How to prepare

You will need to install Discord on your device and have a webcam + microphone set up with clear audio and video. We will use Roll20 for combat (it's super easy!) and the Beyond 20 Google Chrome Extension (this will allow you to make rolls from your DnDBeyond character sheet directly in Roll20). All of these are free tools! During the first session we'll do a quick setup/tutorial of all the tools so everyone feels comfortable with them. I've been playing virtual DnD every week during the pandemic using these tools and it makes running the game a breeze.

What I provide

You will receive high quality images of the maps we'll be using - a town map and a continent 'explorers' map which is partially unexplored. As you push the boundaries of these unexplored areas and discover new regions, the map will be amended, reflecting your progress. Explored areas of the map will also be updated with waypoints as you discover unique places you want to remember (I use World Anvil for this, you can make a free account if you want to interact with the maps, but it's optional). Using the tools mentioned above, you won't need physical dice but if you prefer to use them, that is fine.

Gameplay details

The gameplay is tailored to fit YOU! I will sit down with the group in the first session and we talk through what we want the game to be. Due to the episodic, quest-centric nature of this campaign, it tends to be Low or Medium roleplaying and Medium or High Combat, seasoned with some Exploration based on player preferences. I can shape the rewards and narrative to fit the desires of the players, or if you like to be surprised, I can 'roll' with that too! (warning: sometimes I use puns)

How will character creation work

We will do character creation in DnDBeyond during the first session. We'll use the Point Buy system.
