The Concealed Abbey of the Dragonfly Horde! Shadowdark!

Creating your character

Characters will start out at level 4 and be made on Discord. A simple process of rolling your stats and background will generate two to four 4th level characters in a short time. You will be able to play as many of your characters as you can in the session. I will send you and invite to the campaign on Discord. Pre-Made Characters are available on request.

Preparing for the session

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. 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. Characters will be made or provided on Discord. Pre-made characters are always available. Players will make characters during session zero; or, we can make one prior to the game session. Each of your characters will be made with a roll of three six sided dice in order. After the stats are determined, you will then roll for hit points modified by your constitution. Then it's time to roll a profession. Other skills and possessions are then determined. Thats it! Your character is complete! Yup...it's that easy and believe it or not exciting! I will walk you through the process either before game or in the first few minutes of the game.

Homebrew rules

We will craft the house rules we want to play in the first session...or play by the rules as written. You decide! Sword & Sorcery games are fun with luck, fleeting luck, sanity and modified critical hits...but we can play they way you want!

How Mark creates a safe table

Each player will be provided with a private Discord channel for the discussion of issues or concerns before, during and after sessions. The content warnings will vary depending on the game choice, but it is highly likely the game will have levels of violence involving player characters and non-player characters, with death always being a possibility. SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. Additional breaks are always available on request. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
