LFG Listing for this game - Click HERE I’m Jason and I hope you’ll consider joining me and a few other enthusiastic players for some D&D adventure! Saturday (three-hour sessions): 1PM Pacific Time/4PM Eastern Official 5e module TYRANNY OF DRAGONS, which is the combined modules Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat. The character level for these will go from 1 st level to about 15 th level. This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $20 per three-hour session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. These games are pay-to-play, priced at $20/session, though there are discounts for early signups and/or referrals. For now, all games are scheduled for Saturday. Not all games may fill, so players who are flexible may be able to shift to a game that is in need and games with less flexibility may be recipients of said players. I hope you’ll consider the following in choosing my table: I’m a good speaker/storyteller. No formal training in theatre or debate, but I’ve always been good at thinking on my feet and spinning an entertaining yarn and have public speaking experience. I’m good with tech and know the Roll20 platform. I work in tech, have multiple screens to help manage the game data, and can access what is needed without disrupting the flow of the story’s narrative. I’m good with D&D 5E, I know the system inside and out and won’t slow the game down with referencing rules’ mechanical application or general information on the lore. I’m committed to the player experience. Fun is the word. This means an environment that is safe, entertaining, with difficulty that finds the balance between boredom and frustration, and rulings that are fair, neither pandering nor punitive. Game Culture: We’re initially aiming at a kind of PG-13 rating for content. If it turns out that the group is all adults and tends toward profanity and/or bawdy humour, that’s fine. But, let’s see if we need younger folks to fill the game and keep it appropriate for them, at least initially. All demographics should feel welcome, so no hate speech or prejudice based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, or similar personal characteristics will be tolerated. In the context of the game, there will be violence, even killing, and PCs might be taken prisoner. However, there won’t be highly visible, persistent enslavement of people, graphic depictions of torture, sexual assault, or similarly egregious atrocities. There also won’t be excessively sexual roleplay. Not shaming anyone, just leaving that for GMs that are enthusiastic about that kind of thing. We’ll use an x-card mechanic if anyone feels the game content is distressing and we’ll see if we can find a solution. We don’t want to cramp anyone’s style or fun, but don’t want to inadvertently traumatize anyone either. Game Mechanics: Published adventures will be from 5e sources. Official 5e content is available to players as is Unearthed Arcana (technically play-test content, but somewhat official). Homebrew will be minimal. I’m open to it, but let’s ease into it. Much HB is outrageously overpowered. Technically, feats and multiclassing are optional rules, but they are allowed. I like to give a little goose to player power to spice things up, so an AGI/Feat will be available in addition to normal point-buy character creation to make your heroes a little more heroic. Adjudicating edge-cases, unusual situations, or rule interpretations will focus on keeping the game flowing. Though I’m very familiar with the ruleset, even if I make a bad ruling, we can discuss post-game and we’ll know better for next time. No permanent damage is done. Even a TPK isn’t permanent damage . . . I can always rule that the party is NOT dead, something something Deux ex Machina. What I don’t want is a debate on rules interpretation consuming half an hour of paid-for play time. You pay to play, not listen to a rules arbitration. Trust me to do right by you and your character and let’s keep the action moving. Payment and DISCOUNTS: In general, sessions are $20 for three hours (though they may run long, no additional payment is needed). Venmo, Zelle, Cashapp, and Paypal are acceptable. Payment due before game in question. There are a few discounts available. The first game to fill up will have a $5 discount for all players. The first player in a game slot will have a $5 discount (based on when payment is received, not promised). If you refer a player, you will get a $5 discount effective upon their payment. These are cumulative and per-session. For example, the first player to pay in the first game to fill could refer two players and play for free. Session Zero is free, an introduction for the players and maybe also the characters in-game. You should at least come with a strong character concept, though I can work asynchronously via Discord or message board for character creation before the session. It’s also to make sure tech is working and Discord /Roll20 is cooperating. No strict absence policy is enforced. Just try to give as much notice as possible and keep absences to a minimum. If the party is short because of repeated absences, I will let other players in and people who are habitually absent may find the table too full when/if they return. If life happens and you need to change tables due to scheduling or take an extended absence, just communicate with me and we’ll work out what we can. Application: Please post your interest below. Be sure to indicate which session you are interested in. If you'd like to openly share a character concept, build, backstory or anything else, feel welcome. If you prefer a public reveal in the context of the game, that is fine, too. But, do make contact with me so you can be added to the Discord server and I can approve characters before play. Also, any questions about the games can be posted in this thread so anyone with a similar concern can see the answer.
