Creating your character
Steven will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Welcome to the exciting world of D&D in the Tabletop RPG Universe. To communicate during the game, we will be using a Discord server that you can join here: https://discord.gg/HGd2HNdAQ5. You will need a microphone, speakers, a Discord account, and a D&D Beyond account to play (both are free). Characters are ready to go, and I can explain them when we get started. Looking forward to playing with you!
What Steven brings to the table
I have crafted a representative selection of 3rd level characters from the 2024 Player's Handbook for you to choose from as pre-made character sheets in D&D Beyond. If you would like to request a character concept, please let me know at least 24 hours before the session starts.

Safety
How Steven creates a safe table
Safety tools will be available via discord bot for lines/veils and XN&O Cards. The usage will be discussed briefly prior to the start of play. If breaks are needed during the session, or any other issue arises during play that was not previously covered, you are free to send me a direct message in Discord and step away while I re-direct the scene.
