DONE-01a Almost Gone to Hell (2 hour)

Creating your character

Group activity during Session Zero with possible pre-session work by individual players if the group agrees to that.

Preparing for the session

SESSION ZERO: Be prepared to discuss what you like and don't like, what you're looking forward to, any "Must haves", "Must not haves", your player character preferences, and any questions you have for me as DM or your fellow players. FIRST SESSION: a) Review the Session Zero notes, b) prepare any questions you want to cover before we begin play, c) have your character sheet as ready to play as you can, d) remember virtual or real dice, e) grab a snack and a drink or two. SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS: a) Review the notes from the previous session, b) prepare any questions you want to cover before we begin play, c) have your character sheet as ready to play as you can (leveled up, spells up to date), d) remember virtual or real dice, e) grab a snack and a drink or two.

What Fungeon Master Justin brings to the table

As your GM, my primary goal is to make sure everyone has a great time, including me! I recognize that every group is different and that the preferences of each group also vary. That's why we'll spend plenty of time in our Session Zero making sure I understand the group's likes and dislikes, preferences and boundaries, and what they are looking for from the adventure. This campaign is based on a story I originated and have been developing for the last five years. I've already run it with two independent groups who ran it to completely different conclusions. I'm sure your group will put their own spin on it as well. THE BASICS VIRTUAL/REMOTE: I use D&D Beyond and grant all player characters assigned to my campaign full access to all relevant materials. I also provide custom story content, original (my own) and AI-generated NPC, location, and item illustrations, and lots and lots of detailed big and small maps, as well as PDF post-game session notes for every episode. Video recordings may be available if the group is open to it. IN PERSON (Puget Sound area only): For those of us lucky enough to play together in person, I also provide battle maps, a huge collection of minis from which to draw, an awe-inspiring selection of dice (if you forgot your own), memorable handouts, eye-popping props, and other additional features which are negotiable based on party/group preferences (music, lighting, etc.). NPC VOICES I love doing a wide range of compelling NPC voices and sound effects, but if you happen to be a group that prefers that I don't do that, I'm OK either way. Just let me know what you prefer.

Homebrew rules

TABLE RULES CRIT PC’s: Nat-20 damage = (1 full damage die value) + (1 rolled damage die value) + (normal bonus) e.g., D12 = (12) + (rolled value) + (normal bonus value) 25% SUPER BLOODIED Target creatures that have 25% or less of their hit points remaining make all attacks at disadvantage. 3 BAD ROLLS If a Player rolls 5 or less 3 times in a row on a d20 roll, they can re-roll the next 3 rolls at or below 5. SPELL SCROLLS Can be used with a casting ability check =10 if the spell is one your class can cast.

How Fungeon Master Justin creates a safe table

All listed safety tools are available to the group at all times, and we can negotiate in Session Zero which ones the group feels are most important to enjoyable safe play.
