Your Legend in the Golden Land | A D&D 5e Desert City Campaign

Creating your character

𓆃 1-on-1 Session: I offer a personalized 45-90 minute session to discuss your fantasy, vision, and backstory. For new players, this includes a guided character creation session. 𓆃 Pre-Made Character Sheets: I provide pre-made character sheets for beginners or those short on time. However, I strongly encourage creating your own character. 𓆃 Platform: Characters will be created using DnDBeyond. 𓆃 Ability Scores: We use Point Buy with 27 points. For HP, roll and reroll 1s; level 1 starts at max HP. 𓆃 Starting Feat: At level 1, you may choose a free Feat with some restrictions. 𓆃 Allowed Content: All Races and Classes are allowed except Variant Humans. Core Sources and Critical Role are permitted 𓆃 Handout: An optional handout covers all classes and common races, useful for inspiration. 𓆃 Homebrew: I am open to discuss, but I reserve the right to decline it. 𓆃 Backgrounds: Choose any Background. I'll integrate your Background Feature into the campaign. Custom backgrounds can be discussed. You must forego the free level 1 Feat if your preferred Background grants a Feat.

Preparing for the session

𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆 𓂅 Microphone 𓂅 Stable internet 𓂅 Quiet play area; good noise cancellation, excellent ninja-muting skills, push to talk, or a combination of the three 𓂅 A webcam is highly highly highly recommended, but nonetheless optional ಥ‿ಥ 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒔 𓂅 Roll20, DnDBeyond and Discord. All free accounts 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕 𓂅 Be kind and patient 🌸 𓂅 Bring a collaboration-focused mindset both to the table and to your character. Focus on characters that flourish in cooperative play, propping your party up rather than one-upping them. 𓂅 Collaborative attitude towards the DM; I am here to make you shine, but to do that I need you to talk to me about your vision 💗
