What I provide

I'll be bringing game knowledge, a high-quality adventure and a safe place for you to play D&D 5e. I have run multiple adventures on Alchemy already and will be bringing detailed knowledge of the system and setting. I have an Alchemy Unlimited subscription to help make this game an immersive experience for everyone involved. I grant access through the campaign on D&D Beyond to content from all of the major WotC books. If there's something specific that you can't find let me know!

Gameplay details

Once you join the game on Start Playing Games you'll receive links to my discord server, a D&D Beyond campaign, and the Alchemy game. The Discord server is only used for planning and discussion between sessions. We will use the communication tools (such as voice chat) built into Alchemy for the game itself. You can find out more information on Alchemy VTT here: https://alchemyrpg.com/ I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and this game is safe space for all players. I don't tolerate intolerance in my games.

How will character creation work

Characters can be created in D&D Beyond by following the link you receive after joining the game on Start Playing. We'll discuss character creation in session 0 but I would encourage you to come with ideas for the kind of character you'd like to play. Your character will need to be finalised in D&D Beyond at least 24 hours before our first session. The following applies to all characters: - Characters start at 1st level in this campaign. Level ups will be done by milestone. - All characters should use starting equipment for their class. I am open to discussing changes to this within reason. - Ability scores can be generated through Point Buy, Standard Array or Rolled. - Hit points must use fixed value. - All Wizards of the Coast published content is allowed. Homebrew and other third party content is *not* permitted in this game. - Multiclassing is allowed. - Feats are allowed. - Optional class features are allowed. - As part of character creation, you will have the option to select an 'event' from your character's past from a pre-determined list which will be shared during session 0. Each event is associated with a feat but you will not know which feat each event is linked to. You will have the option to take the corresponding feat at level one if you wish to. You cannot swap this feat for another but you can decline it.
