🗝️💎Learn to play D&D with Keys From The Golden Vault 🪙🗡️

Creating your character

The Golden Vault is a covert but altruistic organisation, "Doing good, no matter the cost", as their motto goes. Their operations are often illegal, but they always support a just, moral cause. Adventurers working under them will take after this in some form or another, however the Vault is no stranger to working with those motivated solely by coin either. We'll be starting at Level 1, using roll4drop1 ability scores and milestone leveling. All WOTC official expansions are fine, although more outlandish creatures will need a good reason for being present for low level adventures. Most reasonable homebrew is fine, but please run it by me first before hinging your entire character on it. We will also be running a session 0 to go further into character creation and help anyone who needs it to get their head around the numbers. Uniquely to this adventure, you will have the option to change your character between heists; if your current character isn't sitting right, or you'd like to try out another class at a certain level, this can absolutely be accommodated.

Preparing for the session

Before session 0, all you need is a webcam, a mic, a discord account, and somewhere to create your character - a paper sheet, d&d beyond, up to you. Before session 1, you'll need a roll20 account, an image for your character token, and some understanding of at least the rules that pertain directly to your character (their race, class and background for example). Feel free to message me with any questions :)

What Benjamin brings to the table

🗝️ Expect to spend time making a plan to execute the heist - it will take tremendous luck for rushing in spells blazing to not result in tremendous ruin. 💎 I run the game on Discord for speaking and Roll20 for combat. 🗝️ I make liberal use of in-character dialogue and encourage players to do the same. I also encourage players to argue their cases for things like unorthodox skill checks, however ask that you respect my final ruling. 💎I tend to encourage in-character roleplaying, player decision, and creative choices. Expect engaging story that you have a say in - give me a backstory with a couple of colourful characters in it, and they'll more than likely crop up somewhere in the adventure. 🗝️ I use background music for those who want it, but one of the reasons I run games on discord is that it can be turned down or off individually. I can supply pdfs of all core rulebooks and some snazzy character sheets. 💎And, finally, I'm a professional voice actor, so expect high-quality narration in terms of both content and sound quality - check my DM profile's Youtube link for some sample narration!

How Benjamin creates a safe table

Session 0 will involve character creation, and a discussion of any triggers players might have for one's own character and the game in general. With this being a beginner's game, one of my chief responsibilities will be helping you not getting lost in a 300 page rulebook, only 30 pages of which are likely relevant. The game itself will largely be story driven, but that doesn't mean you won't have think tactically and rely on your companions when you do get into combat. Fun is what we're all here for, and sometimes nothing is more fun than a well-applied fireball.
