No Foolish Matter

About the adventure

Life in the outlying rural settlements around Hillsfar can be dull. Sure, exciting things happen all the time--but they always seem to happen elsewhere. Travelling fairs are a welcome respite from the ever-changing cycle of the seasons and of the tension and toil inherent to rural life and Doctor Jubal's Carnival of Curiosities has made its way to the area. A strange sickness is sweeping across the countryside, and seems to be following the route of the carnival. As the sickness spreads so do the rumors about the fairground. Is it coincidence or is something more sinister afoot?

How to prepare

Players will require a decent and reliable mic and Discord account for voice. Please familiarize yourself with Foundry VTT .

What I provide

I will have maps and npc avatars ready in Foundry VTT. I will also have your character sheet and a token for you.

Gameplay details

We'll be using D&D's three pillars of play: exploration, roleplaying, and combat. The care and well-being of everyone at the table comes before the game or story. For safety, I use the "X" card as well as lines and veils. Lines and veils are used to set boundaries on content in a game. Lines are hard limits on content, things that the GM or the players don’t want to engage in. Setting up a line means that content won’t show up in the game at all. Veils are soft limits, things that are ok “behind a curtain” or when they “cut-to-black.” Setting up a veil means that the content might be in the game but not spotlighted or described in great detail. Lines and veils can be adjusted as needed throughout the game. There is always an Open Door. Players can leave or take a break from the game for their own safety and well-being at any time without being judged. I have a zero-tolerance policy on racism, homophobia, ableism, body shaming, transphobia, and misogyny, including microaggressions in or out of game. Not sure what those are?

How will character creation work

If you want a custom character, you will need to create a one a minimum of two hours before gameplay and notify me . You will be able to use the character builder tool and sources from my dndbeyond account. The link will be sent upon approval to join the game. Otherwise you will have your choice from some basic pregenerated characters. My previous players may use the same characters from earlier games if they prefer ( through level 4), but new players will need to create a lvl 1 character. I can provide assistance in character creation as well. Message me for more information.
