Fog and Fury | beginner friendly

Creating your character

We’re creating characters during session zero as a party, using a crew-first approach. Please spare a couple minutes beforehand on what kind of crew and scoundrel you’d like to play (and those you’d rather not).

Preparing for the session

Make sure you can connect to Roll20 before the game and please check if your Discord's audio/video is operational. Please use earplugs or headphones, and avoid playing from your phone if possible.

What DC brings to the table

We'll primarily use theatre of the mind, with Roll20 handling character sheets, clocks, dice, handouts, and city maps. Session zero will start with an introduction or brief refresher on the setting and system, discuss expectations for the planned campaign, and cover safety tools. Assuming all goes well, we'll create your crew and characters, and establish your headquarters and starting hunting grounds in Doskvol. No preparation is needed on your part, but you'll find links and resources for ‘Blades in the Dark’ on the Discord server.

How DC creates a safe table

We'll talk over themes, expectations, as well as lines and veils for the game during session zero, covering most of our bases. We'll use stars and wishes after each session to steer the game and manage any problem or misunderstanding that may emerge. Finally, feel free to send me any feedback or message if you feel there's something that needs addressing.
