Power Rangers Dinostars

Creating your character

Players can choose and customize from six premade character sheets or they may opt to create a Ranger from scratch. Past level one, all players will be expected to level up their characters (I'll provide the necessary excerpts from the Power Rangers RPG manual)

Preparing for the session

I'll be hosting the players via Discord and maps via Owlbear Rodeo, with premade characters provided. Therefore, players will need the following: -A stable internet connection -A Discord account -To join the Discord server prior to Session 0 -A way to participate in Discord text chat (if this isn't feasible for disability reasons, please give me a heads-up so I can accommodate) -A microphone to participate in Discord voice chat (if this isn't feasible for disability reasons, please give me a heads-up so I can accommodate) -A webcam for video chat (optional, you're not required to show your face) -The ability to complete a Google survey -The ability to open an editable PDF character sheet -The ability to join an Owlbear room -Dice (optional, my Owlbear room has virtual dice enabled)

What Julia LaFond brings to the table

I will provide a Discord server to host text, voice, and video chat -- including side channels in case a player and I need to discuss something in secret during gameplay. Premade character sheets will be provided. I also have an Owlbear Rodeo 2.0 account, which will include custom maps + tokens, virtual dice, and an initiative tracker. Oh, and I also have the core ruleset for the Power Rangers Roleplaying Game. But most importantly, I'll be doing my best to make sure everyone is having a good time (with the possible exception of the characters)

Homebrew rules

I tend to ignore the "rough terrain around enemies" rule. Also, if you're in Angel Grove, your Zord arrives the turn after you summon it. Oh, and if you're not wearing your color while unmorphed, the Grid will provide.

How Julia LaFond creates a safe table

Before Session 0 I'll send out a Google form to collect anonymous information on Lines and Veils, where Lines are topics players don't want featured in the game, and Veils are topics they'd prefer to be glossed over if they come up. We'll discuss the aggregated Lines and Veils, expectations for the game, player questions, tech compatibility, and the rest of the safety tools during Session 0. But to briefly review the rest: X, N, and O are digital (can be typed in text chat, said vocally, or mimed on video chat), with the possibility of digital tokens in Owlbear Rodeo. Open Door means anyone can call a break or step away for their own wellbeing without being judged for it. Stars and Wishes mean that at the end of each session, all players will have the chance to say a Star (something they enjoyed about the session) and a Wish (something they hope for in the next session, including areas that could improve). I'm also glad to discuss concerns, including clarifying the content warnings, before the one-shot via direct message. Additional CW: clowns Session 0 may also include character creation and introductory gameplay. I'll be hosting the players via Discord and maps via Owlbear Rodeo. Therefore, players will need the following: -A stable internet connection -A Discord account -To join the Discord server prior to Session 0 -A way to participate in Discord text chat (if this isn't feasible for disability reasons, please give me a heads-up so I can accommodate) -A microphone to participate in Discord voice chat (if this isn't feasible for disability reasons, please give me a heads-up so I can accommodate) -A webcam for video chat (optional, you're not required to show your face) -The ability to complete a Google survey -The ability to open editable PDF character sheets -The ability to join an Owlbear room -Dice (optional, my Owlbear room has virtual dice enabled)
