Campaign 2 Session 0 - Against The Slave Lords
The player introductions
General Summary
Session zero was a quick discussion between the DM and the players, then the players continued to flesh out their characters and how they knew each other.
○ Stealth/hide - Same thing, and nearly follows the rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide.
○ Misty Step as spell has verbal sound - as trait, no sound
• Stay engaged - During the game sessions, you are sharing time, which is valuable. Any distractions during the game session isn't just wasting your time, but everyone else's, too. Please stay focused.
• Dedicate the time - Each player is relying on the unique skills that the members of the party bring to the table. Missing game sessions robs the party of the those skills. Please dedicate the time to the game sessions. It is understood that an occasional emergency will come up, but excessive missed game sessions will result in your character being removed from the game.
○ In the event that you do have to miss a game session, please be as forthcoming as possible - the more time you give the GM to deal with your absence, the better the absence will make sense.
• Love your character - Get engrossed in the history, the abilities, and the actions of your character. Think of small quirks that you might like to incorporate in the to the personality. What little history bits might be interesting about your character?
• Expect your character to die at any time - I will not actively seek out the death of your character, but, sometimes, the encounter may be too much; or the dice may roll against you.
○ Celebrate the death
○ Mourn the death
○ Always be thinking of your next character
• Distractions - Since we are all in a shared environment, please do not have a movie, the TV, a radio, or other noise in the background. This could distract the others from the game, and make hearing each other difficult.
• Alcohol - We are all adults here, at least for now, and I will not limit alcohol or drug use, as long as imbibing does not cause an issue with the game.
• Game rules - We will be starting the game using the 5th edition rules laid out in the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual. Any rules disputes will be handled quickly, with little argument, and as long as the ruling makes sense at the moment, the GM has final say. Once the play session is over, we are welcome to debate the rules and ruling, and find a resolution that we can all accept moving forward.
