HUMBLEWOOD | Woodland Creatures vs Ecological Collapse | 🏳️‍🌈

Creating your character

We will work on character creation together during Session 0! We will start at Level 1. Character sheets will be on D&D Beyond. My preferred stat method is: You can roll on D&D Beyond, and if you get lower than 72 total in the dice group, you can reroll once. If you still don't like your results, you can use Standard Array or Point Buy. Standard Array is the safety net if the dice fail you. Please do not roll more than 2 dice groups. I have the Humblewood Campaign Sourcebook on D&D Beyond, so you will have access to all the cool character options they have available! The Birdfolk: 🖤 Corvum : crows, ravens, blackbirds, grackles 🐓 Gallus : grouse, pheasant, turkeys, ducks, geese, chickens 🕊️ Luma : doves, pigeons, chickadees, wrens, sparrows 🦅 Raptor : eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures 🦉 Strig : owls of all kinds The Humblefolk: 🦌 Cervan : deer, elk, moose, antelopes 🦔 Hedge : hedgehogs, porcupines 🐭 Jerbeen : mice, chinchillas 🦝️ Mapach : raccoons, ferrets, badgers, 🦊 Vulpin : foxes, wolves, coyotes

What Isaac brings to the table

No matter your experience level, I set a welcoming, inviting tone at my games. Your questions are good, your baggage from your last game is not too much, your experience matters to me! Pull up a chair, friend. I have a Master Tier D&D Beyond account and a Plus Monthly Roll20 account, so all your digital needs will be taken care of. I’m a musician and an artist at heart, so I love incorporating graphic design elements, musical soundtracks and ambient noise, beautiful maps, and character art to enhance the experience of the game. I think the biggest thing I bring to the table is a flair for the dramatic. I was a musical theater kid in high school. Character voices. Storytelling. High drama. Heartrending conflict. This is the stuff I like. Very much. I try to keep a good balance of combat and roleplaying (40-50% of game time) with some exploration and puzzles thrown in for flavor (5-10%). Sometimes one session ends up with more of one than the others, and I’m happy to adjust based on feedback. The Rule of Cool is a very important part of my style. If something will move the story forward in a cool way, I may not even have you roll for it. I’ve been learning that rolling too much can be a real barrier to more important things, like the narrative and the dramatic moment.

Homebrew rules

⛔ Silvery Barbs is not allowed. We are using the 2024 rules, with the exception of the Grappling rules! For that, we will still use the 2014 rules.

How Isaac creates a safe table

- I have a digital RPG consent form I will distribute before the game so you can anonymously let me know what lines and veils you have before we begin. - We use a digital X-card system. If you are ever uncomfortable with the content, click the X-card, and we will pivot, no questions asked! - We take 10 minute breaks about halfway through the session.
