About the adventure

5e D&D (2014), but you're all forest critters! Humblewood is Hit Point Press' beautiful alternate world of Birdfolk and Humblefolk. You can play a big tough Strig (Owl), or a clever Mapach (Raccoon)! You can glide as a Gallus (Chicken!)or help your friends as a Jerbeen (Mouse)! It's a world of animals, something like the old Richard Scarry books, Disney's Adventures of Robin Hood or Redwall. My play style is light and player-facing. I'm a fan of the characters, and my instinct is to say Yes, And? rather than No, You Can't.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Additional details

How to prepare

You need a mic, and a webcam is optional. I run my games on Roll20 for the game, and I use Discord for the video and audio. I'll make a blank character sheet available for each player before the first session if they want to start on their character but I'll make the first 1.5 hours of the first session a pure character creation, party-bonding activity. Note the majority of players do not use a webcam, and that's perfectly ok. As long as you can see me!

What I provide

I'll provide the Roll20 account: players do not need to pay extra to participate in Roll20, but they will need to create a free account. I make all my own maps and I provide character art and tokens for all of the players! We'll use Discord to talk to each other.

Gameplay details

My games are inclusive and player-facing. I reward players for role-play, laughter and great ideas. I won't tolerate bullying and bad behaviour. On Roll20, the X card will be easy to access and use.

How will character creation work

I use Roll20 because Humblewood is available on that platform for character creation. Players will make characters using the Standard Array, and get a bonus Feat at level one. Players must choose a Humblewood race to make their characters, but don't worry there are a lot to choose from, and lots of options within each type. For example within the Mapach race, you can be anything from a raccoon (the default) to a ferret, skunk, otter or pine marten. Within the Gallus race, you can be a fancy chicken (the default) or a quail, partridge, peacock or pheasant. There are no humans, elves, dwarves, etc. in Humblewood - nothing with a human face, including apes. Even though each animal type has suggested stat bonuses, I allow players to put their bonus stats anywhere they like. We'll play a Session Zero where our players make their characters and get into a tiny bit of trouble in Meadowfen.
