Creating your character
Official content available from Wizards of the Coast (additional homebrew content can be used with prior permission). A collection of pre-generated characters is available to choose from as well. Characters should be created on D&D Beyond in the provided campaign for the session. However, paper sheets are acceptable if necessary (I will be inputting the character on D&D Beyond myself). Pre-generated characters have a D&D Beyond character sheet in addition to a paper* *Paper sheet can be a digital PDF or a printed version of the character sheet with a picture of the information provided.
This listing is a 3-5 hour one-shot for Blood in the Streets: Urban Curse of Strahd utilizing NPCs from She is the Ancient. It's an urbanized take on Death House for a completely new and unique experience.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The sessions will be taking place on Discord* for video and audio resources. Audio will be required, so a Microphone is necessary; however, Video is optional, but a Webcam is suggested. Characters should be made before the session begins; mostly, complete sheets are acceptable if details need to be filled out at the start of the session. Pre-generated characters will be provided on request to meet this requirement. Digital Dice and Physical Dice are both acceptable; it is a matter of personal preference. *It will be a private server on Discord, and the link will be provided upon joining the session.
What Jayden King brings to the table

How Jayden King creates a safe table
Lines and Veils are handled through a Google Form where your responses will be available for me to review, and I draft a document of the table's full limits for everyone to access. This allows anonymous submission while ensuring all members of the table are respected. Session 0 is an ongoing conversation that I have with the entire table and individual players leading to the session, culminating in a Pre Session check-in to review the consent and safety guidelines.
