Discover the Hidden Temples of Isoliort | 5e Exploration&Puzzles

How to prepare

Make sure you have: - An idea of what you would like to play - A roll20 account - A discord account

What I provide

We will be playing in Roll20. You can use your own characters from DnD beyond in this game too if you know how to import them, otherwise it is fairly simple to make one in Roll20 (with some guidance from me of course). During the game I will mainly use a variety of maps I made with Inkarnate as battlemaps, city maps and hex-exploration maps. I like using 2minutetabletop tokens for my monsters, and prefer to use as little AI as possible, but google is getting better at hiding the AI generated images... I like to run combats with more going on than just the monster in an empty field. Creative use of environment and tactics will always be encouraged! The Rule of Cool will be called upon regularly, but sticking with the Rules as Written will be rewarded also. During the game we will also explore the map of Isoliort, using a semi-homebrew exploration system where everyone can contribute to surviving and discovering new locations. While this campaign is less roleplay focused, you will still have the chance to meet interesting NPCs with their own goals and decently-well-voice-acted-voices. We'll use the Discord "Watch Together" activity to listen to music in the background during the session. Mostly the Bardify and Blue Turtle youtube channels, so you can already get in the mood by looking those up!

Gameplay details

Before the session 0 I will send each player the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist, already filled in with parts that I personally will not be including in the game by default, with blank paces for the players to fill in more themselves. There are no sexual themes present in the story, and any sexual encounters will strictly be fade to black. Additionally, children will likely not be mentioned during the campaign, period. After everyone filled out the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist I will update it and pin it in Discord, going over the points during session 0 as well. All players will be expected to adhere to this list to the best of their ability. Throughout the game we will take one break about halfway through. Since we are playing on discord all players are always free to send me an X, N or O in a direct message. This allows the game to continue smoothly without worrying about interrupting the game, while still staying comfortable.

How will character creation work

We will be using the 2024 rules where possible. See below for further details. We will have a session zero of about 2 hours where we make characters together and I can help with setting you up in roll20. I need you to come with a character idea already. Whether this be a vague concept so we can find a fitting class and subclass together, or a fully thought through level progression for each level. The characters will be made together and I will prompt you to think of ways you are connected to your fellow adventurers. I will urge you to think of ways you are connected to the world and to think of compelling motivation to go on this quest. During the first two hours we will roll for stats together. Each array rolled can then be picked by any of the other players. We love the randomness, but also like all characters starting on the same footing. We will start at level 3 in de 5e 2024 system. Subclasses that don't exist yet are allowed, but do communicate about this with me to make sure it will work well. Using old species/races is allowed, but preferably we change the existing species to our needs. I enjoy and encourage reflavouring! We will level up about every other session and we should reach level 8 by the end of the campaign.
