Creating your character

I go over basics during interviews and send a session 0 doc after that should answer character creation questions. After reviewing house rules via the lore doc I'll be happy to answer any questions from palyers before character creations and work with them on backstory. I try to integrate backstory into the game, and always love a player who's interested in providing a detailed one! We will be using mostly standard array, but instead of a 15 for their highest stat players will get a 17 so everyone can start the game being super good at at least one thing. Most races are allowed, though I'm not familiar with the really new ones and would want to look them over first if someone is considering playing one.

Preparing for the session

Please make sure you have a working microphone and camera. I find that leaving your camera off makes it more difficult for other players to get a read on how someone is reacting and makes role play more difficult. Please have an idea of what your character's personality might be. I'm happy to answer any questions before or during session 0. Ideally we'd talk beforehand and have a vague idea of backstory by the time we meet to go over things.

What Maria brings to the table

I'm an illustrator as my day job and will do character art for everyone's PC for the game. I have homemade maps, puzzles, lore, and a RP-heavy GM style with flexible storylines that cater to player initiative and actions. Audio and video via discord. I bring a hefty dose of "yes and" improv, enthusiasm for player creativity, and vivid descriptions. I have a roll20 page set up with a ton of visuals, and a campaign link on dndbeyond that has a decent amount of resources. Audio and video via discord.

Homebrew rules

Standard array but replace the 15 with a 17 Inspiration is a D12 instead of a reroll Potions as a BA, or use your action and regain max health You can switch weapons by using half of your movement. If you desperately need to use a spell but do not have slots available to cast it, you can choose to pull from your own life force to cast it. For every level of the spell, you take a point of exhaustion. Ex. if you needed to cast revivify and had no slots left for it, you could take 3 points of exhaustion and cast it anyway. If you want to cast a lower level spell but are out of low level spell slots, you can upcast the spell and expend a higher spell slot instead even if the spell does not specify it can be cast at higher levels. Each week on Discord I will send everyone a question: What’s your favorite color, who was your first crush, what’s the worst day you ever had at school, etc. You may choose to respond in character (if your character wouldn’t respond you can DM me your answer), and this will become information the other PCs know. The idea is these are things the PCs learned about each other during their down time/around the campfire at night. Everyone who answers receives inspiration that they can start the next session with.

How Maria creates a safe table

I'll be sending a list to new players with lines and veils, as well as a lore doc of the world (it's home brew) with info on house rules and other FAQs. We'll go over character ideas and anything else during session 0 As a general rule, I don't allow evil characters. It just results in too much PvP conflict.
