How to prepare

Players will need an account (free or paid, but free is sufficient) on: - Roll20.net for maps. -Discord, to communicate with the other players and the GMs before and after the session; as well as for Voice (Video is optional) Basic knowledge of D&D 5e, be sure to read through your character's abilities and feature, as it is highly recommended for optimized play time!

What I provide

- Battlemaps, bad puns, and an array of sound effects. - 16 years of DM'ing experience! - Everything needed to make playing the game a breeze, and make your characters awesome. - I will have all sourcebooks ready to reference; and all prepared characters will have functional sheets in roll20 (with click-macro rolls enabled on the sheet)

Gameplay details

This adventure will be played via Roll20, with Discord for Voice. Content Warnings: Monsters, Cave-ins, Sensory Deprivation, Religious topics including sin, damnation, etc This is a PG13-rated adventure. Though the content is scaled for difficulty and designed to be challenging and there is always the chance of character death, nothing is intended to be overly-cruel or cause instant death. As a means to call for safety pauses and holds, I will have a Safety Card token available to anonymously Drop on the Map at any point. If a player is uncomfortable with the content for any reason (including phobias, PTSD, and/or many more), Drag and Drop it into the map at any time for a safety pause. While this will not prevent a character death if it happens, I am 100% okay with flash-forwarding past a bad moment for you if need be!

How will character creation work

* A majority of players will be continuing from Call of the Netherdeep, but we still still have a Session 0 as some are building new characters. We'll use this time to ensure that the party is in communication on tactics and planning, and to help those less familiar with higher level play ease into the game! * Starting Level: All players start at Level 12. You may create a character sheet either on D&D Beyond, or within Roll20! * Ability Scores: Determine ability scores using 27 Point-Buy! * The character customization options introduced in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything to alter racial ability scores are allowed. * Optional Class Features (such as Favored Foe for Ranger) from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything are allowed. * In addition to class and background starting equipment, please also take 10,000 gold to spend on additional gear, potions, etc. You may purchase any magic items that are Very Rare or under with these funds, utilizing the prices from this list: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8XAiXpOfz9cMWt1RTBicmpmUDg/view?usp=sharing - - - - - - Goals for Session 0: * Character Creation review - We'll go through the Character Creation Steps together; two players are carrying characters over from Netherdeep - three players are rolling new characters and this will be a good chance to make sure everyone has their choices solidified (and it's a chance to change anything up before we begin gameplay). * Safety Talk - I'll explain the uses and functions of our Safety Cards, Additionally, we can discuss Lines & Veils, Hard Limits, and anything else we want to bring up to keep everyone safe at the table! * Establish the Party - Confirm party roles, starting equipment, etc. - Confirm and discuss connections between characters (This is a fun exercise I that I picked up in Monster of the Week, and it's a good chance to get some preemptive character relations started) * Roll some dice! We'll get the dice rolling and characters in use with any remaining time!!!
