Welcome to the Hellfire Club: A Stranger Things Adventure

Creating your character

We will be using all standard and expanded rules to create characters, 3rd party content will not be permitted. Please review classes and subclasses that you are interested in playing - we will discuss our preferences at the table to ensure no overlap before going into one-on-ones to discuss your backstory and more in-depth character information as GM and Player. Players can also choose from a selection of pre-made characters as provided with the "Welcome to Hellfire Club" module that are based on the characters played by the members of the Hellfire Club in the Netflix series Stranger Things. Character sheets will be created at the table in Session 0. Please note: only one of each class will be allowed to ensure we have a nice balance amongst the team. If you believe you might have existing bonds with another character that is allowed and encouraged if backstories align. The GM will also facilitate existing bonds during this session.

Preparing for the session

Please have the following prepared: - Webcam, Microphone, and Stable Internet Connection. Headphones are not required but encouraged. - Zoom (installed and updated) - D&D Beyond Account (this will be required to access maps and characters) - Dice: you are welcome to roll your own set of dice, or virtually roll through D&D Beyond. - Notepad & writing utensil

How Spencer creates a safe table

My general Rules of Engagement are as follows: - Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, and Transphobia are not tolerated. Any instances of such will result in one warning before being ejected from the game - Language: swearing/cursing should not be directed at each other - No cross chatter on video calls, private chats are fine - Should you encounter play that you are uncomfortable with, private message me as the GM to let me know what has made you uncomfortable. Should it require a break I will call for one, or should it just require a redirection of the action I will make adjustments as needed. - Breaks will be given at strategic moments of game play called by the GM or as requested.
