Tales of the Second Expedition (Beginner and LGBTQ+ Friendly)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Calling adventurers, explorers and scholars! It has been 5 years since an expedition from the Odalian Empire has embarked to a newly discovered landmass many miles off their shores in an attempt to colonize the new world. With the half-century anniversary nearing, a second wave of brave souls are set to make their way to join the expedition effort and aid in building a new seat for the Empire. You will all be members of this expedition, either joining through patriotism, money, fame or a more personal reason. In this campaign you will explore this new land, fight terrifying monsters and decide the fate of this new land in a homebrew world of my creation!

How to prepare
A D&D Beyond account, a Roll20 account, and a Discord account are required and need to be set up before session 0. A basic understanding of the rules is recommended, but I am more than happy to explain things as the game goes on. A microphone and stable internet connection. All books will be provided by me for character creation and any assistance needed I'd be happy to provide.
What I provide
I use Roll20 for virtual tabletop, which includes maps, tokens, and handouts to visualize the game world. Additionally, I have all the books on D&D Beyond, providing easy access to rules and content for my players. I like to provide a unique experience to players with a lot of roleplay and connecting players to the world they play in. With the aid of music and sound effects I hope to craft an immersive adventure. While I tend to stick to the rules I love creativity and am happy to make things work that don't fit perfectly to the rules. This is a game of imagination and fun always wins out. All in all I just love this game and telling a fun story is something I'd be happy to do with you.
Gameplay details
Before playing I would ask players fill out the Monte Cook rpg consent checklist that will be pinned in my Discord server. At any point players can message me privately with X, N, or O in regard to the current content and will be dealt with immediately. In the middle of the session there will be a 5-10 minute break for bio, drink refills or just a chance to move around. After sessions I'd appreciate feedback or things you'd like to see so I can offer the best possible experience to all of you. Session 0 will be for introductions as well as character discussion and creation. I will also give a brief overview of the campaign with tone, themes and expectations in mind. Any important questions you might have I'm more than happy to answer!

How will character creation work
During session 0 we will go over the character you'd like to play, their backstory and how they came to be hired for this adventure. I want you to feel satisfied when playing your character so please tell me any concerns. If any help is needed when making your character I'd be happy to help build the character you want to play. I'd appreciate a written backstory for your character as well, it can be anywhere from a few sentences to a few paragraphs. Point buy will be used for stats in this game to ensure fairness and variety when building your character. Any official book is on the table, homebrew must be approved by me before use.
