Adventurer's Guide to the Bible—A Quest of Biblical Proportions

Creating your character

Characters will be created during Session 0, where we’ll walk through the process together and establish the tone, expectations, and themes of the campaign. This session will also cover table guidelines, safety tools, and any house rules to ensure everyone is comfortable and aligned before play begins. Players will begin at level 1 with standard starting equipment. Ability scores will be determined using the standard array. Players may use content from official 5e sources (including both 5e and 5.5e Player’s Handbook options). In addition, this campaign includes custom races, backgrounds, and subclasses from The Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible. Players will be provided with access to these materials, and are encouraged to draw from them to help ground their characters in the setting. Because this campaign is rooted in an ancient historical setting, player race options will be discussed during Session 0 to ensure they fit the tone and world of the story. Character management is flexible. Experienced players are welcome to manage their own sheets, while newer players (or anyone who prefers support) can use D&D Beyond or a custom online character sheet provided by the GM. Finally, party dynamics—including alignment, cooperation, and PvP—will be decided as a group during Session 0, ensuring a shared understanding of how the party will function.

Preparing for the session

Before the game begins, players should complete the following: 1. Join the Discord server (link provided after booking), which will be used for voice, communication, and session coordination. 2. Create a free D&D Beyond account for character creation and reference materials. 3. Create an account on the GM’s website (link provided after booking), which will be used to access additional tools and character sheet support if needed. This game does not use a traditional VTT. Instead, combat and exploration are run using physical miniatures and maps streamed through a live camera feed, providing the feel of an in-person tabletop experience online. No additional software downloads are required beyond Discord.

What Loremaster Brian (Bible5e) brings to the table

As your GM, I provide a structured and immersive experience that prioritizes storytelling, player agency, and consistency. While I generally run the game using Rules as Written, I place a strong emphasis on narrative flow, character development, and meaningful choices that shape the world around you. Players will have access to a custom online character sheet, along with support for D&D Beyond. I’m happy to assist with character creation, rules questions, and onboarding—especially for newer players. Combat and exploration are presented using physical miniatures and detailed maps streamed through a live camera feed, offering a unique hybrid experience that combines the clarity of in-person play with the convenience of an online game. You can expect: - A story-driven campaign with impactful decisions - A balance of roleplay, exploration, and tactical combat - Consistent rules adjudication with a focus on fairness and clarity - A welcoming table for both new and experienced players

How Loremaster Brian (Bible5e) creates a safe table

Player safety and comfort are a priority at my table. During Session 0, we will establish expectations together, including a discussion of Lines and Veils to ensure everyone is comfortable with the tone and content of the game. Players will also have access to X, N, & O safety tools, which can be used at any time during play. These will be handled privately via direct message on Discord, allowing players to communicate concerns discreetly and without interrupting the flow of the game. I aim to create a table environment that is respectful, collaborative, and responsive, where players feel comfortable engaging with the story while knowing their boundaries will be honored.
