How to prepare

Have a microphone, a Discord account (which is free) and a Roll20 account (the free tier is absolutely fine). Webcams are encouraged to build camaraderie but by no means required. An understanding of the 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons rules is helpful but also not necessary.

What I provide

Everything else! The Roll20 module comes with a ton of assets that I've augmented with other images, maps, and ambient music.

Gameplay details

I host a Session 0 to cover the following in the first 30 minutes: 1. Introductions 2. Safety tools for the game 3. Adventure overview 4. House rules The next hour will cover character creation for those still needing to make or modify one, followed by cross-character collaboration (determining what ties the characters have to each other, filling in gaps in backstories, etc). After a short break we'll conduct a prelude adventure to dive right into the campaign for the remaining game time. Communication is a process, so expect a pregame check-in to make sure everyone is in a good headspace for the session and a quick debrief to catch any concerns or immediate feedback at the end. The Discord channel is also open between sessions to help set conditions for the table.

How will character creation work

I provide gender-neutral pre-generated 1st-level characters (one of each class). If you wish to modify one of those characters or create your own, you may do so during Session 0 using any of the officially published works for 5th edition (that aren’t setting-specific, such as Eberron, Theros, or Strixhaven) using the Standard Array method for Ability Scores (15/14/13/12/10/8). If you prefer to bring a character to the table then that is also fine, but I will do a bench audit of the sheet before it is allowed into play. I am happy to collaborate on weaving in your backstory to the main plotline.
