How to prepare

Players should prepare for this game by making sure the have the following: Equipment: - Decent electronic device with a stable connection: Tablet, phone, computer, laptop Software: - Discord (Free) - D&D Beyond Account (Free) IMPORTANT!!!!!! I placed the difficulty of this campaign as intermediate predominately because of where the players are going to at level-wise at the beginning of the campaign. I am NOT apposed to new players joining this campaign, I think it's absolutely fantastic that you want to play this epic story and I will be happy to guide you through this journey. What I do want to encourage is that any newer players have a FIRM grasp of the rules and fundaments of the game, and have a solid understanding of at least what their character at level 10 can do. If you feel that that's something that you don't have, let me know! I'd love to talk to you and see where you're at in terms of game-play knowledge, and there are several resources I can point you to in order to help you grow quickly as a player before starting this campaign. NO ONE will be turned away based on the level of their knowledge or skill of the game!

What I provide

I'm so excited to be playing through this legendary campaign with all of you, and I'm really looking forward to helping you, through your characters, create one of the most amazing stories that could ever be told. In terms of what I will be bringing to the table: - D&D Beyond integration with a large portion of characters, classes, subclasses, races, and other important things unlocked. - Maps and tokens provided by the New D&D Beyond Maps, as well as official artwork from Wizard's of the Coast and their partners. - A dedicated Discord server for the campaign. This will be where all the action takes place, with a campaign chat, OOC chat, Rolls; as well as tabs for art, memes, and individual journal tabs for each player to be able to keep track of individual notes or to have one-on-one conversations with the DM(me) in game. - My experience from DM'ing for over several years, across a plethora of different campaigns and game settings; from Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Curse of Strahd, Several adventures from The Compendium Collections, as well as two of my own homebrew campaigns set in a world of my own creation. - A desire to always be attempting to learn more, or become better at what I do, and I can only do that through you!

Gameplay details

I'm a huge advocate for the importance of transparency and communication when it comes to safety tools. I recognize that there are a lot of really amazing and unique people that all have a lot of amazing things to bring to the table, and vice-versa, things that they don't want to see. Before getting any further, I have a wide open-door policy. I believe that anyone and everyone should be able to come talk to me about things that are concerning them. I will gladly talk with you and we can see what we can to resolve any issues that you are having. I will provide a Session 0 document, which will go over my a large amount of my personal lines and veils, my house rules, as well as give players the opportunity to provide me with anything that they're not comfortable seeing. As this is Play-by-Post, there is a lot of freedom to be able to retract, edit, and make modifications to content, so do not hesitate to let me know!

How will character creation work

Character creation will take place on D&D Beyond, with the campaign link that I provide. You will access to a plethora of characters, races, backgrounds, feats, and classes to choose from; every one is available for you use! We will be using a modified Standard Array (17, 16, 15, 13, 11, 9 ) as well as one starting Feat. I would encourage players to think of a feat that would modify their character, and try to avoid optimization, but I won't force you one way or the other. Each character being created will be Level 10! This is a very high starting level, so make sure you go over all of the different things that your character at that level would have to make sure you understand what kind of character you're playing. Your character will be provided with the following at the start of the campaign: One magic item of your choice, Rare or below, from the DMG. 9,500 GP from your previous escapades of adventuring for you to use as you see fit. (I will provide a document of all the items that you can purchase, or [with my approval] you can provide any homebrew items that you might be interested in as well) Make sure that you are creating a character that would be a hero; though they don't have to be a paragon of virtue or anything, just a character that would have already done a lot of heroic deeds in their life as an adventurer.
