Creating your character
We will create characters together as part of our session 0, either virtually over discord or in our first session together. We will be starting our heroes off at Level 1, Tier 1.
We can discuss class / subclass choices in the discord!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using Roll20 + Demiplane as our VTT option, you can create a free Roll20 player account at the link below, and I will share the Daggerheart materials with you once you join the game via Demiplane. I run video and audio, as well as session planning and coordination through my discord community, invites will be provided once you join the game.
What Chris Stagno brings to the table
I think particularly compared to D&D Daggerheart gives a much more open and player driven focus on the story, frequently zooming in and out to focus on the important scenes. I will flex those muscles to help tell a dramatic story where what happens to our characters lives at the heart of our sessions, and provide meaningful choice and consequence based on what choices are made at the table. I do like to do voices and characterizations, and I hope that you will find my combat style more cinematic vs blow-by blow

How Chris Stagno creates a safe table
I have documentation about server expectations among my community which outlines all of the topics that we will discuss as part of our session 0. I leverage X-Card as well as lines and veils as my primary safety tools in my games.
