Eternal Beacon Roleplay | Drop-In D&D 5E | West March Guild

Creating your character

All characters begin at Level 4 and must be created before your first session. After booking, you will receive access to a private Discord support ticket where our squires are available to help you build and verify your character. Ability Scores: Point Buy only (27-point system). Rolling and Standard Array are not allowed. Platform: Characters are created using D&D Beyond. Starting Gear: You begin with 1 free tool proficiency of your choice (granted by the server) and 2 healing potions at character creation. Ruleset: We use the 2024 D&D rules as the primary system, with select 2014 options allowed on a case-by-case basis. All legacy content must be approved and adjusted to align with 2024 rules. Approved Content: After booking, you will receive a Discord support ticket with a link to the full list of approved playable content for this campaign. All characters are members of SteelHawk International, a for-profit adventuring guild operating across the elemental world of Karagatan. If you are new to D&D or need assistance, guidance is available every step of the way!

Preparing for the session

Before your first session, players will need the following: A working microphone is required for clear voice communication. A webcam is optional. You will need a D&D Beyond account for character creation. Sessions are played on Roll20, so a free Roll20 account and a stable internet connection are required. After booking, you will receive an invitation to our Discord server. Discord is used for voice, coordination, and character support. Once inside Discord, you will be given access to a private support ticket. Our squires will assist with character creation, verification, and importing your character into Roll20. No prior experience or rulebook reading is required. Guidance is available throughout the setup process and during play.

What Wolf brings to the table

My games are cinematic, immersive, and emotionally driven. I provide a fully supported VTT experience with custom maps, tokens, mood art, and integrated Roll20 rule references. Ambient music and visual transitions help pull players into the world from the very first scene. Each session balances meaningful roleplay with technically satisfying combat. Whether you are negotiating with ancient spirits or ambushing an enemy warband, the stakes are clear and the outcomes matter. I do not rely on character voices, but I focus heavily on pacing, clarity, and player agency to keep scenes engaging and purposeful. My preparation is foundational to my GM style. I build the world, its factions, and its pressure points, but how players engage with them is entirely up to the table. Sessions are structured to work as complete missions, while still contributing to long-term consequences in a living world. I run Rules as Written as the default, with room for the Rule of Cool when it enhances the moment without breaking consistency. Players can expect a high-trust table, deep worldbuilding, and a space where their characters’ choices and legacies matter. You will not just explore Karagatan—you will help shape what it becomes.

Homebrew rules

This campaign primarily uses the 2024 D&D rules, with a small number of server-wide house rules to support balance, pacing, and consistency across a shared world. These include limits on stacking permanent armor bonuses, clarified flanking rules, and minor adjustments to how critical successes, failures, and death saves are handled. Some consequences for dropping to 0 HP are used to reinforce tension and meaningful risk without being punitive. All homebrew rules are applied consistently and are shared in full after booking through our Discord server. Nothing is hidden, and questions are always welcome before play.

How Wolf creates a safe table

I run a welcoming table where player comfort and trust are taken seriously. Safety at the table is handled through clear communication, respect, and active GM moderation rather than formal systems. Players are always free to pause a scene, step away, or message me privately at any time if something feels uncomfortable. No explanation is required, and concerns are addressed promptly and discreetly. Because this is a drop-in, episodic campaign, there is no formal Session 0. Expectations and tone are communicated during onboarding, and I check in as needed during and after play, especially following intense scenes. An Open Door policy is always in effect. If a player ever prefers to speak with someone other than the GM, a community guardian is available through the Discord server to help listen, support, or mediate concerns when needed. The goal is a table where players feel safe engaging deeply with the story, confident that boundaries will be respected and that their comfort matters.
