A Day at the Festival COPY

About the adventure

Session Zero Fees will be refunded. I just did not want anyone to get confused thinking the game itself was free. Behind every great hero is a story - a tale of brave deeds, cunning plans, self-sacrifice, and bold fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds. A Day at the Festival is a collection of mini-quests and games ranging in difficulty. The scenarios are all linked together to form a complete mini-campaign with a hidden plot.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players will need access to a copy of The Player's Handbook (AD&D 2e), a set of polyhedral dice (or be wiling to use Roll 20's die roller), access to Roll20 and discord, a 2e character sheet (hard or digital copy), a mic and speakers to use with discord (I will be using voice only not video). Also You might want to generate a Roll20 token for your PC and and familiar or animal companion your PC wants.

What I provide

I will provide maps, stories, backup copies of character sheets, roll20 player tokens, and any required player handouts.

Gameplay details

I allow a fair amount of narrative authority, but some things are set. XP will milestoned for his game. XP is granted for RP as well as finishing a quest, collected treasure and encounters completed. The DM does not award killing blow XP to a single PC, but does divide XP amongst all who participated in the encounter. Session Zero will include discussion of safety tools and triggers via discord prior to gameday. They can be discussed and should be discussed in a mature respectful manor. There is a checklist questionnaire that will need to be filled out at the end of Session Zero. Your reasons for wishing to have something excludes are not required… We do not require you to justify your triggers, only to let us know what to avoid. Player’s may make characters of whatever gender and orientation they desire. The standard races listed in The Player’s Handbook are: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-elf. If you have a character idea that isn’t one of these races, talk to me. I will need to have full information on the race you want to play. There are source books for other races and I probably have them. Some racial tweaks might even be allowed. All are subject to DM approval. This it going to be heavy RP with a bit of Hack & Slash and a variety of in-game games of chance. It is an old school Heroic fantasy/Swords & Sorcery game. I will be running the campaign following a homebrewed story to keep it fresh and include aspects of PC backstories.
