Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Additional details

How to prepare

Players will be required to have microphones and accounts on Forge and Discord to participate. It is recommended to use Chrome as the browser for the game's tabletop simulator foundry. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character. Here are links to the applications needed for the game. Forge VTT: https://forge-vtt.com/ Discord: https://discord.com/

What I provide

Expect well-crafted adventures, clear communication, goofy voices, rules knowledge, arbitration, advice, and help. All of this is geared toward making a fun and exciting experience for all types of players. I will have a discord server for communication, with foundry as the virtual tabletop for character sheets, visual aids, and more!

Gameplay details

The campaign will include violence that is common to D&D. X, N and O cards are accomplished with Red, Yellow, and Green light checks that players are encouraged to use when sensitive topics occur.

How will character creation work

Character creation will occur during new campaign sessions or beforehand for existing campaigns, with discussions available via messaging on Discord. All characters will start at level 3 for the initial session and will be adjusted accordingly for subsequent sessions. Character details can be finalized before the game begins and having a brief idea of the four is encouraged: Class, Background, Race, and one Feat. All characters will be hosted on a Foundry server.
