Dunein's Lost Mines of Phandelver Session 0/1 D&D5E

How to prepare

Please read the free rule book on DnDbeyond or another source, review and complete the questionnaire that will be sent out before the game begins. Create DnDbeyond account (no need to pay for anything) Join the discord for the campaign Test your equipment before the start of the session, does your microphone and or Camera work properly? Ask questions, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will enjoy helping you out.

What I provide

I will be utilizing the D&D Beyond map systems, with both published and home created maps for use in the game. Your Characters will be in a DNDbeyond campaign where you will create them and manage them. We will be using Discord to communicate, I encourage video but it is not necessary. I encourage group story telling and collaboration over sticking to the rules and running the game by the book. Summary of Sessions: Session 0/1: Session 0 and discussion of game expectations, Character Creation, discuss backstory, bonds and come up with a group name. Then we begin the adventure and start rolling dice and role playing. The first session is a test drive of sorts, if you finish the session and do not want to play a human fighter, please let me know and we can make a one time change before session 2. Session 2-6: Full sessions begin, we will start with any Q&A before, as well as any character changes. I like to start off with a get to know your character better question for everyone. Expect to play for the full 3 hours at this point. Please be courteous of others and be ready to play at the schedule time. When we are close to schedule time slot for ending, roughly 15 minutes prior, I will asses where we are and make a determination and poll the group if we are going to end early or extend possibly. I will always plan for three hours of content to be covered, however sometimes things can become side tracked, I will communicate that if we end up doing additional quests or stray away from the main story line we may have to go an additional session to complete the quest. When I create a new session for postings I will ensure returning players have priority and wish to keep the same group together. If you are a group that want to play together please message me and let me know I am willing to work with existing groups.

Gameplay details

Welcome, to session 0! Session 0/1 is where we discuss our wants for how we want the game to run, I typically will send out a questionnaire / Table Rules before we begin that has things like; 1. What is the one or two things you want to do in character in the game? (I.E. Slay a dragon, find an awesome magical talking sword, save a village from danger) 2. As well as are there certain areas and topics you wish to avoid playing out in the game. 3. I will also in this document have my Lines & Veils (my no go areas), as well as my table rules. 4. We will discuss respect for everyone at the table and how we best demonstrate that respect to others. (aftercare / XN&O) Feedback During & Out of Session After every session I usually am open for feedback and ask everyone in game, however in discord I am always open for feedback. Please note that conversations outside of game sessions may take some time for a response depending on my schedule. During the game session, I encourage everyone to share respectfully with the group and or message me separately if there is an issue that is occurring. If there is tonal shift in what is occurring in the game I will have a short of out game talk that will describe that the tone is going to change.
