About the adventure
We’ll start with what’s known as a session 0 where everyone will create characters together, get to know each other a bit as well as the basics of the system. We’ll also go over some of the basic mechanics to get started and I’ll answer any questions I can prior to the start of the campaign. Our players will find themselves in the city of Neverwinter located on the Swordcoast of Fae’run, where they get hired to guard a caravan traveling to the town of Phandalin. But like any great adventurers’ story everything goes awry on their journey!

About me
Hi! My name is Reina(she/her), aka "The Rainbow Role" on social media! My primary experience with TTRPGs is with D&D. I got started young and rolled my first 2e AD&D character when I was eight and I have never stopped. I ran my first game when I was twelve and have been a "forever DM" ever since. Currently I primarily run and play 5e, both 2014 and 2024, but have experience 2e, 3.5e D&D, pathfinder, Carbon 2185 and non d20 systems as well, including Heavy Gear's silhouette system and Wold of Darkness. In the last ten years or so I've really made an effort to make my games more role-play heavy and less of a "table top war game with a role-play element." I love lore, both writing it and having my players give their characters lore. I can run a number of styles from light-hearted and goofy to gritty and dystopian, to grimdark. I'm also a huge proponent of safety devices and make sure I include them in any of my games. I'm also a digital artist, so I'm vehemently anti-GenAI, none of my games currently or ever will feature any generative AI assets or writing. That said I love getting to create character art for people and my profile picture is was created by me in Procreate based on a picture of myself.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
We’ll be using dnd beyond, (which you can create a free account on) discord for voice chat, and a browser plugin called AboveVTT which will be our virtual tabletop, so everyone will be able to see the maps for combat and any images or handouts that are shared with the players
What Reina brings to the table
I try to encourage roleplay, especially in new players because the story that we all tell together, in my opinion, is more important than how well a player knows the rules. As this is an intro to dnd game I also bring a ton of patience to the game to help with rules and mechanics as needed. As for assets for the game itself I love to have background audio in my games, this is run through AboveVTT, the nice thing about this is if a player would rather not have the music they can just mute the AboveVTT tab!
Homebrew rules
The only homebrew rule we’ll have is that drinking a potion yourself is a bonus action, administering a potion to another creature is still an action

How Reina creates a safe table
I have a checklist I send out to all of my players with stuff that is either ok, a veil or a line. Veils are things that a player is ok with being in the game but off camera, while lines are things that are a hard no and players aren’t comfortable with having in the game at all. I also intend to check in with the players after each session to make sure everything is going okay, especially if we have an intense to or combat session.
