Do the games cost anything to play? Do I need to purchase a Foundry VTT licence?

All games are free. They take place on a private Foundry VTT server. You do NOT need to purchase a Foundry license, nor do you need an account on foundryvtt.com

How do I access the Foundry VTT server?

• The Foundry server can be accessed here.
• The password will be provided to you once your character has been imported.
• Some players may experience issues accessing Foundry (usually due to ad-blockers or old browser versions). Please try to log-in to Foundry prior to the first session to avoid delays.
• If you would like to roll from D&D Beyond, please make sure to have the Beyond20 browser add-in installed.
• The Foundry VTT server may be offline between games.

Please watch this great tutorial.

How do I create a Character?

• The preferred option is for you to use DND Beyond. Please make sure that Character Privacy is set to Public, and please provide me with the link at least 24 hours before the first game.
• If you would like to create a character manually (probably because you wish to use your physical books), please build them directly in Foundry VTT, so they don't have to be re-imported. If this is the case, please let me know, and I will create your player profile in advance.
• Please provide me with some sort of an image (as early as possible) to be used as the portrait for your character. It will be used as a token in Foundry VTT.

Player Character creation guidelines:

These are general guidelines, designed to help you set up your characters in DND Beyond. Some of these rules may be overridden for specific games:

• Any official 5e WOTC source material is allowed. Please check with me before adding any Homebrew or Unearthed Arcana content.
• Variant Human builds are allowed.
• Feats are allowed.
• The Point Buy or Standard Array methods are preferred for generating ability scores. If you really want to roll for stats, please use "4d6 drop 1 lowest" method.
• When creating a new character at a starting level above 1, please use the average HP die value to calculate the total hit points. When leveling a character during play, the general rule is to roll for HP.
• The encumbrance rules are usually not followed (because I'm lazy), unless really unreasonable things start to happen.
• A detailed background story is not expected for a character, but I highly recommend that you at least think about your character's Ideals, Bonds and Flaws.
