When a potential new player joins the Discord server, there are a few steps they must complete before they can participate in sessions.
Step 1: Character Concept & Opening Ticket
Before starting the process, the player should have a general idea for a character in mind. They can read the Creating a Character page for guidelines specific to Kelek. Once that is done, they should go to the #open-a-ticket channel and open an "Interviewer" ticket. A ticket is a channel that opens at the top of the Discord server which includes all Interviewers/Firekeepers/Storytellers (depending on the ticket type), and the individual who opened the ticket.
Step 2: Interview
Using the ticket, the player schedules an interview with an Interviewer. The interview is used to get a feel for how the player would fit in in the server, as well as identify any potential red flags. The interview itself should take about 15 minutes, but it's recommended to leave time for questions on the server or the world.
If the Interviewer determines that the player would be a good fit, the Interviewer approves the player.
Step 3: Player Set Up
Once a player is approved, a Storyteller must:
- Give them the Resident role
- Remove the Recruit role
- Create a Foundry login for the player
- Username = Discord username (NOT nickname)
- Randomly generate a password and send it to the player in DMs
- Note: Passwords can be changed using the Update your Password module, but Storytellers will still be able to view it.
- Create a blank character sheet.
- Note: Ask if the player will need a sheet for a Familiar, Animal Companion, or Eidolon.
Step 4: Character Approval
The player creates a character in the Foundry or has them imported from Pathbuilder using the steps outlined in Creating a Character.
A Firekeeper will review the character sheet (using this checklist) and make sure that everything is in order. If approvals are necessary (such as for Uncommon or Rare options), they will be handled in that ticket as well.
Once the character is fully approved, a GM will move the character sheet (and any minion sheets) to the Residents folder, and the ticket can be closed.
The player and character are now ready to sign up for their first expedition!
