War of Everlasting Darkness: Beginner Friendly Heroic Campaign

Creating your character

Character creation will take place during Session 0 using Roll20. We’ll be using the 2014 D&D 5e Player’s Handbook for character options, and all characters will begin at Level 1 using the standard stat array. Pre-generated characters will be available for anyone who wants to jump in quickly or are brand new to D&D. If you’d like extra support, I’m also happy to meet before Session 0 to help you create your character or talk through concepts and options. New players are always welcome: no prior experience required.

Preparing for the session

1. Create a free Discord account and be ready to join my Discord server (invite link provided after signup). For the best user experience I recommend downloading the discord app instead of using the web-browser experience. 2. Create a free Roll20 account for maps, character sheets, and gameplay 3. Make sure you have: * A computer or laptop with a working mouse and keyboard * Stable internet connection * Headphones and a working microphone * Webcam: A webcam is only suggested for the initial meet-and-greet and Session 0. After that, webcam use is optional and up to each player’s comfort level. I am committed to having my webcam on most sessions.

What Britt brings to the table

I provide a welcoming, story-driven D&D experience where player choices matter and everyone gets a chance to shine. My games focus on immersive roleplay, meaningful character moments, and cinematic combat, with a tone that balances dark fantasy stakes and hopeful heroism. You can expect distinct NPCs and a solid attempt at some character voicing, supported by ambient music and soundscapes to help set the mood. Combat is engaging and purposeful: designed to feel tense and exciting without being overwhelming. My GM style embraces the Rule of Cool when it enhances the narrative, while still respecting the rules to keep the game fair and consistent. I’m happy to teach mechanics as we play, making this a beginner-friendly table that also stays interesting for experienced players. Above all, I prioritize collaboration, clear communication, and a supportive table culture where creativity is encouraged and everyone feels comfortable taking part.

Homebrew rules

Campaign Structure & Rules Originally released through Dungeons & Dragons Encounters, War of Everlasting Darkness is a campaign made up of connected adventures that each stand on their own, while together telling a larger, epic story. Enemies and combat encounters have been updated to 2014 5th Edition stats to provide a rewarding and balanced challenge. Character progression uses milestone levelling. The campaign is planned for 10–15 sessions, with pacing adjusted based on player feedback to ensure a satisfying story arc

How Britt creates a safe table

Player safety and comfort are a priority at my table. During Session 0, we’ll review all of the safety tools chosen, with full resources available in our private Discord server. The player survey I send out also provides a link to the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist. Survey results are used to create the campaigns Lines and Veils. While the Lines and Veils may be shared when necessary with players, all contributions remain anonymous. We use the X, N, & O card system, with digital options for no-camera sessions. Each session includes a 5-minute break, and aftercare or check-ins are used when intense moments arise. Stars and Wishes may be submitted privately after each session. Harmful behaviour is not tolerated. Players who refuse to stop harmful behaviour will be removed from the session; a second offence results in removal from the campaign. Hate speech, racism, discrimination, or real-world threats have zero tolerance and result in immediate dismissal.
