About the adventure
The defeat of the Chroma Conclave and the banishment of Vecna has breathed new life into Tal'Dorei. Cities and settlements are bustling once more, slowly returning to life as they knew before a time of strife. Although the known evils are defeated, there are still many others that attempt a truly mad grab for power in the shadows of this saved continent. To guide its transition from a sovereign kingdom to a Republic, many adventurers take up the call to stabilize the realm to aid the wise Council. Are you such adventurers, or do you forge your own path? Welcome players to the second edition of my very first campaign on StartPlaying - using the Tal'Dorei Reborn Setting module and going by the 2014 DND5e rules, you will explore the continent of Tal'dorei, dealing with newfound threats and helping stabilize the realm. I typically run my games on Roll 20 and Discord, and this particular campaign is entirely friendly to new game players and does not require more than basic knowledge of Exandria or the Critical Role mythos (which I will provide via cheatsheets, or just through conversation)! This is a Level 2 start adventure, so perfect for everyone looking for a convenient place to start without trudging through early level struggles.

About me
An organized and intuitive story-teller with over 4 years of experience in GMing varied kinds of TTRPGs - including but not limited to DND, Daggerheart and the Good Society TTRPG. As your GM/DM/Storyteller, this is what you can expect from any of my tables: ♡ 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: By appropriate use of ambient music, narrative indicators and engaging storytelling, I make my "theater of the mind" games come to life with my own personal flourishes. ♡ 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: As an asexual woman of colour, it is increasingly important to me that my tables reflect my continued drive to make TTRPGs a safe environment within which anyone can thrive and enjoy, no matter what their background or orientation is. I aim always to uphold a golden standard of table etiquette in all of my games. ♡ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫-𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Another one of my crucial focuses in any game is the willingness to deliver a very player-driven experience. All of the adventures I run are exploration heavy, with the onus of it on the players and their wishes! Every adventure is tailor-made for the general energy and vibe of the group, as well as everyone's individual and collective goals. ♡ 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲: Though my games boast being roleplay-driven, they are not lacking in tactical or crunchy play and heavy combat scenarios. I take great care to deliver a balanced game that will suit the needs of every player in the party, and my versatile GMing style allows for such flexibility. ♡ 𝐀 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚: Needless to say, I am influenced quite a lot by online live play GMs and their styles, chief among them being Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matthew Mercer. I draw a lot of inspiration from their approach to TTRPGs as well as the examples they set in their many campaigns, and I always strive to make the narrative experience something for all of my players to remember. I try my best to weave in humanistic and philosophical elements into my stories, with dramatic flairs that I have always loved to incorporate! ♡ 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞: As an inclusive GM, I try and cover a whole spectrum of topics. Everyone is welcome at my table: whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned player, you will find something to enjoy about my games. Whether you're here just to have fun or you want a serious and dramatic roleplay/narrative experience, or you want tough and dynamic combat that you really need to think on your feet to get through successfully — my games are the place for you! More than anything, I find satisfaction from my work here when you, the player, have simply had a marvelous time and have left each session with a sense of wanting more! So, I hope you 𝑑𝑜 answer the call for adventurers and join one of my games — and let's have a great time telling some riveting stories! ( P.S.: Credit for Icon Art goes to @ShionsLife. )

Creating your character
We will be creating characters in Session 0 itself. I provide a wide range of official source books that you can use to create your characters. This particular campaign will have some narrative flairs and choices that you will either have to roll for or make yourself, including some secrets you might keep from the party. You do not have to know these at Session 0 itself, but ideally you should have a couple of secrets before Session 1. You can refer to the Tal'dorei Setting Reborn source book as well as the PHB, the DMG, TCOE, XGtE, and MMoM. Any other source books being used will need to find approval with me.
Currently, we are ideally looking for 2 MORE PLAYERS (beginners and players of all experience levels encouraged to join) who will be able to fit in and can be consistent according to the schedule (emergencies of any kind, trips, health, etc. excluding). The campaign is rather flexible, and I can fit in people last minute with no issues! Please feel free to message if you have inquiries. Brand new players are highly encouraged as much of the table is new to D&D play! Sessions happen every Wednesday at 8 P.M. British Summer Time (GMT/UTC+1). It runs typically anywhere between 2 to 4 and a half hours. Level is currently at 5! Newcomers to D&D need not worry, I ensure first time players understand the rules and familiarity with character sheets.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Even before Session 0, you should have accounts in these following software services and sites: Discord (free) Roll20 (free) Once done, you will be invited to join me on discord, and a welcoming community server of about 70 people (all players from my other campaigns and one shots!)
What Ajna brings to the table
Ambient music, memorable character voices (as best as is possible), free 5E character sheets, elaborate battle maps, a Roll20 Plus game server that will have a few bells and whistles, vivid narrative descriptions, RPG safety tools, and a great deal of mystery. As some of the reviews have said, I adopt a "player friendly" mentality, and at any point of time within the campaign, your continued collective fun is my top priority. I never give my players anything in game that their characters cannot handle, and I ALWAYS ensure that everyone is on the same page about boundaries, lines, veils, and general player safety.

How Ajna creates a safe table
Session 0 will be where we discuss most of the safety tools that I've added here. Lines and veils and LTDs are all done during the Session 0, but I will continuously re-evaluate and check in with you on how you're feeling and if I need to update the list of triggers. I do not anticipate this campaign having a lot of really dark themes, but if there are, I will always let you know before the session, while I'm prepping. I always have 15-min breaks at the halfway point through my sessions, where we can all have a bite to eat and a drink of water! Stars and Wishes are done after each session, including the session 0.
