Hello, I’m Carl. Tl;Dr: I’m a friendly and respectful person that is very passionate about DnD. I’m willing to play most things Tabletop and am an easy to handle, well experienced player. I also have a super secret special homebrew module I’d love to get more outside opinions on. “What country you live in.” I am currently living and studying in Germany (Frankfurt to be specific). Although I’m originally from France. “Your age.” I’m 27 years old as of April this year. “How much experience you have (new players welcome).” I have quite a lot of experience, specifically with DnD5e 2014. Just about 8 or 9 years worth. Just a one-shot of 3.5e as well. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I’ll take what I can get. I’m decently well versed in using Roll20 but much more adjusted to FoundryVTT. “If you can offer to DM or would like to try out DMing even for the first time (new starting DM’s looking for experience are welcome - help and support is offered).” Although I do have 3 years of experience as a DM, I’m not looking to organize a new campaign right now. It would be rather difficult to manage preparing the kind of elaborate sessions I ususally liked to run, now that I’ve started studying this year. HOWEVER, I am a habitual system nerd and homebrewer and just about the best co-DM one could ask for. It doesn’t take much effort for me at all to balance, brainstorm and brew with any current DM looking for another opinion or a little support. I can’t stop collecting art online (no AI stuff), I’ve made more characters using official and homebrew resources than I can count, I could whip out backstories, setting and inspired roleplay moments on a whim and I’m getting back into making my own PC art (after a loooooong hiatus). “Why I’m really here.” A little over 3 years ago now, I joined a discord VTT community through a Role20 post. It was for some pretty cheesy Fire Emblem game, that died within 4 months or so, but that’s beside the point. That campaign used a half-baked and poorly balanced homebrew module for 5e. It was a poorly formated and flawed mess full of typos and inconsistencies, but it had a branching class system that showed a lot of promise, if done correctly. One player on that discord server, someone who became a dear friend, was willing to step up to the task and somehow roped me into it. It started out as a small patch-project but by the time we fixed what was given to us, we knew we could do more. We could rebuild it. We had the technology. 8 months of hard, inspiring and fullfilling work later, we had created the “Highly Flammable Compendium” , a 200+ page treasure of a google doc, fully reinventing 64+ classes, races, feats, weapons, mounts-- really anything, short of spells and core rules of DnD5e. There was going to be a “short” trial campaign. It lasted almost 2 years on a strict weekly bases and might be the best Tabletop experience I will ever have in my life . But then real life caught up to my dear friend, who was the DM of this amazing passion project, and the campaign has been on hiatus ever since. My faith in its return is dwindling. Some of the players can’t come back because of scheduling issues. (Our group was kind of all over the world.) Many have started new campaigns with (imo worse) other systems and settings/themes that aren’t interesting to me. And the DM just doesn’t seem that interested in DnD as a whole anymore… Let me be completely transparent: I did not have enough. Studies, scheduling and social limitations be damned! This compendium is something special! I aim to find out whether it was the people, the process or the product that made it so. I hope you think I might be a good fit (and that wasnt too much ). Its always easier to find out who you vibe with, once we have a quick chat on discord. Would love to get to know new players!
