go about their way. This game is going to be centered around a pod of Dimir Operators as they traverse the 10th district and learn the secrets of the world. You can be anything from a Rakdos performer, an Izzet scientist, a Golgari necromancer, a Boros legionnaire, or anything your heart desires. 

Ravnica has a lot of in-depth lore that you do not need to know to join this game. All the information you need to play will be given to you before we play or as we get started! But knowing about the world shouldn't keep you from joining either. I have changed a few things up and made the story my own. I am so excited to play with you please keep reading if you are at all interested.

About me as the Game Master!

Hello, I often go by PUN, I am 24, I use the He/They pronouns. I live in Texas with my boyfriend and two cats. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about half my life. I have been a Dungeon Master for over 6 years. I have been a professional Dungeon Master for right at a year now. I started out in 3.5 and quickly moved to 5e where I picked up DMing for my small group of friends. It has been one of my biggest passions and greatest joys being able to make an amazing story with those sitting across the table or, in more recent times, screen.

My GMing style is a bit more laid back than most I have experienced in my day. I hate the feeling of the DM being against or "beating" the players. My goal is to build a story with and around the player in my game. If you are not having fun then I am not having fun. 

I love a good roleplay heavy session. I have a couple of voices that I can do but don't make fun of me for slipping in and out of them! I am a super laid back and a "will of the players" type GM. The "rule of cool" is something I live by, I may allow something to happen just because I deem it cool. I sometimes twist or bend the rules to make a game more fun for both the players and myself. I mostly run a homebrew game but love running more sandbox modules such as Out of the Abyss.

About the Game.

 This will be a game with a happy balance of intrigue and mystery as well as good ole turf wars between guilds. Lots of amazing chances for RP and nail biting combats. I have a lot already planned out for this game and am so excited to see how new players influence the story.

All races and classes in official Wizards of the Coast published book are free game to use. I am even open to allowing UA/Homebrew as long as it has been submitted and approved by me before session 1 begins. We will be using roll20 for maps and combats, discord for voice chat, and D&Dbeyond for character sheet upkeep and rolling. There is an extension (beyond20) that allows you to roll on D&DBeyond and it port it over to roll20 and I have found it to be super effective. So that will be used as well.

Players will be starting at level 1 with an expectation of completing the campaign at level 20, after some time of course. I do milestone leveling and will progress you as the story progresses. The first 3-4 levels go by pretty quickly as I know I do not enjoy playing in those levels so I doubt many people do either. But I like having the feeling of progressing through those levels making the end game feel more fought for.

What to expect.

Payment for games is as follows:
$100 paid before the end of the month to be allowed to play in the next month of games. We only play 4 times a month allowing me to take a break on any month that has a 5th day of the week that we play on.

I know $100 a month can sound steep to play D&D but that is $25 a session for the four sessions we play a month and about $6 an hour for the four hours that we play together. I put a lot of time and energy into making these games enjoyable for you and tailored to each group. This is my full time job so I can focus on my games and only my games. I also have reviews of the players I currently have in my games to help attest to the fact that this game will indeed be worth the price tag.

Once we get everyone into the game, we will spend the week before session 1, introducing ourselves, creating characters, and going over general lore in the discord. This is our session zero. You do not pay for this intro into the world and character creation. We will work together to build backstories that tie into the world. This allows for more immersion into the story. We will discuss what type of game we are all wanting to play, where and how we wish to start, and if any of our characters have connected backstories. With this completed we can go into the first session with a running jump.
We are playing at 12pm CST until 4pm CST. We will be playing with 6 players.

We have these openings remaining:
Sunday: 1

Once we have enough people we will run a session zero. The session zero and the first actual session are both free. 

Parting words

I understand that paying money to play this game can sometimes be off putting. But when you consider the man hours I put into creating an immersive campaign story for you to play, D&Dbeyond content, as well as other purchases I make to run a great campaign,  it is almost nothing to pay for the numerous hours of enjoyment that you will receive in return. It not only assures my level of commitment but the other players as well. If you are concerned at all about my quality as a Dungeon Master I have 18 players currently paying for my games, and dozens more, that I have played with in the past, who would vouch for my ability.

I do require my players to be 18+, this allows for more mature topics to be discussed, but other than that all are welcome to apply. I can work with any skill level from the just watched CritRole (or other D&D media) and want to play to the old timers playing since before I was born. Something I have to add is, be open to constructive criticism, old players and new alike, we are playing a collaborative storytelling game together. If someone has an issue with something that happened we should be able to settle it as adults. If that is not something you think you can do I ask that you please find another game. If you can, then I will welcome you with open arms to our (virtual) table. 

I also have a contract of basic understanding to review and sign for players who decide this is the right fit for them. Which of course isn't signed until after their first session and they decide to stay with me.
