Creating your character

We will be going over character creation during session 0, which as always is free. During the session zero, we will be going over races, classes, rules, approved homebrew etc. You will be starting at level 1, and all official D&D books are allowed. If you have any supplementary 3rd party books, or any homebrew you want to include. We will also be going over that during the session 0.

Preparing for the session

We will be using Forge VTT as our main platform, along with Discord as are main means of communication. I will also have a D&D Beyond group made for those who do not wish to have there character solely on Forge. We will also be using the Spell Points system, so I recommend you use a spell point calculator if you do not want to use the one in forge.

What Journeymen brings to the table

I have all of the D&D 5.5e main books, along with older additions as well. I also make most of my own maps, and any that I do not make myself. I take from the amazing Czepeku. Along with this, I have always played into the playstyle of Power Fantasy. I like making players powerful and throwing them against tough enemies. I have always been the type of GM to put story first and rules second, so if I think something is cool enough. We can usually work something out. Along with this, I have designed several homebrew systems and powers to help make you all feel more powerful.

Homebrew rules

I have several homebrew rules that we will be going over during our session zero. Here are just some brief examples. Healing Potions: When you are drinking a healing potion, you can choose to do so as a bonus action rolling normally. However, if you choose to still use an action to drink it. You instead treat it as if you rolled max. Spell Points: Instead of the standard spell slots, I use the variant rule of spell points. Spell points work almost the same as spell slots but instead allow a greater flexibility of casting. Along with this, I have created mana potions. Which allow you to regain some spell points during the heat of combat. Hit Dice: When rolling your Hit Dice on a level up, if you ever roll a number below your constitution modifier. You can instead take you modifier instead. In addition, at level 1 you gain an additional hit dice and can add it to your Total HP. Birth Signs: A Birth Sign is a system I designed from the ground up. At level 1 you select your sign and gain a unique set of abilities or traits that grow with you. Adding new versatility, and avenues of play during your game! Companions: If you ever need help during your adventures, have no fear for the companions are here. Companions are special NPCS that you can acquire through the game, they can be used for a variety of purposes. From helping in combat, to completing quests, or managing your Bastions in your absence. Psionics: Along with magic, there is the mysterious power of Psionics. Using my own Homebrewed Sanity Score. Psionics are powers and abilities wholly different from the normal magics that you know. Allowing you to preform feats never before seen. Reworked Bastions: I have also taking to reworking Bastions a bit. Adding new facilities and tweaking old ones to add some more versatility and fun. Transformations: Have the ability to become a beast of the hunt or a creature of shadow with my own systems for Lycanthrope and Vampirism. Gaining new abilities and feats to add and shape to your style of play. All this & more will be included, and will be gone over during the session zero.

How Journeymen creates a safe table

During our Session Zero, we will be going over any triggers and or types of content that you want to avoid. Along with this, if you ever have an issue during play or after. Do not be afraid to come to me to talk about it. We are all here to have fun after all, not to end up as a reddit horror story.
