About the adventure
Welcome to Windrose*, the center of the world! This is a high fantasy (with some magitech (modern amenities powered by spell slots)) game using the Dungeons & Dragons 5e(2024) ruleset. All are welcome in the city of Windrose! Get ready to explore a sprawling city with a special surprise in store in this Play by Post (asynchronous) D&D game. Will you be the one to discover the city's ancient secret? Come find out! Players will receive invitations to my discord server where we will play the game using Avrae and Owlbear Rodeo. Session 0 is free of charge and will be a virtual meeting. *This game is an homage to Terry Pratchett's Ahnk-Morpork from the Discworld series of books, so if you're a fan of his then this might be the game for you!

About me
A veteran gamer and LARPer for over 25 years, I am always open to playing any system that you might be interested in. As a GM/DM I am fair and happy to entertain house rules and adjustments to magic items and the like. The more involved the players are in the creation of the campaign the better, in my opinion. I love hosting games as much as playing them, and look forward to playing with all of you!

Creating your character
You can either make a character ahead of time or wait to build it during the session 0. Here are the creation rules: 6th level character using 2024 rules with stats rolled either in Avrae or elsewhere, using the standard of rolling 4d6 and keeping the highest 3 results from each roll to create your stats. You are allowed 2 uncommon magic items and 1 rare item, as well as starting gold. There is a lot of money in Windrose, and lots of opportunities to acquire what you need, so you can start with 250 gold. We will be uploading the characters to Avrae and creating avatars in Tupperbox for playing purposes, so that will need to be set up as part of the character creation process.
Feel free to play whatever you like! The city Watch is a big employer if you want to be a member or contractor for them, as well. You can choose a faction when you start, or you can join one as we go along, or you can stay unaligned, it is up to you but the options are there. Each faction has its pluses and minuses to joining, but none are completely negative. All of this information is available in the setting information on my discord server.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
An active Discord account, an Owlbear Rodeo (free) account, and your character concept.
What Zatatmando(Lee) brings to the table
We will be using Owlbear Rodeo for our VTT, and I will either create the maps that we need or get them from one of the Patreon creators that I support. Tokens will be in similar fashion, though they will mostly be handmade. I have a Google sheet for character creation on my Discord site that you can use instead of DnDbeyond. A little bit about my GM style: I definitely stick to the Rule of Cool over the rules as written, and am happy to entertain homebrew ideas. My combat is not intense but with a VTT there is definitely some tactics opportunities. Every day I will share an ambient track that you can play while reading the storyboard channel for better immersion.

Safety
How Zatatmando(Lee) creates a safe table
As far as safety goes we will discuss it all during the Session 0 call. Lines and Veils will be established, and other safety rules will be gone over. X, N, and O will be used as emojis on the post that needs to be edited or removed. Since this will be asynchronous, we will occasionally do breaks (about once a week) and do debriefs as needed. There will be an Out of Character (OOC) channel on the Discord server as well where you can let me know if something needs to be changed about the game or just about a recent post.
