At full Capacity. Thank you for all the interest, no more submissions. Hi there, New DM, planning to start up a Wildemount Campaign soon in early 2023! I'm looking for players who are interested in telling their own story while exploring the themes and problems you'll face in this adventure. This will be a cooperative campaign, that focuses less on the setting of Wildemount (it's just a setting we're using) and more on the journey and development of the players and their characters. If you're interested in a long-term rough and tumble journey, where you want to immerse your character and find out who you'll be in this harsh continent, then I invite you to join us in the world of Exandria. TLDR: Setting and Theme: Set in the continent of Wildemount, in the world/setting of Exandria Campaign Theme/Atmosphere will be more serious. The DM asks that there be more focus on roleplay. Campaign Plan Starting at level 3. Will continue for as long as appropriate, maybe level 20? Campaign will FOCUS on exploring character arcs, as well as exploring the world and the themes described below. There’ll be a central hook as well. Combat is intended to be lethal. Expect party members to go down or die potentially Dialogue for minor NPCs will likely be summarized, rather than playing out an entire conversation. Session Time: Every other Thursday night, 5:30 PST (6:30 MST) Starting early 2023 (January 2023) Character Creation will be described in the section below. If there are any concerns/questions at all, please don’t hesitate to discuss with the DM / Party. “I invite you all to come to Wildemount. Wander the dangerous valleys of Western Wynandir, sail up and down the Menagerie Coast, brave the wastes of Xhorhas’s scarred lands, and explore the ancient secrets in the regions beyond these war-embroiled realms. Follow the paths of the Mighty Nein or blaze your own trail. This is your Wildemount now.” (EGtW) Setting and Theme: Set in the continent of Wildemount, in the world/setting of Exandria Timeline would be after the events of Campaign 2 of CR. Setting and continent will be the same. Characters/figures of interest will be different. Do not expect NPCs/characters from Campaign 2 to appear in this campaign. Campaign Theme/Atmosphere will be more serious Exploring good and evil and what those definitions mean in Wildemount Please respect the setting and the theme/story moments the DM implements Some flexibility is available. Be aware that players can ask for flexibility and feel free to discuss any concerns about the tone. DM asks that there be more focus on roleplay DM will likely challenge the players to roleplay and invest themselves into the story/character more. If there are any concerns, please discuss with the DM Creating your Character: Rolling for Stats: Roll 4d6, drop the lowest and reroll ones. Roll two sets of stats. The player may choose which one to take. Background Feat: At the DMs discretion, the player may take a feat at level 1. The prerequisites are as follows: Feat must be related or tie into the background in some fashion. Sailor Background might take Athlete, or Tavern Brawler Avoid ASI and stronger Combat feats if possible. EX: No GWM / Sharpshooter / War Caster at level 1. The player is encouraged to go for a fun feat, focusing more on trying out a feat they might normally not take rather than picking up a feat that rounds out their build. Race: The player is allowed to select from most races in the source books for D&D 5e. However, Please clear which race you want to select with the DM If you are selecting a certain race, you will likely originate from a certain location, especially if you start on the continent of Wildemount. This may affect aspects and lore of the player’s backstory Discuss with your DM the options and information you’d have available for your race. Class: When selecting your class, please note that some classes may have tie-ins to certain factions and organizations. Please be open and discuss with the DM about what tie-ins your character might have to the continent of Wildemount at large Campaign Plan Campaign will FOCUS on exploring character arcs, as well as exploring the world and the themes described above. There will also be a central hook that the players can follow. No hard time limit for this, but at certain points and moments, events will be set into motion that require action. Combat is intended to be lethal. Expect party members to go down or die potentially Players should expect the possibility of character death (including permadeath). If this style of combat is a concern or becomes an issue that inhibits player enjoyment, please discuss with the table/DM. Dialogue will likely be summarized, rather than playing out an entire conversation. For minor NPCs and information gathering, we’ll give a summary of what is gathered rather than playing out individual dialogue bits. SAFETY TOOLS Please mention any taboo subjects/directions you’d prefer the campaign avoid. Goal is to ensure players are comfortable at the table. Communication! If there are problems and concerns regarding anything (including player/DM behavior), respectfully communicate it with the group. If there are character interactions that concern or are unfun for anyone, please notify and discuss it. Unless players are ok with it, please do not: Steal player items Engage in PVP Red Card / Yellow Card If at any point we get to a scene that becomes uncomfortable for the players, please utilize a red/yellow card system so we can skip the scene or move things along. Red card = hard stop. Not okay with what is happening, please end the scene. Yellow card = soft stop. Not comfortable, please hurry the scene along or tone things down.
