- A character sheet will be provided - Physical or digital dice (D20) are recommended but not required
While I will keep the content age suitable, please keep in mind that there will be monsters, battle, and otherworldly magic. In the game, characters can die (but this will not be directly depicted). I am happy to make accommodations from parents based on what they believe their child is capable of handling.
We'll be using official D&D content and the Fifth Edition (5E) ruleset.
