Hecate Hospital | Medical Soap Opera meets D&D 5e | RP Heavy
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
*Grey's Anatomy meets Fantasy High* Welcome to Hecate Castle, the Kingdom of Kalendia's premium hospital and medical academy. Under the oversite of the castle's matron, the wizard Hecate Lourdes, fighters set down their rapiers and pick up scalpels. Barbarians hack off limbs to save lives. Wizards and clerics study the mysteries of the multiverse together to find new ways to cure wounds and treat diseases. Rogues and paladins provide emergency care to people in dangerous places. And warlocks help navigate the most evil of lawful entities: for-profit medical insurance. This RP-heavy campaign blends the drama and hijinks of a medical soap opera with the excitement and magic of a fantasy world. Will you spend the day fighting a dragon or fighting with your crush's ex? Either option is just as likely at Hecate Hospital!

How to prepare
Players need to have a camera and a mic, as well as a Google Account. Additionally, they also need to build their character sheets on DnD Beyond.
What I provide
I will host the game on Google Meet, with character sheets being created via DnD Beyond. Encounters will be done using Theater of the Mind. Off-session questions will happen via Discord I do character voices to help me keep the various NPCs straight in my head. I think they're pretty good, but I'll let you be the judge. Ambient music will be discussed during Session 0. I very much support the "Rule of Cool.". I strongly encourage players to attempt shenanigans. When judgement is called for, I typically rule towards what makes the most sense for the story and characters, over what best fits the wording of the rules. Having said that, I believe that following the rules keeps stories more consistent, and don't mind rules lawyering at the table. If you believe I'm interpreting a rule incorrectly, make your case.
Gameplay details
In Session 0, we will be sure to have a moment to go over any triggers or sources of discomfort players have so I can avoid them during gameplay. I will maintain an open door policy for any player who has concerns during games. I will also provide a post-session talk where layers can bring up any concerns they have.

How will character creation work
PREMADE CHARACTER SHEETS AVAILABLE. Because of the nature of the game, all characters will start at level 1. We will do Standard Array for stats. All official species are allowed, and I am open to homebrew species with discussion. No encumbrance. Classes' functions are suggestions, and I am open to alternative functions if you have alternative ideas. Suggested functions in the hospital are as follows: Fighter & barbarian - Surgery Medical-based spellcaster builds: General Medicine Bards - Plastic Surgery, Psychology Druids - Holistic Medicine Wizards - Research Warlocks - Patient Advocates (usually against devils) Artificers - Medical Tech Paladins and Rogues - EMTs/Fire Department Rangers - Pharmacists Bear in mind, that classes are not being replaced, merely supplemented (i.e., Fighters will still need to fight, they will just also do surgery). The first two planned sessions will be focused on orientation. All characters have proficiency in Medicine.
