The Pit of 100,000 Souls 🔎🕸💀[Noir Underdark Mystery Campaign]

Creating your character

We'll be starting at Level 5, using roll4drop1 stats and milestone leveling. All WOTC official expansions are fine with the following exceptions, mostly for lore reasons: No Duergar No Guns and Gunpowder (artificers are fine if flavoured away from this) Most reasonable homebrew is fine, but run it by me first before hinging your entire character on it. Your character has come to town seeking someone missing, and the Dranhold Beholder is your first stop. We will also be running a session 0 to go further into character creation and help anyone who needs it to get their head around the numbers. Feel free to message me with any questions :)

Preparing for the session

Before session 0, all you need is a microphone, a discord account, and somewhere to create your character - a paper sheet, dnd beyond, up to you. A webcam is also good, but not essential. Before session 1, you'll need a roll20 account, an image for your character token, and some understanding of at least the rules that pertain directly to your character (their race, class and background for example).

What Benjamin brings to the table

💀I encourage in-character roleplaying, reward creative choices, and make sure player choice has a big impact on the plot. Expect an engaging story that you have a say in - give me a backstory with a couple of colourful characters in it, and they'll more than likely crop up somewhere in the adventure. 🔎I run the game on Discord for speaking and Roll20 for combat. 💀I make liberal use of in-character dialogue and encourage players to do the same. I also encourage players to argue their cases for things like unorthodox skill checks, however ask that they respect my final ruling. 🔎I use background music for those who want it, but one of the reasons I run games on discord is that it can be turned down or off individually. 💀 I can supply pdfs of all core rulebooks and some snazzy character sheets. 🔎And, finally, I'm a professional voice actor, so expect high-quality narration in terms of both content and sound quality - check my DM profile's Youtube link for some sample narration!

How Benjamin creates a safe table

Session 0 will involve character creation, and a discussion of any triggers players might have for one's own character and the game in general. The game itself will largely be story driven, but that doesn't mean you won't have think tactically and rely on your companions when you do get into combat. Fun is what we're all here for, and sometimes nothing is more fun than a well-applied fireball.
