How to prepare

Players will need to have a mic and webcam to play. Please make sure that both are functional and working before game time. We will be using Discord of voice and Roll20 for video. No need to know the rules. I am experienced in teaching new players how to play the game, so this game is new player friendly. All you need is a good Internet connection, a mic, and a webcam to enjoy this game.

What I provide

I will provide the adventure in Roll20 and the source books needed to play the game. All of those materials will be provided to my players joining the game.

Gameplay details

Session 0 will be used to discuss my own table and house rules that I use to run my games with, which material would be allowed, and species restrictions for the game. We will also discuss what I implement in my own games as well as which ones you would like to include. I would like to take the time to hear your own wishes as what you would like to see in the game so that I can tailor it to your preferences. You are my client, and I want to make sure you get the most out of your experience. After we discuss Session 0, we will be starting character creation in Roll20. I will be available during that time to answer any questions and provide any assistance with what you need to know and do.
