Gameplay details
This adventure takes place in the Renaissance/Early Modern Era of Escann in a mostly feudal, oppressive, historically awful society. The oppression of the common folk and xenophobia against 'monstrous races' is a given in most kingdoms, but there are examples of tolerance and peaceful coexistence too. We will go over safety tools, consent, the degree of medieval awfulness you are willing to tolerate, and how the party will get together in Session 0. I will also send out a consent form in which you can let me know what content you don't wish to see in our games. At the end of each session we can discuss what went well and what should be improved. This is a newbie-friendly game, I will help with the mechanical and rulebook-sides of the game, you just need to tell me what your character would like to do. 🎲

How will character creation work
Characters start out at Level 1, using the Point Buy system (https://chicken-dinner.com/5e/5e-point-buy.html) The theme of the setting restricts character options to the following playable races: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, Kobold. Please also note that Orcs, Half-Orcs, Kobolds and Goblins are usually viewed by suspicion by 'non-monstrous' races. Classes are not restricted, but spellcasters are more common among Elves and Half-Elves and artificery is a Gnomish tradition. If you're new to DnD, I'm happy to help with all the jargon and creating your first character. 👀 You can also keep your character sheet on any platform or even on paper. Same goes for rolling, physical dice are welcome, I won't stand between you and your clickity-clacks.
