Ragin' Desperados, Sidewinder Recoiled

Creating your character

All characters must be completed prior to the start of the first session the player takes part in. For players joining the game at session 1, they need to create a 3rd overall level character. For players joining later on in the campaign, your starting level will be determined by where the rest of the players are as of when you sign up. Players are to stick to using the main Sidewinder Recoiled book for character creation and equipment choices. The choice of some equipment may be subject to review. No lone wolf types. No characters that are going to be a liability to the team. No characters who are going to turn traitor down the line. Simpler put, all characters need to be able to function within a group/team dynamic. As I am only human, if I think of something else later on that will affect character creation, you will be informed of it. I am always free to assist with character creation. For stat determination, roll 4d6, then drop the lowest die.

Preparing for the session

All players need to have a Discord account, as that is where the game will be played. Players need to have either real dice or an honest dice roller. Players will need a working microphone so as to be heard by the GM and the other players. Don't worry about a webcam, unless you feel it's absolutely critical for everyone else to see you. If you don't already know the rules, I will gladly teach them to you or you can read them yourself on your own if you have access to the appropriate source materials. Barring that, for players new to the system's first few sessions, I will gladly also explain the rules as we go, as I understand that some players learn easier/better from being shown in a more hands-on setting. As this game is open to all player experience levels, seasoned players are politely requested to give players new to the system time to catch on and are thanked for their patience and understanding ahead of time.

What JP McClendon brings to the table

For players that don't already have the materials, I do, including copies of blank character sheets. For some rules, I will be strictly sticking to their write-up. For others, I am flexible if I think there is a bit of wiggle room. As for my GM style, major NPCs tend to have their own voice, even if I am not putting on a voice.

How JP McClendon creates a safe table

Virtually all listed triggers are potential. Just because a posted trigger is shown on the list does not a guarantee that it will ever actually come up, but the fact that it is possible that it might is why I have listed it. Obviously, my intention is never to upset, offend, or trigger anyone, either on purpose or accidental. I request that should something ever come up, that a player let it be known on the spot rather than waiting to tell me after a session. A player's comfort with the game is a priority to me.
