What I provide

🟢 "Grimoires & Gallantry" Supplement — You'll receive a free 132-page .pdf homebrew system that I created specifically for this campaign. Built on D&D 5e and inspired by Wands & Wizards and Strixhaven, this supplement introduces unique mechanics, including an NPC reputation system and a Mana Point system that replaces traditional spell slots. 🟢 World Anvil Compendium — The World Anvil page is continuously updated with new information about the medieval wizarding world, serving as a growing hub for campaign lore and resources. 🟢 Proprietary Foundry VTT System — As a professional web developer, I've coded a custom Foundry VTT system in C# and JavaScript that is tailored to the rules I designed in the .pdf supplement, featuring custom Hogwarts House character sheets with relationship tracking and school schedule features. 🟢 Level 3 Discord Server — Stay connected with high-quality 384 kbps audio and 1080p 60FPS video streaming. Our server has dedicated channels for your game, session zero details, character journals, and community hangouts. Fully integrated with bots like KenkuFM for ambient music and sound effects, Avrae for seamless dice rolling, and a Question-Of-The-Day bot offering daily creative prompts for your character journal! 🟢 High-Definition & Custom Maps — I use high-definition maps from talented Patreon artists like CzePeku, Axtraxianbear, and Eightfold Paper, as well as custom animated maps I create with Dungeon Alchemist. I update each map to feature dynamic lighting, walls, animated effects, and token line-of-sight for immersive gameplay. I even include video landing pages in Foundry VTT for “loading” screens between combat encounters to give you a cinematic touch! 🟢 Custom Visual Design — I leverage my experience in design to craft tokens and visuals that fit each campaign’s unique style. With access to Adobe Creative Cloud, I design custom token frames to beautifully showcase your character art, and I’m always available to help add personalized touches to make your character stand out.

How will character creation work

🔵 Mid-Campaign Session Zero — A one-on-one session is required for character creation and set-up before your first session with the group. I will give you a campaign breifing and then guide you through the character creation process on Foundry VTT. We will finalize your character details and personal quest, and add your character's information to the Current Player Character page on our World Anvil. Expect this session to last about 1.5-2 hours. Don't forget to bring a notepad to take some notes! 🔵 Character Concept — Before your Session Zero, please review the Character Creation Guidelines in the Session Zero Discord channel. Familiarize yourself with the "Grimoires & Gallantry" .pdf rules and the lore on our World Anvil. Using that information, create a basic character concept, choose your Hogwarts House, and brainstorm some ideas for your personal quest. Be flexible with your personal quest idea and be prepared to workshop it with me to fit within our world. 🔵 Flexible Starting Level — New players can start at the same year and level as the current party or choose to be in a lower year and level.
