The Ballad of Jericho (All skill levels accepted!)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

A town full of merry bards and young rowdy adventurers where little happens.. until recently when a mysterious fallen Aasimar emerges in the tavern one evening. Our mismatched group of characters find themselves in discussing with the barkeep about a delivery he needs to have done in the next city over when this Aasimar joins them. They agree to deliver his mysterious caravan to the nearby city; a small cart of unknown goods to another tavern owner named Jericho in the city about a day's travel away. While this adventure may sound like an adventurer's average Tuesday night, the experiences and adventures had here at your table will never be the same! On the road to uncover the identity of our fallen winged-friend, there will be trials, tribulations, and whatever sort of misadventures and chicanery that your party seeks to stumble into!

How to prepare

Please have a reliable webcam and microphone available for use during the session! Having either a digital or printed version of your character sheet will be incredibly helpful for both the GM and yourself to keep track of spells, traits, abilities, etc. No software is necessary other than the free version of Zoom (I have Zoom Premium for longer calls and recording if desired by the party!) I would ask that everyone have a set of real dice they can use, I find it to be one more element that keeps us all engaged in the gameplay especially when playing digitally!

What I provide

I have my own dice and generally have all PC's character sheets pulled up for me on my monitors for reference. I'll do my best to provide some kind of visual reference/representation of what is happening in-game for those who may need additional help. I also utilize a small soundboard on my devices and will occasionally use basic AI generated backgrounds/profile images to give visual cues for those who seek additional aids for immersion and understanding.

Gameplay details

On my end there is a fair amount of planning with some general story beats we may or may not hit in a session and that's okay! There is some mild exploring with tense elements in our early game but will focus mostly on roleplaying and building out the characters relationships with one another and the world around them! Asking questions and taking in the scene is important to staying safe and present in the more tense moments that may occur later in the game!

How will character creation work

A short Zoom session right before the first session would be optimal to assure cohesion and minimal class overlap going into the campaign, if you have a character you'd like to use that you've already fabricated we can use that! (with additional buffing/nerfing if necessary for balance). This mini session should last no longer than 20 minutes and should help us establish some early expectations and rapport as DM and player, as well as give time to find some key characteristics and identifiers of your in game character.
