About DM
Welcome! Thank you for joining this game run by DM with only few years RPG experience and less than a year PBP experience.
What i lack in experience i make up for in enthusiasm. I promise to put effort into the game on daily basis and be open for feedback
But I expect each player to also invest their time and be flexible to play this game in a way which I am able to manage.
I've introduced multiple restrictions on Session 0 to prevent problems I am not qualified to resolve.
I believe I'm good at analysing module and reflecting it to players, good at enforcing DnD rules (and know them well) but not as good role-playing NPCs and describing environment. Most importantly I am not able to assist you making a coherent team and motivating your PCs to follow the hooks.
Disclaimer
Congratulations of getting invited to Session 0. You are not in the game yet, though! You have only secured your place in game if you meet the one week deadline for steps 1-3 described below.
Prerequisite
All players read policies and rules and sign it off by posting "understand and agree" or ask question. And please do ask questions - those are not common practices I expect you to have questions.
1. DM share details main NPCs and events preceding the story that will start in "Session 1" thread
2. In any order as player wish following will happen:
2. A Every player work with DM to define how his PC is related to the NPCs
2. B Player decide on ability score method: point buy or roll. If you choose second just roll 4d6H3, 4d6H3, 4d6H3, 4d6H3, 4d6H3, 4d6H3 in this thread.
2. C Player finalise their character sheets: class, race, background, ability scores etc. If you choose Human variant, you should know that I am not allowing lucky feat and recommend to avoid Sentinel
3. DM approve characters or ask player to update missing details or rework anything DM believe would not fit the story
See details below
Deadline: 1 week from invite sending
4. Players share character picture and token picture (DM will be using token on battle maps)
Types of things DM do not want to see in your PC character sheets:
I. Although I've stated only PHB races allowed I actually only want to precent a) races that have significant role in the story, such as Tabaxi minstrels b) races that do not fit the story (see point 1), for example two of NPCs are PC parents and warforged just do not have them. So after(!) you have read the story and list of NPCs you could PM me a race of your choice if you think it fits the "1". I may approve it even if not in PHB
II. I want to double check that you have followed the dnd rules as written in character creation process
III. I love to keep mechanical things simple but story rich, so I dislike any optional or variant rules, but I could make exceptions
IV. Nice to have: I would prefer players to choose classes/subclasses that don't use reaction to influence other character actions. If it is a damage reducing or dealing feature - it is cool. If it cause re-roll, stop movement, change advantage/disadvantage, etc for other creatures, that could make PBP battle complicated
Any questions so far?
