How to prepare

Players will need a mic and free Roll20, DnDBeyond, and Discord accounts. We will be playing the game on Roll20, while using DnDBeyond to house players' character sheets. And, Discord will be used for communications.

What I provide

I provide everything that is included in prep work: maps, tokens, storyline, etc. for the campaign. I have most of the official WotC content on DnDBeyond. Players are welcome to develop their own tokens and or use official content I may not have.

Gameplay details

During Session 0, we will cover my rules for running a game, content advisory, x-cards from myself and players, and homebrew rules from myself and players. A list of everything discussed during Session 0 will be made available to all players. We'll have roughly 30 minutes for aftercare each session, and a debriefing after each chapter of the story (roughly every 1 to 2 levels). Each session will have one break that lasts 15 to 20 minutes. As well, I am available most of the time to discuss players' thoughts and ideas for the game.
