About the adventure
Serving as thralls sent to die in someone else's war, you have two choices. Defect, or die. Any sane person wouldn't chose the later, but can you get out? Even if you do defect, how will you survive in the harsh wilderness surrounded by enemies? Welcome to Defectors! This is a game where survival and personal grudges are paramount. There will be dragons, rebellions, and opportunities to turn your fate around, however, you must be careful in how you go about your activities. If too much notoriety is gained, you will be noticed. Then things get interesting.

About me
I have been DMing for 20 years and still love this game! D&D is a great opportunity to shape a story with your friends and have fun with an adventure that you make yourself. I fully believe that the job of a DM is to be a narrator and not storyteller. The DM tells you what is around you and might even present some options, but at the end of the day it is the players who make the decisions and shape the story line. I have ran too many systems to count, but love D&D 5e since it is a great blend of 3.5 and 1st ed. As a DM, I am always pushing myself to make my talents improve and create a better game for you. This may involve practicing at voices, improving my tech, or just making things look nicer. If you are interested in getting a game going, I would love to work with you and am open to direct messages to get a game sorted out. I hope to see you in game and enjoy the wonderful game of D&D together.

Creating your character
You will all be level 1 and everything will be done on Foundry. if you have DnD beyond you can use Beyond20 to transfer/use the character on Foundry, BUT IT IS EASIER TO JUST ADJUST CHARACTERS IF FOUNDRY. If you use Beyond20 please give me a link to your character so I can see/observe them. I have not used Beyond20 however, so I would not be able to help guide you. If you want to make a character come with a concept, otherwise I have 44 pre-made characters for use. All official books are allowed. Any homebrew requires authorization from me. Also, if you want to make a character or use skills use the book in the top right (compendium) on foundry to find and drag over the desired item. It makes things easier, but only holds basic phb stuff in it. To roll stats, roll 4d6 and drop the lowest (1+3+5+6=14).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a mic, a forge account (free) and do your best to remember important rules when they are told. You will not need to bring a pre-made character sheet or have your own dice. Foundry provides it all, so just be ready to play and learn as you go. If you have a token or image that you want your character to look like, then just have it ready and let me know!
What Kyle Carter (Wizo)🧙‍♂️ brings to the table
I will provide maps, tokens, and your character can have their own special token as well. I will also provide extra maps if needed, voices, and over 100 tracks along with my technical expertise on how to help you if there are IT issues. There are a few homebrew documents I have as well. a 100+ page document on custom items designed to add options and help shore up the weaknesses that are inherent to certain classes, along with a few other homebrew options. Not many beyond the character creation, but if you have a theme or path that you want to go down I have no problem with my experience creating something for you. Smithing and learning traits from books are two great examples. Lastly I will provide a discord server and a forge server for us to use foundry on.

Safety
How Kyle Carter (Wizo)🧙‍♂️ creates a safe table
In session 0 we will go over what to expect, what to do if something you do not wish to experience is occurring and I wasn't made aware of it (how to whisper me), how hard topics will be handled or if anyone tries to make any hard topics an issue (sexual or gruesome violence), and lastly finding out if you have anything that needs to be addressed. If hard topics such as rape or torture are brought up, the most detail that we would go into is 'fade to black.' I also consider a line making other players do things. This cannot be done in game. You cannot persuade someone to kill themselves as an example. We will also have a 5 minute break every session just in case. Lastly, I have an open door policy of "talk to me after the game, or during the game." YOU DO NOT NEED TO BOTTLE THINGS UP! Tell me and I will listen to you. I always want to improve the game so just let me know.
