The Crystalline Murders. A one-shot Discworld adventure for D&D 5e.

About the adventure

Ankh-Morpork, Discworld’s greatest city. From the Post Office to the Patrician from the Unseen University to the Mended Drum, the city is full of all kinds. When strange murders start happening, that aren't Assassins' Guild approved, members of the watch, wizards, and even witches will need to investigate.

How to prepare

Players will require a decent and reliable mic and Discord account for voice. Please familiarize yourself with Foundry VTT by checking out their free demo.

What I provide

I will have maps and npc avatars ready in Foundry VTT as well as your in game 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

Players will choose from several pre-generated characters, that are well known in the Discworld series of books, before gameplay.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
