DnD in World of Warcraft
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
This campaign will take place in the vast universe or World of Warcraft, but mostly in the world of Draenor. The aim here is to use the Warlords of Draenor template as the foundation of the story, but retell it in a way that suits the narrative being told between me, and you guys as the players. As far as the game itself, I will always have a Session 0 to get everyone's characters set and comfortable in the world (more on that in the Details). I also will always go over any topics and/or themes my players do not want to include in their campaign. Most importantly, my campaigns are primarily focused on story and roleplay. Rarely will I have "throw away combat" where the party will kill 10-20 goblins just to kill them. Instead, combat will always have a purpose in driving the story forward, and combat against mini-bosses and big bad bosses will be favored. To that point, there will be sessions where there is no combat, and that is completely fine; I encourage my players to investigate all angles they wish, gather as much lore as they wish, and talk to all the NPCs they wish.

How to prepare
All players should have a webcam and mic. All players should have DnDBeyond account (can sign up for free). All players should have a Discord account. While experience with World of Warcraft (either through games or books) is preferred, it is not required. Send me a message on Discord (my username is Bazbirttwo) and be sure to introduce yourself and let me know you discovered me through StartPlaying! And lastly, all players should think about what race/class combo they want to play as if they were making a character in World of Warcraft.
What I provide
I primarily utilize DnDBeyond for character creation and theater of the mind for most things. Sometimes I utilize battle maps (via Above VTT) if there are too many characters to keep track of during a fight.
Gameplay details
Players can expect a strong emphasis on storytelling and roleplaying. I always host a free Session 0 for my groups to get everything ready to jump in. That means we'll be going over my general playstyle and everyone's character creations. I want all my players to feel like their characters have existed and will continue to exist in this world, and I want to take the time to craft a wonderful backstory with each and every player (should they desire it). I also will always go over what topics and themes players don't want to see in my campaigns so I can take care to avoid them.

How will character creation work
For character creation, I usually go for standard array, though I always give my players the option to roll for their stats if they want (though everyone in the group will have to agree on rolling for stats to do it). I will work with each and every player to craft a character that makes sense both narratively and mechanically. That said, an important thing to note in this setting: although all classes are generally open to play, I will be offering each player some homebrew things that help them embrace the class fantasy of the specific world of warcraft class (and specialization) they are going for.
