Winter will end soon. Are you Frozen Sick?

Creating your character

Players should create a *level 1* character of any available race or class using Above VTT and the D&D Beyond character creator Adventures in Wildemount is the book to refer to from which this campaign derives, though it is not necessary to own. The first session *(referred to as session 0.5), will be a short introductory one-off between the GM and the player, in which the player will introduce themselves and their hopes for the character, the GM will introduce himself and the general way the game will run. All session zero concerns will be addressed at this time A small fun personal adventure will spontaneously erupt that will help to introduce why the character is about to become a part of this campaign and how the character has come to interact with their new adventuring party :-) If people are friends in RL or even wish to simply start with another of the players, please let me know and I will do my best to arrange a multi-character first session

Preparing for the session

To play this game properly you will first need to join the Discord channel for CAIRN, the Central Archive of Interesting Random Nonsense! here is the link. follow it, and you will have access to : - the patron level of the channel (once a session has been paid at least once, the patron level will become permanent for one year from that point) - the private chat channels for this game specifically https://discord.gg/AHxmvwBy Also, you will need to have AboveVTT downloaded and installed into your web browser as an extension. (help is available via the discord channel once you have entered) Once you have created a character, the game link will be shared with you so that the character you have created can be added to the campaign. Help for this will also be available The option to roll dice is available through D&D Beyond via AboveVTT, but I encourage players who own physical dice to make all rolls using those dice if they would like. Owning dice is super duper awesome. Like, crazy awesome and satisfying. So I get it. Simply let me know to be prepared for this so I can activate my "super-secret GM fudged-roll-detector" wizard hat. Should I decide as GM to roll physical dice I promise nobody will be slipped a "Near-Invisodot Chance Alteration Blob" I'll do it.

What Jason brings to the table

I will do my best to provide interesting and unique voices, fun atmospheric events, roleplaying willingness, and an overall desire to have fun, introduce people to this experience, stay on-the-rails so that newer players can get used to the game in its general form. However, if we are going to sandbox... (*rubs hands together gleefully*) I'm sure something can be arranged ;-) My playstyle looks to merge the skill and knowledge level of the players in such a way as to allow for the experienced to teach the newer simply by playing the game! And, I will spontaneously sing and play guitar because, I kind of need to at times as a soothing mechanism or to keep me grounded when I am getting too excited and beginning to stutter lol

Homebrew rules

I am still coming up with Homebrew type ways to play. For now, they tend to evolve. I like to just kind of see what happens first. Feel free to ask questions, alter flavour texts, suggest mechanics, and discuss the way you would like your character to operate for the sake of immersion, enjoyability and roleplay. I love imagination!

How Jason creates a safe table

The way this game is designed will allow for the players to each introduce to me during their session 0.5 how they would like to handle the "Safety" aspect of gameplay. This will allow for an individual confidentiality while eventually allowing for a group consensus type discussion once we all get together. Once everybody has discussed with me their preferred way of keeping the gameplay comfortable and enjoyable I will then develop the method we will using going forward. This will be revealed at the beginning of session 1 official, and any tweaks will be made through a small discussion with the group if necessary. I am hoping we will have so much fun that we will probably not even notice anything bad! (except for maybe mimic breath and frosty toes...)
