Kronellia - Airships and Adventure in Strange Lands

Creating your character

I will give more context and the framework for character creation at Session 0, but hopefully you could have a character idea beforehand! Starting at 4th level. Stats going to be rolled. You can have your character sheet on any platform you like, as long as I can access it. The setting is Steampunk/ Adventure and there is still normal dnd magic, so you can place most races and classes. Most official books with species, subclasses, spells, backgrounds and feats and other materials are allowed. Homebrew will need my approval. Either case I'll review the characters just to make sure they aren't absolutely broken.

Preparing for the session

I ask for a decent mic, and to have your camera on to play. This will be through a Discord server where everything will be coordinated and explained in detail. The VTT that will be used is Owlbear Rodeo. I also will create a DnDBeyond campaing where you can create your character in which I have a good amount of material for you to use.

What Kevin brings to the table

I am a GM who loves, gets invested and prioritizes story: both of the world and events I create, but also the player's characters, with including and making the character's backstory into the overall story, and I also ask of players to also get invested in the other's characters' stories. I also love combat, I try to make them difficult and will probably expend a lot of your resources, but will no be a meat grinder. My combats are at relevant points in story, I don't like combats that happen just because (like random encounter tables), and story will be a important element in combat, as well as trying to make combats more engaging, with some sort of puzzle in combats, the monsters having unique mechanic that will have to change your game tactics, etc. I also have a DND Beyond account where I can share content. The books I own are: - 2024 Artificer’s Forge - 2024 Players Handbook - Chuthulu by Torchlight - Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - Griffon’s Saddlebag two - Grim hollow: Player's Guide - Locathah Rising - Mordekainen's Monsters of the Multiverse - One grung above - Tasha's Cauldron of Everything - The Crooked Moon - The Gunslinger class (Mage Hand Press) - The illriger class - Valda’s Spire of secrets - Van Richthen's guide to Ravenloft - Xanathar Guide to Everything

Homebrew rules

My main homebrew rules are: - Crunchy Crits: On a critical hit with a weapon, you deal the maximum damage of the dice, plus a roll of the die plus modifier. Ex: Your weapon is a Longsword that deals 1d8+3. On a crit you would deal 1d8+8+3. This does not apply to Sneak attack, Divine Smite or any other effect - Incapacitated, Paralyzed, Stunned: Those three conditions have been changed to not just make the player lose a turn, but just limit it in a serious way. - Dying Condition: When you drop to 0 hp, you don't fall unconcious, but remain up and still be able to have a turn, but you must roll death saves at the end of your turn. You can also make a great last action, having a guaranteed success, but two immidiate death fails. - Chain of Counterspells: When there are 3 counterspells done at the same effect, the last person must roll on the wild magic table.

How Kevin creates a safe table

I will first and foremost have session 0, where the potentially sensitive topics and themes will be discussed and clarified how they will be included, if they are at all. I also will send a consent list that players can fill to indicate what topics they are ok with.
