HOMEBREW DND 5E ADVENTURE; Adventures in RAVKA

Creating your character

We'll go through all of this during session 0 however for character creation details start thinking of a 4th level character you want to play. For stats I use a method where we all roll then take the average of everyone's rolls so we're all on equal footing and take the maximum for health at each level.

Preparing for the session

Make sure you have a computer that can run Roll20 and a functioning mic, additionally a discord account so you can actually join the server in order play with us.

What Joe brings to the table

I use Roll20 as my primary VTT, complete with maps and homebrew character content. I’ve also created a comprehensive homebrew document detailing all available options, including a unique weapon system and a talent tree system. Instead of simply granting a bonus to rolls, skill proficiencies additionally unlock a variety of bespoke abilities that you can use strategically. I strive to bring characters to life with distinct voices and typically ask a player to handle music (though I can manage it myself if needed to keep things running smoothly). All other details will be covered in Session 0.
