• Have fun!
• We will play using standard 5th Edition rules without changes, unless those changes are agreed at session 0.
• No player vs player attacks. While characters can have disagreements, these should not lead to physical (or magical) attacks. To keep things fun and light hearted for everyone, characters should not seek to harm other characters in the party, be that physically, by stealing from them, deliberately trying to ruin plans. In short: don’t play like an idiot!
• This game should be fun for everyone. There will be no bullying, racism, homophobia, sexism, or other intolerant behaviour. I have a zero-tolerance policy of this kind of behaviour, and players acting in this way will be removed from the game. No refund will be given, and you will not be welcome in future games.

I will help with character creation. Typically we will talk about the kind of character you are looking to make, and then either create a character together, or you can make it yourself if you prefer. To help ensure all player characters start at the same power level, I use these rules for character creation: All characters start at the same level, usually level 1 unless the campaign or one-shot we’re playing needs higher level characters Ability scores use 27 Point Buy or the Standard Array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. Details of the Point Buy system are listed in the Player’s Handbook, or I can help you. Any alignment of character is allowed, as long as that character is a team player. I encourage characters that can cooperate and work together for shared goals, and who have a willingness to adventure as part of a group, even if their motivations are less than honourable. To offer an immersive world and a unique experience, it helps to have a bit of a backstory for your character, and some goals for them in game. I can use these to make your character truly a part of the world, and tailor parts of the story to your character. We can work on your backstory together to ensure it fits with the world.

There is a lot of source material available for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, from officially published Wizards of the Coast books, to books from other publishes, to home brew created by players, and not all of it is created equally. I aim to provide a fun, balanced game, so I like to limit sources to well-tested and balanced ones. Currently these are:

• Player’s Handbook
• Volo’s Guide to Monsters
• Xanathar’s Guide to Everything
• Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes
• The Tortle Package
• Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica – races only
• Eberron Rising from the Last War – races only
• Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything
• Mythic Odysseys of Theros – races only
• One Grung Above
• Officially published Adventures
• Unearthed Arcana (run past me first)

• All official Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. From Curse of Strahd Tales from the Yawning Portal, you can enjoy a session created from any of the current official campaign books.
• Call From The Deep. Do you prefer a session with an other-worldly invlience? Call From The Deep combines swashbuckling, Lovecraftian horror and complex mysteries with the classic D&D formula.
