Hello, all

A friend and I are going to be co-DMing an extensive Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition game using a homebrew world.

It's a mix of normal tabletop stuff with an emphasis on roleplaying. There will be some casual roleplay possible as well. The focus is pretty much on a group of adventurers exploring an extensive homebrewed world.

We have the party sized tagged as "Small Group," but if more people are interested, we'll take that into consideration.

The game and roleplaying will take place on Discord. We will use a thread to hold character sheets and give summaries of sessions.

We don't have any homebrew classes, but we will allow most Unearthed Arcana to be used. Just run it down with us and we'll approve or disapprove. We will also allow most published things outside of the core rulebooks, but pls no yuan-ti purebloods.

Sessions will be on Saturday nights and will go on pretty late.

We won't be using tiles most likely. The reason being is Roll20 is honestly lame, and we're too poor for the more sophisticated tabletop software. We also want to make things a bit more simple.

Starting character levels and other things like that will be determined after we find enough people.

Hmmm... Interested, although I guess I'd like to know more about both the setting and the timezones involved (since I'm GMT and "pretty late on Saturday night" could mean something completely different for me if you're in another timezone) before I even think about committing.

Also yeah, Purebloods are pretty bullshit, what's up with that? XD

@RinThank you for showing interest! As far as setting goes, we're going a high fantasy world which takes (liberal) inspirations from multiple fantasy sources such as Forgotten Realms along with a bit of our own lore to make things interesting. There'll be a multitude of nations, and while we're thinking of things for an entire world, we're only focusing on the certain parts in the world as far as lore is certain

Expect most things in the guidebooks with our own twist to them. There'll be a pantheon as well with gods having different aspects of worship, so many will have more than one alignments.

As far as timezones are certain, I live in Guam, so Saturday nights at least for people living in the states is a Sunday morning for me. We can figure someyhing out regarding timezones depending on who else we have, as I am very open to waking up early on Sundays to start things.

And we hate snakes. Especially magical magic resistant people-snakes

Greetings, everybody!

I also plan on participating, and in the future I intend on co-DMing with Cu Chulainn. For now, however, I merely plan on participating as a standard player.

@Cu ChulainnIf I didn't screw something up whilst checking it, that makes you about ten hours ahead of me. So this might work but we'll see how things turn out.

Anyways, that sounds pretty cool so far so hopefully I can actually make this work out. I guess it's time to crack open the books and ponder characters ideas. :D

If you take 1st timers to 5th ed, I wouldn't mind riding on this crazy train.

Tangentially related to trains (since engineering and all), I am considering maybe rolling artificer but we'll see how that turns out. I have warlock as a fallback if that doesn't work out, but I really like the look of the artificer but again, we'll see. XD

I will PM the Discord link to everyone who has shown interest. There, you can all ask questions about the world so far.

I will also post links to the PDFs regarding the rules, including th Player's Handbook.

@Rin Great! I do believe we can make the times work out after all. And as far as I'm certain, Artificers will mesh well with the world, although firearms are a very rare occurance in this world.

@VitaVitaAR@rush99999 It's fine if you are new! I'm more than happy to show you all the ropes to the wonderful world of 5th edition! The more, the merrier, after all. And as far as character making goes, I'll be able to help you all roll a character within the weekend, if not some time this week.

@Iuniper Yeah, we still have room! If you're fine, we may or may not have a larger than average party, although that gives me more liberty for special encounters. now i have an excuse to unleash my hordes of goblins, mwhahaha

Hahaha awesome. Weirdly enough, in my 5e experience, the super big bosses are easy for large parties whereas the tiny hordes are weirdly impossible.

Sadly the flaws of 5e's action economy. Luckily most of my bosses have minions and homeruled twists, eheeh.
