View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters should be made using options from the 2024 Player's Handbook. Additional character options can also be used from Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft only. Character creation will take place as part of Session 0 (or a one-to-one character creation before your first session if joining later in the campaign) so there’s no pressure to know how to create a character beforehand! And if you like, there are ✨pre-made characters available✨ for you to use if you don't want to have to worry about character creation. Characters will start at level 1 with character options shared with you via D&D Beyond. Stats will be generated via either the standard array or by rolling for them with the group.

How Wayne Ingram creates a safe table
Players will be provided with an online version of Monte Cook's RPG Consent Checklist to fill in before their first session. This will provide me with any details with regard to lines and veils etc. X, N & O's can be digitally messaged in chat or privately too. During Session 0 as well as building characters we will discuss any themes to expect to come up in the game as well as establish an agreed upon play-style and expectations of conduct. After sessions have concluded, players will also be able to share their stars and wishes for the game, ensuring that the overall experience for the campaign continues to be tailored to the collective table's tastes as best as possible
