How to prepare
Create a first-level character (I am here for all help and will help you through every step of the way if need be). Create a free and quick account at The Forge (I will provide a link). Have a webcam (optional), mic, and good internet connection. That is all! After that, you are ready to rock!
What I provide
We’ll be using FoundryVTT for immersive, high-quality maps, hosted on The Forge (a quick and free setup). I subscribe to the best animated map creators out there, ensuring stunning, dynamic battlefields that bring every encounter to life. I run challenging yet rewarding combat, mostly sticking to rules-as-written, with a dash of "rule of cool" to keep the action exciting. Expect NPCs with distinct voices, personalities, and motivations, making the world feel truly alive and immersive.

We will go through everything in session zero to outline the game and what to expect. We will also do Stars and Wishes at the end of each session to be able to provide feedback to myself and other players. If at anytime you are uncomfortable with what is going on, please let me know. We are all here to have fun together!
