About the adventure

This is a level 3 one shot adventure intended for newer players. All classes are welcome. Officially published material only. The town up the road has put out a quest to the local guild for help clearing out a nearby cave. Many locals have wondered in, never to be seen again. The only person to make it out reported life like statues throughout the cave. Your job is to find out what happened to the townsfolk and rescue them if possible or otherwise put an end to whatever is causing them to vanish.

About me

I have been DMing and playing since 2020 for 3 separate groups in person, online and hybrid with some people online and some people in person. It is something I truly enjoy doing. I have completed multiple campaigns both homebrewed and pre-made modules. I would love to expand my talents into being a professional DM/GM and hope that I can help as many people learn about the game as is possible. My main goal is always for everyone to have fun and have a good time. I'm really flexible and I'm able to work with just about anything and anyone. I hope we can all have fun and beat the BBEG!!(or become the BBEG if that's how you want to play!).

Character creation
Creating your character

Character creation should be done before the game starts. If you need help or advice I am always happy to help. All officially published material is open for character creation. Stats will be standard array (15,14,13,12,10,8)

What to expect
Preparing for the session

All characters will need to participate is a mic. We will use Owlbear rodeo for maps and visuals, and Discord for audio/video. IF you do not wish to appear on video that is fine but audio is a must. Characters should be created ahead of time. Always feel free to ask me if you need any help with character creation. I will send discord link after you have joined the game.

What DM Ronarky brings to the table

I do not do many voices and prefer to narrate in third person. While I like to keep things to Rules as Written, I am a big fan of the Rule of Cool. Combat is important but hardly ever is it just a fight to the death without some underlying goal.

Homebrew rules

I use critical fail/success tables. Modified rules for underwater adventures. Potions are a bonus action

Equipment needed to play

Internet

Computer

Microphone

Safety
How DM Ronarky creates a safe table

We will be playing using Owlbear Rodeo. There is a chat feature called Rumble where you will be able to use the X, N, & O cards. I like to keep the game moving. If there is a dispute over rules that cant be solved within a minute then I will make a judgement call that is the most fair to the most amount of people. I am fine with going over time if everyone is having a good time. If at any time anyone has questions or concerns about anything please feel free to let me know.
