Tal'Morda 'Homebrew' Campaign - Beginner friendly

How to prepare

You will need: - Some Sanity (I've lost mine) - a DnD Beyond account - a Roll20 account - a Discord account - A microphone is preferable (Headset mic may be okay if audible) - I use a camera, but this is optional

What I provide

- My bubbly British self. - I will provide Character voices to NPCs as far as possible. I'm not a voice actor but I'm pretty good at offering a variety of voices. - I will provide battle maps where they are planned into the campaign. For this I will provide tokens, unless you have a specific token you would like to use. - I don't pull punches in combat/ There is always a risk of character death. However, there is always the opportunity for redemption as well. - There will be music playing to help set the scene and create suspense. - I have a healthy mix of RAW and Rule of Cool dependant on the situation but I am flexible (or try to be). - I also have a fair amount of DnD Beyond content that I can share with players who require it. (I don't have EVERY book)

Gameplay details

Our session 0 will be an opportunity to raise any triggers or concerns we may have. This will be done anonymously to avoid any fear of judgement. In the cases of sessions having potentially unavoidable but upsetting topics, I will endeavour to, where possible, afford consent warning beforehand in case anyone wishes to Open door. We will take breaks at convenient stopping points and will follow every session up with an opportunity to discuss anything they need to before re-entering reality to avoid bleeding over emotions. House Rules: I have a few house rules I use. I will put some here so that you can decide if they're preferable or deal-breaking - Rule of cool/ Sometimes I may ignore a ruling to give a good time. Rules are meant to be broken when you want to triple backflip off a dragon. - Potions/ If used as a Bonus action you roll the effect. If used as an Action they are 100% efficacious. - Deal with the Devil/ At any point a player can opt to turn a roll of theirs into a Nat20. However, I, the DM, can return this by changing a future roll of that player to a Nat1 down the line. - Flanking/ I don't use this optional rule. -High Ground/ 10ft above an enemy offers advantage on ranged attacks. This is true in reverse.

How will character creation work

Character creation we will do together in Session 0. However, here are some basic outlines to allow you time to ponder: - 2014 Rules only (Haven't had chance to re-adjust yet). Characters through DnD Beyond. - We will begin at Character Level 3. - HP will be rolled with the option of accepting average. - Stats will be rolled as a group. - You will start with 2x Common magic items each. - Multiclassing is allowed providing you can understand your own multiclass. - I won't ban any books BUT I would prefer no 'Broken Builds'. I'm aware this is subjective but I will speak individually with anyone who may have one.
