Forgotten Realms Unlimited (Sunday's)

Creating your character

• The first session will be Session "0" and will not be charged (free). We will use this session to go through character creation rules, guidelines, and goals that you as a player has for the campaign. We may also use this is a short primer for those whom have not used DnD Beyond before, and how to navigate the DnD Beyond Maps VTT. • We will use session "0" to discuss character backgrounds, which can be utilized (if you wish) to be a part of the storyline through the campaign. I will offer hints on how to short cut the process by levering AI tools like ChatGPT. • A link to a DnD Beyond Campaign will be provided, giving you access to all 2024 core sourcebooks and 2024 expansion material. • Point Buy for Abilities. • Everyone starts at 1st level at the first official session. • A list of DnD Beyond character setting options will be provided. • No time to build a character? No problem. I have choice of several than can be provided.

Preparing for the session

• This is an open world, sandbox setting where you can choose where you go and what you do in the land of Faerun, the Forgotten Realms. • Reccomended for Intermediate experience and higer players - Those that have played a few games of D&D, but not neccesarily experts. You know your way around a character sheet well enough. • OPTIONAL: You are looking for a game where your character's background has an impact on the campaign. You either want to collaborate with the DM or be completely suprised as to what awaits your character based on your history, your relationships and goals. • Your looking for a game where it's not all scripted. You expect the DM to "roll-with-it" when you detour to something interesting. You want Faerun to be your oyster and carve your own destiny for reasons that are your own, and tailored by the DM. • A free DnD Beyond account is required. • A free Discord account is required to join my Discord sever. • A computer with a microphone is required. • A very strong internet connection is required. • A computer with a camera is optional. • Please disable any browser components used for 3rd party VTT connectivity to DnD Beyond to lessen technical issues during gameplay (e.g. Beyond20 is not needed). We will be using DnD Beyond Maps that are fully intergated with your DnD Beyond Charaters created, ensuring a smooth experience that is focused more on the action and less on technical issues. Great for people new to the VTT experience.

What Starwood Adventures (Oscar) brings to the table

• All 2024 digital sourcebooks (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual + some expanded books) will be provided once you have joined the DnD Beyond Campaign. • I use music and sound effects to help build the experience. The focus is always on story first, mechanics second. I take character backgrounds into account where it makes sense in the story if I can. • Most games will always aspire to provide an equal balance of every areas of enjoyment - combat, puzzles, and role play. I try to ensure there is something in every adventure for everyone, and will alway try to ensure everyone is getting attention and being heard. I use elements of sound effects and music to set the mood and align with the action. Using DnD Beyond's platform means a solid, consistant, and simple experience that you won't find with other VTT systems which are complex and often buggy. • We will start with a session "0" to discuss safety at the table, as well as take stock of all the different skill levels from players to we can ensure the group as a whole has fair expectations as to how we can support each other at those varying levels. We want everyone having fun and it takes the group to help in this process.
