How to prepare

Players will need a microphone and headset, a Roll20 account, and a Discord user account. I recommend installing the Discord app for a smoother experience. During the game session, players can use Roll20's virtual rollers. They are also more than welcome to use their own physical dice. If players have access to the Google Chrome browser, they might optionally install the Beyond 20 extension to enable a connection between their D&D Beyond character sheet and the Roll20 virtual tabletop.

What I provide

I will be providing virtual tabletop maps, story illustrations, and full D&D Compendium access on both Roll20 and D&D Beyond. That's right, full character creation options!

Gameplay details

Establishing safety tools happens at the start of the session in dedicated Discord channels. Lines and Veils will be written to establish and handle boundaries. It is my priority that everyone feels supported, respected, and safe. As a general Code of Conduct, • Harassment of any sort is neither accepted nor tolerated. • Players being rude, disruptive, or abusive will be removed from the session.

How will character creation work

Character creation should be done before the game on D&D Beyond (DDB). A link to the DDB character builder with access to all sourcebooks will be provided during sign-up. Players are also free to use a pre-generated character provided by the GM. Use the character creation rules as presented in the Player's Handbook (PH), with the following notes. For this adventure, you start at 8th level. When you level up, take average hit points. No rolling for any stats. STEP 1. CHOOSE A RACE or LINEAGE STEP 2. CHOOSE A CLASS STEP 3. DETERMINE ABILITY SCORES Your character’s ability scores are generated using one of the following methods: • Standard set (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) • 27-Point Buy (See "Customizing Ability Scores", PH page 13). STEP 4. DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER Alignment. Choose a non-evil alignment. Background. You can create a custom background or use any available background as presented. Deities. You may choose any deity to worship that is unique to the Forgotten Realms or is not unique to another world. Clerics must choose a deity. STEP 5. CHOOSE EQUIPMENT Your starting equipment and gold are determined by your class and background; you don’t roll for gold. You may start with a trinket of your choice from the available rules choices. You can sell starting equipment using the rules in the PH and can buy equipment and spell components found in the PH or available rules choices. As an 8th level character, you may choose one of the following magic items to possess in addition to your standard gear from your class and background. • +1 weapon • +1 shield • +1 rod of the pact keeper • +1 wand of the war mage • +1 all-purpose tool (TCE) • +1 amulet of the devout (TCE) • +1 arcane grimoire (TCE) • +1 bloodwell vial (TCE) • +1 dragonhide belt (FTD) • +1 moon sickle (TCE) • +1 rhythm-maker’s drum (TCE) • Bag of holding WHICH RULEBOOKS TO USE?
