About the adventure
Alright Howlers, get your wolf cloaks and your war hawks going, let's do this! We're going to the Institute. Which planet? Up to the party. What house? Also up to you. But we will be mirroring The Institute from Red Rising, with all the death, cruelty, and plotting involved. Using homebrewed races corresponding to Golds (and all the other colors, shhhh), we'll be trying to win the Institute, become Primus, or at least stay alive. There might also be a slight flavor of Werewolf, in that any one of the PCs could be a Son of Ares.

About me
Hi lads, lasses, and all ye besides! I’m Sam, I've been a DM for about 5 years, consumer of D&D shows for 10, and avid reader and artist for my life. I’m queer and AuDHD, and all of those identities are extremely welcome at my tables, as are any others. I intentionally take time to make each of my players feel safe, as well as endowing them with absurd amounts of creative agency. The only things not accepted or tolerated at my tables are bigotry, abuse, and anything that makes other players feel unsafe. Also, I’m an artificer in real life, which is the most fun way I can think of to say I make handmade TTRPG dice, character art, maps, and minis!

Creating your character
Everyone will start at 1st level, and we’ll do character creation as our first session. I’ll handle all of the books and math, all you need is your creativity, sense of humor, and joy. I use 4d6 drop the lowest for stats, but you can bring a pre-made character if it works!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We’ll do everything together! Webcam is only necessary if you want to be on screen, which is an option but not required. You will need a mic, speaker, or headphones, Discord, and a working internet browser, but all else is prepared!
What Sam brings to the table
I have custom-made maps, world-specific homebrews, and spreadsheets of 650 NPCs, as well as extensive plot lines. I've also read this entire series at least 4 times. In addition, I have an absurd amount of accents and voices, improv experience, and a well-honed D&D Beyond account. I've spent many years improving homebrew worlds for characters and players, and adore doing this. We’ll play Rule of Cool (as long as it doesn’t break the game) and all improved input and world-building is not only accepted but appreciated!
Homebrew rules
A huge amount of this campaign is homebrewed, including the species, backgrounds, and subclasses. The entire concept of magic must be justified if it is within your abilities. Several other things are homebrewed, such as medPacks can be an action or bonus action and everyone can use their object interaction to do an ability check. Other things will be decided on a case by case basis, and I will always listen to shenanigans.

How Sam creates a safe table
I’ll be sending everyone safety tools beforehand to make sure that all boundaries and triggers are respected. Session 0 will be intros and character creation help, and red/yellow/green cards will be used throughout, as well as the option to anonymously message me at any time. Breaks will be taken when needed, and there will be a debriefing afterward, as well as Stars and Wishes. All feedback is appreciated!
