How to prepare

Access to Discord and a working microphone is a must. Please make sure your microphone indeed works as needed, since troubleshooting your setup during a session robs the other players from their playtime. You can download discord from https://discord.com/ The campaign will be run through Fantasy Grounds, and we'll be using that software to create and keep track of your characters and their abilities. You can download the demo version of Fantasy Grounds from http://www.fantasygrounds.com/, which will be enough for the campaign - no purchase is necessary.

What I provide

I'll be bringing my own Discord server with a bot set up for dice rolls. I also own the sourcebooks on both Beyond and Fantasy Grounds, and have the DM and player's guide at hand to help answer any doubts and with character creation.

Gameplay details

I focus on the experience rather than number-crunching and favor creativity over rules. You can expect a fast-paced, relatively rules light but RPG heavy experience from me. I'm high on comedy and funny situations while doing my best to adapt the story so each character gets some level of development and advancement of their backstory and personal goals. All of my campaigns are illustrated - besides having maps when necessary, players are shown reference images of the places they're visiting and people they're meeting as a means to help them get into their characters and the worlds they inhabit. ------------------------- Safety Information ------------------------- An introductory is a relatively safe environment to explore roleplaying, in general. However, all players come from different backgrounds, and what might be easy to deal with for some might be difficult for other, particularly considering the wide array of possible situations, both scripted and not, that can arise during a roleplaying session - and how sometimes these situations can affect us in ways we ourselves might not expect. To handle this, we will host a discussion about lines, veils, and potential triggers during session zero. Just as well, we'll repeat said discussions several times during sessions to ensure the safety and enjoyment of everyone in the group. To help players deal with potential stress resulting from in-game situations, sessions can be stopped at any moment if a player feels triggered, even if the situation creating it wasn't one discussed before and thus not one of the previously agreed-on lines or veils. It is my duty to offer you the safest experience I can, and I'll hold myself to it.

How will character creation work

You can create your own character or use a premade - you can also ask me to roll you a character with your desired class and race and I will. We'll be creating characters during Session 0, and I'll be available for any help. Creativity and inventiveness when creating characters is both appreciated and encouraged - if I can make any arrangements so your character can function as you'd like, I will, even if it means ignoring or rewriting some written rules. Character stat points can be assigned using standard array or point buy. Dice rolling for stats is not allowed. If you want to create a new character, having an idea of the archetype you'd like to play is ideal, along with some knowledge of your character's origins and personality. I can help you flesh it out during character development. You can also bring characters created on your own if you wish, but it's not necessary - as I'm here to help guide you both on the technical and the creative aspects of character creation.
