Campaign Tone

This will be a casual game at a slower pace. This one shot will take place Friday evening and is designed for new players to help understand the game better and get D&D gameplay experience. New players are encouraged to join the session.

Session should be about 4 hours with a short session 0 to troubleshoot any technical issues as well as define the game expectations. Upon invite I will send out a session 0 summary to minimize time going over the game content and expectations of the session. I will have both player and character introduction at the beginning.

Players are in the driver’s seat to the extent that the DM has material to cover what the PCs are going to do that evening, and if they wander too far off the adventure path, then the game pauses for the material to catch up. It is possible to fail objectives and have the campaign continue—win or lose; there’s going to be action.

This session will be based in the mining town of Phandalin on the Sword Coast and is designed to be completed in about 4 hours of gameplay.

Difficulty

The difficulty of this session will be for new players and will be of minimum difficulty, however PC causalities will happen if players bumble about or if merely unlucky.

Players are expected to use team-centric, combined-arms tactics/strategy. There are random encounters that could turn deadly, and PCs can wander into places beyond their ability to survive if the party does not retreat and reassess.

Player who successfully complete story line quests will be awarded xp, coins, items and weapons.

PC Death

Since this is a 1 shot PC death will be unlikely but possible if the players make poor decisions and/or have bad luck.

Magic

This is a heroic-magic campaign setting—there are NPCs with magic, but they usually do not wander about killing monsters. The frequency of magic items is straight out of the DMG.

There is no open market for magic items, except potions, and even then, the alchemist making potions usually has a customer list she’s working towards. However, most alchemists rely on external sources for their concoctions and are predisposed to people selling rare materials.

Coin

Uses the same coin system that is in the PHB. The nobility also uses letters of credit, which they can exchange for coin with other nobility and the crown. There’s no fractional banking system, but there are wealthy merchants that will exchange coins for these letters of credit.
