About the adventure
All players welcome, veterans and TTRPG newcomers alike! Set in the country of the Misty Vale, Dragonbane is a medium-magic, high fantasy setting, similar to Dungeons & Dragons and lightly inspired by Norse Mythology. Dragonbane operates on a D20 (twenty sided die) Roll-Under system, which means low numbers on a D20 are great, and high numbers on a D20 are less great! This setting is great for puzzles, tactical combat, role-playing, and travel through all sorts of environments. That being said, I prefer to remain flexible with my rules. If a rule isn't working for the table, then let's change it!

About me
Hello! I'm Brent, I'm located in the Pacific NW United States, and I would be honored to be your new GM. I've been playing TTRPGs for 10 years now (mainly D&D) and GMing for a few years. I've ran Dungeons and Dragons 5e, The One Ring 2e, the Alien RPG 1e, Monster of the Week, Mork Borg, Blood on the Lens, and most recently Dragonbane. In the future I'd love to run Coriolis, Root, and Symbaroum/Ruins of Symbaroum. I'm also open to any other kinds of TTRPGs! LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly. I've only got two rules: be kind, and have fun!

Creating your character
Character Selection/Creation will be handled at the start of the session! Stats are rolled similar to DnD (roll 4 D6s and drop the lowest) but Dragonbane rules are a little different, so we can handle that together. All character info will come from the Dragonbane Core set and Bestiary, which I own and have uploaded a digital version of within Foundry, so that will be accessible to everyone within the VTT (Virtual TableTop).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A mic is necessary but a webcam isn't! I'll likely be on camera, but don't feel pressured to be as well if that's not your thing! The only program you'll need access to is Discord, other than that, I just recommend a solid internet connection.
What Brent W brings to the table
I will be providing a link to FoundryVTT where I host a server. This will include maps, tokens, and digital content. I'll also send you an invite to a private Discord Server where we will use voice and text chat, and video if you'd like! All you need is an internet capable device (desktop/laptop preferred, but a tablet will work as well, smart phones are more difficult) and a discord account! I like to use ambient music and the occasional character voice, and include moderately tactical combat. I try to stick to the rules as much as I can, but at the end of the day, the Rule of Cool takes preference. If there's a rule in the game that allows for what you're trying to accomplish, let's try sticking to that until it breaks, but if not, let's do whatever feels fun.

How Brent W creates a safe table
X - I like to handle X cards two different ways; digital and physical. Players are welcome to choose between the two whichever works best for them. Have a note card or piece of paper with an X drawn on it, then whenever you need, just hold that up to your camera. Alternatively, I like to keep an eye on the chat so if a physical card isn't your thing, or you prefer to stay off camera, just type "X" into the chat, and we can pause gameplay to work through the situation. Open Door and Breaks - At any point during the game, please feel free to momentarily step away from the game to de-stress, grab a drink/snack, use the restroom, or just stretch! On that same note, if something has come up in the game that might not be X worthy, but still feels like it warrants discussion, we can pause gameplay at any point to talk. Debriefing - At the end of each session I like to hold a few minutes to discuss what went well and what could be better! The game is only good if we are ALL having fun, so if even one person feels like they want to talk about something, let's take care of it as soon as possible.
