Sailing & Pirating Campaign [🏳️‍🌈 & Beginner Friendly]

Creating your character

Players will begin at level 3 unless they join later in the campaign, of which they will be brought up to the players' current level. And they will be created during session 0 via Foundry VTT. All officially published options are available with some additional ones provided by the DM via Google Spreadsheet and a Google Drive with the books. Attributes are handled in a few different ways; you can roll for it via 4d6k3 (keep the three highest rolls), standard array or take a modified point buy which I can explain more on if you join.

Preparing for the session

Players need all of the following; - A Discord account. - A microphone. - A ForgeVTT account (https://forge-vtt.com)

What Freja the DM brings to the table

I have maximum subscriptions to ForgeVTT, a license to FoundryVTT (that ForgeVTT uses), a subscription to Heroforge (for in-game humanoid monster and NPC art), a subscription to Midjourney for art (should you need some on the fly for characters while we get official art elsewhere). I will also be using Midjourney for item art as necessary, and strictly only for item art.

Homebrew rules

All homebrew rules will be reviewed in greater detail during character creation, but they are as follows; - Critical hits double both the dice and the damage modifier. - Swapping weapons/interacting with items has properly defined action economy rules. - Flanking an enemy grants 1d4 of expertise die on the attack roll. - Rolling a natural 1 while attacking through the space of a friendly/ally can result in you attacking them instead. - Fall damage has been increased from 1d6 to 1d10 to make it more deadly for both players and enemies. - Properly defined drowning rules.

How Freja the DM creates a safe table

BEFORE THE GAME... we will be going over session 0 to get everything squared away and good to go. Here you can express your expectations, my expectations and so forth. We will also be doing the Luxton Discussion Technique. DURING THE GAME... there there are several things you're more than welcome to do. Such as stop the game if things have gone too far, walk away from the "table" if you need a mental break, as well as us taking an official break roughly 2-2.5 hours into each session, including session 0. AFTER THE GAME... I will ask how everyone is doing, allowing people to debrief themselves from the game, especially after a hard fight or other stressful situation. Then, we will go over Stars and Wishes to see what we can improve upon, what we want to see, and what we're doing well in.
