Creating your character

Character creation is a collaborative effort at my table. You can either come to me with a character and we can discuss how it will work in the setting. Or you can create a character with me to guide you. I make sure to take back stories into account when I run campaigns but this is not a requirement as some characters develop their own back stories over the course of a campaign.

Preparing for the session

You'll need a DnDBeyond character sheet, a Discord account, a microphone, a note book, snacks and your charming self. Optionally you can also use your webcam, and have physical dice if you prefer to roll that way. You can use fidget toys if you need but cell phones are discouraged at the table. We respect each others time and participation in session.

What Joannah Stewart brings to the table

I will bring battle maps, music, and a fun experience for my players.

Homebrew rules

1. Drinking a potion is a bonus action, pouring it down someone else's throat is an action. 2. Critical Hits and Fumbles: When a player rolls a natural 20 on an attack roll, they roll double the dice. Conversely, when a player rolls a natural 1, they automatically miss. 3. Everyone levels at the same time by milestone. 4. Players use standard array or point buy for character creation. 5. Help action. Only one player may roll to attempt an outcome for the party like disarming a trap. They may receive “help” from another player if that player is proficient in the relevant skill. The first player gets advantage on their roll. 6. Whatever players can do, the DM can do too.

How Joannah Stewart creates a safe table

Players will receive a Lines and Veils document before session 0. X, N and O's are digital and you can message me privately or do it in the open chat on Alchemy. Your comfort and the comfort of everyone at my table is of utmost importance. Players can expect dangerous combat encounters with less focus on rules and more focus on play. This is a description heavy setting where roleplay is encouraged and there will be a lot of opportunity for it. But there's no need to put on voices, simple descriptions will do just fine.
