How to prepare

A Discord account and working mic are required. A Webcam is preferred, but not mandatory. A basic understanding of the Witcher world is recommended, but not required. -For those of you who have only watched the Netflix show, imagine it as if you were getting the story from a drunkard in a bar, half remembering what he'd heard from Dandelion's (the Bard) ballads. The show is WILDLY inaccurate and will not be considered canon. That said, it's better than no information at all. We're on FoundryVTT, so no physical items are required. Dice and Character Sheets are included in the system.

What I provide

I will bring an expansive knowledge of the franchise and system, create maps to be run through DungeonFog, and have built a complete compendium full of items, spells, and creatures from all of RTG's Witcher content.

Gameplay details

The game is a little rules heavy, however once you're past the learning curve, they become somewhat intuitive. The Witcher is not a soley combat focused game like D&D and Pathfinder, and focuses more on narrative arcs and intruige. Some of the classes, like Bard and Merchant, offer almost now combat advantages, but bring a lot to the table socially. There is a Verbal Combat and Investigation system, which allow non-combat characters to engage in Encounters as well. Combat in the Witcher is very lethal, requiring preparation and tactics. Characters can be maimed or die in nearly any encounter, so having a backup is recommended to continue playing. We're playing on FoundryVTT with a complete, manually-built compendium with all of RTG's Witcher content, including the DLC content. As far as Table Etiquette, I expect everyone to respect every player regardless of their personal beliefs or opinions. We're all on different journeys in the real world and our experiences and perspectives may differ, but we're all human beings who are entitled to our world views. Bigotry, homophobia, and intolerance will NOT be tolerated. I play on Discord and require everyone to do the same. A Mic is required, and while a video is welcome and recommend it is optional.

How will character creation work

Character creation will happen during Session 0. Witcher TRPG features a detailed Life Path system that helps to create a framework for character backstories. These can be rolled or chosen, allowing you to quickly and easily create interesting character backgrounds that can easily be expanded upon.
