When You're Here, You're Family: An Olive Garden "One-Shot"

Creating your character

Everyone will start at 7th level, and we’ll do character creation as our first session. I’ll handle all of the books and math, all you need is your creativity, sense of humor, and joy. We'll roll 4d6 drop the lowest for stats, but you can bring a pre-made character if you like!

Preparing for the session

We’ll do everything together! Webcam is only necessary if you want to be on screen, which is an option but not required. You will need a mic, speaker, or headphones, Discord, and a working internet browser, but all else is prepared!

What Sam brings to the table

I come with maps, minis, and an endless amount of snaking plot. In addition, I have an absurd amount of accents and voices, improv experience, and a well-honed D&D Beyond account. I've spent many years improving homebrew worlds for characters and players, and adore doing this. I'll likely make maps and homebrew content specifically for your adventure and also spend most of my time making TTRPG dice and custom character art. We’ll play Rule of Cool (as long as it doesn’t break the game) and all improved input and world-building is accepted and appreciated!

Homebrew rules

Most of this campaign is homebrewed, including the things below (players are not limited to these, they're just options). I allow an extra object interaction OR ability check per turn, and drinking a potion can be a bonus action or action. I homebrew a lot on the fly as well, and am always happy to listen to shenanigans.

How Sam creates a safe table

Everyone will fill out a consent form prior to any gameplay, and I'll make sure that none of the ticked issues come up. I'll also send out a Session 0 sheet which we can all talk about together! Everyone is always welcome to leave a session if they're uncomfortable, and my DMs are always open for any issues or concerns. We also use a stoplight system where any player can send up a red, yellow, or green light to show that they are uncomfortable. Players can also message me privately. We will also do debrief and stars and wishes depending on the players' preferences.
