Dawn of the Red War- a level 20 campaign against Szass Tam&Thay

Creating your character

Character creation will be done before the game. If you can create your character sheet on roll20 that would be the best, but I also accept Dndbeyond sheets that can be linked to roll20.

Preparing for the session

Players need a working mic and access to a computer. The game will be held over discord and roll20, so you will need an account on both. Players will need to make their character sheet ahead of time in roll20 or dndbeyond. If dndbeyond, they will need to have the chrome extension beyond20. Your character will be a rank 5 member of one of the adventuring factions of Faerun.

What Dev Alva brings to the table

If you play with me, you'll be playing with one of the most recommended dms on the site, as well as one of the most experienced dms for balancing high level play in 5e. I have six level 20 oneshots I run regularly on SPG, as well as three ongoing level 20 campaigns. Before I became an SPG dm, I was running level 16-20 adventures for years. I use unique monsters, strategies, and my vast experience to truly deliver an amazing game. I work hard to provide an immersive online experience for my players. I use music and soundscapes to set the mood. I use imagery for theatre of the mind roleplay, and beautiful maps from various sources for combat and exploration. I am constantly improving my roll20 room with effects and visuals for you all to enjoy. I make sure to give everyone a chance for their character to shine, and play to their strengths and abilities. In my games you can expect challenging combat, great improvisation, and an immersive world to play in. I put player agency and involvement first, and I want to emphasize the fact that this game is a cooperative environment between myself and the players. If you love combat, this is the game for you! I run my games RAW, or rules as written. If you have a rules question for me that I haven't come across before or forgotten about, I will pause the game momentarily to look it up and make sure everything is according to the spirit of the rules. I reference Sage Advice/Jeremy Crawford tweets, but have my own opinions as well (such as the interpretation of magic missile, shield master feat, and dispel magic).

Homebrew rules

I have one homebrew rule, and that's you can drink a potion as a bonus action.

How Dev Alva creates a safe table

This game uses safety tools. There will be no sexual assault, homophobia or transphobia in my games.
