Family Matters
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
You are members of a minor house under House Fanel, one of the High Houses ruling the city of Rosford from the shadows - and by extension the Kingdom of Avonshaw. With the passing of Lord Cornelius Fanel three months ago, the control of the High House has passed to Benedict Fanel in a series of rather strange circumstances. The minor houses are now vying for power under the new regime, your own included. Whether you have joined in with the political jostling or have chosen to ignore it so far, you cannot ignore the summon of your own house lord... Survive the political intrigues of the High Houses, choose a side in the developing Fanel Feud, or make your own bid for power. Whichever path your choose, you'll need to keep your wits about if you plan to see another day. -- This game is set within a homebrew world. The story will be driven by the players' choices and as such will be focused on roleplay - though you can still expect a health dose of combat and puzzles to spice up your characters' lives.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Characters will start at level 3. Stats will be rolled during session 0 and the party alignments will also be decided then.

Additional details
How to prepare
All players should have the following: - a decent microphone - a Forge account (the free version is enough) - a Discord account Please note: the Forge/Foundry VTT setup seem to favour those using a Windows PC and the Chrome browser. Other combinations do work mostly (including using tablets). They just do not always work as well. Knowledge of the D&D 5e ruleset is an advantage though not necessary.
What I provide
Beside my knowledge as a GM and my determination to ensure all my players have fun? I'll bring cool music, flashy animation for your spells and weapons, digital maps to show you exactly how close that owl bear is standing... You'll also get to decide what your digital dice look like, if you want.
Gameplay details
I will send each player a copy of the Consent in Gaming form to fill in and we will discuss Lines and Veils during Session 0. At that time, we will also go through character creation. If you are joining the game mid-campaign, I will make time to got through a mini session 0, set out our Lines and Veils, introduce you to the setting and the story and make sure that the game is generally a good fit for you. I build in a 10 minute break during sessions to allow players a rest, through any player can step away from the table at any time if they need to.

How will character creation work
Characters will start at level 3 and initial concepts will be discussed during session 0. You will also roll stats alongside your fellow players to ensure fair play. Following this, you will be given access to a world primer, to learn more about the setting, and you will have the opportunity to discuss your character's background, knowledge, and connections.
