This game will require
payment to the Game Master at a rate of 10$ through Paypal or Revolut in
advance of each session.
Currently have 1 spot open for this campaign This
campaign is currently running weekly with 4 players, we recently had a
player leave, so looking for someone to fill the vacant spot. We are currently 5 sessions in.
Your hired by your good friend Gundren Rockseeker to
escort a wagon of mining supplies from the City of Neverwinter to the
frontier town of Phandalin, you have been offered a good 10 gold coins
for this job, and promise of further work once you arrive in Phandalin.
Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his
reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found
"something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for
escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in
Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior
escort named Sildar Hallwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to
"take care of business." About the game
The campaigns and stories are well suited for people completely new to
DnD, I have had great success in the past introducing new players to
DnD. The campaigns are also well suited to veterans that are looking for
a stable group to play with weekly. The first campaign will be a
pre-made adventure with a slight spin on it from myself and then
followed up by a larger and more expansive adventure where the players
really will get to be put through their paces. In the very long run,
there are plenty of possibilities for the party, or the characters
themselves to get castles, keeps or other home bases. For this we will
use the book by Matt Colville “Strongholds and Followers”
Even though these are premade adventures then I only use it as a
framework from which I add a lot of my own spin to the story, and flesh
out many areas in greater detail, so every place and every person you
encounter will feel like a living person in the world. Even if you know
the adventure at hand, then you can expect many hidden plots and
expansive elements added to the story. This adventure will
take you from levels 1 - 5 and if the chemistry is right and the group
wants too, I got an add-on ready for this campaign taking you from
levels 5 - 10+ This will then make the campaign a very long-running one
(multiple months’ worth), with plenty of room for individual character
growth and for the party to grow together.
Schedule: Weekly, Friday’s at 8:00 PM GMT+1 Game Length: Minimum of 3 hours per session, with the possibility of running longer if the group desires and I’m able to (often are).
This campaign is expected to take several months to complete. As is the
structure of a D&D game, consistency and attendance are held in
high regard and of great importance, you should be able to attend most
sessions for this time period. (However if some players are unable to
attend we will work together to make it work, often a weekly session
will still happen.) Starting Level: 1 Finishing Level: 5+ with an add-on to level 10+ Maximum Group Size: 6 players (aiming for 5)
About me
Hello there! I am a 26 year old, Dane who loves all things fantasy. In
the last few years, I have completely fallen for D&D, ever since I
saw the very first session of Critical Role. I enjoy running games and
creating a fun experience for my players. I endeavour to create the best
experience for all my players and to deliver a great engrossing story
for them to explore. I take great inspiration from Matt Colville and I
like to run my games and campaigns by the rule of cool, if you have
something you would like to do, then we’ll make it work (within reason
of cause).
Details
We will use roll20 Discord server for you players as a group and connection in and out of game Voice only required You will get access to a shared Google doc with useful resources connected to the game
How i run the game
The aim of the game is for all involved to have fun. This never comes
at the expense of someone else’s, so my main focus point when running
the game will always be to ensure everyone leaves at the end of a
session feeling satisfied. I usually communicate with players between
sessions, to judge the feeling for the campaign, and to gather feedback
etc.
The rule of cool
I am a firm believer in the rule of cool and generally quite relaxed
and open about going slightly outside the book rules. However, the rule
of thumb is to assume the book rules take president unless we have
spoken and agreed otherwise. “I follow the rules when they make sense,
sometimes rules are made to be broken”.
About the price
Session 0 and session 1 will be free, to allow you as a group and players to get a feel for how I DM and run the game.
Why pay?
Running a game takes a lot of planning and out of sessions effort, I
also invest a lot of what I might earn back into the campaigns, buying
professional maps, and images, Roll20 subscription etc.
Paying also ensures that you guys will be in for quality and that I will never cancel a session etc.
In my experience with paid games players are also a lot more invested and this allows for a greater gameplay experience.
Payment
Payment will be made through Paypal or Revolut. Whichever service you
find easiest, Revolut has no transfer fees, so i would suggest using
this one. You can pay weekly or pay monthly.
Character creation
You can go with two ways of doing this, (Point buy) or roll using the 3 ups - 3 down method
I also have a few premade characters that would weave into the story
in different ways, this can be explored if you want to use them, or
maybe take inspiration from their backstories to make something of your
own.
I like to work player characters into the story in some way, down the
road or right from the start. So when creating your character I like to
be involved and work with you to make your dreams and the story you
wish to explore a reality.
Further details about character creation will be discussed prior to the game.
What players to expect
You might very well expect players of the same calibre and frame of
mind as yourself, as I aim to get a group with the same ideals and wants
from the campaign. So there will be a bit of an interview process to
guarantee the best player chemistry.
I have had great success in the past doing this, and managed to get good group chemistries.
Homebrew rules
Potions: Using a Potion of Healing on yourself is a bonus action, whereas using it on others is an action. Health: You will roll for HP upon leveling, however, if you roll
below the average, you may take the average instead. *your rolling to
try and get above the average* Death Save: Death Saves will be rolled by the DM and private
messaged to the unconscious player. This is to avoid metagame knowledge
and introduce a sense of urgency. Being knocked unconscious: First time in combat is normal rules, 2nd
time your knocked out on the same day, you will take a point of
exhaustion, 3rd time another point and so on. This is an attempt to
portray that stress that is put upon the characters body through traumas
of being knocked out. Flanking: Flanking will not give advantage on attacks, but instead
be a +2 to your attack roll, you will get a +1 if your not directly
opposite your ally, opening up a larger flanking angle. Other house rules will be discussed as the game goes on and when they become relevant.
General rules of conduct
Please try to design a character that will be able to work as a team
and function with the rest of the party. (no edgy characters) If a player is abusive or discriminatory towards another player or
myself, they will be promptly removed from the game. This is to ensure
everyone plays in a fun environment. There is a zero tolerance policy
for this kind of behaviour. The game is about having fun, if you feel you’re not having as much
as you would want, talk to me and we might be able to change things for
the better. I make a big point out of talking to my players between
sessions, and adjusting the game accordingly to the feedback. Please respect your fellow players and your DM. I would ask that
everyone acts friendly towards one another and gives others an equal
chance to share the spotlight. No ones fun comes at the expense of someone elses.
