Middle Earth Series: Stone Troll Encounter

Creating your character

You will need a 6th level character for this adventure, created on DnD Beyond, a campaign link will be provided. If you’re comfortable making your own character use the link to join with one of your own OR if you’d prefer I can provide one to your specifications. The entire game will be played from within Foundry VTT, make sure to set your character visibility to public so that Foundry can view your character and import it into the game. Character creation should be ready 30 mins before the game begins so I can make sure they are fully integrated into Foundry, however I will be available during this time in case anyone needs help finishing their set up. As this adventure takes place in Middle Earth, please stick to races and classes that fit in that setting. The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying book has some good examples and should be available to you through content sharing if you don't already have it. As this is a one shot, I want everyone to have as much control over creating their own character as possible, so feel free to use your preferred stat distribution method, however if you do want to roll, you must do your rolls on DnD Beyond through the character builder. You have 5 points to spend on magic items (common=1pt, rare=2pt, very rare=3pt, legendary=7pt)

Preparing for the session

You will need an account with DnD Beyond and Discord. A link will be provided in advance to my discord server, you will need a mic. The game will be played from within Foundry, you do not need an account, I will provide a link to join the game a few minutes before we start. Your character must be set to publicly visible on DnD Beyond and should be ready no later than 30 mins to game time, unless you are arriving early for help.

How Rose creates a safe table

This game is all ages and should be kept pg13. There is no heavy thematic content and is meant to be light hearted and FUN. **Any players who cannot respect the boundaries of others will be removed. This game is an inclusive space, any bullying or hate will not be tolerated.** We will have a brief group discussion before we begin where we introduce our characters. If you also want to introduce yourself feel free to do so, but do not feel obligated. I will refer to everyone by their character’s names and pronouns and I encourage the players to do the same. If there is anything you are concerned about and feel comfortable sharing now is the time to do so… HOWEVER, if you have more private concerns that you’re not comfortable sharing publicly, please message me before we begin. If you feel comfortable sharing privately, I will make sure your concerns are addressed anonymously during the introduction, alternatively, for more serious concerns, you can provide me a code word that you can either say or message to me privately during the game and I will know to shift the focus of the game and/or conversation.
