2.) Report to us- don't fight.

Can you survive the Rakdos spring festival of MadnessABOUT THE SYSTEM
Dungeons & Dragons is the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG). It is a cooperative, storytelling game where you and other players take on the roles of different characters within a story. As you play, your character will make friends and enemies, fight monsters, discover loot, and complete quests.But while the goal of many games is to score the most points or win, the ultimate goal of D&D is to tell a story. There are dice and Basic Rules involved, and often maps and miniatures or tokens, but the tools that come into play most often are the imaginations of the players.

ABOUT YOUR GM
As a game master, I believe that tabletop role playing games are for everyone. My table is a welcoming space for players of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. I affirm and support gamers from all walks of life, including those from traditionally marginalized communities. Diversity in gaming brings fresh perspectives, richer storytelling, and a more engaging experience for all involved. I encourage players to bring their whole selves to the table, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.At my table, respect and inclusion are non-negotiable. Everyone deserves to play without fear of discrimination, harassment, or exclusion. I am committed to fostering a positive and inclusive space where creativity thrives, and all players have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the story we create together.
If you're looking for a game where you can be yourself and be part of a welcoming, diverse community, you're in the right place.
