Titan's Rift | Level 8-20 🌱 Beginner Friendly | First Game Free

Creating your character

Characters will begin at Level 1 using the Point Buy system and 2024 rules. All official and homebrew materials are welcome to be requested as long as homebrew or expanded content is flagged with me beforehand so we can fit it in/balance if needed :) I love putting a lot of care and attention into Character Creation before Session 1 with; ■ 1:1 chat to help you go through initial character ideas and explore what kind of game you're most interested in playing ■ Group Session 0 once we have at least 3 players to build a united idea of the narrative and game we'll be pursuing as well as any inter-party history that players might want ■ Full access to my DND Beyond subscription to help you plan your character before Session 0. Once characters are completed, I'll help you import them into FoundryVTT for play.

Preparing for the session

🗺️ Bring your mic, laptop/desktop and a way to take notes, it's time to experience the world of Titan's Rift. Outside of that, all you need is a character idea and desire for that character to be part of a great adventure. Software-wise, we use Discord for voice chat and FoundryVTT (you will simply need a stable internet connection to run it through your browser) to play :)

Homebrew rules

Titan's Rift (and most of my games) run on a few homebrew rules that are designed to add more decision making and take advantage of Foundry's awesome resource automation systems; Rests only recover half of the resources that they normally recover and do not naturally heal HP. Hit Dice must be used instead for healing + recovering additional class resources. Hit Dice can be used to recover class resources such as spell slots, focus points etc based on a formula unique to the resource. Generally, long rest resources cost 1:1 and short rest resources can be recovered 2:1. Many factors such as eating good food, resting in a safe location, enjoying a morale boosting story around the campfire can boost Hit Dice recovery. Characters gain a level of Exhaustion (2024 rules, cumulative -1 penalty) whenever they reach 0 hitpoints in combat. With these three rules, the hope is that combat is reserved as a last resort because resources as not as easily recovered and a ardous dungeon delve, dangerous journey or singular deadly combat will take the party days to recover from instead of a single night's sleep. -- Potions can be used as a Action or Bonus Action. An Action will always heal the maximum possible hitpoints from the potion. Flanking can be done only when the flanked creature has been threatened already (with an attack etc) by the creature you are flanking with and you must be able to draw a line between you and your fellow flanker through the flanked target. Ranged flanking is possible using the same logic. Martial Characters can choose between two Weapon Masteries to activate while fighting (representing making different styles of attacks) but Weapon Mastery effects only trigger when you beat a creature's AC by 5 or more. Advantage and Disadvantage stack but every case of additional Adv/Dis will just be a cumulative +2/-2 to the roll instead of an additional roll.

How Robin creates a safe table

I try to always set up a private conversation to go over any special safety tools or needs for players and see if this game is the right match for you. We will also do a session 0 and send consent forms where I will know what type of content avoid if it makes you uncomfortable. All Safety Tools are digital and a link will be provided to players upon completing session 0.
