League Manager:  @pinkclementina

FORMAT OF PLAY

  • Season Length and Scheduling: The season will last for 8 weeks, beginning on your table’s start date. Meeting days and times will be arranged by the League Manager, based on the availability provided during sign-ups. Schedule updates will be communicated via Discord.
  • Schedule Posting and Communication: A detailed schedule, including DMs, assigned tables (4-6 players), and play dates/times, will be posted at least one week before the season begins. Your DM will then set up a group chat and a dedicated voice channel on Discord for your table.
  • Session Format: Sessions will take place on a Virtual Tabletop (VTT) platform, such as Roll20, Foundry, or Owlbear Rodeo, and last for 3 hours. Players and DMs will meet in the assigned Discord voice chat. Voice chat is mandatory, and video may be requested by the DM. DMs can proceed with the session if at least half the table is present but may choose to cancel or reschedule if needed.
  • Milestone Leveling: We will use a published module suitable for the group's size and levels, with flexibility. Character progression will follow the milestone leveling system recommended by the module. Your DM will provide details on starting levels and any character creation guidelines before the season starts.
  • Scheduling Considerations: Upon signing up, please provide your availability and any known absences. You are allowed up to two byes. If you need to miss a session unexpectedly, notify your DM and tablemates on Discord at least 24 hours in advance. This helps your DM make any necessary adjustments. While we aim for 8 weeks of play, rescheduling might not always be possible, but your DM will do their best to accommodate.

PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Positive Attitude: D&D is a collaborative game with challenges that can sometimes create tension. It’s important to keep the game separate from real life and show respect to everyone. Friendly banter is welcome, but be mindful of the group’s dynamics and ensure everyone feels included.
  • Attendance and Communication: By joining the league, you commit to the 8-week season and are encouraged to attend every game night as scheduled, except for allotted byes. If attendance or communication issues arise, your DM or League Manager will reach out to see how we can support you.
  • Avoiding No-Call/No-Show: Frequent absences may lead to removal from the roster and impact your ability to join future leagues. If you’re facing challenges, please let us know so we can work together to address them.
  • Mid-Season Changes: If you need to leave the league mid-season, please inform your DM and League Manager. Open communication helps us manage the season and keeps the door open for your future participation.

SPORTSMANSHIP

  • Pitfalls to Avoid: To help keep our atmosphere friendly, please try to avoid: working against fellow players or the DM, dictating how others should play their characters, hoarding items or attention, interrupting others, disrupting the game, metagaming, or neglecting group goals. 
  • Addressing Concerns: If you notice any behavior that impacts the enjoyment of the game for you or others, whether from a player or the DM, please feel free to reach out to your DM, the League Manager, or open a help ticket. We’re here to support everyone and will handle any concerns with care and discretion to keep our environment positive and welcoming for all.
  • Tribunal: We use a 3-strike system for breaches of sportsmanship or serious concerns. After the first infraction, you will receive a written warning. A second infraction will lead to a 1:1 restorative conversation with league managers. A third infraction may result in removal from the season and potential server-wide ban. We reserve the right to expedite this process for severe issues. 

For any questions or concerns about these guidelines, you can also contact the League Manager via Discord.
