Reimagined - Dragons of Stormwreck Isle (2014 Rules)

Creating your character

Creating your character This is a character-first, ensemble-driven table. Characters here are people, not builds; Collaborators, not spotlights; Beginnings, not finished legends. If you’ve ever felt like you were carrying the emotional weight of a table alone — or wished you could finally bring your A-game & trust that everyone else would too — you’re in the right place. Character creation happens during Session 0 & the entire week leading up to Session 1. We will have a 1 on 1 creative session together. We’ll build your character together w/ intention: who they are, Where they came from, how their journey so far has shaped them, & how they fit into the story. Each character begins their journey in an individual Level 1 prologue. These prologues exist to ground your character in the Starting city & set clear narrative momentum from the start. Characters are not lone wolves, chosen ones, joke concepts, or experimental builds. They are not born of sexual violence, written solely as trauma objects, or designed to disrupt the table. Characters are not Evil, & if they’re chaotic, they are thoughtful & aware of consequences. Narrative tension is welcome; PvP, theft, adversarial play, & other disruptive playstyles are not. Backstories are starting points, not novellas. You’ll be given a structured form upon requesting to join the campaign, designed to capture what’s actually useful: NPCs, goals, open threads, secrets w/ purpose, & hopes for how your story might unfold. Depending which campaign we are doing; I’ll use as much as you give me — as long as it’s digestible. Expect small between-session prompts from time to time to help deepen your character & the city around them. If you’re unsure whether your concept fits, that’s a good sign. Bring the idea. We’ll shape it together. -------------------- ROLL FOR STATS ABILITTY SCORES - Roll 4d6 drop the lowest.

Preparing for the session

Before you join the table, please visit my official table on Roll20 and see if this game is for you. I have shared 3 posts: 1) Character Rules & Creation 2) Official, Variant, Gritty & House Rules 3) Starting Out Weapons + Weapons & Armor Certificate Rule https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/438147/reimagined-dragons-of-stormwreck-isle-2014-rules ------------------------------------------------- We will be using Roll20 & Discord. This campaign is intentionally paced and deliberately curated. Campaign preparation isn’t busywork — it’s how we make sure that when the game starts, everyone arrives ready to play together. The game may not start immediately. This is a premium, potentially long-form campaign, and the early groundwork is part of the experience. We will begin when we have four-five characters. Platforms & Tools • Discord is central. It’s where announcements, roll call, downtime roleplay, recaps, and between-session communication live. Players are expected to read recaps, acknowledge announcements (even a quick emoji), and respond to roll call. If you only want to engage during session time, this table will not be a good fit. • Roll20 is the VTT used for play. Players are expected to be comfortable navigating the interface and managing their characters without interrupting session flow. Technical Expectations • A mic/headset is required (no feedback or echo). • Camera (and voices) are strongly encouraged, but not required. • Stable internet and basic technical readiness are assumed. Engagement Between Sessions Out-of-session engagement happens at the pace of real life — regularly or irregularly, as schedules allow — but it does matter. Expect occasional light prompts or exercises to help deepen characters and the city around them. Downtime RP is optional, but encouraged; the story lives there too. This preparation process exists to protect the table, respect everyone’s time, and create the conditions for meaningful ensemble play. If you’re excited by intention, collaboration, and showing up prepared — you’ll feel right at home!

I am the Reddit Moderator of the following D&D subreddits: https://www.reddit.com/r/stormwreckisle/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LostMinesOfPhandelver/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonOfIcespirePeak/ https://www.reddit.com/r/spelljammer/ With that comes tons of knowledge, lore and ideas that helped me shape, re-write and tell these stories as 1 cohesive saga. So, you are joining a table with someone who is very knowledgeable about these modules and the lore accuracy of the Forgotten Realm / Sword Coast.

Homebrew rules

Any homebrew / house rules will be located in my discord and will be explained in my discord. Lots of the house rules are optional and will be discussed during session zero if we wish include them. (Gritty Ruleset, modified exhaustion system, official variant rules, etc)

How Novercalis creates a safe table

This table is for adults and will deal with adult content excluding Erotic Roleplay. During Session zero, I will gauge on the table to determine the limit as I have no problem if everyone is open to a much darker, gritter settings. With that said - I am okay as a DM, presenting pretty much everything but ERP. So it's up to the table to decide where the line is. We are adults, playing a fantasy game - nothing more, nothing less.
