Amazing one-shot. Lots of fun level 20 shenanigans. Teres ran a quick paced games with some exiting combat scenarios and interesting NPCs to interact with.

We had just concluded our Shattered Obelisk campaign, it was one of the best and amazing times with many memorable moments! There was never a moment were we weren't laughing or on the edge of our seats!

I had a great time playing in Teres’ one-shot! It was immersive, and I found the premise of a Midwinter Ball in the Feywilds uniquely fun. Teres does a great job of giving everyone their turn in the spotlight as well as allowing us freedom while still keeping the story moving forward. The rest of the party were made up of recurring players of Teres (which speaks highly of her that she does have a lot of regulars), and the group was one of my favorites to play with. The community in Teres’ Discord is really great. I will definitely be back for more adventures!

Teres is a passionate, funny, and creative DM She does great voices for her session, especially a funny spongebob impersonation for one of her NPCs. She did a great job making a session with only a single combat, little puzzles or traps, and heavy RP to be fun. I enjoyed her one shot the best of the Christmas-NYE week one shots I got on this website, BUT don't play in her games if you want to power-game or min-max- she doesn't allow for that. Such an attitude is appreciated as min-maxers/power-gamers can ruin games for me.
Additional details
How to prepare
They will need access to Roll 20 and Discord. It is especially important to create characters ahead of time. In session mics will be required, while video will be optional. There is a way for them to put their character sheets into Roll20, but if they desire they can also use DnD beyond, and a program known as Beyond 20.
What I provide
I will bring extra character sheets if needed. I will attempt to do some voices, and the adventure will have means for some flexibility. I will be running the game in my Vtuber persona, and am always looking for new tools to help make player experiences awesome.
Gameplay details
I will use X, N, and O in chat (I will probably talk about it as red, yellow, green), and there will also be a digital guide to it on the Roll 20. Break will be provided at about halfway through the adventure, and if needed by the group. Debriefing will happen at the end. Allowing for players to talk about the session, ask questions, and give feedback. Stars and Wishes will be at the very end, as an extra opportunity to provide feedback.

How will character creation work
What level will the characters be? Level 3 Players will need to create characters in advance, and instructions will be provided. In case of emergency I will also have spare characters. For Roll20 they will also need to provide me with an image of their character, so I can add it as a token.
