About the adventure
IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED FOR SESSION 0, THE PRICE LISTED IS FOR ALL GAMES AFTER SESSION 0! I will customize your price to be $0 once you sign up. ✨Story✨: On the open sea of The Crystal Waters, two ships sail into the distance. One, a famous merchant vessel, the other, an equally renowned pirate ship. The pirates are in search of the mysterious Opal Cove; a mermaid's den said to carry an ancient artifact that would make their captain invincible. The merchants are merely on a casual voyage. After a storm washes both ships into a mysterious island, the two crews are faced with a worrying reveal; You have three days to end a curse that encases the entire island or be trapped there forever…. Will your rival crews work together? Will you fight? Will you find your ways out separately? Will you never escape at all…? Only time will tell. And time's not on your side…. Are you a scheming swashbuckler? A fearsome sailor? A timid passenger with secrets? Players can choose to join specific roles on either the Merchant Vessel, the Pirate Ship, or be an Opal Islander! (Opal Islander slots are limited/based on the number of non-islander players)

About me
Hi! I'm a writer and hobby illustrator who loves fantasy, horror, and sci-fi. My poisons of choice being D&D, anything related to vampires, pirates, and all things fae/fairy related! I treat table top games as escapism and a way to relax, an outlet of self expression or pure indulgence anyone can have. I have a fluffy little maltipoo named Pearl who lives in my ever-growing collection of a plushy pile and I ADORE blind box dolls/figures. All are welcome in my realms; as a queer woman I want to make my table a safe space for all players and only ask you respect that diversity and unique identities are a part of fiction as much as they are in reality.

Creating your character
Characters are made using a special guideline I've written specifically for this game using the 5e system! You can choose from a number of roles on both ships/the island and can bring backstories that come into play as long as you understand the story is confined to an island location for the game's entire multi-session run until you escape. So try to make any lore fit the salty sea theme/setting. See the google doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sZEB_YPKLiX3u-97UiOFmnNnII4lnSF8a5Kg4ube5Qc/edit?usp=sharing The bare minimum you need is a class, name, ship-role and backstory. But coming to Session 0 with as much as you cn for a character sheet is appreciated. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ACCESS TO DND CONTENT! I have MANY Books! You can make your sheets on dndbeyond, as pdfs, or roll20 as long as I can see them. If you have a preference let me know and I'll make a link to a dndbeyond campaign for you. Pdfs should be sent in dms or over the server channels.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
-Don't wait until the last minute to join the discord server since the game-call is in that server! -Webcams are NOT required, but you must make sure you have a mic if you want to talk! Discord is NOT a mic, make sure your computer has one already -As long as you can hear us, texting in/out of character is OKAY! I will read your lines for you :D. -Please have a roll20 account ready to view the map
What Soleil brings to the table
THIS GAME HAS ✨ A FREE SESSION 0✨~ Reiterating: YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED, THE PRICE LISTED IS FOR ALL GAMES AFTER SESSION 0! Session 0 will entail: >Introduction of group and GM to each other. >Discussion of boundaries and game rules. >Some character creation assistance if needed over Discord call with me and other players. >Meeting of your crew mates/fellow islanders in character the first day you set sail in preparation for the paid session 1. A Present for You! 🎁🎨 As a thank-you for playing my games, I'll make a small drawing (chibis, doodles, meme template ect.) of all player characters who finish the game the night of session the week after we play. See my profile pic for an example of my work. 🖼️ Normal DM Offerings: Access to D&D 5e content, maps to play around in, background/battle music, NPC voice/character acting, a place to escape from the real world and be whatever-or whoever-you want to be. 😊 I'm a roleplay lover always encourage character interaction as you will be playing characters on proper adventure with possibly HIGHLY opposing values. And of course: [Expect the unexpected! I love a good bit and always have a trick up my sleeve 🫰

How Soleil creates a safe table
After signing up I'll send players a google form where any and all triggers they may have are privately disclosed. This form or a talk with me over Discord is mandatory to play. I advise all players use the XNO system via dming me or in text channels in the game server/roll20. All games will have a bathroom/snack break around halfway in no matter what. During this break I will move you all to a map called "The Doodle Room" where you can draw for fun while you wait! NO NSFW ART IN THE DOODLE ROOM IS ALLOWED. Games will end in discussion about the session, and feedback between GM and players so we can all decompress and learn for the future <3.
