Sanguine Ascension: A Campaign of Vampiric Conquest

Creating your character

Before Session 0, Players will be given a campaign link to D&D Beyond, where you can create your characters. PC's will start at Lv. 4, using Point-Buy stat generation. There will be room during Session 0 to create your Character. You may start building your characters before, but I advise you keep specific character details flexible to make them fit in the world we make together. PC's will start at Lv. 4, using Point-Buy stat generation.

Preparing for the session

Have accounts ready for: - D&D Beyond - Discord Audio Consideration: Please arrive prepared to play in a space free of background noise.

What Alain, aka RPG Unc brings to the table

- The game will bring a fair balance between Combat and Roleplay. Roleplay is highly encouraged to quickly establish your characters and anchor the party together. - As GM, I lean Rule of Cool with a Cost. Rules are important, but they can be waived to encourage Player creativity. But what are you sacrificing if your attempt at cool falls flat?

Homebrew rules

I favour custom homebrew rules that expediate combat without breaking it, or add to Player immersion. Custom rules I've used in the past include: - Potions as Bonus Action - Universal Scrolls Usage - Fast Turn/Slow Turn Initiative System (Untested in 5.5e) No custom rules are set in stone, and can be discussed at the table any time.

How Alain, aka RPG Unc creates a safe table

*Saftey* - An anonymous Consent Checklist will be sent out before Session 0. Checklists from all players is required to begin the game. - A shortlist of lines and veils will be compiled from the info in the Consent Checklists and reviewed during the Safety portion of Session 0, as well as at the beginning of each game. - An Open Door Policy is active at all times during play. - Game Session Aftercare includes a check-in that can be answered in person at the table, and later on via private message. - Stars and Wishes will also be used to give each other some shine and highlight what we'd like to see more of in the campaign. This can be done after and/or in-between sessions. --- *Additional Safety and Etiquette* This is a Horror themed campaign, wherein the Players assume the role of monstrous creatures. When engaging with intense themes such as violence, feeding, death and loss of humanity, its important to remember the following: - No PVP, murder-hoboing or disruptive play is allowed! - This is not an automatically 'EVIL Campaign' by default. Your choices determine your character's morality, but don't forget you're part of a group working together toward shared goals. - Though I've marked this game as intermediate, players of all experience levels are welcome. We'll all work together to cultivate a positive and helpful environment for new and seasoned players.
