How to prepare

Players will need a microphone, webcam is optional. Players will need a free Discord account, and are encouraged to use the application version of Discord. Players do not need to download any software to use Foundry, other than their internet browser.

What I provide

I bring my Foundry VTT account, maps and token art curated from the internet and several artist I support on Patreon, and occasional custom art which I commission. I utilize background music through a stream on Discord, which allows players to opt into my musical selection. If you wish to not have the background music you do not need to hear it, and likewise, you can adjust its volume independently of the voices of everyone in the call.

Gameplay details

This system is one in which Player Character Death is expected as part of the experience, while characters are not AS fragile as they are in some other OSR systems, PC death can certainly occur. Your HP will be lower than in D&D 5e for one, and being reduced to 0HP makes a PC Mortally Wounded, with Death occurring if they take any additional damage, or nobody is able to successfully heal them within 6 rounds. Additionally encounters will not be "balanced." It is up to player skill to determine when to fight, when to talk, and when to flee. Otherwise, I am open to discussing what other content players are comfortable with. While a certain level of violence is inherent to how I run my games, if a player wishes avoidance of certain themes, creatures (ex. Spiders), etc, I am completely open to those sorts of requests, either during Session 0 or in a private message. We will discuss the themes of the campaign in Session 0. Regardless, I can say that certain bigotries; homophobia, sexism, transphobia, will not be depicted. These are simply not topics that will be explored in the game. The X cards are digital within the Foundry page for the campaign, displaying in the chat window, and can be used anonymously. Instructions for their use will be given during Session 1, and whenever a new player joins. We always have at least one 5 minute break during session, usually at roughly the half-way point. More can be requested as needed.

How will character creation work

Characters will be created together in Session 0. Players joining later, will need to schedule a time to meet with me to make their character outside of session, if they are not familiar with the system.
