Echoes of the Lost Gods: Dragonlance

How to prepare

-Yes, having a webcam and mic is essential for our sessions. This helps with communication, immersion, and overall interaction during gameplay. -Players will need to create a Hero Forge account for character creation, a Roll20 account for accessing character sheets and game resources, and a Discord account for communication and session management. These tools will be integral to our sessions. -It’s helpful to familiarize yourself with the core rules, but in-depth reading isn’t necessary before our first session. We’ll go over any specific rules or mechanics relevant to the campaign during our Session 0. -Yes, character creation will be part of our pre-game preparation. Players will work one-on-one with me to create their characters on Roll20, ensuring they’re tailored to the campaign and ready for the adventure to begin.

Gameplay details

Will you be sending a link to your Lines and Veils document? Yes, I have a Google Drive where I keep my Lines and Veils document. I’ll share the link with you so you can review it before we start. What will you go over in Session 0? In Session 0, we’ll cover several important topics to ensure a smooth and enjoyable game for everyone. This includes discussing our Lines and Veils, setting expectations for the campaign, and reviewing any safety tools or preferences. We’ll also go over character creation, game rules, and any other details necessary for setting up our adventure. This meeting can be held on Discord or in person if we’re all local. How do you do aftercare? Aftercare is important to me, and I make sure to check in with everyone to address any concerns or feelings after our sessions. This can be done through digital communication or in person, depending on what works best for the group. My goal is to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and supported throughout the campaign. Are your X, N, & O's digital, messaged, or held up on video? The X, N, & O’s (or safety tools) will be discussed and documented digitally, typically through shared documents or messaging platforms. We can also review them during our sessions to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

How will character creation work

Will this happen during the first session, or before it starts? -Character creation and discussions about campaign details will typically happen before the first session. We’ll go over character creation, backgrounds, and any specific details in our Session 0 to ensure everyone is ready to dive into the adventure from the very first game. How will stats be decided? -Stats will be decided using standard array, 4d6s take out the slowest, or if we are feeling lucky just a d20 depending on what best suits the campaign and the group’s preferences. We’ll discuss these options in Session 0 to ensure everyone has a clear understanding and agreement. What will their starting level be? -Characters will start at level 1. This allows for a more immersive and progressive development of abilities and story, fitting the campaign’s narrative. Where will the characters be created? -Characters will be created using Roll20 character sheets, which you can access and update at any time. This platform will help keep everything organized and easily accessible throughout the campaign. Are there any specific books they should or shouldn't refer to? -For this campaign, it’s best to focus on the core rulebooks (Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual) and any specific sourcebooks or supplements I mention. Avoid relying on homebrew or third-party content that isn’t approved for this campaign to ensure consistency and balance in the game.
