Exandria: The Lost Mine

Creating your character

We will create characters together during Session 0, using the standard array. Please do come with a character concept and a brief (one page) background story of your character if you so desire. Pre-made characters will also be available to choose from.

Preparing for the session

Create a free account on Roll20 if you do not already have one, Create a free account on Discord if you do not already have one, A good microphone is recommended, A good internet connection, Think of a character concept with a reason to adventure with the rest of the group.

What Oginme brings to the table

Note: We will use the 2024 Player's handbook as the main compendium for this campaign. Other compendiums from 2014 may be made available with consent from all players. Maps, dice rolls, character sheets, and handouts will be on Roll20. Voice and music/ambient sounds will be over Discord. There is a dedicated discord channel for the game which will include areas for out of session role play, general session notes, lore and setting knowledge, and announcements. I use custom maps for most encounters and settings. The move to a map is not a sign that things will devolve into combat. Instead, there will be things on the map for you to take note of and use to your advantage. These maps are also more immersive with detail and color to make things interesting and show terrain and objects with which you can interact or use. I do create a written summary of each session on both the Roll20 game forum and on Discord for your personal enjoyment and/or reference. A soundtrack accompanies each session to help with immersion and mood for the sessions. You will find plenty of handouts to help with visualization and your reference further on in the campaign. I also supply a variety of tokens for NPCs and adversaries which assist with identification during encounters. Along with that, my NPCs are my characters in the game. Important NPCs have their own values, goals and objectives and will usually act with their own self-interest in mind. Do not expect creatures to fight to the last, nor will they purposefully try to exterminate you without cause. Most will attempt to flee when over matched and will not pursue characters who flee if it goes against their objectives or nature.

Homebrew rules

Any adoption of homebrew rules will be discussed during session 0 and used with player consent. My only firm homebrew rule is that potions always heal full value unless taken during an encounter. When in initiative order, a potion can be taken using your action for full value or as a bonus action with a roll to determine the amount you heal.

How Oginme creates a safe table

The campaign will start with a session 0. My agenda for session 0 can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rwMh_TVIuxLzBvFr1HP5XrfqExGsspfM7kOLQymIpRU/edit?usp=sharing My table rules can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15PsoLeQihhUVv_SSBjIUSRBLYe9k4IjtZUp9qQId8QM/edit?usp=sharing I will make X, N, and O cards available during the game for players to react to any objectionable content within the game. These will be anonymous and will provide us with a chance to dial back any objectionable content or figure out how to make the situation more suitable for all the players. Following sessions, I will be available for debriefing on the content of the session. Where needed, we will discuss the direction and where the content needs to be adapted or changed. I have a separate channel in the Discord server for the players to acknowledge the actions of others (Stars) and add wishes for opportunities, content, and/or action they would like to see moving forward (Wishes). As a matter of service, I am usually available at most times to have a discussion on aspects of the game you find either troubling or would like to see more often.
