Knows the Rules
I'm a beginner and egonaught really does his best to make me feel at home and is always there for any question. The sessions are fun with sound and pictures to help with visualization, and there's a lot of room for the players to drive the conversation/game wherever they want. ("If you were to decide to just become pirates then that's what we do")
Encourages and includes player character's stories into the campaign which aids in immerse the players. Sessions are run smoothly and the DM creates an environment where player's feel as if he is working with them to create a great story. NPCs are given their own unique voices which help differentiate them and the game allows for a lot of player agency.
I really enjoy Ego's campaign for its immersiveness and storytelling. The visual of Foundry are great. The combat encounters are challenging and demanding. The NPCs are memorable and feel alive. The DM provides all players with spotlight and ability to shine and roleplay. All you wish to have in DND campaign you'll find here. Strongly recommend.

How to prepare
Players should β source a microphone external to the speakers of their PC or Mac (I can recommend one if you need to source a reasonably priced one); β have a PC or Mac that is capable of joining the Foundry VTT reliably; β sign-up for a D&D Beyond account if you do not have one (it is free to do so); β sign-up for a Discord account if you do not have one (it is free to do so); β agree with the Group on who will take notes (I always advise it with any Campaign, even if they're just a set of key points); β remember that this is a game; β be clear with their expectations without being discourteous; β see this as an opportunity to learn from one another as well as to teach.
What I provide
π I bring with me 40 years of experience as a GM. π The games I run are generally immersive and story rich, with both film noir and epic fantasy influences. π Combats are less frequent but often brutal affairs. NPCs will usually therefore assume you will role-play with them first (most don't want to die either). π Those NPCs of significance will have some limited agency to respond to the Party's actions; this isn't a static environment. π I am not a voice actor AND I will do as many voices as I can, particularly to NPCs of significance to help you gain a sense of them. π Access to the Foundry VTT on which you will find all the rules you need as a player, along with all of the maps/tokens/audio required to run this Campaign; π A Discord server that will be used audio and text discussion; Heroes are forged in the white heat of adversity. In the beginning, you are nobodies. As the Campaign goes on, you slowly rise to meet the challenge that the Gods themselves have placed before you. I will cheer you on, but silently as the Gods are known to be jealous masters :)
