About the adventure
You are adventurers, fighters, champions and spectators in the Country of Warrendale, A vast sunny side of the larger continent Pranthea. You have heard many tales of the strongest adventurers emerging from Warrendale and how they faced the ultimate test. Golgotha. An endlessly tall tower that reached the clouds and beyond. Golgotha towered over Warrendale, like a wound it festered and poisoned the country. Being the home to the most feral of beasts and the most cunning of monsters. This tower had emerged from the earth long before Warrendale was founded. The tower gave birth to this unholy kin that would storm out and ravage towns, cities, and anything they could get their hands on. To counteract this the surrounding regions of the tower and the whole of Warrendale summoned their strongest warriors and fighters to exterminate the hellspawn that would exit the tower. This became a tradition and was later called The Purge. Guilds, Task forces and mercenary groups prospered from the predicament this tower displayed, eventually killing most of the monsters that had ventured outside of the tower. Deciding to continue this prospering and bring an end to the plague the tower brought, these groups began to venture deep into the tower... But of the 5000 that entered. Only 100 returned. Seeing the true danger of the tower the Country of Warrendale made it their mission to exterminate the monsters that lurked in the tower regularly and every 4 years their groups would combine to raid the tower and stop the endless cycle of torment it created. It all seemed to go to plan for decades. Until it happened. 2 years after a recent Purge, A large group of monsters had escaped larger than any group anyone had dealt with. This had caught everyone of guard as 2 years would be too quick for all the monsters that were killed to be birthed again. But something has been going on that has possibly put the Country of Warrendale in a War that it could not win.

Creating your character
I suggest creating your character before session 0! If you do then it gives you more time on those individual sessions that will build your character's connection with the world. As I mentioned We would use Dicecloud and the only limitations you would have on character creation is that it has to be on Dicecloud (This can be ignored for homebrew) as it clearly shows it for Me and you or any other players who would want to see your sheet. But don't think of this negatively as Dicecloud has EVERY resource you need not only to find these homebrew or specific races/subclasses but also allows you to create your own on the website so you are not limited in the slightest. For this Campaign, everyone will start at level 3, (this will be explained) and I also suggest staying away from builds or concept builds that could cause trouble in the case for other players. But everything that will be created should be communicated to me. I suggest reading up on the Lore of the campaign and building your characters backstories around that Lore (need help let me know)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
What you will need: - No Video/Webcam - Microphone - Discord - Dicecloud Account - Owlbeard Rodeo Account The sessions will be hosted online in a server that I have created on Discord and all the onboarding has already been prepared for your arrival. I suggest before joining reading up on the Lore of the campaign and building your characters around that Lore (need help let me know) Most importantly, I wish any player that wants to join will enjoy the sessions I will lead and that we would all have fun as we play DnD!
What Reborn brings to the table
I use a very reliable and helpful VTT Owlbear Rodeo. I also use a character creation website that is called DiceCloud. Why I use Owlbear Rodeo (VTT): - Very Easy/Quick Setup (Just need to join the link and your set) - Has multiple tools that help immerse everyone into the session - Easily displays maps/characters/tokens/status-effects Why I use Dicecloud (Character Creation): - Very Intuitive with its design and a very short learning curve - Allows you to make characters with numerous resources from unearthed arcana to Tasha's cauldron and a vast amount of homebrew as well as critical role content (For Free) - Easily shows your character sheet and additionally, other features that help make your character maintenance easy What to expect with my GM style: - I would describe every and each detail that you would experience or see and would always elaborate on details you want to know more about - I love to voice every type of character. (Dragonborn, Dwarves, Elves, Liches) - I encourage speaking with NPCs and dialogue between Players - I also encourage inquiring about the world and NPCs around you as I would elaborate on any question or dialogue you would want to have with them - I always have ambience or battle music that emulates the current theme that we would be experiencing - My version of combat sticks to the basics. (Movement, Attacking, Actions, Initiative) DnD 5e rules. - I allow creative ideas/actions during combat and the most opposition you would get with these ideas is if you can roll high enough for them to work.

How Reborn creates a safe table
Session 0 will be an individual session with each of your characters that will introduce them to the world of their character and the larger world of the campaign. As well as character creation and preparation after these sessions, the party would eventually all converge and Session 1 would begin. With describing things that are too sensitive, I would normally leave it blank or not describe it as much but in the case of when I would, it would be in response to the acceptance of the players or a warning from me. I allow breaks in my longer games as I wouldn't wish for people to feel stuck to the screen and I think everyone deserves the right to use the toilet! X,N,O cards can be Direct Messages to me during or after sessions and you can address your problem which I would fix either during or after the session.
