About the adventure

If you've always wanted to try DND, come join me! I am a DM with 10 years of experience. I want to run a pirate themed adventurer for players at level 5. This will be a fun adventure set on the high seas. You can expect plenty of swashbuckling action and roleplay.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare

Please at least have a microphone, a discord account, and a roll20 account. Please create level 5 characters beforehand or message me to schedule a session to build your character together.

What I provide

We will be using Roll20 for maps and combat. I can make custom tokens for all players beforehand. I will also be experimenting with ambient music. I love a tactical combat paired with roleplay, so expect to get a chance to flex both of those muscles! The game will be conducted on a video discord call.

Gameplay details

We will be using an X card. Players can privately message me the phrase "x card" or say it verbally on the video call in order to use it.
