Additional Details

How to prepare

Things you will need to participate in our Adventure: • Mic and headphones to prevent feedback and echoes. (Highly Encouraged) • Discord (free) for Voice (required) and Video (optional) • Roll20 account (required and for players, Free) • I will provide links to tools such as Watch2gether (Free, for ambiance) and DnDBeyond(also free) • Access to a laptop or desktop computer and an internet connection • Time and willingness to play! Players should prepare by having a headset with/and a microphone, an active Roll20 and Discord account, and having a small amount of time during the week before Session Zero to work out any technical issues with the GM. You will need Discord, available at https://discord.com/download. It's possible to use the browser-based interface, but using the Desktop client is recommended. You can also use the mobile app if you prefer, but I do suggest the use of Push-To-Talk, which doesn't work as well on mobile devices. As we will be utilizing voice chat, you'll need some kind of microphone and either headphones or speakers (whatever is built-in on your device may be sufficient - it's what I started with). Video is optional and will be up to the group as a whole once we get underway. Please be cognizant of the others in your campaign, meaning having a dedicated, distraction-free space set aside for game sessions.

What I provide

Allow me to offer you the benefits of a paid game: - A Paid DM is and should be, financially obligated to show up and give their best. - The Players are equally financially obligated to show up and not let their money go to waste. - Taking payment allows me to work on the sessions full time, this ensures all the required preparation is done and contact is possible. Separate Discord servers will be used per Tier level to ensure the ability to reach out between sessions - Material costs are covered by your payment. Buying resources to use in games is covered by the DM and access to all of Roll20's content is available to you via Compendium Sharing.

Gameplay details

- Combat/Roleplay Balance: My games feature a healthy balance between the two key facets of Dungeons and Dragons that I love most. Collaborative and cooperative gameplay as well as challenging scenarios allow a player to test their characters as well as their own abilities. - The term Murderhobo and the type of gameplay that facilitates that is discouraged. - On the opposite side of the spectrum, pacifism is also discouraged. Our goal here is to provide the environment that allows the characters (YOU) create to develop into the Heroes that this virtual world so desperately needs. - As the DM (Dungeon Master) it is my role to be a storyteller, arbiter of the established rules as well as a guide to the world of Faerun. - I like to balance a ruleset somewhere between RAW (Rules As Written) and RAI (Rule As Intended). - Bullying, racism, homophobia, and talk of politics are not permitted during the game session. - Method of Communication: Voice Chat via Discord is compulsory to participate in the game.

How will character creation work

In this campaign, we are choosing to use the Standard Abilities Array Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 10) Backstory: Having a backstory is not mandatory, but it is definitely encouraged! If you wish to write one I will do my best to incorporate it into the main story (backstories intrinsically linked to the flavour of the campaign are gold dust!)

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
