Swampmuck is the classiest village in at least a twenty four mile radius, boasting the muddiest of fields and proudly representative of one flea-bitten donkey. Located on the northern border of festering swampland where no humanoid creature with any real standards would live, the only reason anyone ever mistakenly travels here is for the annual harvest festival.

You are a commoner who calls Swampmuck home, and your life is about to change forever. This year's harvest festival - home to such amazements as this year's giant vegetable competition and a real life dragonling - is about to be visited by a representative of the Mage's Guild. A representative who's looking to pay some adventurers more money then you've ever heard of. Enough money to make you richer then the richest person you've ever met.

And all he wants help with is testing out some fancy sticks...

▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅▅

Strap in for some weird random nonsense because stuff is about to get =wild=

This is a Commoner's Curse of 300 Wands game set in 5E. For those who don't know, a group of commoners are tasked with testing out a selection of magic wands. Each wand has an entirely random quirk. The aim of the game is to test all the wands and find out what all the quirks are. Simple, right? What could possibly go wrong.

The genre of this game is fantasy Comedy. Any attempt at dark, gritty angsty deliciousness shall be foiled by the random quirks, I assure you. If you're looking for some light-hearted fun and don't mind things going potentially catastrophically awry, this game is for you. Who knows, your characters might live to be fully fledged adventurers!
If you're new to D&D, you're very much welcome to join, however I would highly recommend playing a traditional D&D game as your first experience instead. This is most certainly not that.
Heads up, my commitment to this thread is low and the posting style is free - low casual.
This game is a Sandbox. The world is minimally fleshed out with various points of interest. The high random element to this game and my previous experiences running Commoner's Curse, means my gm style will be more adaptive in nature rather then following a set storyline. In the same vein, I am very happy for players to add their own spin on the world. Just keep me in the loop regarding ideas you have.

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Everyone starts as a Lvl 1 Commoner. Your starting stats are 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 or 12, 10, 10, 10, 10, 8 (not including racial modifiers).
You can be any race you want from any official supplement. Customs will be examined on a case by case basis.
You can have any background you like including picking from custom ones (I recommend it if you're having trouble finding an appropriate Commoner-esque background in the PHB), so long as it makes sense. No Commoner Rocket Scientists I'm afraid.
I usually run with weight, ammo, food and water, ect. but I'm not convinced this game type is suitable for that sort of thing. We will likely start with these things implemented, but it's possible they will get removed if those system seem obsolete for this style of play.

I think I spotted what you were making [ADVENTURE] into, lol. I think I'd like to join.

@Lugia aha, kinda? I got a thing for peasants becoming powerhouses. But no, ADVENTURE should hopefully progress to peasants running settlements. This will devolve into peasants *possibly* destroying the world as we know it.

Either way, should be fun. Glad to have you on board!

@Typical Welcome!!

@Typical@Shovel@Lugia

It's not very pretty, but here's a BBCode character sheet. I figured since the Commoner class is a little different, the information could easily fit in one post. However, if you have a preference for using mythweavers or dicecloud ect, that's still fine! Just remember to include Home information somewhere, though if you miss anything i'll help you correct it anyway.

Feel free to adapt this / pretty it up if you like.

Will this game take place in a homebrew campaign setting or will it be happening in one of the official settings?

Uh, before I start making my application... does anyone have a list and description of the races in the extension books? I only know of the base 5e races, and the homebrew ones, which I'm unsure Mae would allow.

@rush99999 traditional fantasy romp - loose homebrew, tolkienesque races, and a nebulous pantheon. Both the pantheon and races I'm happy for people to put their own spin on, otherwise I'll leave it quite generic. Currently tidying up a map to share.

@Lugia Changeling, Shifter, Warforged, Deep Gnome, Genassi, Goliath, Aasimar, Firbolg, Kenku, Lizardfolk, Triton, Tabaxi, Duegar, Gith, Tortle... You've also got monster races like Bugbear, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kobold, Orc, Yuan-ti - just be aware people might react differently to you. I may have hallucinated Slaad and Bullywug but I swear I played with a really good version of them once.I



You can run a homebrew by me and I'll let you know if I think it'll work. Commoners curse of 300 wands tend to be chaotic anyway so it'd really have to push the boat out to be particularly gamebreaking.

I am very much interested in this!

Two questions;
A.) Could I get a link to the 'commoner' class you are using?
B.) Are we going to be existing members of the community? Ex.: Could I be the town baker? Would people know me as such? Could I own my own local bakery?

@Necroes Sure, the class is under character information as well for future reference.

Yep, you will be existing members of the community, though the player can decide how involved they want to be. I would love players to own premises such as farms, bakeries, ect. in Swampmuck, they can be of either poor or squalid conditions at the start of the game.

@Mae Just a note, I am going to start making my application sometime today, will likely go with either a lizardman, or another kobold, though I did have an idea for a kenku who only knows swear words and phrases surrounding swear words, but then I remembered that I legitimate don't like even typing those out, so... if anyone else wants to pick up that stupid idea, go ahead.

A messy OOC appears! It's like the interest check but it has three tabs instead of one.

@Mae I'm going to withdraw my interest from this RP because of a lack of time. Best of luck though!
