About the adventure
Welcome, you friendly fiends! This is a great introduction for new players to the world of Dungeons and Dragons, as well as players wanting to explore a more cozy D&D experience. Whether you've been playing for years or if you've never even picked up dice before, this is the perfect setting to have fun in a very thematically unique way, opting for a more wholesome classic adventure rather than a heavy grimdark setting. I welcome you to join! D&D veterans will feel right at home and I invite beginners to join so they can learn as we play, getting their feet wet enough to confidently jump into any follow-up session or campaign once this campaign is completed! With a FREE introductory session (known as a session 0) and your first FOUR (4) sessions absolutely FREE OF CHARGE, I hope to give you the chance to try out the hobby enough to the point where you can decide if you're wanting to keep playing and start playing. Even if you aren't new to D&D, the discount still applies! The Session 0 is used to help build your character on DNDBeyond (no purchases required), to help write a simple yet compelling backstory for that character, and to take moment to establish the world and set expectations, I will be giving you all the tools needed to create an engaging character perfect for this campaign. Humblewood is a Homely 3rd Party Campaign Setting published by Hit Point Press for D&D 5th Edition. In a world filled with pleasant anthropomorphic animals ranging from Hawks and Owls to Raccoons and Hedgehogs, I invite you to join a light-hearted adventure where you can explore both simple and complex themes in a friendly and safe way. If you are unsure of joining a game that might be too complex, there is no need to worry. I am more than happy to take my time to ensure you're not only enjoying the game as we play, but also learning the rules and mechanics as we go. As complex as it may seem, once you get the hang of it, it is incredibly intuitive and can be incredibly fun playing around with different mechanics and classes to create a character that truly fits in with what you want. If you're a D&D veteran hoping to find a fun table with all kinds of players, I invite you as well! This setting and campaign is a wonderful place to explore the more light-hearted side of our favorite hobby, and as someone who absolutely loves darker campaigns with heavy themes, this is a great way to play D&D in a way that has a lot of novelty while also offering complex roleplay in an environment you may not be used to! This is a safe and comfortable space for all kinds of players, and I hope to introduce you to one of the greatest hobbies the world has ever seen. Every resource needed will be provided, no purchases are required. I promise, if you enjoy playing... there is nothing else quite like it.

About me
Hi there, my friendly storytelling fiends. I'm Brett, a Dungeon Master who loves the moment when a story all comes together and an entire table stares at one another in disbelief. After several years playing Dungeons and Dragons as both a player and DM, and having fallen out of love with filmmaking because of the toxic industry, my bones crave the chance to tell meaningful and emotionally gratifying stories with others. I would love to play with you and see exactly what kind of experience we can build together. There is nothing quite like playing an immersive TTRPG, and I'd love to be someone to introduce you or give you a space to express yourself in one of the most unique and interactive storytelling mediums ever crafted.

Creating your character
Character Creation will be done together, with myself in a free introductory session, known as a session 0. I will take this time to explore all necessary rules, as well as to help you build the character in their entirety on DNDBeyond - the official Dungeons and Dragons website without any purchases requires. All resources needed will be given to you. You will be starting at Level 1 and the Campaign will take you all the way through to Level 5. By the time the campaign has ended, you will feel confident enough to build your own characters and character sheets, but in the meantime I will help guide you through every aspect.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
There are two things required. First is a Discord Account. Ensure that you have a working discord account with reliable internet, headphones and a good microphone so that everyone can be focused on the game and technical issues on call are minimized. Second, is a DNDBeyond account. Upon creation of a DNDBeyond account, you will be invited into a Campaign on the website and upon joining this campaign you will be given all the necessary resources needed to build your character. This will be done with myself in the introductory Session 0.
What Brett brings to the table
My focus as a Dungeon Master is creating an engaging and entertaining story with my players. Everything else, in my opinion, is done to supplement whatever kind of story we are hoping to tell. I will do fun voices and use ambient music while at the same time utilizing all of the mechanics to my advantage to give you engaging and unique combat experiences that are both tough but also easy to learn with. I will follow the rules to ensure that everyone learns them, but at the same time I will bend the rules to show you how common it can be and how at the end of the day, as I said, everything is done to support the story moving forward, including bending or breaking rules.

Safety
How Brett creates a safe table
In order to have a safe and universally entertaining adventure, the use of X,N and O 'cards' are going to be used. If at any time something makes you uncomfortable, you can send me a private message with the indication and the scene will be promptly skipped. Also in Session 0, any potentially troublesome topics will be brought up and discussed. Hard lines and Veils will be established in this session 0, so that I as the Dungeon Master will know exactly when and what to do when those topics are directly or indirectly brought up.
