About the adventure
I'm running this mostly for new players wanting to learn how to play. This module gives you a run through some of the favorite dungeons written for the game, re-made for 5e. I plan on running through all seven to complete the campaign, maybe adding an extra for a level boost before the ending delve. Setting will vary from place to place, but all Faerun. The theme is high fantasy dungeon delving.

About me
I am a 32 year old trans woman with two kids and about 10 years of D&D experience overall, with a mix of playing and more recently GM-ing. While I have only played D&D, I have been looking into other systems to run as well. I'm really relaxed when it comes to playing and love teaching newcomers and being corrected by the veterans, so my tables are for anyone who is here for a fun time and a good story we all make happen together.

Creating your character
-Standard Array/Point Buy -2024 rules, but you may use 2014 options -If using 2014 grab a feat to start, as 2024 backgrounds grant feats to start, this keeps balance -Starting level 1 -I prefer official content, but 3rd party may be allowed if I check it first If you make a character before session zero, I can check it over and it saves time for other things that session. If you need help making a character and need to wait until session zero that is fine too!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord and Roll20 account, as I play in my server over voice chat. You will not have to speak over voice chat if you don't want to, typing is fine!
What Sylvr brings to the table
Expect music, voices, a soundboard, and lots of fun! The more creative you are with your character, the more the rule of cool is going to override what is written!

How Sylvr creates a safe table
Session Zero will start with me asking about any boundaries/triggers I need to be aware of, as well as making sure everyone has a clear way of communicating if something comes up they didn't think about in Session Zero. I want everyone comfortable and having fun at my table.
