CRYPTS OF AZARUMME 3rd LV

Creating your character

When a player reaches out to me, we’ll chat about their personal experience with D&D and walk through character creation together over Discord before the game starts. Whether you’re brand new or a veteran, I’ll help make sure you’re comfortable and ready to jump in. Character Details: Starting Level: 3rd Level Race and Class: Any available on DnD Beyond Multiclassing: Allowed, but limited to a maximum of 2 classes. Magic Items: You may start with 1 common and 1 uncommon magic item of your choice. Gold: 50gp Stats: 4d6 drop the lowest, reroll everything if it’s below 70 Backgrounds: Backgrounds are optional for this one-shot. You’re welcome to write a brief paragraph about your character’s backstory if it helps you get into their mindset, but it’s not required. We’ll build your character using D&D Beyond

Preparing for the session

To join the game, players will need: A working microphone (webcam optional, but prefered!) Discord account (its free this is how we will communicate in the game) Access to a DNDbeyond account. This will allow you to make a character, use my shared content and use the maps function to play the game. Install the Google Browser extension AboveVTT. Need help with this let me know and ill guide you through installing, using, and even removing it afterwards if you like.

What Freydis brings to the table

VTT (Virtual Tabletop): We will be using the ABOVEVTT google webextension for the VTT Custom Maps and Tokens: You'll explore hand-selected or custom-made maps tailored to match the adventure's dark, atmospheric tone. Tokens are provided for all players and enemies. Character Voices and NPC Acting: I try my best at NPC voices but sometimes they fall flat but I make up for in personality and roleplay-driven storytelling. I love bringing NPCs to life, whether they're suspicious villagers or ancient undead! D&D Beyond Content Sharing: I offer shared content access on D&D Beyond (if applicable) to help players easily build their characters. With over 50 species to choose from and almost as many Subclasses. Safety Tools: Full Lines & Veils discussion, X/N/O system during play, and post-session aftercare check-ins. Player-Focused Storytelling: I’m a story-first GM who loves collaborative storytelling. I encourage creativity, emotional moments, and unexpected heroics. Rules-as-Written with a Dash of Rule of Cool: I stick to the rules as often as possible to keep things fair and consistent. That said, I do lean into the Rule of Cool when it helps the story, rewards creativity, or simply makes the game more fun—without abusing the system. It’s a game first, and my goal is to make sure everyone is having a great time. Though I’m a seasoned DM, sometimes rules are forgotten in the heat of the moment. When that happens, I’ll make my best judgment call that feels fair to both the players and the spirit of the game. I’m not perfect—and even the great Matt Mercer has to look up a rule from time to time! Beginner Friendly: I love helping new players learn and feel confident, and I welcome questions at any time without judgment.

How Freydis creates a safe table

This is a one-shot adventure, so I’ll be hosting brief 1-on-1 Session 0s with each player before game day. During that time, we’ll go over your Lines and Veils, comfort levels, and any sensitive topics you'd like to avoid or keep behind a curtain. I use X, N, and O signals during play: X = I need this to stop immediately. Thumbs DOWN N = I'm uncomfortable; please shift scenes or tone. SIDEWAYS Thumbs up O = I’m okay and having fun, even if my character seems distressed. Thumbs UP These can be sent via private message, typed into the chat, or held up on video—whatever you're most comfortable with. 🧩 After the game, I always check in with players to make sure everyone is okay and got what they needed from the experience. You're welcome to message me after if you'd prefer a private debrief. 💬 I encourage roleplay and emotional engagement, but your comfort and boundaries come first. I'm here to create a safe, immersive, and enjoyable experience for everyone at the table.
