How to prepare

Technical Issue - All players must be able to reliably access and use the two digital mediums by which this game will be run upon. Those two digital mediums are Foundry VTT and Discord. Each player will have the use of these Mediums gone over with them during their intake session. With extra instructing add/giving to those to whom use of these Mediums may be a challenge. If after all best efforts have been made in good faith by both Player and Gm/ST and an inability to reliable access/use these two mediums. Then the player will be asked to leave the game, until such a time as they can utilize these Mediums to the best of their ability. Side note: This rule has also been expanded to include a reliable internet connection and possible even the use of a headphone and microphone if their normal means of communication is for some reason causing issues with reliable play. Side, side note: The GM/ST recognizes that some of us live in Florida, Texas, or other third-world counties/countries and sometimes things happen beyond your control. Players will not be punished for acts of God, Government, War, or missed internet payments. Things happen. But if said things are continuing to happen over and over again, then we will need to revisit the idea of said player taking a break from the game until reliable play can be established once more.

What I provide

What I Bring to the Game: I will bring a fully prepared module adventure, with custom maps, tokens, and content from Foundry Vtt and D&D Beyond. I in general prefer RPGing and fun over rules but will stick to them on most occasions. I do character voices, and custom A.i. art when I can find the time, and in general will use liberal use of the Rule of Cool. I also expect players to have fun, follow the rules of conduct, and keep open and honest communication between myself and the other players.
