Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a working microphone and a Discord account. That's it! During our first meeting I can help with everything else including explaining character creation via Roll20.

What I provide

I am bringing passion, flexibility, and a love for the game. With thousands of hours of D&D experience, I will foster an inclusive environment for both old and new players alike. This campaign will include high-quality battlemaps, custom enemies for more engaging combat, ambient music and art for immersion, and an open world full of vibrant characters, and nuanced stories all designed for the most enjoyable experience possible.

Gameplay details

Players can expect a rich open world with a grand storyline that keeps things focused but not railroaded. There will be plenty of roleplaying opportunities, engaging combat encounters, and exploration of the wilds as you travel across the Sword Coast. This adventure includes some epic dungeons and fights, but there will be plenty of room to focus on character goals and immerse yourself in the world. As part of this, the campaign and variant rules may be altered subject to players' wishes. Ultimately, you, the players, will have the final say in the type of story that we tell and the type of adventure that we embark on. This campaign will have a heavy emphasis on roleplaying and character backstory. You are the main characters and your actions and roleplaying choices will always drive the story.

How will character creation work

During our first meeting, Session 0, we will make characters together. Characters will be level 3, use point buy for stats, and start with some additional gold for starting equipment and a feat. I will provide several resources to flesh out character backstories and personalities, so feel free to come with an idea for your backstory. This campaign will have a heavy focus on roleplaying so extra time will be given to character creation to build connections to the main story.
