Descent into Avernus | The Fall of Elturel | Level 6

Creating your character

📜 Character Options: Bring a character you've made or we can create one together during session 0. You can use either the 2014 or 2024 character creation rules, and any official source books. 🛠️ Assistance Available: I'm happy to help you craft your ideal character if you need anything. I also have pre-made characters if you would rather use or modify one of them. 🎲 Ability Score Rolls: If you're rolling for ability scores, we'll do that in Foundry during session 0. You can also choose Standard Array (with a small bonus) or a 32 point Point Buy. ⬆️ Homebrew: I use some homebrew enhancements to certain classes and subclasses, like the Ranger and Transmutation Wizard, making every choice feel rewarding and impactful. 🎨 Token Art: I can help create your token whenever a you join. I would prefer for you to find the art though (that’s the fun part!).

Preparing for the session

Webcam/Mic: I only request you must have a working mic. A webcam is not required, though you are free to use one if you would like. Free Accounts: You'll need a free account for Discord, FoundryVTT. Optionally DNDBeyond if you want to keep your character sheet there. Be Ready to Adventure: Come prepared to immerse yourself in the adventure, ready to collaborate with your fellow players and adapt to the twists and turns of our story for a fantastic experience!

What GM John brings to the table

Battlemaps, bad puns, and eight years of GM experience! 🎮 FoundryVTT Access: I use The Forge website for players to access the campaign on FoundryVTT. 🗂️ Player Resources: I will provide access to all player options. Once you join the campaign on The Forge, you'll be able to view or edit your character sheet and access available handouts anytime, even when I'm offline. 🗺️ Game Resources: I'll have handouts, art, tokens, and maps for the campaign, plus many custom creations to fill any gaps in and expand on the sourcebook. 🎶 Music/Soundscapes: I will always have music and soundscapes to enhance the atmosphere during sessions. 🎲 Digital Dice: Players can roll digitally in FoundryVTT, which I prefer for ease and transparency. I will always roll this way. If you prefer using physical dice, we’ll use the honor system, and I’ll trust you to be honest.

How GM John creates a safe table

Session 0: This should take between 30 minutes to an hour, and will happen before you start in the campaign. This will include character creation, backstory integration, and establishing any Lines and Veils. Breaks and Open Door Policy: Games will include a 10-minute break in the middle, but take breaks as needed, 4 hours is a long time. I just ask that you message me or the group letting us know. No PvP: I have a no Player on Player combat rule. This game is about cooperation in story telling and between players. This includes stealing from party members. Aftercare/Debriefing: To make sure everyone is happy with the session, I will set some time aside after each session to talk to the party as a group or one-on-one. If you want more of something, less of something, feel overlooked, or just want to talk about something that happened in the session (good or bad); please let me know. I just ask that we keep things civil.
