Portal Roulette: Turn of Fortune's Wheel | D&D Noir

How to prepare

You will need a working PC with a mic and probably a head-set. You will also need a discord account and join my discord (https://www.funlandia.org). All games will be hosted on my personal self-hosted Foundry server. D&D beyond is an excellent choice for character creation. If you need campaign resources they can be provided at no extra cost.

What I provide

My best asset is an extensive history of gamemastering. My approach to roleplaying is to create a complete experience for my players. The problem of "boring travel" is solved with a system of hex-crawling that allows for organic character growth, vivid lyrical immersion, and emergent storytelling. As a result, my sessions are much more focused on mystery, exploration, and social encounters than a typical "hack and slash" 5e campaign; and because the story is driven by the player choices, we will often go off-road of the module. I also voice-act most NPCs. 🌐I bring a complete, hand-crafted roleplaying experience with everything you need to fully immerse yourself, utilizing a huge array gaming assets that make each session with me run fluidly from scene to scene. ⚔️ Strategic combat is also a focus of my D&D games! Combat with multiple phases, changing terrain, interesting custom creatures, and environmental effects make each combat unique. ⌚ Players will collect downtime days every session (tracked and recorded for you!) along with enough GP to participate in downtime mini-games between sessions on the discord. Craft magic items, research mysterious occurrences, learn new proficiencies and more! 🖥️ I have a beautiful online gaming space powered by FoundryVTT and a host of quality-of-life modules to ensure an immersive player experience. I make custom visual aids and have a large library of thematically curated instrumental music that plays through the Foundry, dynamically adapting to the mood of each scene. I look forward to gaming with you soon!

Gameplay details

Player comfort and safety are my primary concern when gaming. For your safety, I provide the Monte Cook's consent in gaming form (optional); if you have specific triggers this is a good way to highlight them to me. If there is clarification needed, I can provide it on follow-up. I will be clear with content warnings on a per-session basis. Of course not all concerns can be addressed but if anything comes up in game typing "red card" or "x" in chat will prompt a fade to black and a check-in. It is my policy that player-versus-player action is forbidden unless everyone at the table consents. We're here to play a team and work together! This game is player-driven, meaning your character is free to pursue their ambitions and follow whichever leads they think are important. I view gaming as a collaboration, and your choices will have a meaningful impact on gaming. Whatever you pursue is what we will end up engaging with!

How will character creation work

Characters start this adventure at 3rd level using the standard point buy or array and the 5e 2024 rules. Most options from 2014 are also available. Each character has normal starting equipment plus 250 gp to spend on additional nonmagical gear. Each character also gains one uncommon magic item of the player’s choice, subject to approval. Each character in this unique yarn has three distinct incarnations. These incarnations share the same level and advance at the same time, but they can otherwise be as different or similar as you wish. Incarnations might use completely different character options, they might have different physical forms, or they might simply have cosmetic differences. You play only one incarnation at a time, switching incarnations when entering a new plane of existence. Characters of any origin are suited for this adventure. If you want to play a character who hails from Sigil, a gate-town, or other places where planar travel is common, consider using the character options in Sigil and the Outlands. I recommend using D&Dbeyond to generate your character. If you need access to campaign materials or any help with character generation, let me know!
