About the adventure

Whether this is your first time breaking into tabletop roleplaying games or if you're a veteran of the scene looking to get back into it, this game is for you! The content of this 3 hour-ish session includes: - Learn the tech specs and get situated on Discord for voice chat and how to use Roll20 - How to make a character for Dungeons & Dragons 5e 2014 with a fleshed out background and story. - What a typical session looks like in terms of actually playing the game. - A short, hour long encounter at the end to simulate the three pillars that make up the usual experience: Combat, Roleplay and Exploration! By the time we reach the end, you should have a complete idea of how to play online and what a typical online session of D&D looks like!

About me

Ayy my names Steve and if you're looking to play 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, then you have come to the right DM! I have been running Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition games since 2014, having clocked up thousands of hours on Roll20.net. In terms of my DM style, I take a person centred approach to my games, focusing on an individual's preferences. Due to running a majority of my games for newer players, I am well suited to adapting an adventure to meet the needs of my players. I run campaign modules on the website www.Roll20.net which is free and easy to use. Voice chat is hosted on an application called Discord. Here is a link to my server (Feel free to come and chat also if you'd like to get to find out more about me and my games before booking one!): https://discord.gg/nqCHd57naa So if you are not sure where to start, look no further! I got you covered :) If I am not running a session at a suitable time either, feel free to message me and I will try my best to accommodate you! Here's a DM Steve original if none of the above convinces you that I am the DM for you :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW_p42Je4so ( Here's an actual pitch lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMb6wZ_zhUk )

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will be covered during the session! You will not need any prior knowledge of the game or system coming into the session as it will all be covered during game time!

The current party

Whether this is your first time breaking into tabletop roleplaying games or if you're a veteran of the scene looking to get back into it, this game is for you! The content of this 3 hour-ish session includes: - Learn the tech specs and get situated on Discord for voice chat and how to use Roll20 - How to make a character for Dungeons & Dragons 5e 2014 with a fleshed out background and story. - What a typical session looks like in terms of actually playing the game. - A short, hour long encounter at the end to simulate the three pillars that make up the usual experience: Combat, Roleplay and Exploration! By the time we reach the end, you should have a complete idea of how to play online and what a typical online session of D&D looks like! Potentially, after our session, we could explore a view to continue into something more long term (unless you absolutely hated it lmao)

What to expect

Preparing for the session

In terms of preparing for the game, I would encourage the following:- - I use an application called "Discord" for voice communication. I would recommend installing it on the device you wish to play on! (There is no requirement for using a webcam in my games, only voice is necessary!). - The game will be hosted on the website: www.Roll20.net - This is where the graphics, music, character sheets and entire game itself will be run! - Owning a copy of the Player's Handbook is advisable but not necessary - I am more than happy to run you through the necessary steps in order to create your character or provide information from the book for you!

What Steve (Solaire Of Astora) brings to the table

I will host the game on Roll20 which the players will be able to access at any point outside of game time. This will enable players to level up or review game information for the next session!

How Steve (Solaire Of Astora) creates a safe table

My games are catered to all ages. I like to run a Session 0 where I will encourage the players to discuss relevant themes that may be deemed unsuitable for the group's needs e.g. Harsh language, violence and gore, body horror, phobias etc. If these subjects were preferred to be discussed privately, I would instead provide a consent form that would let the player privately submit their preferences on content they would rather not see featured in the game. If that player would rather talk to me directly in private, that would be perfectly fine too. I handle triggers and inappropriate content with confidentiality and respect towards the player's views and beliefs. If, during the game, a player is uncomfortable with the content they are participating in, I encourage that player to let me know in private so that we can stop the session, take a break and discuss the issue privately. How my players feel during my games is my top priority and if one person is not having fun, I will take the steps necessary to ensure they are heard and ensure the subjects they deemed inappropriate are kept strictly off the table. I take a no-tolerance approach to inter-player conflict. Should one or more players become uncomfortable with each other, I would do my best to resolve the conflict privately and in a healthy manner. Communication is vital during times of player conflict and I do my best to promote this in the game and outside too.
