Hargreed's Dungeons & Delving & Delectables & Dining - Deluxe!

Creating your character

Characters will start at level 1 for this game and sheets will be created on D&D Beyond, or even physical sheets if the player prefers to be used on Discord. Having a few character concepts in mind is more than welcome, during session 0 we'll discuss the stats and have some roleplay how the party meets before setting off on their journey. Coming with no idea what to play, or a full character in mind either is quite alright. There is a SLIGHT stipulation though... Instead of having starting equipment, each player will start with the lowest possible gold starting amount to purchase gear session one. (Barbarians would start with 20 gp, Bards 50 gp, etc.) This will provide incentive to utilize the Dungeons resources as we play!

Preparing for the session

To prepare it is ideal to have: - A note taking device of some kind, especially if this is your first game - A decent quality Microphone, Webcam is not mandatory but will be an option if players so choose - A pair of headphones or ability to ensure your microphone does not pick up the music and other players voices - A D&D Beyond account, and Discord Account. You will not need, but are allowed to bring and use if you would prefer - A Physical copy of your Character Sheet - A Physical set of Dice If anything else is required, or comes up we'll discuss it all together. Communication will be key when playing to ensure safety, fun and storytelling are prioritized.

How Jakey creates a safe table

🛡️ Safety and Session Dynamics: Safety is paramount in every game I run. Utilizing Discord's safety tools, we can pause, stop, or move forward during potentially triggering moments. Before Session Zero, a comprehensive survey covers Personal Information, TTRPG Playstyle, Tabletop Safety (CW: potential trigger terms), and For Fun, ensuring a tailored and enjoyable experience for every player. After to each session we'll do Stars & Wishes so the game can be catered to each players hopes and experience! 🌟 Content Sensitivity and G-Rating: At Session Zero, we openly discuss violence in the game, aligning with the comfort levels of the table. Whether enemies "fade away" upon defeat or campaigns take a pacifist approach, safety remains our top priority. We focus on crafting an environment where players feel secure and empowered. 🌌 Session 0 and Character Design: Session 0 is a collaborative journey. It's your chance to express your hopes for the game, while I offer support and guidance. Sheets take a backseat as we dive into the campaign's atmosphere. With detailed player and safety surveys, along with a character survey, we tailor the world to each player's personalized experience. ⏰ Regular Session Format: - Gathering Time: A moment for Chat, and check-ins Session Recap: Players can recap the last session for a DM's inspiration and a bonus one for trivia! - Brief Exposition: The DM sets the scene, detailing the party's current location and potential upcoming events. - Gameplay Time: We play some Dungeons & Dragons! - Session End: Closure on a cliffhanger or a well-timed conclusion, keeping the excitement alive. - Stars & Wishes: Feedback check-in where players share what they enjoyed and express their hopes for the next session. - Next Session Cliffhanger/Teaser: A post-session scene or teaser leaves players eager for what's next, fostering post-game discussions and excitement. (This is where the GM disconnects abruptly, letting what has said to set in and allowing the players to discuss the game without prying ears)
