Lost Mine of Phandelver: A friendly for news dnd campaing

Creating your character

Characters will be created before the first session using D&D Beyond, and players should share their sheets with me via link. We will use the 27‑point buy system for ability scores, and all characters will begin at Level 1. Allowed sources include the Player’s Handbook plus supplements such as Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse, Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons, and Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants. Other setting‑specific books, such as Eberron: Rising from the Last War or Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos, are not permitted. Creativity and collaboration are encouraged, but please keep builds within these guidelines to ensure a balanced and fun experience for everyone. If you are new to character creation, I will gladly walk you through the process step by step so you feel comfortable and ready to play.

Preparing for the session

Before the game begins, players should join my Discord server, which will be our main hub for communication and sessions. A working microphone is required to ensure smooth voice interaction during play. While not mandatory, having a Talespire account is highly recommended, as the game will be run using Talespire for enhanced visual immersion and tactical gameplay. That’s all you need—simple setup, ready for adventure.

What Tomix brings to the table

As your Dungeon Master, I aim to create an immersive and enjoyable experience where every player feels engaged. I use ambient background music to set the mood, whether it’s the tension of a looming battle or the calm of a quiet tavern. My combat style is generally straightforward but with a touch of tactical depth, giving space for clever positioning and teamwork without slowing down the pace of the game. When it comes to rules, I follow them closely and consistently to ensure fairness and clarity at the table. That said, I also believe in the Rule of Cool—if a player comes up with something creative, cinematic, and fun, I’ll bend the rules when it enhances the story and everyone’s enjoyment. Above all, I provide a space where collaboration, creativity, and storytelling come first. Expect a balanced mix of roleplay, exploration, and combat, with plenty of opportunities for your characters to shine and shape the adventure together.

How Tomix creates a safe table

Player safety and comfort are always a priority at my table. Before the campaign begins, we will have a Session 0 to go over expectations, character creation, and table etiquette. During this session, I will also share a simple Lines and Veils document so players can mark any topics they’d prefer to avoid or handle off‑screen. I use X, N, and O cards in digital form (through chat or quick messages) so players can signal in real time if something makes them uncomfortable, if they’d like to pause, or if they’re especially enjoying a moment. These tools ensure that everyone feels heard and respected without interrupting the flow of the game. After each session, I check in briefly with players for aftercare, giving space to share highlights, concerns, or adjustments for next time. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy the adventure, knowing that their boundaries are respected and their fun is the priority.
