All WOTC core books are auto allowed.Variant,Optional,Third Party are generally allowed as long as you confirm with me.Homebrew is always fun and allowed but as long as you ask before and understand anything homebrew is subject to change New players are welcome and I will do my best at helping you understand 5e and how it plays Point buy, standard array,or rolling are valid options for stats We will start at lvl 1-3 depending on the players choice at game start Im looking exclusively for good alignment pcs that want to work together in a group ,if you want to play a loner or evil pc you will need to convince me and your other pcs that you would not be a source of internal conflict I welcome premade characters or your own homebrew but please confirm all details with me prior to campaign start so we can work together to make it awesome We are going to starting at an early level so if you write backstory please try and keep it grounded,The epic and awesome moments should be expressed during the campaign as your character grows but overall as a DM I love players to be creative and inventive, I rarely restrict and would rather offer alterative options I highly recommend that we have a 1 on 1 chat after session 0 to develop the core aspects of your characters backstory,If you have never done this before you will see a massive deference in how much easier it can make to get into character and have amazing rp with others players and npcs Very importantly my writing, world building, storytelling holds no value without your characters to experience it.YOU are the most important part of what I do,the reason I make these worlds and stories are so I can share it.I'm so delighted to have my players explore and express themselves in a safe place.I want there to be fun and laughs obviously but I want you to feel invested in these new lives you get to live for a few hours every week,I want you to learn from the heroism,loss and ambitions of them and use it to empower your confidence in life

Preparing for the session

A discord account will be needed for voice chat,Foundry VTT is our platform and it needs no account creation,I will give you link to the foundry server If it your first time using foundry I will guide you through everything but i do recommend watching a beginners guide.I recommend the Players Guide to Foundry by DungeonMaster Josh

What Elbain brings to the table

My goal is to give my players a living, open world brimming with possibility .A sandbox where every corner holds intrigue, danger, and most importantly discovery. From the fractured remnants of the Legion, once an empire of boundless knowledge and ambition, to the River Kingdoms, ruled by three brother kings who harness the rivers to drive both magic and science and the Seekers who make there home in the shifting sands uncovering old ruins of "The Ancestors"....the world is yours to shape. Every tool at my disposal is used to bring Alexandria to life. Custom playlists to set the mood, handcrafted world maps with climate and political simulations,battle maps with interactable elements, homebrewed monsters, items, and spells.In the future I'm hoping to have professionally voiced npcs but for now I do my best to give every npc a unique personality and voice. Foundry gives me access to some powerful tools, Animated attacks,spells,creatures and maps are common, Sound triggers. Layered maps, Dynamic weather on battle maps, Soundscapes, Dynamic vision and lighting, Experience dnd with ease like never before with 1 press auto setup macros for most actions Most importantly, your story matters here. I’ll weave your character’s backstory into the greater tapestry of the world so that together, we can tell something unforgettable, an adventure truly worthy of legend.

How Elbain creates a safe table

Session 0 will establish lines and veils.I will ask my players what's off limits and what should be veiled, If a topic trigger is missed the players should use the Luxton technique during the session to inform me of this.at the end of the session I will ask my players again if anything was over there boundaries and adjust from there
