Tomb of Annihilation, Session 03

Welcome to the Relative Dimension.  We are starting with session 3 because this was the start of the Tomb of Annihilation campaign.  The first 2 sessions were a prequel, where the group got introduced to each other, and ran through a tweaked version of the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure.  If you wish to see what happened to the group during those sessions, you can check them out on our YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sGGCEB3D64&list=PLiFwxMpKGD7OyrBmPvc580Rnt-5C_xXqT&index=1

The first 2 sessions have some audio issues, as I was still trying to get used to the settings, but we still had fun in those sessions.

If you would like to watch live, join us on Twitch, biweekly Sundays, at https://www.twitch.tv/relativedpod

Tomb of Annihilation

Not long ago, we made an announcement that our Deadlands game was coming to a close, and that we would be starting a D&D campaign in its place. We will be running a D&D 5e game through the module of Tomb of Annihilation, and we will be streaming it on Twitch.

I am here now to announce that we will be needing a couple players to fill out our virtual tabletop. There is no hard date yet set for the start of this game. It may be towards the end of May, maybe into June, but right now it is hard to say exactly when we will be starting. We will be playing Sundays, biweekly (this is subject to change, but the safest estimate for the moment), starting at 5pm Pacific time. Even though there isn’t a hard date set yet, I would like to start forming the group as soon as possible to handle things like character creation discussions and the like.

We will be using roll20.net to run the game, and the tactical maps and dice rolls will be included in the stream. While I would like webcams to be used, they will be completely voluntary (as even my current webcam is not the best, and some of my current players aren’t set up for it).

So, we need a couple players that can play at the time and day scheduled. There are some other things I would ask for.

1) Please don’t have read or played through Tomb of Annihilation. Even through the open world allows for different game experiences through different playthroughs, there are some things that might be spoiled by a previous playthrough. This cannot be 100% enforced, so even if you’ve seen a few streams, please try to keep all knowledge to yourself and don’t spoil the other players.
2) Please keep rules lawyering to a minimum. If we come across an issue, a ruling will be made at the time so that we can move on. We will then discuss the issue after the game, so that we can reach a consistent decision on the matter.
3) Please play an organic character, and not just a collection of numbers and equipment. Play the character. Engage in conversation. Part of the module is a hex crawl, and we don’t need to roleplay every minute of every hour spent exploring the jungle, but try to play some of those moments.

I am sure there might be other things, but these are the basics for now.

So, what do you do if interested? Please use either the Contact button at the top menu, or email podcast@relativedimension.com with the subject line of TOA Stream and a brief introduction and any social media contact links you would like to present.
I will try to arrange meetings via discord to experience sound quality and the like, so that we can select the best/most compatible people to fill out our group.

Thank you for your interest,

Joe, Host and GM of the Relative Dimension.
