Adventures in Averis - What Lurks Beneath

Creating your character

This adventure will begin at LEVEL 1 and you will start with 1 Uncommon Magic Item. We will be using Dungeons and Dragons 5e (2014) rules. - All official books are allowed, just make sure it is using 2014 rules. - Ability Scores: Rolled - See Character Creation Guide after joining - Multiclassing and Feats are allowed. - HP increases: Roll or Average. Once you join, a Character Creation document will be sent over with some basic world lore, character creation guidelines, and a form for questions I'd like to know about your character before we start. If you join after the first session, we will touch base before the game for a quick call to get you set up.

Preparing for the session

Players should have: - Headset/Mic - Discord Account - D&D Beyond Account I will add you to the D&D Beyond campaign and then import the characters into Foundry from there. If you want to make the character ahead of time, that is cool. Otherwise we can go over it in Session 0.

What ZanDood brings to the table

NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY - This campaign is a great way for new players to get comfortable with D&D 5e. Starting from Level 1 you can get the core understanding of what your character can do, without there being too many complications. With custom stories, maps, and QOL House Rules, my goal is to make the game as enjoyable as possible while still allowing room for challenges to overcome. I favour the Rule of Cool and am always open to hearing a creative approach, but I keep some limitations to avoid it getting too far outside of RAW. With this in mind, we do stick to Milestone levelling so you can focus on navigating the world how you see fit, and getting rewarded for more than killing enemies. Because I created and designed the world myself, all region maps and likely all battlemaps will be created custom for this campaign. This also allows me more freedom to add fun challenges or obstacles to combat encounters to keep things exciting and interesting. As we navigate the campaign together, I put a focus on the elements that my players prefer, so please be vocal about what you like/dislike. We will keep a Stars/Wishes chat for the campaign and posting there after a session will get you a free inspiration for our next session.

How ZanDood creates a safe table

Safety and player comfort is a priority at my tables. We will utilize a few safety tools to help make that as easy an experience as possible. These include Lines & Veils, X/N/O cards, and a consent checklist that will be sent over before Session 0.
