Additional Details

How to prepare

A basic understanding of D&D 5e and your character's abilities will help make games run smoothly, of course I’m always willing to help players that are still learning how to play. Beyond that, players will only need to prepare the following: 🔹 Good quality microphone 🔹 Free accounts for both Roll20.net and Discord.com 🔹 A mindset to support your fellow partymates and work together

What I provide

My games will be consistent. Barring illnesses or emergencies, this will be a game that is guaranteed to run every week, on time, every time. In this campaign, you can expect an excellently written adventure that ties in your character's personal backstory, premium quality maps and artwork, a well organized Discord server, a complete understanding of the system, an easily understandable set of House Rules, improvisational skills, and voice acting for NPCs. I aim for quality above all else, ensuring thorough knowledge of the system and virtual tabletop, a fully prepared campaign that I have read and studied from start to finish (no sight reading), and a friendly, professional attitude that knows how to balance positivity without being patronizing to my players.

Gameplay details

We will have a session zero using the Lines and Veils system to identify what topics to avoid. After games, we'll take a few minutes to go over the game and discuss what we enjoyed and what could have been improved on. Short breaks will be called for mid-session to allow everyone to pause and attend to personal matters. I aim to provide a safe, inclusive environment. No behavior or language that makes other players feel unwelcome, unsafe, or unable to participate in the game will be tolerated. My games are relatively lighthearted, but sensitive topics may occasionally be mentioned as part of the background to the adventure. D&D is a combat heavy game, so expect a level of violence and gore, but nothing too graphic.

How will character creation work

Players may participate in a Session 0 for character generation, where I can help them make their characters or give suggestions on how to write their backstories. Most official resources canon to the Forgotten Realms will be available for character creation (homebrew available upon review), and characters also begin with a Lvl 1 "half feat", alongside their choice of various bonuses tailor made for my campaign. The use of Tasha's Custom Origins will not be featured.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
