Here are the steps to get started at this table. Cinero is happy to help with any of this.

Essential

  1. Confer with Aslene on what the team needs.
  2. Skim Rules Changes.
  3. Read Covenants.
    1. For example, this isn't the right table for an amateur, a lone wolf, or someone with an evil plan.
  4. Ask Cinero to create a Google Doc for your PC.
  5. Answer questions #1-5 in the Google Doc, and then ask Cinero to approve them.
  6. Set up Fantasy Grounds.
    1. Download and install Fantasy Grounds Unity. See: Fantasy Grounds.
    2. For information on how to connect, see the pinned message in the announcements channel in Discord.
    3. Once in Fantasy Grounds, load all the modules.
  7. Set up Syrinscape.
    1. You can either download and install the Syrinscape Online Player app on your computer, or you can use the browser app. See: Syrinscape.
    2. For information on how to connect, see the pinned message in the announcements channel in Discord.
  8. Build your PC.
    1. (optional) Build your PC outside Fantasy Grounds (e.g., D&D Beyond, on paper).
    2. Build your PC in Fantasy Grounds.
      1. At a minimum, you need: Abilities, Saves, AC, Initiative, Speed, HP, Skills, Languages, Weapons, Armor, and Spells.
    3. When adding a spell or feature, choose the version with parenthetical information in the name. This version is programmed to speed up play.### You're free to manage other aspects of your character elsewhere, such as the Google Doc.
    4. Most race and class features are available as programmed "spells." We can also program new ones.
    5. The team manages inventory in the Player Spreadsheet.
    6. You usually start with the Republic Marshals Standard Kit. Collaborate with the DM on further gear.
  9. Give Cinero a portrait of your PC, in Discord.
