About the adventure
Welcome to D&D with Niesa! Before every one-shot there will be a brief session zero built in to go over things like concerns, limits, and house rules. I want to be sure everyone can have the best fun they are looking for, and what I should know about each of your characters for the best immersion experience I can offer. Get to meet beloved NPCs, go on Daring Adventures and exploration, learn Lore of the Forgotten Realms and enjoy games for experienced players and brand new players. Each episode will be a unique One-Shot catering to level 5 characters. For your character you can use any Character builder you would like, using a variety of content for 5e, using 2014 rule sets please. Feel free to message me in the Discord if you have any questions about it! You would also be able to start with one common or uncommon magic item provided that you can explain owning it within character. To get the best immersion I can offer which helps those who are neurodivergent especially (I know I sure struggle with attention with 2D maps!), I use Talespire. Talespire utilizes as much immersion as online has to offer with sounds, 3D and customizations. It is a program that you can purchase through Steam but I also have purchased "Seats" - Which means up to 4 players at once can join my games using the program for free! If the program itself is difficult for you or not supported by your current system I am always open to Screen Sharing my own view onto the Discord channel for those who would like to watch but not interact. The game will be kept clean, balancing combat and RP together with safety tools to keep everyone comfortable. No experience needed and very welcoming to new players and neurodivergence. My games are open to all ages as well!

About me
I'm a homeschool mom, specializing in DMing for Newbies and helping people learn the game both in person and online. I usually utilize the Forgotten Realms allowing people to learn more of the Lore and get familiar with base concepts of the game, but I do include some Homebrew to keep things fresh and a few fun house rules to keep things more engaging. I prefer to utilize Talespire (one time puchase on Steam, or message me to use my prepaid Seats which let you try the program) when playing online because it brings in the use of 3D and player interaction far more than anything I have found (great for things like ADHD). It also helps integrate sound and ambiance. I am also able to ScreenShare with Discord should you not wish to get Talespire yet. I look forward to playing with you all! I will be running regular One Shots on a weekly basis! I run a welcoming table with as much immersion as possible, creativity rewarded and helpful patience for new players. Neurodiversity is welcomed and understood; and I like to keep the table Clean. I am a Christian, which does come with some adaptations of 5E as I do not include anything Occultic and avoid demonology. I am willing to be stricter on Pantheons or other areas for custom requests.

Creating your character
Please come prepared with a Level 5 Character with capabilities compatible to the Forgotten Realms. Feel free to use added 5E content with approval from me through the Discord. We are using 2014 rule sets. I do allow you to choose how you wish to build your stats, but I do prefer point buy as I find it more balanced among the party. You may also use any character building program you like, be it D&D Beyond, Roll 20, Pen and Paper or some other system. For these one shots I allow MAX Hit Die usage to set up your MAX HP. So the full 5D8 for example, being 40 plus modifiers. For repeat customers I have my own Database which allows Character Sheets as well which is a phenomenal resource full of added spells, subclasses, more races and classes etc. Please have your characters ready in advance. As an added bonus if you have your own Talespire you can also connect your HeroForge account to it, and install a digital mini of your character! Otherwise I can prep you with a generic one from the program. If you need ANY help with character creation, minis, concerns before the game etc I am always available to answer questions!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Mic and your Discord Account. You may choose to use your own Talespire, one of my "seats" (Talespire free), or to have the Discord Screenshare of my Talespire so that you may take part in the visual and audio of the game itself. Please have your characters ready and familiarize yourself with your character sheet, I am available for any questions before the game happens and happy to help as needed so you are ready to play at game time. The Discord Link is https://discord.gg/ZWXNfQCM Once in please check the House Rules page and the pinned message in Safety Measures.
What DM Niesa brings to the table
I bring along the use of Talespire to build 3D immersion, audio for sound effects and ambiance and interactive maps. This allows HeroForge to connect and bring in your own mini's if you would like and have your own Talespire account. I also have extra Seats in Talespire, which allow you to use the game and enjoy it off of my own purchase. For repeat customers I also allow access to my own special databank with resources for character creation. I am a pretty lax GM. I utilize the Rule of Cool within reason and love using expanded content from sources beyond WoTC. Things like from DMs Guild and Kobold Press. I go with the flow of the party, happily blending to their styles so we all can enjoy our games to the fullest.
Homebrew rules
- Nat 20 on Initiative means choose your place in combat / OR Surprise Round. Nat 1 is last place and Miss first round. - Initiative ties allow the players to intermesh their turns - Initiative side by side means they can strategize - Attack rolls double the target's AC Count as a Crit - Use Crit Cards and Dice (plus max damage possibly) - After level 10 Attack rolls over the target's AC - 5 is a 1/2 damage hit BUT Opponent gets a free reaction - Lingering Injuries, Broken Weapons both possible after hitting 0 HP twice or 2 crits in combat - Use an action for Health Potion is full healing, but roll for healing if you use a bonus action.
