About the adventure

(If your group Speaks French, let me know :D) Synopsis: Tonight, a ceremony of light is taking place on the surface. Meanwhile, a world away in the city of spiders, a drow matron solidifies a pact with soul-consuming entities who require great sacrifices in trade for unimaginable power. Drow eyes turn to the surface. If you like the Underworld, Monsters, Drows, Dwarves, Mushrooms & spiders this adventure is for you! for this part of the adventure (book 1) your characters will be able to progress from lvl 1 to level 5-6! Beginners are welcome! Myself being a rather "medium lvl gm" I'm not used to seeing a lot of special dilemmas that we may encounter during these sessions so let's learn together! GM open to customized traits/weapons if your character's lore calls for it (validation required) I aim to keep our sessions as a comfortable place where everybody feels welcome. I reward originality (actions/roleplay) with the "Inspiration" mechanic as well as some house rules/rewards for original actions

About me

Hello there! I've played in the past as a player in different little campaigns with my friends. But then, a Thirst for becoming a professional GM for my friends grew stronger and stronger. I bought a software, attended some classes, read lots of books, played through some oneshots and GM some as well which brings me here today. Keep in mind: English isn't my mother tongue (French is), however, I own a Cambridge C1 certificate in English

Swiss GM is a one-of-a-kind dude! I got to know him as a player first and he really impressed me as a GM! Super thoughtful and chill, you can really see how much time and care he puts into both the visuals and the story narration of his adventure. I recommend his talents to any and all players wanting an amazing GM at their table! Vive la Suisse!

Character creation
Creating your character

All the information will be detailed on my Guilded Server, which is filled with docs concerning additional Races & Classes/Archetypes available. The characters will start at lvl 1. If the player has experience with D&D5e and creates his own character I will set a one-on-one session to validate his character and import it to FGU, Otherwise, a one-on-one Session will take place directly on the FGU software to create the player's character together. (pre-gens are available)

What to expect
Preparing for the session

A working mic, (Webcam is optional, I won't use it), Fantasy Grounds Unity (Demo version), Join the Guilded server, maybe have a vague idea of what kind of character you would like to play. Read 2 pages of the adventure's setting (available on the Guilded server)
