Creating your character

You're welcome to use any material within the expanded works of 5e (including the Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, etc.). If you would like to use material that is outside of official 5e rules, feel free to ask! This campaign will be using the 2014 version of 5e. If you would like to incorporate various 2024 rules that you are drawn to, feel free to ask, and we can negotiate! To determine your stats, you may roll or use point buy—it is up to your preference. When writing your character's backstory, don't feel as though you have to limit yourself! Some players derive more enjoyment from writing long and intricate backstories, while others prefer to write more concise ones—either approach is fine! With that said, you will get more out of this campaign if you at least have the following bases covered: - Where your character is from. How has this region shaped them? What have they had to do/become to survive this environment? - Characters that have influenced them. Are these characters still around? If so, in what ways do they continue to impact your character? - An event that motivated them to pursue adventuring/traveling. What does your character want? More world information will be available in the discord server & once the game is active (you will receive an invite upon joining the game). I will also be available and able to meet before the game starts if you have any questions about the setting. The starting level for this campaign is level three. We will be using the milestone system when leveling up. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Preparing for the session

You must have Discord, a microphone, and a ForgeVTT account (free to set up). If you have a webcam, you are welcome to use it, but it is completely optional. Otherwise, I am here to help make sure you are set up to succeed!

What Arthur brings to the table

Players can expect lively, immersive sessions featuring curated music from iconic games, movies, and TV shows, engaging social encounters, challenging combat, custom-designed battle maps, and more! As you'll see from how I GM, I encourage diverse play styles and am generally lenient when choices enhance the game and story. If you invest effort in character creation, backstory, or roleplay, I'll match that effort fully. I believe I am best at collaboration, responding to your characters in ways that always give players more room to explore.

How Arthur creates a safe table

My first priority is ensuring players feel safe and comfortable. I will provide numerous spaces and methods of communication to ensure you feel heard and respected. After every session, I will be available to talk if anyone needs anything or would like to provide feedback. Furthermore, I will hold a session zero where we will discuss safety, bringing group awareness to everyone's boundaries and triggers. Additionally, there will be a feedback form (anonymity is an option) where people can submit concerns about the session. Otherwise, my door is always open (mostly via discord DMs) if you need me!
