About the adventure
A great introductory series of adventures for players interested in picking up AD&D 2e. Set in the world of Greyhawk, this 3 part series will take adventurers from levels 1-5. "Desolate and abandoned, the evil alchemist's mansion stands alone on the cliff, looking out towards the sea. Mysterious lights and ghostly hauntings have kept away the people of Saltmarsh, despite rumors of fabulous forgotten treasure. What is its sinister secret?"

About me
I have been GMing games since the early-mid 90's with AD&D2e and have been a 'Forever DM' ever since. In 2018 I picked up the Virtual Tabletop (VTT) Fantasy Grounds to start running games from home and have been running an average of 8 games a month ever since. I use Fantasy Grounds VTT to bring players an immersive in-game experience. I take advantage of the streamlined automation tools to make combat a breeze, utilize line of sight(LoS) features and map effects to bring the table to life, and Syrinscape to create live-in-game sounds effects and ambiance. Not only do I bring years of experience as a Fantasy Grounds GM, but I also volunteer my free time to teach the software to new players. So if you are a new or old player alike I can bring you a fun, immersive experience for any game and am available between game sessions to help get you on the path to Start Playing.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be done one-on-one with DM Greg. Players will create ability scores using the 4d6 drop the lowest and assign it as the desired method. The AD&D2e Players Handbook and brown 'The Complete...' accessory books are accepted. We will allow for Kits.
We will be using the AD&D2e ruleset with kits and character options from the brown 'Complete'. Ability scores will be generated using a pool of 6 scores by rolling 4d6, dropping the lowest, and assigning as desired. Session one will be half-price. In it, we will introduce ourselves and our characters and learn more about the world we will be playing in.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need the VTT Fantasy Grounds downloaded to their personal computer and a free account created. The free Demo account is all that you will need and can be downloaded for Windows, Mac, or Linux at www.fantasygrounds.com We will also be using Discord for game-time voice and between-game text communications.
What DM Greg brings to the table
I will have an ultimate license of Fantasy Grounds to host free demo accounts. All of the required books in Fantasy Grounds for character creation. An upgraded Discord server for improved voice. And a Syrinscape super subscription for streaming sounds and effects.

Safety
How DM Greg creates a safe table
At session 0 we will introduce ourselves and discuss the tropes and themes of the campaign. The X, N, and O cards are integrated into the VTT for anonymous notification to the GM. X cards will fade the scene or tabletop discussion to black as we will take a forced break. An N card will notify the GM if the scene or tabletop discussion is uncomfortable and the GM will do their best to get the game back on track. If corrected by the GM the player can send an O card letting the GM know they are good. Or, if the GM cannot correct the N card the player will send an X card.
