PLANEGEA: Stone-Age Fantasy Roleplaying

Creating your character

I'll be working one on one with you in a FREE session zero to help you build a character that will have fun in this campaign setting. We'll be starting you off at 3rd level. There are some setting specific races and subclasses if you're interested in learning about them, otherwise I'm pretty open to any combinations you come up with. If you can find it in normal D&D, you can find it here too, just... a little different. I encourage you to make characters you will have fun playing within the setting. Personally, I create my characters on DnDBeyond and then port them over to Roll20 using a browser extension called Beyond2, but that's just me. You do you. Roll your stats, if you hate them, roll again. If you want to voluntarily nerf your character, fine too. Whatever. Just have fun. That's the important part. Make something you'll like playing.

Preparing for the session

You will need a Discord account as well as a Roll20 account (where the maps are played). I'll be giving out invites to Opus which will play the campaign's music and ambience. You'll also have your own volume control and access to sound effects to use during the game (swords clashing, spells being cast, etc). If you're like me and prefer to use DnDBeyond as your character generator, it might help to add the Beyond20 browser extension to your computer, but it's not necessary. Before the game it's preferable for everyone to do a mic check to make sure everyone can be heard clearly without any interference.

What TheChaosShaman brings to the table

I host our Discord server where our games will take place. This is our main information hub for all the games I host. There you can meet the other players in your game. There are channels set up to talk about your characters, make plans for adventures, scheduling issues, and the like. I also provide music, sound effects and ambience through Opus, which you'll be given access and control of during the game for sound effects, music, and ambience. I use animated battlemaps and custom tokens on Roll20 that I purchase through Patreon artists and other professionals. I really try to offer a lot of immersion, so it's important that the visuals and the audio stand out to make a memorable experience.

Homebrew rules

This campaign will be using the rules provided in The Star-Shaman's Song of Planegea, as well as material from Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs. As the setting was written during the reign of the 2014 rules, we'll stick to those for balance's sake. Players are welcomed to suggest house rules and with a vote we can implement them. I follow game rules but lean "rule of cool" if the leash of the rules is holding back our fun. I will also sometimes tinker with classes and characters to make them more aligned with player's concepts (I've made a Dao Warlock's Imp look like an Earth Mephit and traded the stinger with the breath attack for instance).

How TheChaosShaman creates a safe table

At any point before, during or after a game, any player can contact me and request I change the material. We can discuss this in private or as a group. A simple "X" in a private message during a game will cause a scene change. Safety and content will be discussed during the free session zero. I have an "open-door" policy. You can contact me anytime.
