🦇🩸 Shades of Blood: Unearth the Mysteries of the Past

Creating your character

Please refer to the free Player's Guide (linked above) to learn the most suitable character options to fit the theme and premise for this adventure. We will have a Session 0 where we can get to know each other and learn what types of characters everyone is interested in playing. Variant rules (e.g., Free Archetype, Gradual Ability Boosts) will be discussed and agreed upon at that time.

Preparing for the session

You will need a microphone, a Discord account, and a computer that is capable of running Foundry VTT. You can test out Foundry here: https://demo.foundryvtt.com/join Foundry also has a Lightweight Client that you can install instead of accessing Foundry through your web browser, which may be less taxing on your computer. Using the Lightweight Client is not required—just another option at your disposal. The Foundry Lightweight Client can be downloaded here: https://foundry.ruleplaying.com/flc

What Erika brings to the table

You will be invited to my private Discord server where there will be a channel dedicated to the game for announcements and general chatting with your fellow players. Each player will also be given access to a private channel with only the GM and themselves to handle any private matters.

Homebrew rules

When rolling a hero point, if the new result is the same as the original, you may keep rolling until you get a new result. You may "call your shot" to use a hero point on a secret check. For example, "If I critically fail that Stealth roll, I will use a hero point." If a hero point is expended in this way, I will reroll for you privately, then let you know that your hero point has been used once we've moved on from the event.

How Erika creates a safe table

Each player will have their own private channel on the Discord server that is only accessible by themselves and me in case any private discussions need to be had. I am also available to talk over voice or video chat upon request. Each player will be required to complete an anonymous Lines and Veils form before beginning, which can be added to at any time. I have a module installed in Foundry that allows players to anonymously raise X, N, and O cards.
