Waterdeep: The Grand Game | Weekly | Free Session 0

How to prepare

We will be using Discord for voice chat. I ask that you have a quality microphone and can speak English fluently. I don't expect voice acting but a sense of roleplay is encouraged. Broad knowledge of the rules is not required. I can teach as we play. Dice rolling will be done entirely in Foundry VTT and your character sheet can be imported from DDB or other sources directly into the game. Players should come prepared with characters of their choice or can use a premade character. Communication will happen through Discord, there is no need to install anything for the use of the VTT.

What I provide

Prepared scenes built in FoundryVTT on customized battle maps made in Dungeon Draft and Wonder Draft. Me on video and voice for 3.5 to 4 hours, role-playing NPC characters, narrating the world, and running battles. Me prepping a minimum of 3.5 to 4 hours a week outside the scheduled game. Homebrew materials and incorporation of other homebrew at request.

How will character creation work

To Begin You will begin at level 1 and level at specific milestones through the campaign. You can choose a feat to start with. Races & Classes All official 5e classes and subclasses will be permitted (PHB, XGE, TCA, etc.) A diverse party of classes to begin, no duplicates, please Characters can multiclass. Stat Rolls - Group decision Individually roll 4d6kh3, twice, reroll all 1s, taking the better result OR Collectively roll 4d6kh3, and reroll all 1s, taking the better result. For everyone to use one stat array Each player may choose where the scores are applied. To Consider Dexterity is the most valuable ability score in the game, to counter this: Spheres may flavor the spellcasting ability, such as having an INT-based Warlock (Int, Wis, or Cha Only) The highest among your Dex, Int, Wis, or Cha can be applied to your initiative. Alignment Alignments are reserved for creatures from the outer planes and creatures tightly connected to them (such as, for example, paladins and clerics). Otherwise, they are replaced with the idea that it's not so much about how the character acts, as it is about where they side in the major struggle of the setting, with good/evil being the major alignment and lawful/chaotic being minor. Though, of course, it does at least suggest how one might behave. For this campaign I expect characters to be on the side of good.
