Tomb of Annihilation: Sunday session

### Dinosaurs!

Yes! You, too, can adventure in the Jungles of Chult where a variety of dinosaurs roam! Ok, ok – there are a bunch of undead, too, but... dinosaurs! What? You want to find out why there are so many undead and put a stop to that? And also figure out what else is going on? Well, alright; there’s much more adventure to be had than just seeking out dinos, but only if you’re ready for the challenges, which are many, devious and dangerous! All those dinosaurs, though…

Warning: This game is very hazardous. The death rate of PCs is likely to be quite high (and the other two instances of ToA that I’m currently running support that hypothesis). I strongly suggest that you do not get too attached to your latest character! This is, however, a great opportunity to try out a variety of builds/classes!

Game information:

• This will be an LGBTQ+ friendly environment. I will not tolerate any bigotry whatsoever in my sessions.
• I’m in the UK so will be operating on UK time.
• The aim is to run weekly sessions on Sundays at 3pm UK time.
• Sessions will, typically, be 3.5 to 4 hours in length.
• We will be using Discord for voice communication during game sessions and a little out-of-session text communication at other times, especially for session reminders and perhaps a little between session housekeeping.
• Sessions will happen if there are at least 4 players.
• I do use some APIs to enhance the game experience.
• This is an extensive module that will take many sessions to complete. This is not for you if you’re only looking for a short campaign.
• Characters are expected to advance from Level 1 to around Level 9 or 10 during the course of the campaign.
• Please ensure prior to sessions starting that you have a working setup that is capable of handling Roll20 and Discord at the same time, including a headset and microphone for the voice chat. This module is a very large module with some big maps. Ideally, I’d like to be able to use Advanced Fog Of War, but have noted that on older computers (especially those without a dedicated GPU) there can be a lot of slow-down. Consider carefully whether your system is up to it as it’s frustrating for everyone in the session if there’s one person having repeated technical problems.

About me:

I’ve been playing and GM’ing various pen-and-paper RPG’s since the mid 1980’s, with a large emphasis on D&D, but also lots of hours in Call of Cthulhu and Warhammer FRP, with many more hours spread amongst various other systems.

Why pay for a DM?

• Roll20 Pro features and a compendium made available to you (currently: Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, Volo’s Guide to Monsters, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything)
• Commitment from me and more likely to have committed players
• I spend time customising the module in places and preparing sessions in advance
• Lots of experience

Disclaimer
This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of £8 per session paid to PayPal or TransferWise at least 24 hours prior to each session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.

Character creation and advancement

You can use either the point buy system for ability scores or you can also opt for the standard array, if you so wish.
Note: The party is currently at level 6 and you will be starting at that level, too.

Your first session with me will be for free, so you can find out if you're a good fit for the group/game.

Level advancement is based on milestones rather than experience. If your character dies, your new character will join at the same level as the rest of the party.

You can use any of the races/classes available in the compendium that I have, apart from kenku, yuan-ti, and races with natural flying speeds. Races and builds from other officially published, non-beta sources should be approved by me in advance on a case-by-case basis. No races with flying speeds. No home-brew.

Sessions will happen if there are at least 4 players but there will generally be no ghosting of characters. If the player is here then their character is here – think MMORPG style.
