World of Tethir | Long-term campaign from 2 to X Level

Creating your character

I am generally inclined on using the official DnDBeyond available Races and classes that I will be sharing access to with players, so they don't need to buy any of the source books. However, if a player has an idea of a character based on the homebrew class that is listed on the DnDBeyond Platform, I am very eager to check it. The general rules of the character creation: - Starting from level 2 - Point-buy system - Basic adventuring equipment with the addition of special items based on the character backstory. It is highly advisable for the players to have their backstories linked to at least one of the places on the campaign map: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/tethir-poiles/map/0db88f5b-492b-47a4-a5d0-16ed74c35b2f I will help each player to create a fitting backstory for the character

Preparing for the session

We will use Discord.gg for communication and it is very important for all of us to have their camera's ON and to have a good microphone. That really helps to establish a friendly and collaborative playing environment. Players are advised to take notes during the campaign to remember key NPC and locations The player will need an account on DnDBeyond.com for his character sheet. If you are a beginner, do not worry about remembering all the rules of 5e, as I will be guiding you though each of the elements of the gameplay.

What Mikalai brings to the table

I will be sharing the materials that I own on DnDBeyond with the players, which include almost all of the existing Sourcebooks. For battles we will also use newly developed battlefield which is integrated into DnDBeyond. The appropriate to the moment music will be played on the background during the game. When it comes to rules, I do not lead the game rules as written 100%, as some of the most incredible moments in this hobby were when Rule of Cool was used. However it doesn't mean the character can just say "I jump from the airship, that is high in the sky, and land unharmed" (even though he has no means of doing that, other than fall to death). Everything has it's limits. I value when players use their tactical wit against the opponent, that also tries their best. The players should always remember that DM doesn't play against the party, he is just another enjoyer, but with more responsibility and authority over the game.

How Mikalai creates a safe table

I'd like to have a session 0 where I'd in details describe how I see the our campaign set up.
