🏮 Asian Folklore Sandbox 🎑 The Three Kingdoms Reimagined 🐉

Creating your character

Characters will begin at Level 1 using the Point Buy system (unless we have a group of experienced players, we can start at 3!) A setting primer and access to my DNDBeyond will be provided upon registration for the adventure. All official and homebrew materials are welcome to be requested as long as homebrew or expanded content is flagged with me beforehand so we can fit it in/balance if needed :) I love putting a lot of care and attention into Character Creation before Session 1 with; ■ 1:1 chat to help you go through initial character ideas and explore what kind of game you're most interested in playing ■ Group Session 0 once we have at least 3 players to build a united idea of the narrative and game we'll be pursuing as well as any inter-party history that players might want ■ Full access to my DND Beyond subscription to help you plan your character before Session 0. Once characters are completed, I'll help you import them into FoundryVTT for play.

Preparing for the session

🗺️ Bring your mic, laptop/desktop and a way to take notes, it's time to experience Lu-En. Outside of that, all you need is a character idea and desire for that character to be part of a great adventure.

What Robin brings to the table

🔮 Full FoundryVTT integration of ambient music, sound effects, token artwork and gameplay. 💎 Customised character tokens, journals and virtual props to make you really feel like a dungeon-delving hero. 🔥 A mechanically knowledgeable GM who loves the rule-of-cool and isn't afraid to make on-the-fly adjudications for player ideas. 🧝🏼‍♂️ Fully voiced and fleshed out NPCs for you to interact with, including many expanded ones not in the original module. 🔨 Responsive and active discord for managing things like downtime, NPC relations and shopping!

Homebrew rules

🎲 STACKING ADVANTAGE: To encourage teamwork, Advantage is giving a +2 stacking benefit after the first instance of Advantage. Disadvantage works the same. ⚔️ WEAPON MASTERY+5: Characters with Weapon Mastery can use multiple Weapon Masteries with a single weapon type, selecting which to use on their attacks. However the effects of Weapon Mastery only trigger if they beat a creature's AC by +5 (encouraging Advantage stacking and effects such as Bless). ❤️‍🩹 HIT DICE AND RECOVERY: Characters do not automatically heal and only regain 1/2 of their resources during rests. Instead Hit Dice must be used to heal HP and can be used to purchase Long Rest resources (such as Rages, Spell Slots etc) at a 1:1 ratio. This is managed mostly automatically through a custom FoundryVTT setting for ease of players. 🤒 EXHAUSTION AND GOING TO 0: A character that is reduced to 0HP gains a level of Exhaustion (5e 2024 rules) upon being brought back to consciousness. Characters can also take a level of Exhaustion to succeed a check that they would fail by 1. BELTED ITEM: Each character has a "belted item" which they can quickly reach and use as a Bonus Action or Move Action instead of a standard Action. The Thief subclass gets this belted item as a Free Action instead. 🛡️ CRITICAL ROLE'S DESPERATE MEASURES: https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Desperate_Measures_(game_mechanics)

How Robin creates a safe table

I try to always set up a private conversation to go over any special safety tools or needs for players and see if this game is the right match for you. We will also do a session 0 and send consent forms where I will know what type of content avoid if it makes you uncomfortable. All Safety Tools are digital and a link will be provided to players upon completing session 0. I'm quite active in checking up on players aftergames as a form of aftercare as well. I heavily encourage discussion and facilitation of safe space.
