What I provide

What you can expect: Maps, dice rolls, character sheets, and handouts will be on Roll20. Voice and music/ambient sounds will be over Discord. There is a dedicated discord channel for the game which will include areas for out of session role play, general session notes, lore and setting knowledge, and announcements. I will supply custom maps for most encounters and settings. The move to a map is not a sign that things will devolve into combat. Instead, there will be things on the map for you to take note of and use to your advantage. These maps are also more immersive with detail and color to make things interesting and show terrain and objects with which you can interact or use. I do create a written summary of each session on both the Roll20 game forum and on Discord for your personal enjoyment and/or review. Within the game, I will provide quality of life macros and mods to help smooth out game play. I assemble a soundtrack for each session to help with immersion and mood for the settings. You will find plenty of handouts to help with visualization and your reference further on in the campaign. I also supply a variety of tokens for NPCs and adversaries which assist with identification during encounters. Along with that, my NPCs are my characters in the game. Important NPCs have their own values, goals and objectives and will usually act with their own self-interest in mind. Do not expect creatures to fight to the last, nor will they purposefully try to exterminate you without cause. Most will attempt to flee when over matched and will not pursue characters who flee if it goes against their objectives or nature.

Gameplay details

The campaign will start with a session 0. My agenda for session 0 can be found here. My table rules can be found here. I will make X, N, and O cards available during the game for players to react to any objectionable content within the game. These will be anonymous and will provide us with a chance to dial back any objectionable content or figure out how to make the situation more suitable for all the players. Following sessions, I will be available for debriefing on the content of the session. Where needed, we will discuss the direction and where the content needs to be adapted or changed. I have a separate channel in the Discord server for the players to acknowledge the actions of others (Stars) and add wishes for opportunities, content, and/or action they would like to see moving forward (Wishes). As a matter of service, I am usually available at most times to have a discussion on aspects of the game you find either troubling or would like to see more often.

How will character creation work

We will create characters together during Session 0 using the 2024 rule set for DnD 5e. Source material will be the Player's Handbook (2024). We will roll (4d6dl1), with four players contributing a d6 roll for each attribute score to form a common pool of attribute scores which the players will use to create their characters. This gives the excitement of a random set of numbers but start all characters off with a common baseline. If the numbers are particularly low, I will have you re-roll one or two of the values. Please do come with a character concept and a brief (one page) background story of your character if you so desire. Additional requests for information from your back story will be given once your character has been made.
