About the adventure
A campaign run using the traditional D&D 5e system supplemented by the Anime 5e book published by Dyskami/Japanime Games. Everyone knows the story in anime; a group of bright eyed teens enroll into an adventuring school, eager to start their own forays into the unknown. Throughout their 4 years in this environment, they go through trials and tribulations, sadness and despair, romance and betrayal. All those feelings put into power, motivation, drive to become better than they were the day before. Before you know it, this party that has been through thick and thin has become one of the most famous and strongest adventurers in the known world, hailed as heroes of their era, an upstanding role-model for all! Or... it could be a tale of strife, where harmony is nowhere to be found, as the team of dropouts join the darker side of society, ruling the backstreets with fear and strength, ultimately becoming the tyrants they had once sought to overthrow themselves... Only you can write your story, shape your ideals, create your character, and throw yourself into the world of Anime D&D! This campaign will begin at 1st level as the party begins their real lives opening the doors to the Adventuring Academy, but from there onward, it depends on the choices they make, and the company they keep...

About me
Hi there, I'm a DM of 3 years with lots of online experience, mostly roll20, but am now learning how to Foundry VTT. As the forever DM of 2 D&D groups already, I decided why not start making my hobby my job? I would say my specialty/preference is hosting games for new players, seeing what new perspectives they bring to the table, as well as making sure that their first experience of TTRPGs is a smooth and enjoyable one! I've heard way too many "First Time DM Horror Stories" to know that the first impression is always the most important.

Creating your character
Characters made will be at level 1, with no restrictions as long as they are from a source book from WoTC or the Anime 5e handbook. Homebrew will be discussed on a case by case basis. A private survey regarding a player's expectations and wishes will be sent out to the players alongside the safety tools, and private one-to-one sessions regarding anything else that a player feels should be brought up to the DM's attention (like homebrew classes) will be scheduled before the party's session zero.
This will be a highly adaptable campaign, whose storyline truly kicks off after the base module in the academy. Look forward to it!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
- Preferably a mic, however, it is simply a Quality of Life improvement, and text only is absolutely fine as well. - A spirit of cooperation, the party are the protagonists, not a singular person. - Familiarization with the rules is not necessary, but appreciated. Questions, of course, are very much welcome. - A web browser is all that is needed.

How Shun Zephyr creates a safe table
As a beginner game, I expect to run a slow, rules light game to help ease new players into the system, before slowly introducing newer mechanics over the course of the campaign.
