About the adventure
A light hearted D&D adventure for both new players and experienced players set in a home brew, Final fantasy inspired setting of urban fantasy and ancient unknowable secrets. In a setting where conflict is common but violence isn't. We're fighting does not need to lead to death. A semi open adventure where the party follows clues, forges alliances, and makes enemies. With a focus on the mystery of the treasure, and the history of this peaceful land. Battle through traps and monsters to find the long buried pieces of an ancient puzzle. As you unlock more pieces of that grand puzzle. You will encounter members of two separate secret organizations both vying for those pieces of the puzzle. The syndicate. A circle of corporations forming a secret society attempting to control the world from the shadows. The Ark family A practically ancient long standing crime family who in modern days have become the defenders of the people. The setting features a mix of fantastical magical elements and modern technology. Kind of like if a fantasy setting managed to reach a modern tech level on their own. Magic is common and technology is widespread. Think something along the lines of a JRPG setting but with a more hopeful less edgy flavor. Expect both player characters and NPCS to have high amounts of power. And get ready to experience a lot of fun quirky setting details. i have been a game master for more than 15 years and have a lot of experience teaching people how to play DND and running games for extremely experienced players. I have run games for both at the same time, more than capable of balancing the two.

About me
My name is Lorcaster and I've been hosting D&d for over 15 years. I specialize in 5e, homebrew, and bit of lancer. The games I host are focused on player fantasy, hosting worlds full of mysteries and wonders, And incorporating as much fun stuff as I possibly can. I'm versed in the rule set of fifth edition, but prefer to play a little looser. rule of cool focused.

Creating your character
I would prefer to handle character creation with you before game time. However I will still provide the basics and what to expect here. It is going to be starting at level 2*. 1 to 1 point buy. With base stats starting at 10 and you have 12 points you can put in any stats to a max of 18. All species/race, classes, and archetypes available from all officially published Wizards of the coast 5th edition books with third party and homebrew available approval through review by me. Additionally I am willing to both help players create their characters and have preset characters available in every class for players who want to just play the game. Additionally Additionally because this is a low stakes light hearted campaign. I do not tolerate extreme power gaming. Or builds and character concepts that chafe with other players intentionally. If you want to play an adversarial player character please talk to and get the approval of the other players first.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a discord account and the free version of fantasy grounds unity. To use fantasy grounds unity you will also have to create a form account on fantasy grounds website. I am willing to assist anybody in doing either of these things. Please know that there will be no additional costs and I will not ask you to purchase anything.
What Lorcaster brings to the table
I have the ultimate version of fantasy grounds unity allowing me to host the game without extra cost to any players. I also have a lot of experience helping people through this process and I possess most of the modules in fantasy grounds unity to allow for easier gameplay. The discord server I have created is exclusively for this this game and is judiciously moderated by me. If someone is not presently participating in one of my games they do not exist in that server.
Homebrew rules
Character HP is rolled at advantage. Potions are consumed as a bonus action and roll, or consumed as a standard action and you take the highest amount. I allow for all skills to be rolled with any stat if you can explain to me your method and actions. I strongly believe in the rule of cool and will hand wave rules if they hinder the game or cause the game to not be fun. I have a goofy little rule that if somebody rolls 3 consecutive D 20s that result in the same number, everybody gets a level up. This level up bypasses the standard leveling curve and can only occur once per campaign per person.

How Lorcaster creates a safe table
There will be a large section of session 0 dedicated to discussing what parts of the game people are and are not OK with. I have a 0 tolerance policy for bullying and harassment. This is rather extreme but I would rather my players be comfortable than dread playing the game.
