Zombie Apocalypse + Magic - Modern D&D 5E & Zombies (also cozy?)

Creating your character

We will do character creation together - once I go over some setting basics and such, we can homebrew some cool stuff to fit into this modern setting. Point buy system is preferred, but again, experienced players, open to whatever methods.

Preparing for the session

I have a ton of materials you are welcome to read up on, but you don't need to. We will make characters together, and i will provide some text documents to help guide that. Other than that, we will use Discord and Owlbear Rodeo for the game, so just be sure you have a good internet connection and troubleshoot any audio issues you may have - I am available ahead of sessions to test gear if needed - just let me know!

What Abbi-Gm brings to the table

Custom maps, creative improv, a sandbox with tons of information, but a GM Author who is eager to see you make your mark on a world she built for cozy chaos. I have PDFs of materials, and probably more lore and side stories than you could ever want to explore. I have a positive "heck yeah" attitude about homebrew, obviously, and am willing to work with players to make sure we all have the most fun possible.

Homebrew rules

House Rules: Rule of Cool will prevail – but you need to roleplay it for me to believe it’s cool. When in doubt, we roll it out. Nat 20 on initiative chooses where they go in the order, after all rolls are revealed. We decide as a group how to handle Critical Hits during session 0. Drinking a potion is a bonus action

How Abbi-Gm creates a safe table

Prior to game play, there will be a consent checklist sent following the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist, to establish Lines and Veils for safety – I think having the privacy to state your boundaries without others works well. During game, you can DM me X,N, and O (or say out loud, if you are so inclined) during gameplay. It’s okay to have those boundaries we discussed ahead of time change. Should you wish to have a conversation more in line with the Luxton Technique, take charge and discuss, we can also do that. We will then have a session zero where any boundaries are policies are set, we go over any character questions, and just make sure we are all on the same page before we actually play. Prior to any session, you will often find me in Discord, so if before a session, you would like to discuss anything feel free. I am available after each session in Discord to debrief, discuss, and check in about the game – I know this isn’t for everyone, but I will be available for at least thirty minutes or so after a session. I like to use this time to chat and achieve other safety objectives, like Stars and Wishes, aftercare/bleed check ins, etc. I find this approach allows us to observe a myriad of safety tools to ensure players are safe. Should you have any questions or requests for safety tools, please do not hesitate to let me know. I also follow the Open Door policy regarding playing – you can always step away for your own safety or well-being, no questions asked, without any judgement.
