The War For Lemnar Has Begun (Saturday #2)

Creating your character

Players will need to use discord and D&D Beyond. They will create their characters on D&D Beyond and I will have a link set up when they join the game to create their characters and they’ll join discord so we can chat if you need me at all. :scroll: Campaign Guide & Player Expectations 1. :octagonal_sign: StartPlaying Attendance & Cancellation Policy Per StartPlaying’s platform policy, player seat bookings are automated. The 24-Hour Rule: If you need to miss a session, you must select "Skip Session" on your StartPlaying dashboard (or notify me directly) at least 24 hours before game time. Late Cancellations: If you do not skip or notify me prior to the 24-hour cutoff, StartPlaying will automatically charge you for the session, whether you show up or not. 2. :game_die: Mandatory Session Zero You must complete a Session Zero before you can play. No exceptions. Campaign Launch: Our first scheduled slot will be a mandatory group Session Zero to align on the world, party dynamics, and campaign tone. Mid-Campaign Joiners: If you join after we've started, we will schedule a private, 1-on-1 Session Zero beforehand to get you caught up. If we can't complete this before game day, your seat will be deferred to the following week. 3. :crossed_swords: Character Creation Rules (Level 3 Start) All character sheets must be COMPLETELY finished and submitted at least 4 hours before the session starts. If your sheet is not ready by this hard cutoff, you will have to sit out and join us the following week. Starting Level: Characters begin at Level 3. Ensure all subclass features, spells, and HP are calculated. Stats: We are using manual stat rolling for this campaign. Know Your Sheet: Please pre-calculate all saving throw modifiers and skill proficiencies. Take time to read over your features so you understand what your character can do before we log in. 4. :computer: Tech Check & Timing Please log into our virtual tabletop and Discord voice channel 15 minutes early to test your microphone and token permissions. We will not use official game time to troubleshoot individual technical or audio issues. 5. :shield: Table Rules & Game Atmosphere Age Rating: This game is Open to All Ages. Keep behavior and language appropriate. Safety Tool ("Skip Content"): If a scene or description makes you uncomfortable, simply say or type "Skip Content". I will immediately pivot and skip past it, no questions asked. Be Kind: Treat everyone with respect. Toxic behavior results in immediate removal without a refund. An Experimental Journey: I have been DMing for 5 to 6 years, but I am brand new to the StartPlaying platform. Because I am still getting used to the platform's specific tools, please bear with me as we find our rhythm! Let's bring a spirit of patience and flexibility. Open Communication: My inbox is always open if you have questions about rulings or mechanics. 6. :star: Feedback & Reviews I would love a review to help my campaigns.

What David brings to the table

I will utilize character voices, and I will also offer music occasionally to help the mood at times and I will put in some fun, twisting options that will make battle more fun and realistic, and I’ll throw in a little bit of comedy because he can’t be at Indy game without a little bit of comedy in action action

Homebrew rules

Find familiar spell can be used to bond with a creature and gain the same benefits from the spell except it is an actual creature but the creature challenge rating must be 1/8xp or under

How David creates a safe table

I will let them know that they can ask me to move to a different topic that’s not something you like. But also, I will enforce the role no PVP no fighting other players. That will not be tolerated and letting him know this is a safe space and we respect each other’s feelings. Etc
