Lost Treasure In Brightwater, blood and bones in the water.

Creating your character

Characters will be level 3, point buy for stats, starting equipment for class and background. Multi classing is allowed. Use of official wotc content is required unless approved before the game on a case by case bases. We will use discord to talk and roll20 for all rolls. If you need any assistance with character creation let me know. Characters can either be made on roll20 or imported from dndbeyond if you have the beyond20 extension. If you are unsure of how to work the charactermancer of roll20 let me know and I'll help you through it. You can make your characters before game and I'll review them to make sure everything is correct. We will be using 2014 rules and content as I am not as familiar with the newer rules and some of those seemed to have taken a dive off the deep end.

Preparing for the session

You will need atleast a roll20 account (free works I'll help you with the rest). A discord account for microphone use, and to join the discord server where the game will be hosted. Session talk will be put into a private thread for all players involved. If you are brand new make sure to message me and I'll help you through character creation and answer any questions you may have.

What Light brings to the table

This is one of my newer games but one I think that works very well. A little lighter on the rules as you don't have a lot of resources for your characters. I have a lot of experience with new and young players and helping them get through the early stages of DnD where there is a lot of growing pains. The game will have music and character voices. The combats will be on grid based maps with character art. Embracing the spirit of swashbuckling this game will reward any over the top actions or descriptions with inspiration. As the game is meant for new players it is more forgiving and will allow for brash actions as long as you can play them up.

Homebrew rules

As an intro game I'm not going to use any house rules to give a better feel for new players. Inspirations will be easy to acquire and can be used in that moment or kept for later use, this isn't a house rule but their frequency of use will surely be the most different part of this game.

How Light creates a safe table

As this is a one shot much of the safety tools will need to be dealt with before games. Note that this is closer to a PG-13 take of dnd. You will of course fight and kill monsters but there is not hard themes in this game. One location option is a brothel but that is only a location to go to and will not have anything explicit. If there are any lines of veils that a player has they can be messaged to me and the game you are playing. They will be brought up at the beginning of the game but not said whom they are from for anonymity. Some basic rules that will also be posted on the discord server: These game can SOMETIMES have mature content and dark topics depending on the themes of the individual game. If they are not warned about for that game do not inject them into the game. No Politics, real world religion or other divisive topics need be discussed here. Do not flirt with the players themselves. If you flirt with another character in game make sure the player controlling that character is ok with it. Player vs player is prohibited unless both players agree above board on the terms of the interaction. These games are cooperative and PvP has never led to more cooperative play in any of my games. Be kind, helpful and patient with everyone (no bullying or harassment). Be punctual to sessions you are a part of. I and others may make mistakes or have a different interpretation of certain rules. When such things arise my goal is to find what is most fair and not slow the game down with arguments or research. If you have a problem with someone please resolve it privately or seek a third party to assist in resolution. When it is not your turn please type out what you want to say on roll20 unless the player taking their turn or the DM is interacting with you. Talking over one another does not help anyone.
