What I provide

-Hosting our DNDBeyond Campaign so I can share character creation options like subclasses, species, items, and feats. -Hosting the Foundry server where we will use our scenes, music, & battlemaps made for our adventures. -Hosting the discord server where different groups can chat, and where we will communicate for our games in an organized manor. -I will be available for any other questions you might need during the weekdays if you miss a session and would like know what you may have missed.

Gameplay details

During session 0 we will go over character creation and topics that will likely occur in the campaign. I'll review over specific themes that are more likely to occur than others, themes that may occur, and themes that are incredibly unlikely to occur unless players get involved. If someone would prefer a specific them to not be present I will do my best to make the experience comfortable for them by altering that instance from the module to be something else or rewriting it entirely. If someone has arachnophobia that would dampen the sessions experience for them, I'll work with them on a workaround session 0 so any instances that are changes stays in the spirit of the original creature but not be problematic later on. Additionally, I will go over what a player can do if they get uncomfortable with a specific piece of content during session 0.

How will character creation work

You can create your character when we have our session 0, if you have joined later we will communicate on discord about your character and then an hour before the session I will import your character and give you a tutorial on the system we'll use in Foundry. We will be using using the 2024 character creation rules, and point buy or standard array for our stat distribution. Character backstories and other relevant details will need to be completed before the first session joined unless they otherwise become relevant.
