The War Below Ashpeak | A Shadowdark Dungeon Crawl

Creating your character

We'll create characters together during Session 0. Characters will be created according to the rulebook, with some minor tweaks to make sure you can play the kind of character you want to for this campaign. If you join the campaign after the start, we'll schedule a time outside of game to create characters and go over what was covered during Session 0.

Preparing for the session

Please make sure you have a Discord login. We'll use it for voice chat during game and to keep in touch between sessions. You will need a mic. If you'll be playing from a noisy place or a place with lots of distractions, you need to have PTT (Push To Talk) in Discord set up before the game starts. This is a courtesy to your fellow players as well as the GM.

What Zeke brings to the table

This game will be run on Foundry VTT, with custom maps. The campaign is entirely of my own design, and is filled with monsters and traps from both official sources and my own devious mind. I'll have a handful of pre-generated characters you can choose from if your characters aren't ready in time to play, or if they meet an untimely end during the game.

Homebrew rules

alternate leveling system that replaces XP, streamlined loot selling, Nord deities have been replaced with similar fantasy deities, no PvP

How Zeke creates a safe table

We'll talk about player safety during Session 0. This will be very important because the game's story has some gruesome thematic elements, and I want to know if I need to modify or remove them before I introduce them in game. During play, we'll use X-cards as a safety and consent tool. I have an "X-Card" module loaded into foundry that lets you play your card at the push of a button. I will also be available for at least 30 minutes before and after the session if you want to talk about content or any other game-related issues.
