The Queen Pulls at Her Chains - Tyranny of Dragons

Creating your character

I will have content sharing turned on so there where will be many species available to choose from! Character Creation will happen in one of three ways: 1. Use a provided Premade Character 2. Create a Character before Session 0 3. Create a Character at Session 0 The rules are as follows: 1. Must use D&DBeyond.com or at least have a digital sheet to share 2. Characters start at Level 1. 3. Any Ability Score generation method is ok. 4. Any officially published 5e materials are ok. [2014 OR 2024] 5. Homebrew is ok but we'll discuss it first to make sure its not busted.

Preparing for the session

Required: -Microphone -Discord account -Dice [digital or physical] Recommended: -D&DBeyond.com account -Notekeeping materials -If you need help creating a character, look through some of the race and class options to form an idea of what you would like to play. I can help you build the character during Session 0 or beforehand over messages.

What Mikey brings to the table

For my games, I use D&DBeyond.com for visuals and combat and Discord will be used to host the game. If you are new to the game, I'm happy to coach you through each step from character creation to combat and spellcasting. I will have a campaign made on D&DBeyond.com that you will be able to join. I have content sharing on so you will benefit from what I've purchased on the site and you'll be connected with the other VTT tools the site offers. We live by the Rule of Cool at my table. If you can weave me a good yarn or paint an awesome picture, I'm definitely willing to bend the rules so we can have cool or hilarious character moments. I love to celebrate Natural 20's with heroics and accomplishing the impossible. Natural 1's are met with the same fanfare as failures will be comical or devastating. Visually, two forms of imagination aid are used: Set pieces - an image meant to convey the setting in non-combat situations. These images are sourced from the internet or drawn by me. Combat maps - gridded maps of a combat area w/ tokens to represent players and enemies. These are sourced from the internet, or created by me. Map + Set Piece Sources: 2 minute Tabletop, Silver Compass Maps, Cassastero's Mapperie, Ataraxian Bear, GEEK NEXUS, Bourough Bound, Guild of Navigators, Monument Studios, Czepeku, Forgotten Adventures

How Mikey creates a safe table

Session 0: At Session 0 we'll discuss characters [including making characters if needed], talk about the setting, and discuss what sort of experience the players are looking for. Lastly, we'll discuss Lines and Veils to make sure everyone is comfortable at the table. Lines and Veils: These will be discussed at Session 0 and updated as needed. Open Door: If anyone needs to leave the session either briefly or otherwise, they are more than welcome. All I ask is that if you will not be coming back to the table during the session, send me a message so I can proceed accordingly. No explanation is needed, just a heads up. Breaks: The session is 3 hours long. We'll take a 5-10 minute break in the middle but we can take more as wanted/needed. Stars and Wishes: I appreciate all feedback! Feel free to express what you liked in the session or what could make the game better in whatever format you feel comfortable in; i.e. message, during session
