Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Eberron: All Roads Lead to Sharn

About the adventure

Eberron! This game has more pulp in it then if Casablanca and Maltese Falcon had a baby, then that baby pulled out a gun (or a wand shaped like a gun) and shot them both. All jokes aside, Eberron is a big setting and contains a lot of story potential. I have adventures and ideas planned for Sharn but this is not just my game but ours. I want the group to have a say in what it is they want and we can build the adventure from there. Some possible ideas: -Private Inquisitor: Gum Shoes plus your body guards and specialists in arcane trickery to resolve mysteries and help the damsel off the street, that is until she stabs you in the back. -Dark Lanterns: Be part of the Breland Intelligence agency and work in the shadows to keep. -Settlers in Q'Barra dealing with threats both political and wild. Many more ideas we can find out there I am sure. I also want the game to match the characters that are made for it. So I am setting session 0 two weeks before session 1 so I can have that additional planning time after characters are made.

How to prepare

We will use Discord for voice chat, which means you will also need a mic and a set of headphones. You can download discord from here: https://discord.com/download. For our Virtual Table Top (VTT), we will use Fantasy Grounds Unity, which you can find a free download here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/home/FantasyGroundsUnity.php I have the 'Ultimate Edition' of this product so all you need is the demo version provided in the link. Both of these products require free accounts made and possible updates, so this needs to be done before game time. This game works best when you are not in an area filled with distractions and I would ask that you find a space that won't have background noises like tv, music, etc.

What I provide

I have the 'Ultimate Edition' of Fantasy Grounds Unity, Core books, Eberron: Rising from the last war, Xanathars guide to everything, & Elemental Evil Player Companion all in FG format for use. I also have the Books for use along with Exploring Eberron for character creation.

Gameplay details

Players can expect interesting combat encounters, meet and interact with varying NPCs and as a more noir game can look at the seedier sides of Eberron.

How will character creation work

Character Creation & House Rules Character Creation: Session 0 will encompass character creation, but please come with ideas about who you want your character to be and how they fit into the group. We will use a Standard array or Point buy using 27 points. Characters cannot go below 8 (unless you can give me a real good reason) or above 20. If everyone agrees we can run stats by rolling 4d4 and dropping lowest, I think point buy tends to be better. Restrictions Materials allowed for character creation are as follows: Players Handbook Xanathars Guide to Everything Elemental Evil Player Companion Eberron: Rise of the Last War Exploring Eberron Any other material will require express consent from the GM. Theme of the Game is Noir, you are members of your own inquisitor agency and people down on their luck or have a problem that needs solving will come to you. All characters have an obvious connection in working here, one person should take on as the owner or ‘boss’ but this of course doesn’t have to mean ‘leadership’. The group should take on different roles to emphasize specialized roles in the office. Further Restrictions: No evil characters, you can be scoundrels and ne’er-do-wells. Eberron is about shades of gray, I understand that, I don’t want to see explicitly evil characters. Gear You will receive your starting equipment plus one healing potion and roll for starting gold based on your class.
