What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to be aware that we will be using the 2024 players handbook which I will share via dndbeyond. You will also need to make a discord account if you don’t already have one. Once you join I will send you links and help get you up and running.
What Last brings to the table
I have a discord set up with various discord tools for npcs and dice rolling. I use D&D beyond for character sheets and character creation. I use art and music to help set the mood.

Expect to forge complex relationships—rivalries, friendships, alliances, and even romances—throughout your journeys.

You will face epic battles with vast armies and embark on grand adventures across sprawling landscapes, where your characters will leave lasting legacies.
