I'd like to pick up DMing in my off time when I don't have a game or a session is canceled. My style would be about 60/40 combat/rp and a homebrewed "hardcore sandbox" world. A couple of the things I would like to do; - Everything exists to kill you.. I will personally make, up/down scale monsters to equal or beat your current level - Things like whetstones, mending spells, soap and blacksmiths exist for a reason. You've gone 3 days of nonstop fighting cutting at plate armor with your shortsword, it's going to dull, chip and warp. Slashing will damage leather and cloth, bludgeoning will damage metal armor. Piercing and slashing damage will cause bleeding, you take 5 hits and are covered in blood, you walk into town... - "Sandbox" I find it difficult to imagine a 100% sandbox world that gets anything done. There will be quests and adventures that I will push unto you, but you aren't the only things that exist in the world. There are other adventurers, rumors spread, negative/positive actions may or may not have consequences. - Boatload of homebrew rules, such as shield variants, brutal/fumble charts That being said it's quite a heavy load for a new DM, so I will be running a one-shot of my personal design in order to gain experience. Anybody is free to join from the min-max vet trying to break the game, new players who just want to learn, and RPers. This is my first time running this game, I've tweaked everything to a level that I believe to be difficult but not impossible... Looking to run 4 people only at the moment, basically first come first serve. Requirements; - Microphone - Respect - This is a one-shot I've personally put over 20 hours into to learn the roll20 engine, make maps, characters, story, not your weekly sandbox game with friends where you're killing NPCs for the LOLs. If you can't respect that or the other players who just want to have fun, don't apply. Some mature content. - Patience, there will be newer players, there will be questions. This game will probably run 2-4 hours depending on the group. - 99% your character will die... Characters - Everything is available from the PHB and only the PHB Try to discuss with the group a balanced party, you won't finish with 4 rogues. Roll [[4d6d1]][[4d6d1]][[4d6d1]][[4d6d1]][[4d6d1]][[4d6d1]] twice take whichever one you want or Standard array or 27 point buy You will be 6th level take average+1 HP after level 1 or roll You get 1 magic item between; - A +1 to hit and damage Weapon ( You want a dagger that's all you're getting ) - A +1 AC Armor/Shield ( Anything but half-plate/plate ) - A +1 Ability mod ring ( +1 Wisdom/Charisma/Int modifier only for the sake of spell to hits, damage, and DC ) This is a one-shot... I don't care about; - A fully fleshed background/backstory ( Not saying you can't RP your character or with the group ) - Inventory/gold/encumbrance ( Bare minimum take a few weapons, shield and/or armor 1 health potion and misc things you think you will need rope, mirrors, health kits, thieves tools etc.) - Spell infoboxes... Casting cure wounds? Click the heal box type in 1d8+mod and done ( I do however care about marking concentration spells ) I do need; - Character portrait - Languages Would like to start by at least 8 EST if we get enough people. I think that's everything....
