Gameplay details

Theme: Fantasy Starting Level: 1st 1. Be mindful that your actions will have repercussions. Exercise wisdom, not folly. Act prudently. Should numerous signs suggest that opening the box would result in a fiery demise, it would be wise not to open it and anticipate survival. 2. As a storyteller, I embrace the rule of cool; if it's cool, cinematic, and epic, I'll likely allow it. If this clashes with your strict adherence to rules, then we're probably not compatible players. Additionally, I permit a substantial amount of Kobold Press third-party content to provide my players with more options beyond what the base 5e system offers. 3. Unless instructed otherwise, feel free to interact with the scenery to enhance the story. I anticipate that each of you will construct engaging scenes; don't merely enter a room, roll the dice, and inquire about your findings. Describe what you're saying, what actions you're taking, and what your end goal is. If a dice roll is necessary, I'll request it.
