Faelore🌿A Fairy-tale Mystery Adventure 🧚✨

Creating your character

🌿Starting Level This adventure will start your adventurers off at level 3. 🌿Session Zero This campaign will start with a free session zero where we'll build characters together at the table. This is to guide players through my somewhat convoluted method of rolling for stats and to make sure we've got a good party makeup! I'll be happy to walk new players through the character building process. If you've already got a character concept in mind, great, I'd love to hear about it! 🌿Rolling a character -roll 6d20, -check their sum, -if under 75, keep rerolling the lowest number -if over 75, subtract from whichever of the six numbers you want (just one or multiple, your choice) until the sum is exactly 75 -you now have your numbers 🌿Leveling up/ASI/multiclassing -Always reroll 1s for leveling up HP -Take a feat as well as the 2 points in ASI (unless the feat improve ability scores anyway, then take just one) -If you have a good story reason to multiclass, then absolutely go for it! 🌿Race/Class/Background Restrictions No restrictions here, wanna play a robot? Cool now I get an NPC who builds cool robots. Wanna play a gunslingger? Boom, this world has guns now. It’s a whole world, I can make just about anything work, and we’ll work together on tying the character into the world. 🌿UA & Homebrew Not unwelcome, but run it by me first for balance reasons! 🌿Starting Gold & Equipment You will start with the equipment and gold that comes from your class/background plus one common magic item of your choice. If you want to make adjustments to equipment, run it by me and we can work it out. I tend to shower my players in loot, so you won’t be broke adventurers for long.

Preparing for the session

I run my games through discord servers. That includes VTT, maps, character sheets, dice rolls, music, notes, all of it. So all you need to play this campaign is a Discord account, I'll send you a link to the server once you join!

What Bronwynn brings to the table

🌿I do my best as a Game Master to create as immersive an experience as I can. I prepare ambient music, create maps, tokens, character portraits, item cards and interactive puzzles for nearly every session. 🌿This is a roleplay heavy game, I will absolutely be doing character voices and encourage you to join in on the fun, but if that's not something you're comfortable with that's totally fine too! 🌿Besides roleplay there will also be puzzles, mysteries and some combat encounters as well. I tend to take it easy on my players when it comes to combat at first and slowly ramp up the challenge as time goes on and we find our balance at the table. 🌿I love to hide secrets around the world and highly encourage exploration, there will be something to discover anywhere you look. 🌿These sessions WILL be recorded for the purposes of note-taking. If you would like, I can also share these recordings with you in a private link. The sessions will otherwise NOT be shared anywhere.

Homebrew rules

🌿Backseat GMing: If necessary I may ask for certain rules during play. However, please only offer advice about rules when specifically asked, & I will have final say as GM. 🌿Crits: Critical hits will deal max damage plus the role, nothing is worse than rolling a minimum damage crit. 🌿Inspiration: You'll start each session with one point of inspiration, use it and I'll be able to reward more for creative play and cool moments. 🌿Healing Potions: You can choose to drink a healing potion as a bonus action and roll like normal. But if you choose to take you full action to drink it instead, you will receive healing equivalent to maximum rolls. 🌿Rations/ammunition: I never remember to keep track of that so I won't make you do it either, it will be assumed you will always have plenty of both, unless otherwise stated 🌿Metagaming: You and your character have different levels of knowledge about the game and the world it takes place in. Metagaming is discouraged for the purposes of game immersion. 🌿Min-maxing: If optimizing a character is what's fun for you, then I will allow it with a few exceptions. Your character should have a story reason to be built the way they are. This is a collaborative game, no one player is the main character and tables are more fun when the party works together, remember to involve your fellow players. 🌿Retconing: I am a Neurospicy GM and can tend to move on from scenes fast. If you want to rewind, if I missed something, or there's something you want to add to a scene, just let me know and we'll hop back. 🌿Rule of Cool: fun>story>rules I live for the chaos and will absolutely bend or break rules for a good moment. 🌿Death Saves: All death saving throws will be rolled in secret. Send me your roll in a private channel and don't tell the other players. The other characters have no way of knowing how close your character is to dying. When you role a death save, I will call on you to recall a memory of your character that flashes in their mind to share with the table instead.

How Bronwynn creates a safe table

During Session 0 we will also be discussing Safety Tools! 🌿Once you join, you will be sent a link to a consent checklist which you should fill out before Session 1. This will help me understand where each players boundaries are and how far I can push into the darker themes that can come up in a game within everyone's comfort zone. 🌿We'll be using X Cards as a way to signal to the table if we begin to stray into uncomfortable territory in game. If at any point during gameplay, for any reason, you would like to pause, rewind, or skip ahead the current scene, please use these cards and we will proceed as necessary. 🌿Breaks! I'll always call for at least one 10minute-ish break around the middle of the session to make sure we're all taking care of ourselves at the table. We'll take time for drink and snack refills, bathroom breaks, chatting/checking ect. in during breaks. 🌿Another tool I provide my players is Stars & Wishes. This is an optional form meant as an anonymous way for players to give structured feedback. A Star, or something you enjoyed about the game and want to see more of, and a Wish: something you want to see next time or didn't like as much about a session. 🌿After each session we'll have a chat to decompress, check in about how we're all feeling about the game, go over favorite moments, and practice some self care.
