Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
We will begin with session 0 to cover the creation of characters, safety tools, and initial plot threads. We will be using 2014 rules, races, classes, and backgrounds for this campaign.

How to prepare
Players will be required to have microphones and accounts on Forge and Discord to participate. It is recommended to use Chrome as the browser for the game's tabletop simulator foundry. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character. Here are links to the applications needed for the game. Forge VTT: https://forge-vtt.com/ Discord: https://discord.com/
What I provide
Expect well-crafted adventures, clear communication, goofy voices, rules knowledge, arbitration, advice, and help. All of this is geared toward making a fun and exciting experience for all types of players. I will have a discord server for communication, with foundry as the virtual tabletop for character sheets, visual aids, and more!
Gameplay details
The campaign will include violence that is common to D&D. X, N and O cards are accomplished with Red, Yellow, and Green light checks that players are encouraged to use when sensitive topics occur.
