Howdy,
I'm Jaken and I'm looking to start a
Twitch stream Dungeons & Dragons 5 th Edition game,
played in Roll20. The campaign will be streamed in weekly sessions,
and the first campaign will run around 25 sessions, more or less as
is the case with roleplaying games. I'm looking for strong
roleplayers who are not camera-shy.
About Me:
My goal with this stream is to build
myself as my own brand. I've been game-mastering for sixteen
years. I'm in my late twenties and father to a
toddler, with a new kid on the way. I like action and roleplaying equally –
expect mostly story-driven combat with a few filler fights here and
there. I like short, occasional dungeon crawls, as well.
About the Campaign – In General:
Sessions will be weekly and run 4
hours. Players will need to be available 30 minutes prior to start
time in order to double check equipment for the stream. At the
two-hour mark there will be a 10-15 minute break. The system is D&D 5e. The setting
is of my own making. Class restrictions include no clerics
or paladins. As of right now, I am considering allowing the Alchemist
class ( link ),
but beyond that only PHB classes not restricted as before. Some
subclasses may be restricted, but I'm open to all available in the
PHB and Xanathar's. Race restrictions are tentative and
include no tieflings, dragonborn, or any race from Volo's, except
Goliath and Tabaxi. However, if a player and I can work out a good
story for a desired race, including monstrous races, I'm happy to add
them in. No homebrew races.
About the Campaign – Story Specific:
The setting is relatively low-magic. If
you are familiar with the Witcher series, its similar but magic is
less niche and has more exposure to the general populace.
Races in my setting tend to stick to
themselves, though trade flows freely between races that are not
wholly hostile.
The kingdom in which the campaign takes
place is human-centric. This will be an underlying theme, as few if
any of the party will themselves be human. The kingdom itself is in a time of uncertainty, as an empire to the west has vowed to unify all other human
nations under one rule, by force if necessary.
The players will be members of the
Adventurer's Guild, an old, upstanding organization with a beneficial
relationship with its host nation. Player Prerequisites:
Above all else, commitment. This will
be a weekly stream, and I can't run a good show with half a party. If
life happens and you have to miss a session, I need to know in
advance as soon as possible. A clear, functional microphone and as
little background noise as possible. A suitable webcam, and a
willingness to be shown to the world through it. In-depth roleplaying (character voices
are a plus!). Understanding of 5 th
Edition. Due to the nature of this being as much a show as a game, I
can't accept players new to 5 th Edition or roleplaying in
general. Basically, if its your turn, I need you to be ready to act
and know how. We will be using Discord for off-air
communication and Discord, Skype or Google Hangouts (whichever is optimal for video) during live sessions. Basic understanding of these
program isn't prerequisite, but it wouldn't hurt! As this will be live-streamed, I'm only
looking for legal adults.
Potential Questions You May Have:
What day of the week will we play?
That's currently not set in stone. I, personally, am free any day or
time outside of Thursdays or Saturday afternoons.
How many player slots are available?
I'm looking to fill at least four slots, at most five. Currently, I may have filled four slots, but they need to be vetted. I'm still on the fence about adding a fifth.
Can I (we) apply as a group? Yes!
However, no groups bigger than three people at this time.
I stream/run a YouTube channel/make
public appearances for my day job/run an online storefront/etc. Will
there be plugs for the like? Of course! If we have anyone that wants
to plug their own work, than at the end of every session we will do
round-table plugs.
As a player can I stream your game? No.
Assuming this stream gains any kind of traction, I want a unified
viewer base. You may host my stream (and please do!).
As I player may I record your game and
upload it? No, as above.
After this campaign ends, do you have
anything planned? Yes! There is potential to continue this campaign beyond the first story arch,
with the same group of players/characters. Regardless, as I hope to
make this a regular Twitch show, I will be planning my next campaign.
Once you're in the door, I will definitely be looking to keep you
around (so I don't have to do this all over again).
Alright, now that we've got all of that
out of the way: INTERESTED? If so, please PM me and/or reply below
(saves me from having to bump).
