User:OwenLeaf

I mostly post my work on Reddit now. I will continue to update here occasionally, but anyone interested in seeing more current work can find it there. My Reddit username is /u/OwenLeaf. A warning - be prepared to dig through several pages of comments about drums and various other things.

Who is this 'OwenLeaf'?[edit]

In real life, I am Owen [last name redacted]. I am a second-degree black belt in karate, a drummer, an author, and, of course, an avid D&D player. Oh, and did I mention I'm sixteen?

My username has been OwenLeaf for almost as long as I can remember. I don't know why. It has nothing to do with my real name or anything like that. It just, well, happened.

I first got interested in D&D two years ago, when I saw, just by chance, the 5e Basic Rules on the internet. I remembered that my dad had enjoyed the game when he was my age, so I downloaded the rules. I read them cover to cover. When I finished, I did it again. I was entranced by the world of D&D. I had always loved fantasies and science fiction, and, although I love video games, I had always thought they were too, well, constraining. Because of this, I don't like playing in premade campaign settings. I make my own worlds, which is also a great creative exercise for writing my novel. I prefer to DM, but when I do play, I am currently using: Legion, a Warforged Paladin 2/Templar (reflavored Hexblade) 6, Jacques des Rois, a lvl. 2 Human Rogue (soon-to-be Swashbuckler), and Zach, a lvl. 3 Human Way of the Open Hand Monk (reflavored as a street-fighter).

A novel? What kind of novel?[edit]

The novel I am working on is called the Ring of Umaroth. It is (of course) a fantasy, but a bit grittier than average in terms of magic. I may even post some of the magic items/artifacts from my novel on the Homebrew sections of the Wiki.
