When pandemic hit StartPlaying asked me to help run custom games and special events. When pandemic restrictions were lifted I went back to playing in person games and left StartPlaying for a while. I am back but I need your help to help my to raise my hosted game count and add more reviews to my profile. I hope you can help me and we can have an amazing time telling this story together.

    How to prepare

    Make sure you have a computer with the latest up to date browser from Chrome, Firefox or Edge. Safari unfortunately does not work with Foundry VTT. Make sure your browser has WebGL enabled. A good headphones and microphone is required. A webcam is highly suggested but not required. Foundry does tend to be a video RAM and/or RAM resource hog. For this make sure that you have a integrated GPU to enable hardware acceleration and 8gb of RAM. Must have a display that is no smaller than 1366x768. Most modern computes can do this with maybe an exception of Chromebooks.

    What I provide

    Upon confirmation I will provide the link to the website online where we will be using Foundry Virtual Tabletop to play the game. The game will have the choice of characters with their character sheets already set up.
