One-Shot: The Winds of Gravenmoor - October 24th, 2021

I (Stephen) am going to be running a one-shot on October 24th but first I need a few players - which is where you come in. This will be a first-come, first-serve though our $10 patrons get first dibs. After that, I'll be opening it up to our $5 patrons (15th), a few days later to our $1 patrons (18th), and then it will be open to anyone on our Discord (21st). I have room for 6 players in the one-shot. If you are in one of the lower tiers, feel free to message me beforehand and I'll add you to the waiting list.

Time: Sunday, October 24th, 2021 [20211024] 12pm EDT to about 4pm EDT [4pm UTC to about 8pm UTC]

The adventure: We will be playing with Dungeons & Dragons 5e and our one-shot will be a small adventure fit to be quite spooky.

The Hallow's Eve festival is in full swing in the small town of Gravenmoor, but all isn't right when strange winds begin flowing through the town. Is the biting cold just a sign of early winter, or something far deadlier from the moon-lit forest?

For character generation:

- Characters are made using the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset

- Standard Stat Array or Point Buy

- Level the character up to 3rd level

- Characters are restricted to Player's Handbook, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.

- Magic items can be selected from the Dungeon Master's Guide, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, or Xanathar's Guide to Everything. You can select up to 2 common items and 1 uncommon item.

- Multiclassing and Feats are allowed

- We will be interacting with humanoids, constructs, and undead.

- No evil characters. Your characters should want to be part of the story and be interested in what happens next. They should be proactive and want to figure things out without being dragged along.

Before the game:

- Send me your character sheet (or I'll send you a pre-gen before the game if you so wish)

- Set up an account on Roll20

- Select a character token/portrait and send it to me so I can set it up on Roll20

Helpful tips:

- Due to time constraints, I'll be pacing combat quickly, I understand that this might be a new system for many and am happy to explain certain mechanics. Some things might be handwaved as I won't stick strictly to the rules for first-time players.

- If you build a character, I can recommend DnDBeyond.

- Ensure you have a working microphone (phone or computer mic is fine) and working speakers/headphones.

Background: For the background of your character, you can be an adventurer traveling through the nation of Kingsland through the Bethnal forest - or simply a resident of Gravenmoor. This adventure takes place in my world of Talia, though it doesn't require you to know anything about this material world. If you are curious, you can find more information on our website - Neiko's Primer to Talia. If you would like to use one of the races presented in the supplement, please message me first.
