Fate’s Choice: A Wild Card D&D Adventure

Creating your character

Character creation specific will be given after the adventure is chosen, at which point players will have roughly 15 minutes to creature or modify a character. Characters level will between 1 - 8, using point buy and either 2014 and 2024 content (though try not to mix and match). Adventures will be picked by majority vote, if after choosing you really don't want to play the adventure I will happily let you drop out and give you a refund. Character level will be clear when choosing adventures.

Preparing for the session

Join the Discord server and Roll20 game, maybe have a rough idea of what sort of character you might want to play though.

What Chris brings to the table

I will bring cool adventures, occasionally maps and all my content on D&D Beyond. I'm a heavy believer in rule of cool, thus reward creative thinking rather than utilising rules as written. I do minimal voices but am very good at running theatre of mind encounters.

Homebrew rules

My playstyle leans toward Rules as Fun—I value creating an engaging experience over strict rule adherence. I’m always open to bending the rules if it makes the game more enjoyable. That said, here are a few common homebrew rules I use: - Drinking a potion is a bonus action. Giving one to another player takes a full action. - Area of effect attacks may deal double damage on a Nat 20 or none on a Nat 1. I use this more for cinematic or low-stakes moments—for example, doubling 8 damage on a Nat 1, but not 60. - Failed death saves carry over during combat (we’ll chat about this before it comes up). - When unsure if something should work, I’ll often roll odds/evens to decide. - I try to avoid players feeling useless on their turn. For example, if you save against a stun at the end of your turn, I may still let you act. Same with death saves.

How Chris creates a safe table

It is very difficult to give content warnings for wild card adventure's, but after the game has been chosen I will highlight any themes that haven't already been highlighted, and if anyone is uncomfortable with the adventure we can pick again. My DMing style is very light hearted and not afraid to quickly veil something or modify it on the fly based on vibes or direct requests at the table. If you have any concerns I always make time for players before and after a game, and try to be attentive to direct messages during a game.
