some mature themes. About Me Hello
folks! I am Joel, and I've been passionate about Role Playing Games for
many many years now. I've worked for the video game industry in the
South East Asian region and I am a huge fan of musical theater. I've
been introduced to the world of D&D quite late (I started as player
in the 2nd quarter of 2019) and have been DMing tabletop sessions for a
close group of friends and been doing one-shots in online D&D
communities. I've been a part of the Bipolar Dice Roller Community and
have been getting great support and training in running games on Roll20. Even
though I am fairly new as a professional DM - my commitment to my
players is to be 100% engaged, focused and adaptable during our
sessions. I'm also available and very easy to approach for any questions
even outside our game sessions. Moreover, your feedback as player would
be always appreciated for my continuous improvement. Every session, I
want to have the best gaming experience with you, and with your help - I
definitely think this can be achievable! I
am looking for passionate and committed players to start this DnD
journey with me. As a DM, I more well-versed in tactical combat
encounters, and themes on exploration but I am going to give my all and
won't shy way for the occasional RP encounters. The goal of each
session, is to have a good balance and more importantly - to have a FUN
session! Session 0 would always be free for you to get a sense whether I
would be the type of DM for you. Game Details - Weekly sessions every Tuesdays at 7am EDT - Sessions last for up to 4 hours - Payment: This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $10 per session via Paypal (+5% transaction fee).

Combat/Roleplay Balance: My games feature a healthy balance between the
two key facets of Dungeons and Dragons. Murderhobo diplomacy is
discouraged, as is pacifism. - Bullying, racism, homophobia and talk of politics are not permitted during the game session. - Method of Communication: Voice Chat via Discord is compulsory to participate in the game. - LFG Game Listing: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/212340/curse-of-strahd-1st-session-free-run-by-a-professional-dm" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/212340/curse-of-strahd-1st-session-free-run-by-a-professional-dm</a> Why pay for a game? I
am often asked what the point is in paying for a game and I know that
most people who ask that question have already decided their opinion on
doing so. However, for those of you still on the fence, allow me to
offer you the benefits of a paid game: - The Game Master is financially obligated to show up and give their best. - The Players are financially obligated to show up and not let their money go to waste. - Exclusivity. The competition for spaces in free games is astronomically high, there are too many players and not enough games. -
Taking payment allows me to work on my games full time, this ensures
all the required preparation is done and constant contact is possible. -
Material costs are covered by your payment. Buying resources to use in
games is covered by the DM and access to all of Roll20's content is
available to you via Compendium Sharing. -
As an additional perk - You will also have access to all D&D
sourcebooks FOR FREE electronically through DnD Beyond as long as you
are part of my current campaign / player pool (I'm a Pro DnD Beyond
Subscriber as well) - Pro features are available. API scripts, visual effects and standard resources are all covered by the DM's subscription Character Creation Any
setting relevant official sourcebook or online resource are permitted
for use. Homebrew content must be cleared by myself personally prior to
character creation. If
you wish to play an evil character in a party constituting non-evil
characters, you must come up with a watertight reason for that character
cooperating with the party. You
can use any method to attain your stats. When rolling you must do it
where the rest of the group can see it. Rerolls are only permitted if
your stats average 11 or lower (rounded down) or you highest stat is a
14 or lower. You only get to reroll once, you may then choose which of
the two sets of rolls you wish to use or you can choose one of the other
methods for attaining stats. Backstory:
Having a backstory is not mandatory, but it is definitely encouraged!
If you wish to write one I will do my best to incorporate it into the
main story (backstories intrinsically linked to the flavour of the
campaign are gold dust!). Application Process Please provide me with the following information, either in the game discussion below or via a personal message.
