I am a greybeard GM looking to establish a series of interesting tables and campaigns.

Sessions are run on Foundry VTT and I am happy to help players new to my table learn both D&D and how the VTT works.

I focus on D&D 5e but may dabble in other systems.

## Beginner?

If you book your seat at one of my beginner friendly tables early enough I am happy to spend time helping you:

* Create a cool character
* Learn the basics or role playing and D&D specifically (it's not hard honest)
* Learn how to operate the VTT

## Experienced?

If you are a more experienced player you may still want to familiarise yourself with the VTT ahead of time. I can provide access to a trial area and, if you want, I can take you through my setup.


## My style

I take a relaxed attitude to the rulebook at my tables, I firmly believe in fun over rules lawyering. That said I strive for consistency in rulings to keep things fair (nothing worse that capricious or inconsistent rulings).

My GM style is best summed up as "benign dictator". I'm happy to debate rulings away from the table but expect players to respect rulings at the table. Feel free to challenge my ruling but I limit at table debates to two minutes, after that my ruling stands for the session. We can then debate rulings at length after the session and I will happily revise the outcomes in subesquent sessions (assuming we are in a campaign). I do this to keep the session moving while providing opportunity for players to challenge my rulings.

## My tables

Please note carefully:

**All my tables are run on Foundry VTT** and I make extensive use of modules to enhance the basic Foundry experience.

### Minimum Machine Specifications

Generally any modern (2015 or later) computer (desktop or laptop) will be fine, but...

Experience has shown that your PC will need *at least*

* A modern browser (preferably Chromium or Mozilla based)

    Tested:
    * [Brave](https://brave.com/download/) (version 1.567.119)
    * [Vivaldi](https://vivaldi.com/download/) (version 6.8.3381.46)
    * [Chrome](https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/) (version 119.0.6045.199)

    Should work:
    * [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/)
* 8Gb of RAM
* 4 core processor

It is also preferable, though not essential, if your machine has a good graphics card.
