Uncharted Waters New Horizons! |【A Swashbuckling Seafaring Game】

Creating your character

You can create your character (and back-ups) at your own leisure before the game following these guidelines: 🎁 Each Character will own 1 Uncommon Item which grows in power with you 📕 All officially released compendiums by Wizards of the Coasts are allowed to be used. Some 3rd Party Compendiums like Humblewood are also on the table. (Unlisted 3rd Party or Homebrew Materials can be discussed with me) 🎲 You can Roll for Stats; Use Point Buy; Use Standard Array; or Use my homebrew Heroic Array.

Preparing for the session

You will need: 👾 a Discord & Roll20 Account 🎤 a Microphone + Speakers or Headphones 📸 (Optional) a Webcam

What Zed Jaime brings to the table

I offer my very best: 📚 A comprehensive list of Official WotC and 3rd-Party Compendiums at Roll20. 🌌 High Quality Maps, Tokens, and Handouts for better visualization. 🎼 Thematic Music and Sound Effects to improve immersion. 🙊 NPC voices that hopefully gives justice to the characters. 📜 Homebrew Rules favoring Players for more Epic and Tactical plays.

Homebrew rules

House Rules are in place favoring Players which give a more Epic and Tactical feel to each encounter. Some highlights are the following: 🪦 DEATH HOUSE RULE! 1. Beyond Death Saves 📃 - While a creature is unconscious and at 0hp, it can awaken to 1hp and perform its turn by taking Levels of Exhaustion. - The number of successful Death Saving throws determine the Level of Exhaustion taken. 2. Against All Odds ⚔️ - A creature at 0hp can attempt to attack, escape, or help by automatically getting a Fail on the Death Saving throw instead of rolling. 3. Last Stand 🗽 - Upon death, a character takes a final turn in an attempt to help allies or take down enemies. 🤺COMBAT HOUSE RULES 1. Healing Potions - Action = Full Heal to Self - Bonus Action = Roll to Heal for Self 2. Protection Reaction - As a reaction when a creature within 5ft of you is hit with an attack, you can take all the damage instead. 3. Strained Spellcasting - Spellcasters may cast two leveled-spells in a turn (instead of just one). - The caster must succeed a Constitution check or gain 1 Level of Exhaustion. 🖌️CHARACTER CREATION HOUSE RULES! 1. The Heroic Array - Standard Array may be too standard for some folks, so here's a couple of new choices that Point Buy can never buy! | Allrounder = 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 | Support = 17, 15, 12, 11, 8, 7 | Specialist = 17, 16, 11, 10, 8, 7 | Chosen by Heaven & Hell = 19, 18, 15, 7, 5, 3 2. New x Legacy 5e Guidelines - Both 2014 and 2024 versions are fun to play, thus I've made a set of rules and guidelines that will allow both to exist in the game, while keeping everything cohesive and lore accurate.

How Zed Jaime creates a safe table

Expect a mix of creative roleplay and gritty encounters. The kind that will test not just your characters’ abilities, but your imagination too. From lighthearted moments to life-or-death stakes, we’ll explore everything in between. Here’s how we’ll kick things off: 📝 Session 0 — We’ll chat about the do’s and don’ts, player expectations, and what kind of game you want to play. Whether you lean into plot, combat, custom arcs, or a balanced blend, we’ll shape the campaign that way. 🎭 Personalized Intros — At the start of the campaign, each character gets their own mini-scenario. These short spotlights weave in your backstory and set the stage for your arrival in the world. It'll be to show exactly who you are, and where you fit into the bigger story.
