How to prepare

The Theater of the Mind (audio portion of the adventure) will occur on Discord supplemented by images and battle maps as needed. You will need an account on Discord. Access to the dedicated server will be open prior to the game. Owlbear Rodeo may be used. No subscription is necessary. Characters will be made or provided on D&DBeyond. Players will make characters during session zero; or, we can make one prior to the game session. A pre-made character can be provided. Some players also enjoy the background music and effects of Syrinscape. A free account is now required for you to log into the site. Once you have the free account, a pregame link will provide you the immersive sounds. While fun, the music and sounds are not required.

What I provide

I am bringing decades of games experience, a robust community, in depth characterisation and the flexibility to adapt to player styles and choices. Free access to a starter set of rules will be provided. I am available to guide you through character creation on D&DBeyond. The narrative will be supplemented with images and maps on Discord and Owlbear Rodeo. Access to Battle maps and tokens will be on Owlbear Rodeo. No account is needed by the player.

Gameplay details

Safety concerns can be discussed prior to the session. The Session will start with the characters already served and survived together during the siege.

How will character creation work

Pre-made characters are available or can also be made with me on Discord (scheduled live session or via message) using D&DBeyond. You do not need to know anything about character creation, how the game works, or anything about the game. We can cover all of this together. I will send you an invite to the campaign on D&D Beyond and Discord.
