About the adventure
Do you want to set sail, fight briny monsters, and uncover sinister truths of the depths? Then this campaign is for you! Explore the backwater fishing village of Saltmarsh! Although generally described as “nondescript”, adventure is never far away in this town. With factions working towards their own best version of the town, smugglers and pirates just off shore, and the ever present mysteries of the seas abounding, adventurers will find themselves busy! Campaign from level 1-12!

How to prepare
⚔️To join, you will need!⚔️ ✔️Discord account along with the Discord app on the computer you’re playing on. ✔️Access to Google Drive. ✔️A mic and webcam. ✔️Either an application on your computer or a notebook to take notes of important things that come up during the adventure. 🔹Dice, of course! The more the better as I like to say. For those without physical dice, I provide a digital way to roll dice. 🔹I will also send pictures of various things, so having some way to either print those out or saving them on your computer to have them on hand while playing would make the game run smoother as you or I will be referencing them at times.
What I provide
⚔️I think the most important thing that I want to bring to the table is making sure everyone at my table has a safe, inclusive, and fun gaming environment.⚔️ 🔹I will provide maps from the module where possible for visual aid! 🔹I prefer running a game with a good spread of roleplay and combat. For combat, I try and present tactical situations where there could be lots of possible ways to engage with enemies. I also love and encourage players coming up with creative solutions in and out of combat. 🔹I love doing character voices and encourage players to try it out themselves. It helps immerse everyone in the story and can be really fun! It is not a requirement, however. 🔹I believe the dice help tell the story, but also I want my players to feel cool, so I encourage and appreciate the Rule of Cool when it's planned in advance and/or supports the story.
Gameplay details
🛡️In addition to going over aspects of the game during Session 0, we will also go over the safety tools that will be used. We will talk about the use of XNO cards, the Open Door, and Stars and Wishes. 🛡️I will be sending prep-materials with a fillable PDF of an RPG consent checklist for me to keep as an ongoing reminder of what kinds of things the players do or don’t want to see in the game to make sure everyone has a fun time without worrying too much about feeling unsafe or uncomfortable.

How will character creation work
🔹Players will start at 1st level! 🔹Any way you like using character sheets is fine by me as long as you can provide me with pictures or copies of it. 🔹Stats will be decided by using the standard array or if you want rolled stats I have a way to digitally roll for stats that we’ll try to do before Session 0, just let me know! 🔹All sources are allowed for character creation using the 2014 rules! 🔹For the background of your character, I would encourage you to choose a background you like as there are ways to link you to the adventure scene. But also, there are new backgrounds in this adventure that will easily tie you in. Those details will be given out once you join the adventure!
