Creating your character

How to roll a character: Points Buy System* – should you need any help with this, please contact me. We will finalize characters during session zero, but I understand wanting to discuss or brainstorm a character prior to that. There is no charge for talking about D&D – this is a game after all – I will do my best to answer as quickly as possible outside of my available hours. * Points buy system: Everything starts at 8 points, and you get 27 points to then distribute and make your scores higher – the points scale with 1 point per level until 13. And then its 2 points per increase, max 15 before racial bonuses. Please see point conversion below for assistance. Score | Cost 8 | 0 9 | 1 10 | 2 11 | 3 12 | 4 13 | 5 14 | 7 15 | 9 If you have any homebrew/special builds you want to use, we can probably find a way to make it work - just remember this is roleplay heavy and character focused, so the character should be built for that purpose, not min/maxing. We will start at level one, possibly two, if players need the level for their builds. (Which means if people need two levels to properly multiclass, everyone will get to have two levels) You should also be thinking about your character - not the stats, but their backstory and their short, mid and long term goals.

Preparing for the session

We will play using Owlbear Rodeo and Discord - upon sign up (or when the group is close to full enough to start) a link to my server will be sent out. In this server you will have access to a group chat with the group you will be playing with, and to get you onboarded for the game. Should you wish to play a pre-generated character - just let me know the type of story you want to tell, and what kind of character you want to play (swinging swords, shooting arrows, slinging magic, generally) You should also be thinking about your character - not the stats, but their backstory and their short, mid and long term goals. The longer the better, I will read them – it’s how I weaponize my Autism – I read. Yes, I know I mentioned this twice, I can’t stress enough how passionate I am about character driven collaborative storytelling.

What Abbi-Gm brings to the table

The table is aggressively Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ positive. (I did say I would say this again, didn't I?" In addition to a safe space community on Discord, I maintain a safe table - full safety rules are always on the table, and we are aggressively neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ positive at my tables. II also provide a gaming space for cozy gaming, which is the polar opposite of murder hobo games - if you have ever wished for a game with less murder hobo combat - and more roleplay creative focused encounters, I am the GM for you! In addition to this cozy, safe vibe to play games, I also provide custom maps, tokens in Owlbear Rodeo customized to your preferred character art, and a Rule of Cool vibe. The goal is to have fun, and that is my biggest goal of what to provide to the players. I bring an open mind and a "Sure let's figure out how to make it work" attitude when it comes to player ideas and gameplay. I bring a dice goblin who wants to roll dice, but also enjoy some fun rule of cool type of gameplay. If you don't have dice, don't worry, we have digital dice on Owlbear AND Discord - so digital dice goblins, you are also covered. In addition to all of this, I also have helpful PDFs and guides to aid with new players, character creation, gameplay, and more. And free cat content, my cats often show up during games. The cats are, admittedly, one of the coolest things, so I am finishing strong! Also, if you read THIS far, why not sign up? Session zero is free!

Homebrew rules

House Rules: Rule of Cool will prevail – but you need to roleplay it for me to believe it’s cool. When in doubt, we roll it out. Nat 20 on initiative chooses where they go in the order, after all rolls are revealed. Drinking a potion is a bonus action

How Abbi-Gm creates a safe table

The table is aggressively Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ positive. Prior to our session zero please let me know your name, pronouns, and any boundaries, triggers, lines/veils you may have. My goal is a fun time, and this includes a safe space for us to have fun. Session zero will include safety measure conversations, but I find private conversations ahead of time make it easier than discussing them in front of a group of strangers. I also have a sheet you can simply fill out to make it easier for you – safety and fun is the goal here.
