🦇 A Cursed Child, An Eerie Instrument, and a Desperate Aristocrat 🏰 [3 session mini-campaign]

Creating your character

When you enroll in the game, you'll unlock access to our exclusive Discord channel, your gateway to a trove of valuable resources. Inside, you'll discover the Character Creation Guide, your indispensable tool for crafting unique and intriguing personas. Additionally, you'll receive a brief introduction to the game's rich and immersive setting, setting the stage for your adventure. It's worth noting that character creation must be completed in advance of our scheduled playdate. Fear not, though, as I'm eager and available to provide guidance throughout this process. If you desire extra assistance or have questions, we can even arrange a "Session -1" to ensure your character is perfectly tailored to your vision. However, should you prefer a quicker start, a selection of pre-generated characters is at your disposal. In the Discord channel, you'll also find a form where you can establish your lines and veils, allowing us to steer clear of any potentially uncomfortable situations during gameplay. Your comfort and enjoyment are paramount, and this form ensures a gaming experience that's both engaging and respectful of your boundaries.

Preparing for the session

𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: 🔹Free Discord account for communication before/between sessions (https://discord.com) 🔹Free Forge account to join the virtual tabletop (https://eu.forge-vtt.com/) 🎤Microphone: While a high-end mic isn't necessary, a quiet environment is crucial for everyone's enjoyment. 💻Reliable computer and internet connection: We'll be running audio/video through Zoom while loading maps with dynamic lighting, dice animations and music in Foundry, so a decent device and connection are important. 𝐎𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋: 📹Webcam: While using a camera is highly recommended for non-verbal communication and bonding between the players, it's not a requirement! 🎧Headphones: These help minimise echo and enhance your listening experience. 📖You can check how the game/system works before the session, but that is not necessary, as it is a quite simple game mechanic. If you are playing a campaign, I will explain the rules in the Session 0. If you are playing a oneshot, I will explain the rules as they unfold.
