About the adventure
Witches, kings, trickery and betrayal! The kingdom of Meridian is in danger from without and within. From humble beginings in the small town of Applewood, heroes will rise to defend the kingdom and make their names as legends. All characters will start at level 1 and follow an individual storyline up to level 3 where the 'party' will come together for the main adventure, but all players will be able to participate in the early story as extras (these initial sessions are half price for players who are not the main focus). This helps to establish backstory and bonds between characters as the group slowly emerges, and for newer players to get used to their abilities and spells etc at the early stages of the game.

About me
Hey! I'm Lee - a long term gamer, costumer / maker and father of two little chaos goblins. I've been playing and running rpg's and tabletop wargames for over 30 years off and on and came back to DM'ing near fulltime over the last few years to help keep friends and family sane! I'm open to running most games, especially 5E and Edge of the Empire, and have a definite preference towards homebrew and rule of cool style play (and am constantly surprised by the sometimes criminal applications of spells and abilities players can produce)...

Creating your character
Players are welcome to create their own characters after session zero - it's a great opportunity for people to see what the group may need and sound out ideas early on! I am more than happy to support players that need assistance creating their character after or during the session. Characters can be built from any official content within the collection available on D&D Beyond, no homebrew or third party creations.
For late players joining - there will be an initial private session 0 so I can get you up to speed and bring you into the group - the campaign is currently at level 7, past the first chapter as the party now venture into the capital of Meridian to uncover the tendrils of a deeply rooted fey conspiracy. Sessions will be weekly on Tuesdays. We will use Discord for communications, D&D Beyond for character management and Talespire as a VTT (with free guest seats provided).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All players will require ideally Talespire, if this is not possible then we can utilise maps on D&D Beyond. Full access and shared content for a campaign will be created on D&D Beyond for all players. A well setup and clear microphone would be appreciated. Webcams are welcome but not required.
What Lee Rossi brings to the table
Content shared on D&D Beyond, full battlemaps and terrain maps in either Talespire or D&D Beyond, custom HeroForge miniatures for their characters (in digital format)

How Lee Rossi creates a safe table
A free session zero will be open to all players to introduce themselves and get a feel for the group, and to freely discuss any concerns or limitations they may wish to have in place, along with private discussions if required external to the game. Any players intentionally ignoring boundaries set during the session zero will be warned once to stop, further infractions will see them removed from the group.
