Gameplay details

Players will have a one-on-one conversation with DM concerning any Lines & Veils and be given open room to express any relevant information beforehand. Afterwards is added to a community server and given a role that determines if they receive pings for available games (optional). During sessions, players are invited to verbally or text communicate upon any discomfort or concerns that arise. Sessions contain voice & virtual tabletop provided by the DM, and require Voice from the players (video is optional). These sessions are a safe place for neurodivergent players and those with audio processing disorders as conversational systems will be in place to make sure we can all be comfortable and communicate. Sessions will use digital maps with miniture tokens representing characters during combat scenes, with digital or physical dice rolling (players choice!). Most non-combat scenes will take place in theater of the mind with supported art when possible. Players can expect: A blended environment where they will be encouraged to talk and act in character. There is no penalty for not doing so, but immersion & engagement is appreciated. Players can expect frequent, moderately challenging combat which may involve long periods of waiting and active listening during other players turns. Depending on the complexity of the player's class they may need to spend additional time working on character and leveling. Players will be engaged in a multitude of different methods of play to ensure that each session is diverse and interesting. Interactions will range anywhere from puzzles, riddles, dungeon crawls, and combat.

How will character creation work

~This campaign and its rules are intended to be used with the 2014 rule set in mind, and the alterations that have come in supplemental rule books since such as Tasha’s and Xanathar’s. This being said, characters created with the 2024 Rules will be welcomed at our table! ~ Characters will be created at level 6, with max HP and a total of 2 feats (replaces any feats granted by other character creation options) ~ Stat array: Standard ~ Characters have starting equipment defined by their class and background as well 1000g worth of equipment and supplies. ~Characters must be created through Roll20 following their guided process or manual input. ~ UA and home-brew is allowed and encouraged, play the character you want to play! ~Ideally characters are crafted through communication with me via discord prior to session, however 30+ minutes are set aside before start time of sessions to work on technical difficulties or character questions.
