Planescape: Sigil City every Other Sunday.

Creating your character

We will talk about character creation in our text channel once we have joined the game. I have most of the official and third party content for creating characters for this game. I will be using content sharing in this campaign through DndBeyond. The nature of this Planescape Campaign will have us create third level characters to start, with starting equipment and an uncommon magic item of your choice. Before getting too far into dreaming up a single character, know that we will be using an optional rule where we will create not one, but three characters. This Glitch Feature has it so each Player will control not just a single form, but three incarnations. These incarnations/characters all share the same level and advance at the same time but they can otherwise be as different or as similar as each player wishes. The characters might use completely different character class options, they might be very different species or the could have only the slightest difference in cosmetic appearance. This allows each player to be as creative or as simple as they choose in the creation process. A player plays only one Incarnation at a time, switching incarnations when a character dies. But characters don't actually die, instead players get to cycle through their three characters in this high stakes and deadly world of Fiends and Celestials, Automatons and Awakened Tigers, Time Dragons and Cranium Rats. I will have all the books necessary to play and will share them with you so you can have a fun, low stress time creating the three characters we'll start the game with. No need to have any books of your own. Please allow me to present the information needed for the game and do not read the Planescape books. In the past I have allowed standard array, point buy and rolled attributes on DnDBeyond, we can decide as a group if we want to exclude or add any other options. We will have a session zero where we can as a group create lines and veils surrounding content for our game at that time we can talk about character ideas and make characters together, or we might have already made characters on your own. Again either option is acceptable.

Preparing for the session

Know that this game is bi-weekly and must run on alternate weeks from DM"S existing commitment. Once enough players have joined we will be playing on alternating Sundays. (example 11-2, 11-16, 11-30) All you will need is to wait for the link to the discord channel. Once there, you will find another way to message me as your GM. Links to the free accounts you will need will be provided there and no Foundry/DnDBeyond?Discord purchases are necessary to play. Just come with appetite for fun voices, tactical battles and loads of character options.

What GM James Pintado brings to the table

You only need a computer capable of running Foundry, a free to you browser based virtual table top program. You'll need a working mic, in a quiet location with reliable internet connection. I will send a link to a discord account that we will use for communication during and outside of our game. It will host the audio channel we will use for sound with our game as well as text and message channels for out of gaem communication. It will be stocked with all the necessary links to play, the character creation (DnDbeyond) site we'll use, the table top we'll use for battles (Foundry) and a Lore text channel with information about the locations and characters in the game.

Homebrew rules

We will add any homebrew rules we like during our ssssion zero. I also have a system for gaining game points for players writing game recaps and other game tasks to gain points. Points are spent on heroic inspiration or banked for feats, Ability score increases or even level ups.

How GM James Pintado creates a safe table

We will meet in a text channel and once we have enough players we will begin with a session zero. There we will determine lines and veils, but it should be known I run a "No T.R.A.S.H." table. No Transphobia, No Racism, No Ableism, No Sexism and No Homophobia. If we can imagine dragons we can image a world with less real world hate. Other than that, we can all curate together if we want to add other subjects to skip completely (Lines) or minimize details on (Veils). That subject matter is created in the session zero but can be added to throughout our time together as a campaign. Lastly every session ends with a star and wishes moment where players can voice things they liked or disliked in a game and what them might like to see more influencing future sessions. I use this tool and an open door policy on my discord messages to make sure players can voice things that come up that might bother or challenge them.
