Deaths are common, but heroes know the risks. Now, it's your turn. Fight through the games, solve the trials, and become the winning team at any cost. Welcome to the Magician's Trials.

How to prepare

You'll need a webcam and microphone for this game. A laptop webcam and wired headphone mic work perfectly fine! Don't worry about super fancy equipment or anything. You'll need to join the Discord Server and the Roll20. In addition, make sure that you are comfortable with using Zoom for the purposes of gameplay. I find that seeing each other's faces and reactions makes it way easier to interact over online games!

What I provide

Zoom, a Discord server, Roll20, information on rules, roles, ability paths, intimate knowledge of safety tools, and an excitement to tell stories with you!

How will character creation work

Character creation will occur via a private Discord. Most character creation will happen privately, but there will be a Session 0 that is held to establish team/character history. Characters do not need to be fully created by Session 0, but a character concept is necessary. Session 0 will include topics such as character creation, a little bit of lore, and safety tools.
