The Secret of Pasyr | lvl 2-5 Beginner & LGBTQ+ Friendly

How to prepare

At the start of our first session, aka Session 0, please bring any ideas for your character and have most of the basic information ready to begin your character sheet. (Like a race or class idea, maybe even some backstory information, however nothing is required as this is a learning experience). We will be using dndBeyond, Roll20, and Discord. I will help you create all your accounts, and help you set everything up during Session 0. dndBeyond and Roll20 have digital dice options for those who don't have dice at home. This campaign will be audio based, so a microphone is required to play (headset microphones work fine, no need for a fancy one). Video is optional, so a webcam is not required. While playing the game, we will be using Roll20. At the moment, Roll20 is not available on mobile devices, so you'll need access to a computer to play. However, if you don't have access to a computer, someone can always share their screen on discord so that you'll be able to see the digital table.

What I provide

Players can expect a medium-paced game with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I will be providing detailed VTT maps on Roll20 so players will be able to see exactly what is in front of them. I will also provide full access to my dndBeyond library to use for character building. Roleplay is a huge part of my campaigns. Making sure everyone gets a chance to roleplay with my NPCs, or even with other players is something I strive to do. I always encourage roleplay, especially if some people want to take some downtime to have discussions in character.

Gameplay details

During Session 0, we will have a 15 minute introduction & icebreaker to ensure everyone works well together. We will have a short Luxton Technique Discussion to make sure we don’t discuss any triggers or potential ones. A short discussion will occur before every game starts to ensure all new triggers are added to the Lines and Veils list. At any point during gameplay, players may text “N” (nearing a trigger) “X” (needs to stop) or “O” (okay to continue) to indicate that a scene or moment is not something they are comfortable with. No explanation is needed. Content Warnings Description: While my games are usually wacky and fun, this setting has added “Grit” to make it slightly more realistic. In this setting, there is an empire that has started a genocide against magic and magic users, not necessarily one ancestry. Due to this, Mass Death, Murder, Cults, Violence, and Death triggers have been added. While there may be occasional Classism, there will NOT be any mentions/roleplaying of Racism or Sexism in the game. Devils and Fiends are central to the story. I always add "alcohol use" because I sometimes like to make a drink for the game. I will curse both in and out of character, which is why the game is 18+ only. On the battle maps there will be an occasional skeleton, but no visuals of "new" bodies. I will give various descriptions using Theater of the Mind to portray anything else in the game.

How will character creation work

All characters will begin at level 2, and you can use any race you'd like. (Yes, you can pick a race with flight. I don't mind working with that!) We will be using dndBeyond to create character sheets during Session 0. This way I can have access to all sheets through a campaign link. I will also be able to share my content this way, so you'll have access to more races, classes, and features. If you're wondering, "What is a Session 0?" here's a quick description: Session 0's are an initial meeting where the GM and players get to meet each other, build their characters, learn about the setting/world and ask questions along the way. If time allows, a short example roleplay session where the characters meet each other may also occur. These are typically used to set up the game before it starts at Session 1. If you're new to D&D and have no idea how to start, don't worry. I'll help you during Session 0. That being said, if you'd like to start on your character sheet beforehand, you're absolutely welcome to do so!
