About me
Well met! Since I could pick up a pencil, Iāve been a huge fan of telling stories. Creating characters, breathing life into them, all of that is so much fun. Introduction to Baldurās Gate 3 led me to falling in love with the Forgotten Realms, and Iāve been having a swell time creating stories there now. I enjoy inhabiting the world and giving players a backdrop to portray their own stories. While my experience so far has been with Dungeons and Dragons 5E 2024 and Old School Essentials, Iāve enjoyed my time playing and DMing both systems and have fallen in love with the gameplay.

Creating your character
Here's how you'll make your character. You'll create your character in DNDBeyond for ease of building, then the character will be imported into Foundry. ⨠Roll for stats (using a special bot on the discord server), point buy, or standard array - your choice! āļø 2024 Rules ā”ļø All published Wizards of the Coast books and DNDBeyond partnered content that I own on DNDBeyond are welcome. Region content is not locked (so you can use Eberron, Dragonlance, etc. content) but please be ready to reflavor the content to Forgotten Realms! š„ Characters start at Level 2 š¹ One common magic item to start with (that isn't a weapon or armor) All of this information is available in the Discord server when you join. Most importantly, make a character you will enjoy playing, and one thatās interested in adventuring and working with their party to accomplish their shared goals!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using: š² Foundry VTT š§ Discord š D&D Beyond You will be invited to the discord when you join :)
What Cy brings to the table
š Exciting roleplay opportunities and a chance to join one of the notorious guilds in Waterdeep šŗļø An excellent VTT with neat maps and ambient music. I have subscriptions to many map-making, animation, sound effect, and music Patreons that I integrate into the experience. āļø Exciting combat that's optimized on the VTT to be quick and efficient, so you're not waiting a long time for your turn to come back around and can focus on the fun part - battle tactics! š Enough loot that you wonāt be starved for gold and items, with defeated enemies being lootable on the VTT āļø 2024 RAW (Rules as Written) š Lots of books on D&D Beyond to customize your character and no region-locking as long as you're willing to reflavor the content to Forgotten Realms
Homebrew rules
š§Ŗ Drink a healing potion as an action to gain the full effect, or as a bonus action to roll for effect š§Ø Explosive Crits give you max damage on your first damage roll, then you roll the extra dice and add them as usual ā”ļø Flanking is permitted. You must be opposite the enemy to receive flanking bonus, which gives you advantage.
