Gameplay details

When you play in our games, we commit to high standards of professionalism, consideration, and kindness. You are paying to be here, as are your fellow players. Help me to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and an excellent experience for everyone. 1. Love Each Other The first rule is always to love each other. Be respectful of your fellow players, get to know them, work together as a team. Be helpful. Be nice. Be considerate. Don't engage in PvP without consent. 2. Engage Even if it isn’t your turn, be invested in the stories and actions of your fellow players. Together, we can tell a better story than any of us ever could on our own. Be efficient with the time you have the spotlight, think ahead to future rounds, and remember that impulsive, non-optimal strategies sometimes create the greatest moments! 3. Content Warnings As a general rule, I keep my games roughly “PG-13” rated. I will do my best to run the game and treat all subjects and themes in a mature way. Please help me make the game comfortable and safe for everyone by doing likewise. We will be using the X-card/Red card safety system within Fantasy Grounds. If there are specific triggers you would like to ensure we avoid let me know and I will enforce that across the board. Your character can be any gender you like. Our games are LGBTQIA+ friendly. You can have a combat wheelchair if you want.

How will character creation work

As this is a one-shot game you will be playing pre-generated 2nd level characters. Alternatively if you are familiar with D&D 5E you are welcome to generate a 2nd level character yourself on D&D Beyond, send me the link a few days before the game and I will import to Fantasy Grounds. 27 point build, starting equipment as per PHB, allowed sources: PHB, Xanathar's, Tasha's. The setting is AAW's "Aventyr" world and this one-shot is a prequel to the Rise of the Drow campaign.
