HI! Brand new channel and first video! Welcome!
I should’ve done this when I first starting DMing this campaign a few months ago, but I didn’t… but, now I see the error of my ways so I’m going to try to start now. Better late than never.
Here’s the situation. I run a bi-weekly in person game at my home in Arizona. We play on a table that I made with a built in TV screen to display maps. I use Foundry VTT software for maps and handouts. The players move their tokens via an Elgato Streamdeck that’s hooked up. They can either roll physical dice or roll them virtually. I usually roll dice through Foundry, on the screen and visible to everyone, but I have the options to do either. It’s taken a year or so to get to this setup and my players seem to enjoy the flexibility of it combined with the precision of being able to measure and have animated spell effects. So far so good.
We had a session 0 where I “onboarded” players (as I put out an ad looking for players and was overwhelmed with responses). They created characters and I gave them the basic rundown. We had one player realize this wasn’t the kind of game he was looking for and drop out, so we replaced with another interested party who has been a great fit to the group dynamic. And this is why you have a session 0!
So the party is currently in Port Nyanzaru for the last two sessions. I’ve changed the death curse mechanics a bit and had the players travel to Chult by boat instead of the horrible teleportation hook in the book.
That’s where we’re at. I hope to do be doing more of these videos and also putting up recorded sessions of some online games that I’m about to start running at startplaying.games
Hopefully you like my channel. Drop me a “hi” or something. This is a wonderful hobby and I love making new friends.
Cheers,
David aka EvilPenguin
