Red Hand of Doom: Shadow of War | Tactical, Challenging Combat

Creating your character

We will be using a modified, 34 Point Buy which results in stronger characters. Options from the 2024 Core Rules plus the Expanded Rules are allowed. There will be a session zero which will include character creation, so no stress if you need any help with it. This will ensure a coherent party for a more harmonious game. Players who wish to have a headstart will have access to the entirety of the allowed character options on D&D Beyond, along with a detailed guide on how to do so. Characters will be finalized during session 0, so you can change your mind or tweak your character up to the last second before we play. Pregenerated characters will be available on request.

Preparing for the session

Microphone, in a relatively quiet environment is required. Webcam is optional but highly preferred. It enhances communication significantly. You will be needing an account on D&D Beyond and Discord. (Both free) I will be providing access to a Discord server with detailed guides on all aspects of gameplay. Reading them is OPTIONAL, we will have time to go through everything together, during play. Please contact me in discord after you sign up to add you to the server or use the link provided in the prep material.

What Themis "Zahariel" brings to the table

Everything you will need for character creation on D&D Beyond Foundry VTT with automated Spells, Features, Immersive Maps, Dynamic Lighting and Ambience. A relaxed, safe and inclusive environment where you can have fun. Deep knowledge of the game and the drive to make all of your ideas (crazy or not) into reality. Each player will receive a custom animated token for their character (after 4 sessions) as well as a free session if you commission art for your character (after 8 sessions).

Homebrew rules

More uses for and ways to regain Heroic Inspiration. Bonus action to drink potions, action to get the full amount without rolling.

How Themis "Zahariel" creates a safe table

The content of this game will be focused around war. Expect to see destruction & peril akin to a PG film. We will be having a Session 0 to discuss expectations and safety. We will talk about lines, veils and limits to ensure it still remains a safe space and everyone feels comfortable. For our safety tools, we will be using Lines and Veils, the X,N,O card system inside Foundry VTT, as well as Stars & Wishes at the end of each session. Should the above not prove enough, I'm always available for any concerns. We will be taking a 10 minute break at an appropriate point close to the middle of the session. There will be a zero tolerance policy on bullying, sexual harassment, racism, hate speech and prejudice. Those who do not abide by these standards will be removed from the game with no refund.
