LFP - D&D 3.5 - DM Extraordinaire - Home Brew [Paid] - Cause and Effect - Sunday 3-9 pm MT (Canada) Three Seats Open - 6th Level Game

Allow me to introduce myself… I’m John, DM extraordinaire (over 40,000 hours on R20). Feel free to check out my profile here. Jump to the juice and just email me -&nbsp; <a href="mailto:taibhsear71@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">taibhsear71@gmail.com</a> Or Discord if you prefer taibhsear #7908 I’ll give you a quick summary. I’m 52 and from Canada (Toronto originally but don’t hold that against me). I’ve been DMing since October 1991. I run D&amp;D 3.5 exclusively. Seriously, you can’t even pay me to play 5e anymore. I’ve run dozens of campaigns and games over the years and still love it. The vast majority of my content is homebrew and unique to my game although I have borrowed from many sources over the years. Cause and Effect &nbsp;-&nbsp; &nbsp;This is an elven campaign that began before the Second Great Goblin War. The first chapter is about the party getting to know the area and doing some light-hearted adventuring before the war breaks out. Then Marathas is plunged into a struggle for its very existence. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bQnkBJgjb0&amp;list=PL_r6JrdKPLFWn-z-HhAvhzQ2n5kMXu_gy" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bQnkBJgjb0&amp;list=PL_r6JrdKPLFWn-z-HhAvhzQ2n5kMXu_gy</a> The Setting Depending on which game you join you may be in any one of many areas of Thera (the world). Most of my games have taken place in Multras, the primary human continent. Multras is split into five portions (east, west, north, south, and central) each with its own trade language (eastern common, western common, northern common, southern common, and central common), kingdoms, and empires. Some of these kingdoms resemble medieval European countries like France and Germany, and some are completely unique, like the Banite Theocracy of Kallum but they all have their own language and culture. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/352293/cause-and-effect" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/352293/cause-and-effect</a> Your Game &nbsp;- If you have an idea for a game and a group interested in playing, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. I run for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 8. I prefer no more frequently than weekly but depending on the campaign I might be able to do it twice a week. I’m open to anything from slapstick Monty Hall farce to hardcore intense RP. I’ve done it all and I don’t care which style you like. We play to have fun. Some people like fart jokes and shaving dwarves’ beards while they are passed out while others wish to build a rich history and become a cannon feature of the world. Spoiler: There are a lot of cannon PCs both mine and other players in my world and I consult these players when you interact with their characters so you have no idea what’s coming down the line. Expectations &nbsp; I run open, sandbox, player-centric original content games. The main theme is established, and the story is there, but these are elements the players choose to engage and I let the players write their own tales. I'm indifferent about the outcome, which seems to surprise a lot of players. I don't care how the story unfolds, although I try to make the most dramatic things happen, the dice and the players' action are the final arbiters. On that note, I roll everything openly. Secret checks are only rolled by players if they wish to conceal an action or outcome. Some of my games are based on themes and ideas I’ve come up with and others are picked by the players. I play many different styles of games. I’m open to basically anything. If you have an idea for a campaign don’t be afraid to present it. I make most of my own maps when I have time and make custom tokens for each player. I detail my loot with the players in mind. I roll randomly but I like juicy drops so I’m often inclined to pick the next thing on the table if it looks sweet. &nbsp; Rates &nbsp; Most games will be $20 (minimum) per session but games with fewer players (less than 5), longer games (6+ hours), and higher-level games will have increased costs. $4 per hour&nbsp; (with a group of 5) &nbsp; of gameplay (5th-9th level). $5 per hour&nbsp; (with a group of 5) &nbsp; of gameplay (10th-14th level). $6 per hour&nbsp; (with a group of 5) &nbsp; of gameplay (15th-19th). $7 per hour&nbsp; (with a group of 5) &nbsp; of gameplay (20th+). My games have no level limit and we continue on as long as the players wish to play. The highest we’ve made it to is 22nd level. While the PE game is only 14th level, they are already talking about epic level stuff (20+) and post-epic stuff (30+). I have rules for both despite never really getting that high with players. Payment is made via PayPal. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. My noob game is free to play if you want to try it out and meet some of the other players. I can also run a session zero if you have a group and want to do a one-shot. Getting Started Before you contact me make sure: You are 18 or over. You’re willing to play D&amp;D for 4+ hours a week. You own a microphone of decent quality. You have Roll20 account. You have Discord account.

Kilo, Joe's elven barbarian. Yes, it's as weird as it sounds.

Samatha "Sky" MacKeller is/was the main character of this campaign as it is her quest to protect the sacred stand of trees in Marathas that drives the plot from this point forward.

Their meeting with Marshal Renafel Feranes did not go well but they are not giving up. They will seek out other allies in the meantime.

Although I made this token for Jagat for his elven ranger archer, it seems to get reused for a lot of things.

House Van Dune (Waukeen) &nbsp; Revenue: One of the oldest families in Myska, the Van Dunes can trace their lineage back to the founding of Myskon City and the royal court. Until quite recently, the Van Dunes were in textiles, mostly silks, although they started out dealing in simple agricultural products of their land (milk, beef, pork, wheat, and barley). They were a small but proud house until about 4 decades ago they branched out into silkworm farming. The house was on the rise from this most profitable venture and was beginning to integrate farming, processing, and manufacturing into one huge supply chain. They were expected to outpace all the other counts and start to rival some dukes in the coming decades before misfortune struck the family. In what seemed to be an illicit deal gone wrong, the count and the countess were killed. Their two oldest children Bernard and Dana are believed to have died as well, although Bernard’s face was beaten beyond recognition and Dana's body was never identified among the fallen. &nbsp; Count Beryl (51/61)

The Stallion of Interest is a rearing stallion, carved from white marble, accented in obsidian, and awarded to the finest rider in the Black Knight Equestrian Tournament Marvion City every harvest. Each one is engraved with the year it was awarded. &nbsp; This one was awarded to Count Beryl Van Dune the year his second son was born. It was the only year he defeated Johann Munchdirger in the tournament. This was quite the sore spot for Johann who was undefeated for almost a decade before his terrible showing at this event. He went on to win the tournament five more times before retiring from the event. &nbsp; After the fall of House Van Dune, their estate was auctioned off and Anton Rodemus became the new owner of the sculpture as it was sold with the castle. Anton often mocked Johann about having his missing trophy so when Anton was forced to sell off some of his assets at a local action, Olaf dove at the opportunity to pick up the prestigious trophy for a bargain price at the sale. &nbsp; Unknown to everyone, Bernard Van Dune (believed to be deceased) heard about the auction and attempted to outbid Olaf but he couldn’t beat Olaf’s bid of 950gp for the trophy. Infuriated about losing the sculpture, Bernard turned to the church of Mask to acquire the sentimental item on his behalf. &nbsp; Unknown to the party, they have been hired by their older brother to recover the sculpture and they are quite conflicted about turning over their father’s prized trophy to some random collector.
