How to prepare

Once you sign up, you will be given a link to the Roll20 and our discord. We will be using Roll20 for visuals as well as electronic versions of our character sheets that will be used during game (It makes rolling for you guys easier on both of us.) As for discord, please read the Rules and Regulations section before we begin playing. You will need a mic (Your computer mic is fine) to be able to join the discord calls where we will be talking to each other during the game. The discord is also used for introductions, memes, and art so feel free to have fun!

What I provide

I will be bringing maps, handouts, and other visuals through Roll20! Depending on the moment, there may also be music playing through discord.
