How to prepare

You'll need a desktop or laptop computer with a microphone for communicating through Discord voice chat. If there is feedback from your monitors you'll be asked to get some headphones or earbuds or go push-to-talk on discord to assure that it doesn't detract from the gaming experience of the rest of the party. You'll need an account with Discord and an account with Roll20 (both are free). New players are definitely welcome, I just ask you do your best to read and understand the features of your class and race, and don't hesitate to message me so we can make sure we are on the same page!

What I provide

Access to Roll20, advanced use of API scripts and macros to expedite combat and provide other quality-of-life or immersion-building benefits, DMsguild material, and homebrew ideas to flesh out the campaign. Ambient playlists suited to where the party is at, high-quality maps.

Gameplay details

Professional and simplified D&D5e Roll20 experience. Statblocks, macros, and mods to the VTT to make sure we can learn and move things along in a fluid manner, and provide immersive and dramatic moments. Of course, you should expect a fair amount of violence, as with any DnD adventure. For this and other reasons, games can tend to be a bit gory in description. There may also be times when a survival/horror element will be evoked. As for any other type of mature themes, everything should be relatively tame. I am happy to implement any sort of toolset for players who feel they may have certain concerns about one subject matter or the other, or feel free to message me and get a better feel for the vibe of the table. I want my games to be as inclusive as possible and the only thing that matters is that everyone feels like a part of a team, given the opportunity to have fun and shine in their own right.

How will character creation work

The Characters will be built either on Roll20 or Dndbeyond (using the Beyond20 addon), You can use the Charactermancer or edit sheets manually. Players can use either Standard Array or Pointbuy for stat distribution. Players should provide a backstory to tie their PCs into the world. Some common prompts are: -What connections does your character have to the world? (Family, organizations, enemies, etc) -Why are you adventuring? -What goal does your character have for the long-term? Short-term? 3 or 4 sentences answering these questions would be appropriate. (Though the more information you give the DM, the more hooks to your backstory can appear in the adventure👀). If you are unfamiliar with Roll20 I have a short guide with links to youtube videos in the Discord server, and I'm always happy to answer questions, aiming to get back to players in a timely manner. Because I include a fair number of homebrew items in my games, I suggest that character sheets be made on Roll20 unless you are confident enough with using Dndbeyond to edit homebrew items as needed.
