If the date and time are no good for you, let me know when is! I may run the scenario again if there's interest.
<a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20180525T18&p1=64" rel="nofollow">https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20180525T18&p1=64</a> I am a GM looking to start a group for an easy one shot (a
game that takes only one session to complete). I plan to host a series of these, and each session should complete a small story or two. This is great for both
beginners and experienced players. I have played and GMed hundreds of
hours of tabletop RPGs, and hosted many one shots on Roll20 as well as
successful months-long campaigns.
The adventure will be run on Roll20, but players will be
invited to join D&D Beyond where I have a Master Tier subscription
that grants access to digital versions of the PHB, MM, SCAG, XGE,
VGM, and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. It also includes their Character
Builder and searchable databases of the spells, items, and monsters.
This game will require payment to the Game Master at a
rate of $5 via PayPal for the one session. Roll20 is not responsible
for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private
arrangements.
Campaign Background
The Death Curse is ravaging the lands of Faerûn. Resurrection
magic no longer has any effect, and those who have been magically
resurrected are withering away and dying once more. By obtaining the
right leverage over a lich, a group of brave Harper agents learned that
the source of the Death Curse lies in dark jungles of Chult.
People with varied aims are flocking to the tropical peninsula from all over
Faerûn. Some seek to help the Chultans in their time of
need, others to profit from well-backed expeditions to the interior. Meanwhile, dark forces are using this as an opportunity to seize power.
By ship or by magic, your party has arrived at the only
metropolis left standing: Port Nyanzaru. Seek out wealth, fame, power,
and maybe even carve a name for yourself in the history books.
Campaign Features
The adventure is built around city exploration and working to
help out the local inhabitants. It's a healthy mix of combat,
exploration, and role-playing. I expect the session should take about 4
hours. This adventure will be run as part of the Adventurers League
(AL). If you've never played AL before, there's the D&D Adventurers League Player's Pack ,
but basically you can just fill out a sheet at the end of the session
that tracks your progress if you want to play more D&D in the
organized play system.
If you've never played D&D 5e before, checkout this video series: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoW2CDgztKY&list=PLJmFJXf3BXjwXkNFo_-iwtHb24AuJcXqx" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoW2CDgztKY&list=PLJmFJXf3BXjwXkNFo_-iwtHb24AuJcXqx</a>
The Basic Rules for D&D 5e contain all the rules you need to get started for free: <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules</a>
Read the Introduction and Chapters 7-10 (29 pages in total).
Character Creation
The adventure is for 1st-4th level characters. If you are new
to AL, you start at level 1. If you've never made a D&D 5e
character before, pre-generated character sheets are recommended and available at <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/character_sheets" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/character_sheets</a>
Pick any of the 16 and use the 1st-level sheet.
Characters should be created based on the AL rules: point
buy, no rolled starting wealth, PHB+1 rule. All official AL options are
available. In AL, before you hit level 5 you can rebuild your character between sessions and change anything about it. So you don't have to feel locked in to your choices when starting out.
If you are making a custom character, I have all the player
options on D&D Beyond and can share them with the players. This
includes use of the D&D Beyond character builder and the full text
of the books. Alternatively, I recommend OrcPub2,
CharForge, ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator , or MPMB.

Why paid GMing?
Defray the content costs. I'm hoping to use the money to buy some Marketplace content on Roll20 and more RPG materials. Prevent flakes. Players (and GMs) are far more likely to show up and be on time if there's payment involved. It takes a lot of extra time to GM. I spend about 2 hours
per game-hour prepping. Reading the adventure, taking notes,
cross-referencing rules, finding and making tokens, finding and making
maps, setting them up in Roll20, adding NPCs to Roll20, going over
character sheets, and organizing the session all takes a lot of time
outside the game. It's part of the hobby, but as I'm having to put in
prep time I'd rather not have to spend so much on the content costs too. LFG Listing
