How to prepare

Webcam is encouraged, Microphone is required. I can help out with getting a microphone to proper settings as well to ensure that everyone has a decent volume level and clarity. This is to ensure that it doesn't become a distraction during session. For character sheets and other that is up to the player. All I wish from the player is an idea of a character. Something as simple as "Elven Archer who relies on his skills for combat rather than magic." Something that has an idea developed out that can help me get a clear picture of my players character to help them develop it. At the end of the day if you want something that doesn't 100% fall within the official Wizards of the Coast books, I can still work with you to develop or find something that makes sense with your character. I prefer you to have read over the basic rules. However, that isn't required, If rulebooks overwhelm you and scare you away from the game. It's very easily to talk them through it. Tabletops can seem intimidating when you only look at the rules. Going over the situations as they come is very acceptable. The Character sheets and rolling will be handles 100% in Roll20. This is the easiest way to get a fair rolling system.

What I provide

I will be providing the setting, and situations. As well as any maps that will be needed for the session. I don't personally provide the artwork or anything like that for the session.

Gameplay details

I attempted to have 1 combat session at least per session. I definitely push my player to RP situations out, so if you narrative gives way to allowing them to talk a situation out in detail. I try to encourage it. At the end of the day my setting is supposed to provoke thoughts and allow the characters/players to make decisions. Some being difficult ones that might require morale dilemmas and possible rifts. I want plays to develop their characters in a way that allows everyone to enjoy it.

How will character creation work

I usually run a session 0 gathering players. However, with new players I usually attempt to do a One on One session to kind of walk them through small situations so they get a feel for the game.
