Hello, hello! Welcome to my interest check!
I have run Tabletop D&D games before, but as you have probably noticed, this will be my first time trying to run said game over these glorious forums.

Now, normally I'd give a summary of what the adventure is about, but I think in this case, it'll take away the fun of discovering said Adventure for yourselves, and exploring this game's world for yourselves.

As a DM, I love the roleplaying aspect of it and I love the story aspect of it, and I find the combat system to be a good tool to augment stories. So expect an equal balance of story telling, intrigue, and battles.

In the main thread, we can write the story out in the IC section and hammer out the battle details and skill checks in the OOC section.

For this adventure, I'd like the adventurers to start at Level 3.

I do accept Unearthed Arcana, and any other races or classes that aren't in the Player's Handbook. However, I would like to check over the Character Sheets before I accept them. Just post, or provide the links, to your Character Sheet either here, or in the OOC of the thread.

Also, I ask that you PM your character's backstory to me. Include your characters' motivations, and a secret that your character keeps hidden from the rest of the world. I'll be incorporating your characters' backstories into the overarching story of this adventure.

I'm looking for 3 to 7 Adventurers.

I know there are RPers out there who love to play evil characters, but I think if the party is completely evil, then the adventure wouldn't necessarily work. Therefore, I will accept 2 evil characters. First come, first serve.

EDIT: I just remembered! For character creation, I prefer the Standard Array instead of the Point Buy.

EDIT: For starting gear, everyone starts with the standard gear provided by their class, and roll for their level 1 wealth. No magic items.

If someone wants to be a Co-GM, you are welcome to become one. Just let me know.

Annnd....That should be everything! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

D&D 5e Character Sheet

1. JBRam_2002 (Kenku Monk/Druid)
2. Pennydumb123 (Halfling Fighter)
3. Cu Chulainn (Triton Paladin)
4. The Harbinger of Ferocity (Wood Elf Druid)
5. rush9999 (Human Warlock)
6. ihinka (Human Blood Hunter)
7. 0 Azzy 0 (Dwarf Ranger)

Heyo! A couple of quick questions:

1) Do you allow CS's that are designed to be updated on the fly like Mythweavers or Dicecloud? Those make it easier to maintain a character sheet without needing to re-upload every time something cbanges, like being poked in the face by a goblin. I spend a lot of time on mobile and probably would have trouble uploading a pdf for every minor change, and potentially would take a while for major changes as well. Here are some examples of the same PC on both formats (I have planned ahead on Dicecloud since it's not the official sheet for the RP, so ignore the features that are missing a checkmark): Myth-Weavers | DiceCloud.

2) I know you want to keep the adventure for us to discover in game, but fo you have an overall tone? It would help me decide which characters to try out. Drunken Master Monk doesn't work in every campaign, for example.

Also, the Xanathar's Guide to Everything was recently released, which updated several subclasses that were previously in SCAG or UA content. Not sure if you are aware or have a copy. If you are in need of a copy, I know a few rogues who have expertise in acquiring downloadable copies, or I can point you towards their store :) I'm also working on collecting all character building info in one place, so I can get you full texts of specific things as needed should I join.

Edit: one more thing. We have a fairly active D&D family on Discord. It can make communication and strategy on the go a little easier since a lot of people are more active there than on RPG. Of course, it also requires everyone to get/use Discord.

@JBRam2002 Hi there! ^_^

1. Yes, I do allow Character Sheets made on Myth-Weavers and DiceCloud. ^_^

2. As for the overall tone...I don't necessarily have one, but I do notice that a lot of my games end up gaining a light-hearted tone at some point or another. But there will definitely be some serious moments.
I would say that a player will be able to play the Drunken Master Monk in this Campaign.

I am aware of Xanathar's Guide, but I do not have a copy. However, I am in Japan, where the downloading/anti-pirating rules are very strict, so I am a little wary about just downloading the PDF of said rulebook.
That said, if you do join, your help in that area is greatly appreciated. ^_^

Edit: I do have a Discord.

I sent a PM with my Discord info. I'll wait to see who else is interested before making a sheet, but you have my interest!

Yes pls, although I would like to ask if you would be alright with just normally rolling for wealth and having us choose our items based off of our roles, as the starting equipment only really supports a level 1 character (for example, Rangers who get their spells at level 2 don’t start with a component pouch this way.) Another reason why I ask of this is because there are some builds that seem to depend on having items deviating from the starting equipment gained from their class normally, such as the Hexblade.

If you’d prefer us to choose our starting equipment from the listed packs, anyway, I’d still be on board!

I may make a Bladesinger, by the way.

@Cu Chulainn I believe the plan stated in the OP is to have you both gain starting gear and roll wealth, then take both. I could be wrong though.

I am pledging my interest here, as at the moment I am looking into playing a Circle of the Shepard druid with a heavy emphasis on recruiting animal allies through Animal Friendship, Beast Bond, and the like while using them to grant advantage to the melee in the party as well as the druid themselves, mostly because of Primal Savagery. Do let me know if this is a viable and reasonable thing for this campaign; I do not intend to have a mass army that is, just a mighty companion or a few lesser beasts and the summons to follow in time.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity I'll just note my PC idea currently is a Monk / Moon Druid. I don't think we'd interfere with each others' abilities, but something to keep in mind. Shepard is great for summons with the Xanathar's changes. If you don't have the Xanathar book, I can get you that subclass.

I would love to claim an interest in this, but seeing how the closest I've come to playing any D&D is binging on Critical Role, I'm a little hesitant.

I will in no way be offended if you do not wish a complete novice on your roster. But if you are willing to take me on, I would very much like to give this a go. I was thinking of a human Blood Hunter /the class designed by Mat Mercer./

@ihinka I have also DM'd a player who was a Blood Hunter, so I'd be glad to help out too :)

@JBRam2002, more than anything it depends entirely on what you intend to do with it. Most of the idea behind what I am trying to leverage is to field more creatures and have more things to improve with spells and effects. Something different than my usual penchant for going right to the fray.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity My PC would mostly be melee with some backup heals and utility. Definitely not a summoner style.

In such a case I might need consider an alternate role so we haven't too much overlap, @JBRam2002. At this rate, waiting to know more of those joining is perhaps a greater priority. There are a few other classes I haven't had the opportunity to try out as it were. In fact, I could say that for most the game - nothing much experienced beyond 6th level.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity I have included who's planning on playing which character so far in the list above if that helps. ^_^
