Rystarm Book 1 of 5

About the adventure

Rystarm is a frontier town recently attracting a lot of adventurers and merchants as a fallen dwarven city was discovered in the area. While the nearby Elvish tribe is uneasy with the town's recent explosion of growth. Another threat looms closer and much harsher than the peaceful forest dwellers. High fantasy setting. Starting Level 1 to Level 6. Beginners welcome. No homebrew content. Safety toolkit included. Zero session to establish party members in the world as well as cementing party involvement. Backstories are highly encouraged and will be gone over with players so that they can be used in the campaign for further hooks. Beginners and experienced players are welcome. Games will be on Saturdays or Sundays.

Additional Details

How to prepare

What I expect of players is a basic understanding of how their character will RP and how to roll dice on D&D Beyond. I can work with any new players on creation. And I have plenty of easy flow charts if they want to do things in combat.

What I provide

I have plenty of photos to drop in the discord as well as a rich lore of the area around Rystarm and the city itself. I have tokens, maps, monster manuals, and as previously stated all player source books.

Gameplay details

I will have a link to all of my safety documents that I am using in the discord available to all players 7 days before the zero session. In which we will talk about how to address each other in and out of character, go over character concepts, and any safety tool questions, and have a short adventure of going to the city to start the campaign so everyone can get an idea if they're character will fit with the rest of the party or if they may need to change as not to create animosity between before the campaign even begins. The X,N, and Os will be PM'd to me in Discord to not call anyone out at any time during the game sessions. Combat and roleplay amounts can be adjusted based on stars and wishes of party.

How will character creation work

All characters will be created on D&D Beyond I have all of the player source books available and shared for free. Characters would be preferred to be ready before zero session but time is there to adjust for edits and such. I will be speaking to each player before the zero session around the time they get the discord link for the game.
