How to prepare

We will be using Discord for text and voice chat. I ask that you have a quality microphone and can speak English fluently. We will be using Foundry VTT - which is similar to Roll20. You do not need to purchase Foundry, it is free for players. Older computers or those with slower internet will lag and be outright unplayable with all the moving parts of Foundry. Please check you can run Foundry by visiting - https://demo.foundryvtt.com/join Click any player and the password is foundry. Move around and change the scenes to see if it is something you can run successfully.

What I provide

You can expect me to also be putting in $ per session towards everything we do. Prepared scenes built in FoundryVTT on customized battle maps made in Dungeon Draft. Me on video and voice for 3 to 4 hours, role-playing NPC characters, narrating the world, and running battles. Me prepping a minimum of 3 to 4 hours a week outside of the scheduled game. Custom-written epic quest module tied into the main storyline. Custom-written epic quests for each player tied to race/class. Custom character portraits. Homebrew materials, incorporation of other homebrew at request. I plan to reinvest the money on books to expand my game library and knowledge, custom-paid artwork, and other supplements for the betterment of the game.

Gameplay details

First and foremost players in my campaigns should have fun. This is a game of make-believe, where you are empowered to become someone you’re not and enjoy things you can’t do in real life. I’ll take it a step further and say that even the game’s creator doesn’t really have the authority to dictate how the game is played at our table. We will have session zero to lay out how we’re going to play the game we each want to play and how this will all coalesce into the Tyranny of Dragons campaign. This game is meant for everyone. There will be instances of descriptive combat and spell effects on people and drinking / carousing. Hard Lines Limits on content that I will not explore Romance with NPCs, Sex with NPCs, Player vs Player combat Soft Veils Are played out as “behind a curtain” or “cut to black.” Romance between PCs, Sex between PCs, Murder, Gore, Prejudice, Slavery, Racism

How will character creation work

Character Creation You will start at Level 2. You can choose an additional feat. Races & Classes I prefer humanoid races. Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfing, etc. I will accept a unique race in a party at a ratio of 1 of 4 / 2 of 5. No elementals, no Kenku, no Aarakocra, no Tabaxi. All official 5e classes and subclasses will be permitted (PHB, XGE, TCA, etc.) A diverse party of classes, no duplicates please Characters can multiclass upon reaching level 11. Alignment Alignments are reserved for creatures from the outer planes and creatures tightly connected to them (such as, for example, paladins and clerics). Otherwise, they are replaced with the idea that it's not so much about how the character acts, as it is about where they side in the major struggle of the setting, with good/evil being the major alignment and lawful/chaotic being the minor. Though, of course, it does at least suggest how one might behave. For this campaign I expect characters to be on the side of good. Ability Scores Individually roll 4d6kh3, twice, taking the better result OR Collectively roll 4d6kh3 for everyone to use one stat array, twice, taking the better result. Choose where the scores are applied. Ability Score Increases are tied to character level at 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19, you have three choices: get a +2 bonus to one ability score, get a +1 bonus to two ability scores, or gain a feat. Dexterity is the most valuable ability score in the game, to counter this: Spheres may reflavor the spellcasting ability, such as having an INT-based Warlock (Int, Wis, or Cha Only) The highest among your Dex, Int, Wis, or Cha bonus applies to initiative. Leveling Leveling in this campaign will be based on story milestones after the party completes a Night’s Rest.
