Additional details
How to prepare
Players will be required to have a mic, discord and to have a stable internet connection. The only rules I ask you know are the one's involving your character. I am very familiar with most of the rules and I am always willing to help explain and streamline things for my players. I have ran with many new players and I am pretty confident in taking on and teaching new players.
What I provide
I will run this on foundry VTT hosted by the Forge. I have all the art, battlemaps, and cities setup for everyone. I am no voice actor, however, I am adept enough to do some different voices. I aim to have tactical games that are lethal if the players face things they are not prepared for or if they enact not very well thought out plans. However, It should be easy if the players properly prepare and investigate. I find this style rewards players for investing into Role Play elements and engaging with each other for more strategy. My philosophy is to focus on Rules as Written with exceptions. To elaborate, if something sounds cool and the player has invested skills, feats, consumables, or resources to accomplish something then I feel that it should be rewarded in some manner, so long as, it doesn't break immersion. I also do not mind working with you if you have a cool idea or theme for your character even if it isn't explicitly allowed in the rules.
Gameplay details
I will host a free session 0 to discuss expectations at the table and to give time for everyone to collaborate on making a cohesive party and possibly tie their backstories together or with the main plot of the campaign.
