Grimwake [Bloodborne Game, Fight Epic Monsters, Become Great!]

Creating your character

Character creation will happen during session 0. Stats are determined via a set array, 18-16-14-12-12-10. Your characters will be level 3. You can use any wotc book and there are several third party supplements that are pre-approved for player use. If you'd like to use homebrew please pass it by me first.

Preparing for the session

You will need a mic, a discord account, and a roll20 account. Reading the rules ahead of time is requested but not necessary.

What 8bitpixelheart brings to the table

I will bring my compendium on roll20, as well as several other third party sources listed on my discord. I also use maps from patreon as well as maps that I make myself in dungeonscrawl and dungeondraft. I tend towards intense combat, especially in this campaign, with rules as written being my focus. I do my best to do character voices, and I do utilize ambient music.

How 8bitpixelheart creates a safe table

I will be sending a link to a lines and veils document, where they'll be posted anonymously so you know what topics are and are not acceptable. We'll go over this in session 0, as well as the x-card system on roll20.
