Our D&D isekai adventure: Is there a way back to my soft bed!

Creating your character

Character Creation Process: During our initial Session 0, I will facilitate a collaborative character creation session for the players who are present at that time. This will allow them to work together to establish their characters, discuss concepts, backgrounds, and motivations, and decide on mechanical aspects. Private Character Creation: For players who join the campaign later, or for those who prefer a more private character creation process, I will provide the option for them to create their characters separately. They can work with me individually to develop their character sheets, backgrounds, and abilities in a way that aligns with the campaign. Flexibility: I understand that some players may have specific preferences for character creation, and I aim to accommodate those preferences. Whether it's a collaborative group creation or a private session, my goal is to ensure that each player feels comfortable and has the opportunity to contribute to the development of their character. Session 0 Fee: To ensure the commitment of players and the success of the campaign, I have a Session 0 fee policy. Session 0 is free for active players, but a fee of $12 per player will apply if they decide not to continue with the campaign after Session 0. This policy helps maintain the integrity of our group and ensures genuine investment in our gaming experience.

Preparing for the session

Before we dive into our DND session, let's get all set up for a good time. Grab your favorite snacks and drinks so you can stay in the game without interruptions. We'll be using Discord and Roll20 for our gaming fun, so here's what you'll need: - Discord: You'll need a microphone for sure, but don't worry, using a webcam is totally optional. It's all about what you're comfortable with. - Roll20: Make sure you have a trusty laptop or PC handy because Roll20 doesn't play nice with phones or tablets. Having everything ready in advance ensures we can jump right into the adventure without any hiccups.

What GM Mellodie brings to the table

As the game master for our online sessions, I'll be making sure everything is set up for a fantastic gaming experience. Here's what I'll bring to the virtual table: Dice and Mechanics: - While players are welcome to use their real dice, I'll have multiple bots at the ready that can handle dice rolls and mechanics to keep the game flowing smoothly. Character Art Assistance: - I can help players find suitable art for their characters before the game begins, ensuring that everyone has a visual representation of their hero or heroine. Maps and Puzzles: - I'll come prepared with maps and puzzles to challenge the party during our adventures. These visual aids will help immerse you in the world and add depth to our storytelling. Monsters and Encounters: - Don't worry; I won't forget the monsters! I'll be managing all the creatures, non-player characters, and encounters to keep the action exciting and engaging. Music and Atmosphere: - I'll have a selection of background music and sound effects queued up to enhance the atmosphere and make our sessions even more immersive. While I won't be providing physical maps or illustrations post-game, I'll ensure that our virtual gaming experience is rich and memorable, with everything you need for an epic adventure right at your fingertips.

How GM Mellodie creates a safe table

As the game master, I prioritize the safety and comfort of all players during our sessions. While I may not use Lines and Veils specifically, I do make it a point to discuss triggers and ask players about any potential sensitivities they may have. This open dialogue allows us to establish boundaries and ensure a positive gaming experience. During our free Session 0, we discuss character creation, campaign setting, and player expectations. We also take the time to talk about triggers and any specific steps I can take to avoid them, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and respected throughout the game. After each session, we engage in aftercare to check in with players, discuss concerns, and provide support as needed. We continue to use X, N, and O cards, which can be digital or physical, to communicate boundaries, discomfort, or consent during the game. Our table remains open to players of all backgrounds, experience levels, and ages, with respect and inclusivity as our primary rules. This creates an environment where everyone feels safe and can fully participate in the adventure. This game will be recorded and may be posted, by joining you give consent to this and are okay with your voice getting recorded. (no video will be recorded only character avatars).
