Learn to Play Pirate Borg

Creating your character

Adam will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game. Additionally, We can work on randomly rolling your own Pirate if you join the discord early.

Preparing for the session

🎤/🎧 Discord and Microphone/Headset: Voice is required. We will use Discord for voice. I highly recommend the app over the in-browser option. It tends to run way better from the app. A mic/headset, while not required, reduces outside noise and offers a better experience for the other players and the DM. 🌐Reliable Internet Connection: You will be running a Virtual Table Top (maps and other handouts will appear and be of use on your screen), Discord, and your character sheet at the same time. Additionally, you may be opening other web pages to look at spells and skills rules. It is essential we are able to communicate effectively and you can use all the tools we provide. 📝Learn the Character Sheet While I will help with this, you can help yourself by understanding your skills, features and traits. Remember there is a difference between what the character knows and what the player knows. You can close that gap by understanding what the Characters can do. It may not be a character you use in the game But I highly recommending using the Codex or Forge Steel tools to build your own character to get a sense for how it will work together. 🖥️🖥️Optional, but helpful 2 screens: This reduces page swapping and allows to balance combat and rolling on your turns. This may not be possible for many situations, but it can be helpful. Accounts needed to prepare: Discord: https://discord.com/ Roll20: https://roll20.net/

What Adam brings to the table

I will bring the rules and character sheets. For first time sign up's here's a referral for $10 off your first game: https://startplaying.games/referral/clb3zuvp40010mk0872us3u3n I bring a positive attitude and a willingness to assist players through struggles. While we'll be running from modules I will do my best to lean into the rule of cool and allow you to do those crazy off the wall things you may want to try. Always ask. Sometimes it will be YES! Sometimes no. I'm no voice actor, but I will try to bring the world to life with various voices, inflections, and sounds. I will bring a quick pace to the game and will work with the group in order to speed up combat while also trying to bring something interesting to the combats as well. I am always willing to pivot if something isn't working. But I will always try to provide challenging combat and encounters. This game is Limithron's ideas through my lens and navigation while the players drive. My philosophy is we do this together. I want you to succeed, but I also want you to feel danger. Largely, I want you to feel a sense of fun, whimsy, and accomplishment. I will do everything in my power to have that happen for you.

How Adam creates a safe table

This is a game about Pirates. Not all Pirates are kind. You're getting my interpretation of what I believe the writers intended.Your team will change things and I will adapt. There will be blood and guts and grotesque acts and creatures. Slavery and sexual abuse are things that may be mentioned but never graphically. Never in the moment and I will not dwell on them. You can always X card and I will honor that. Table safety is of the utmost importance: Racism, homophobia, and threats to others will not be tolerated. I will eject problem players from the game.
