1. How do I join a game?

To join a game, visit our Join a Game page and follow the instructions to sign up. You can also join our Discord server to get more information and interact with other players and GMs.

2. What are the benefits of playing in Fantasy Lair?

Our games offer stability, superior quality, balance, and fairness. We use the best virtual tabletops (VTTs), audio soundscapes, and art to create an immersive experience. Our GMs are passionate and driven by enjoyment, not profit.

3. How are games run?

Games are run using the latest VTTs and Discord for communication, providing a seamless and immersive experience. Information about game mechanics and lore is found on our Kanka page.

4. Can I influence the game world?

Absolutely! Player actions and decisions can significantly impact the world of Lands of Arda. Every character’s choices can lead to the creation of new and exciting elements within the setting.

5. Is there a cost to play?

Yes, our games are run for a fee. This ensures that we can provide high-quality, consistent, and reliable game sessions. The fee helps support the community and the resources we use to enhance your gaming experience. The cost depends on the type of game, campaign and session length (if live).

6. Are there any subscription options?

Yes, we offer supporter subscriptions. These do neither cover your game fees nor provide in-game bonuses but allow players to introduce their own content into the community’s games, such as custom spells, feats, or NPCs.

7. How can I explore the lore and locations of Lands of Arda?

You can explore the detailed lore and locations of Lands of Arda on our Kanka page. It provides an organized and fashionable way to navigate our game’s rich background and stories.

8. What kind of content can I expect in the games?

Our games feature extensive homebrew content, including unique environments, NPCs, mechanics, and player options.  The themes are usually around high fantasy of a medieval level of technology with the addition of magic. The play style and tone differs from campaign to campaign.

9. What do I need to play?

You’ll need a stable internet connection, a computer and, if the game is live, a good headset and relatively quiet environment. Specific game details will be provided by your GM before the session.

10. How are payments done?

Payments are typically handled through the Startplaying.games platform for added security and reliability.

11. Do I need a camera?

No, a camera is not required to play. However, having one can enhance the experience, especially for role-playing interactions.

12. What is the difference between Live and PbP (Play-by-Post)?

Live games are conducted in real-time using virtual tabletops and communication tools, usually over a few hours in one session. PbP games are asynchronous, allowing players to post their actions and responses at their own pace over days or weeks.

13. Do I need a group?

No, you do not need a group to join. You can sign up as an individual player, and we will place you in a suitable game with other players.

14. Can you run games at times other than those listed?

We try to accommodate as many schedules as possible. If you need a game at a different time, please contact us, and we will do our best to find a suitable time slot.

15. Can we play in-person?

Currently, our games are primarily online. However, if there is enough interest and you are in a location where an in-person game can be arranged, we are open to discussing it.

16. Do you livestream your games?

We do not currently livestream our games. Our focus is on providing an immersive and engaging experience for our players without the added pressure of an audience. In the scenario where a pre-made group wishes to livestream their game, it could be possible after a discussion.
