About me
I enjoy all things Science Fiction, Fantasy, and I enjoy board games, especially party games. I try to instill this in my still impressionable kids but alas my wife is resistant to the dark side after all these years but I still try.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
* Level 1 Characters * Standard Array Stats * Start with 1 common magical item (Please come up with a backstory on how you got this magical item) We will have a session zero (free session) to discuss more details on character backgrounds, such as where you come from, if party members know each other, or if you have secrets you are hiding. I also have character hooks specific to this campaign. I also have pre-generated characters that you can choose from.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
* Discord Account * D&D Beyond Account In our discord server, we will use the following bots * Avrae - discord dice bot * Tupperbox - allows us to have multiple discord profiles to enhance our roleplaying. I will add you to our campaign in D&D Beyond. Think about what kind of character you want to play and their background. I will also add you to our discord server so you can work with other players to go over character creation and if you want to share backgrounds with each other.
