Hello all, I am looking to run a game
of D&D Fifth Edition. This will be an 18+ group, as there will
probably be adult language and content, what with all the blood and
hacking and slashing and such. New players and veterans alike are
welcome, but please know that I will admit up front to not knowing
all of the rules by heart, and I tend to let some rules of the game
slip by if it makes for better story telling, makes sense for the
scenario, or makes the game more fun/interesting. I would also like
to ask anyone who wants to join the game to know what their
characters can and can't do as far as abilities and skills, and that
anyone playing a spellcaster know what their spells do ahead of time.
My timezone is EST (eastern standard
time). My schedule is flexible, but I'd prefer if we could play
Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, sometime around or after noon/12:00
PM. The games will probably last around 2-3 hours, but may run longer
or shorter depending upon how everyone is feeling on that particular
day.
I would like this game to be played with Discord so we can all voice chat as we play. As for the game itself:
This campaign will take place in a
homebrew world I have been crafting over the last few years called
Ha'Tali. I can provide any details and answer any questions you might
have about this world, and if people show interest in joining I'll
type up more beyond what is needed for this tale. In general this
setting is a high fantasy/medieval world, but there are certain
locations which have more advance technology, such as airships,
boats, and carriages powered by elemental magic. And of course there
are much less advances areas where magic is more scarce and the
strong take what they like with brute force.
Characters will begin at level 1. You
can use any of the official D&D 5e books, such as the player's
handbook, Xanthar's Guide, or Volo's Guide, as well as any Unearthed
Arcana published by Wizards of the Coast. I also have a few homebrew
races which will be available upon request.
Players will take up the role of a
member of the Adventurer's Guild, an amalgam of a number of other
guilds which work towards solving the problems of the world. You take
on various missions, such as escorting merchants from one city to the
next, or defeating the bugbear who has taken up residence in the
farmer's barn. You can be a member of another guild as well, such as
the Fighter's Guild or the Huntsman's Guild, and simply take the odd
Adventurer's Guild task now and then for a bit of fun or profit.
The story and world will evolve as the
game goes on. You'll be able to choose from a number of quests and
based on which quest you take, how well you preform the task, and
what the ultimate outcome of the quest is, you will be able to earn
gold and uncover secrets all around you. One quest may end with you
receiving a few gold coins, another may lead to the discovery of a
long dead civilization.
To keep things fair, all characters
will level up at the same time. The only way to fall behind in levels
is if you miss a game somewhere along the line, but then it also
depends on what we do during the games as well. If you happen to miss
a shopping session then no harm done, but if you miss the boss fight
at the end of the dungeon you will fall behind.
Anyone interested on joining the game
can PM me about it or comment on this post. If I see interest I'll
set something up so everyone can share the information about the game
and see who will be in the party.
This game is open to everyone, but a
warning: though I hope I does not happen, if other members of the
group begin to complain to me about a certain player enough I will
ask that player to leave. At that point I will either find a new
player or leave the space open depending upon various factors.
