Gameplay details

✧ General My primary goal is to ensure you have an unforgettable and fun experience in this campaign. The old adage says, "Failing to plan is planning to fail," and I fully believe that. To maximize the awesomeness of our adventure, there are a few key steps in place. ✧ Session 0 In our first meeting, we'll cover the basics to set everyone up for a successful campaign. Expect a brief overview of the campaign world, our collective goals, and guidelines for ensuring everyone has a great time. We will also help get you acquainted with the software that we will be using for this campaign, like Foundry VTT. ✧ Safety First Player safety is paramount. We'll discuss triggers and implement safety tools so everyone at the table can explore the world of Barovia without compromising their mental well-being. It's crucial that we establish and respect these boundaries from the get-go. ✧ Character Creation One of the highlights of Session 0 is the character creation process. Rather than shoving your character into the world without thought, the goal is to weave your character into the story. After a short discussion to flesh out a rough concept, I will provide a short questionnaire designed to help you delve deep into your character's mindset, making them a seamless part of the unfolding narrative.

How will character creation work

📖 Story Everything starts with story. Think about a rough character concept and we will workshop it together to weave into the world of the campaign. ⚔️ Starting Level If you join us at the beginning of the campaign, you will start your character at level one. Otherwise, you will be placed at the same level as other players, ranging from 1-20. 🎲 Stat Rolling We will role stats using this web application. It functions off of standard stat-rolling methods, but it helps prevent unfun outliers while keeping the randomness of rolling: https://intchargen.netlify.app ❗D&D Beyond We will create characters together on D&D Beyond, where you will join my campaign. This will give you access to all official sourcebooks and content, as well as give me easy access to viewing your character sheet 🤺 Premade Characters If custom-making characters isn't your cup of tea and you just want to hop into gameplay, I am happy to supply you with premade characters.
