[LFP][PAID][5E][Wednesday or Friday Evenings][GMT/EST] "The Northern Wilds" Epic Swords & Sorcery Sandbox Campaign!

1624377854

Edited 1642542388
NOTE: This campaign is now being run officially on Wednesdays, Not Fridays. Roll20 does not allow the changing of titles, therefore this note is here to give reference. Thanks! WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN? COLLABORATION: &nbsp;I run three different groups in this world, all running concurrently. This means you're not the only party in this world, which grants opportunity for players to roleplay with different players from other groups, as well as get involved in collaborative storytelling. My world is incredibly rich now after having so many people involve themselves in my world so I'd be incredibly excited to see what new players could bring to the table. Players who leave, retire, or finish adventuring become NPCs in my world, which adds further flare to my stories. SANDBOX: &nbsp;My adventures are typically Sandbox and I find player autonomy very important in my games. Your decisions carry weight in the outcome of the scenarios; I do sometimes run plugin-modules from the 80s and 90s, but typically these modules just add quality and professionalism to an already interesting game. IMMERSION: I do my best as a Dungeon Master to make sure that everything makes sense, that things can weave and overlap and create a concrete story. CUSTOM MAPS: &nbsp;I create most of my battle maps from scratch, which includes shading, hundreds of different items that can make a map feel real. I can make Dungeon Maps, Taverns, Terrain, etc. I typically don't use theatre of the mind often, unless I didn't have that exact thing ready. OPPORTUNITY: As a player, you have the opportunity to change the world. You can buy land, become a nobleman, fight in huge arenas in front of roaring crowds, develop businesses, build a keep. The decision is yours in Heimland! MUSIC: &nbsp;I spend a lot of time adding music to my games, and there is never silence in my games. There is always some form of ambience, or musical orchestra in my games. IMPROV: &nbsp;I enjoy improvising and don't mind players deviating from the story in focus of something else. I think it's always important that players get opportunities to focus on other things, which is why I give my players downtime activities regularly. These can be used to learn languages, train, carouse with NPCs, battle in the arenas, etc. NPC VOICES: &nbsp;I enjoy roleplaying, and I have a pretty solid voice-range that allows me to fill in a lot of different rolls. Additionally, I have a voice modulator that allows me to roleplay as Giants, Dragons, and dozens of other things. GREAT HOMEBREW RULES: &nbsp;I use a handful of Homebrew Rules which better shapes the joint-world we play in. These rules can be discussed when enquiring to join. THE GRAND CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW The story takes place in the wild lands of the North, where brave heroes clash with steel. Our heroes in this case are made up of the Noble Youths of Chieftains, High-Priestesses and Heroes. These children were stripped from their families, and raised in the Southern Lands of Valoria, a vast empire that stretches across the known world. These children were given an education, taught to read and write, given lessons on strategy, cooking, and many more subjects. Now young adults, they have been commanded by their adopted father, the Baron of Ramshead, to return north to their people and bring peace and prosperity to the lands, so they may one day assimilate and join the great empire. They have done much since arriving in Gothia, including gaining the odium of a number of chieftains, including the Angaru and Vistulla tribes. Their story currently has them in the lands of the Rugii where Liv's father became famous. She and the party have just took part in a blood battle, and have been forced to retreat. Perhaps a new adventurer from the lands of Reddit, may come to save the day. OUR HEROES CONSIST OF: EADRIC, &nbsp;third son of the Chieftess of the Chatti Tribe. He is a dashing Fighter Cavalier, who rides a great white stallion into battle with lance in hand. LYV, &nbsp;only child of Great War Hero, Tormund Giantsbane. She is a ferocious Berserker Barbarian, who wields the Mithril Glaive, Aurvandill into battle to wreak havoc on her foes. LEOFRIC, &nbsp;eldest son of the High Priestess of the Chatti Tribe. He is a Swashbuckling Rogue, with expertise in duelling. The northern lands have changed him, but he is still as diplomatic as ever. SHEAMUS, &nbsp;the halfling apprentice of the Archdruid Maccus. Shaemus has travelled from far, here to prove that he and not Maccus' other apprentices, should succeed him as Archdruid. OOC INFORMATION When is the game being played: &nbsp;We play Wednesday Evenings; typically from 5PM EDT until 8-10PM EDT. We are flexible, so we could move things forward or back a bit for a new player or two. How long will this game last for, maximum?: &nbsp;I'd say six months, give or take. After which we will start another campaign will the players who are interested. How far are you in?: &nbsp;Week 24, Level 8.

PLAYER TESTIMONIALS Abdi, Sunday Group - &nbsp;"Sol is an awesome DM, and a good friend. he spends alot of time and effort behind his games. He's legit the best DM i've ever had. :)" Andrew, Saturday Group - "Playing in Sol's game is without a doubt the highlight of my week, He sets the mood with great music and has on multiple occassions given me an adrenaline rush from the excitement of what is happening, his world feels alive and his npcs are top notch, I will be sticking with Sol as my DM for the foreseeable future and I am already excited about the next campaign and this one isn't even over yet. Do yourself a favour and give him a shout, I promise you won't regret it." Brodie, Sunday Group - "Sol's campaigns are so&nbsp;powerfully immersive &nbsp; that the line between my real life in Heimland and this 'earth' is getting really blurry. I keep catching myself daydreaming EVERY DAY about our high-magic setting of 'London', where literally everyone can use 'lightning' power to solve pretty much any problem. Imagine that, Electric wagons, electric cleaning brooms, electric messenger birds, proper crazy stuff. It's becoming a real problem, I keep imagining how to engage with the earth economy at any hour of the day and my in-world wife feels so real at times, I honestly think I hear her telling me she's sick of&nbsp; 'DnD' ,&nbsp; whatever that is..." Daniel, Saturday Group - "Sol is easily the best DM I've had, to date. In addition to what others have written I will say he's great at handling issues, does it with discretion, and keeps it in mind while moving forward. For me, that's a sign of a really cool dude with his head on straight. His application of music is tasteful, and nails the mood perfectly for whatever setting you're in. And besides great, dramatic scenes, he is also able to keep things light and fun as appropriate. The balance is very good, so if the time fits, why not have a sit, and join up?" Abi, Sunday Group - "Sols games have been the highlight of my week for just over 3 years now. Every week i find myself wondering what crazy adventure we will be sent on. Besides the fun adventures and the great group of people you get to play with every week, Sol has a way of creating emmersive storylines and realistic NPCs (With unique voices for each of them). He has a knack for building up a whirlwind of emotions, but in the best possible way. Whilst being intense and emotional, Sols games always have a light and quite frankly, hilarious side. Theres not a session that goes by without encountering an NPC that really tickles your funny bone. Oh, and dont let the ruleset scare you, i once too was weary, but they work incredibly well, making the game that bit better! With emmersive music, maps, engaging storylines and lovable characters i can assure you this game is a must! Join the fun! :P"
Adding some more testimonials soon, if anyone is looking to join this week, now is the right time! Hmu!
Wow we had two great sessions this week; if you guys are looking to join in on the fun next week, reach out to me via discord.
Got a nice group of four playing each week now. Still got a few spots for those interested.
Been awhile since I've posted here. We're pretty happy with 4 players right now; but totally ready to bring in a 5th player if we find a good fit! :)
We've got a session starting in 5 hours. The players are travelling to the biggest merchant city in the Northern Lands, there should be lots to buy and trade. We still have enough time for an eager player to join if they'd like to.
Alright we're starting now. Better luck next week, hahaha.
Still got a slot or tomorrow for anyone interested.
This campaign is getting so good; as well as the other two. We'd love to have a CHA-based spellcaster in the group. Just hmu if ur interested.
I'm running the session right now; you could be playing with us but you're not. Add me on Discord to get in next week!
We've got a big battle next week; if anyone is interested in joining, hmu!
Still looking for a new player to join. The campaign is making solid progress; but we could easily bring a new character in to spice things up.
Tried messaging your discord
I'd recommend adding me if you haven't already. We're about to start the game; so if anyone wants to reach out and see what the game is all about; feel free to.
Still got a spot available for anyone who is interested in finding a new forever home.
Preparing for today's session - If anyone is interested in jumping in to the plot, hmu!
I'm getting ready to run my weekend groups. We've had such a big week so far as our last Wednesday Session was off-the-chain. Probably the best session I've ran for them so far. (they've been doing this campaign for like.. 15 or so weeks now). Feel free to add me to discord if you want to get in on the action.
We got someone. He's making his character tomorrow afternoon. We've only got one slot remaining now for a lucky person. Contact me if interested.
Alrighty. We're making his character pretty soon. Super excited for Wednesday's session! :)
Last call to potentially join the campaign this week - Getting stuff ready now! Contact me via Discord for more information.
Forgot to post last week as we were having too much fun, but we've still got one more slot available for this campaign. After that, all three of my groups will be max capacity.

Getting ready for my session today; still got ONE slot available on Wednesday. Our newest guy has fit in well, he's already engrossed into the story. If you'd like to join us, I've got time to sort out interviews on Monday and possibly Tuesday too. Just let me know!
Another week of D&amp;D finished. Excited for this week coming up; should be really good!
Running a session today, it's a big one. We've had someone drop out recently, so we're looking for someone fresh and new. Come give the campaign a try! :)
The party was ambushed last night by a host of beastmen who have been slaughtering travellers on the road. The party were surrounded after more beastmen arrive to their rear, but despite being outnumbered they pushed the beastmen back and forced them to flee. Really great encounter!
Getting things ready for tomorrow. We're getting to the adventure the party is super excited about!
