Dine'n'Dungeon
GM
Anthony Paul is a storyteller, genre fiction writer, and a Game Master of six years. Through countless online and in-person games, he has striven to build communities through a commitment to imagination and teamwork.
Genre Fiction (Science Fiction/Fantasy) is a craft he believes is capable of allowing people to explore the real world through fantastical parallels and informed character decisions. Every player can bring their unique perspective of the world into the game, leading into incredible character decisions and new narrative possibilities.
Expect games with Anthony to include mixes of roleplay, combat, exploration, and intrigue; he is willing to bend the rules of a system if it means having impactful, interesting (and hilarious!) game moments.

Summary
Dine'n'Dungeon is a beginner-friendly, high-risk campaign set within the confines of a ruthless dungeon ecosystem. Players will not only have to fight dangerous monsters; they'll have to cook them. Inspired by Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) and Monster Hunter Wilds, adventurers must embrace their inner gourmands and collaborate to cobble together delicious meals. Cockatrice foue grois, Minotaur steaks, and other delicious combinations may be the only way to survive another night in the Gloaming Depths.
Character Creation
Players will start at level 1 and level quickly throughout the campaign up to level 7. Create your character according to the 2024 Player's Manual utilizing Standard Array. As a house rule, players are able to choose their own Origin Feat as opposed to what is given by their character's chosen Background. Spells such as Goodberry and Create Food and Water are banned from selection for reasons that will be explained at the table.
Dine'n'Dungeon will be attempting to follow a traditional dungeon experience; though characters may die, they may not be permanently killed. Prepare for the event that your character falls in battle or to deadly traps with the understanding that their story does not have to end then and there.
Safety Tools
An electronic lines and veils sheet will be made available before the campaign begins, allowing players to list what is allowed, what isn't to be described, and what is forbidden.
