An ongoing Wild Beyond the Witchlight Play by Post Adventure!

Creating your character

For this campaign, we will meet on discord in a "Party-lounge" chat and discuss our campaign. Initially, we will discuss what we are both excited to see and what we would like to keep away from the game space. This will also include sourcebooks to be included in our game. As DM I'm open to any official DND sourcebooks but, there will be an open discussion with players, for example, "Do we want Spelljammer character backgrounds in this game?". Players will create 5th level characters through DND Beyond and upload finished character sheets to discord with Avrae, an only slightly evil-aligned dice roller and combat system to run DND on discord. No experience with Avrae is required, anyone who needs help, I'll be there for you. An inspirational watch list to prepare for this adventure might include: -The Dark Crystal (1982) -Hocus Pocus (1993) -Labyrinth (1986)

Preparing for the session

Player to-do list: 1. Download Discord, create an account and verify your account (https://discord.com/) 2. Head to DND Beyond's website and create an account, a free/non-subscription is good (https://www.dndbeyond.com/) 3. Create a character that will fit in well with the setting and tones of the adventure. Joining our discord server (available after you book your first game) to have fun integrating characters and stories together. 4. Ideally, but not mandatory, have a glance over the Dungeons and Dragons 5e players handbook to cover basic rules and have a light understanding of what your character can mechanically do

What Eryn brings to the table

As DM, I’m active daily to interact and offer story progression, ensure the safety and fun of our gaming space and assist players with character creation/use of Avrae. I'm here as the pillar of our community and aim to build a space that is safe, fun, inclusive and cozy. During session times will be my “in office” hours for the week, when I dedicate an evening to update our adventure log (helpful entries about the story thus far) and in more immediacy interact if you would like to move a scene forward, more speedily interact with the world/npcs and hangout as a community. I will bring: -System mastery of 5e and numerous (if not most) sourcebooks for character creation. -Engaging storytelling -Experiences with Avrae -Narrative illustrations to help build immersion -Use of battlemaps and tokens with image posted updates to initiative encounters (which I will update regularly in encounters, allowing players ease of only focusing on discord) -Use of syrinscape and other DJ fun audio during office hours, if you would like to hangout :D

How Eryn creates a safe table

Safety tools will always be available for reference in a channel of their own on the discord server. -In Session 0/ onboarding we will go over the themes of the campaign and our expectations of one another. This would include character creation, desired narrative and roleplay depth as well as, mechanically what source books we would like to see at the table. All of these are refreshed for all players when new adventurers join, to ensure the safety and comfort of all. -Lines and Veils will take place during our session 0 and is considered a living document, meaning it is always on the table for evaluation and updating the needs of our gaming space changes. -X card is available as an Emote as well as our “VCR” system that allows an easy shorthand to communicate needs, safety and wants within a scene.
