Hi there! My name is Josh A.K.A. Bloodybones, 44, he/him. I’ve been playing D&D since the 1980’s, with the old boxed sets and 2nd Edition AD&D. I’ve been playing 5e for about a year now, and have started DMing for the first time. It’s been a lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to more! I also play a lot of video games. I’m finishing up Ghost of Tsushima and Persona 5 right now. I played WoW for years. My favorite games though, are probably the FromSoft games, especially Bloodborne. I also read a crap-ton of fantasy and I’m a huge Malazan/Steven Erickson stan. So don’t be surprised at influences or references to either! My group is currently running Phandelver, and they are just about done. It should be about 2-3 more sessions. After that, we are moving on to Curse of Strahd. Sessions will be on Monday nights 7:30-11:00 PM EDT. I’m thinking Session Zero will be on Sept 21, but it depends on when we finish up Phandelver. We currently have 2 players and I am looking for only 1-2 more. I’m looking to keep it to a 3-4 PC group. As I said, I’m a pretty new DM, I want to keep the party to a reasonable size. Also, I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the rules, I have a tendency to play a little fast and loose with them, to keep things moving. I’m still learning here. So if I find out afterward I ruled on something wrong, I will be sure to rule on it correctly in the following sessions. As far as general campaign goes: • Characters Start at Level 3 • Any Official Race/Class/Background. UA/Homebrew on a case-by-case basis. On Roll20, I have access to the races/classes the PHB, Xanathar’s, Volo’s and Eberron. If you want to create something from another book, it will be up to you to integrate it into your character sheet. • A character backstory is important, so I can incorporate it into the story. It doesn’t have to be super detailed for now. Just a paragraph or so is fine and we will work on it further. If you do have something more detailed, try to keep it to like 1-2 pages max. • Players start near Daggerford in Faerun. The basic premise is: You have each had a lucid dream. In that dream, you were visited by a mysterious figure. This figure promised to aid you in some way with *insert something important from your character’s background*. It advises you that you can find the answers you seek with Madame Eva at the Vistani Carnival that is making its way to Daggerford. When you wake up, a single tarroka card is laying on your chest. • I don’t really do alignment. Roleplay your character as you see fit. That being said, try and create a character that wants to adventure or at least has a reason to, even if reluctantly, and that they can work with the party. • This module can get pretty dark, there may be descriptions of gore and body horror. If anything makes any player uncomfortable, we can talk about how to address or avoid it. But the fact is there is a lot of things in this campaign that are dark and bloody and evil, so fair warning. • That being said, rape is a big NO as far as I’m concerned. It won’t be depicted in my games and it won’t be tolerated from my players. Most important rule.: This is an inclusive group. I support the BLM movement and POC. I support LGBTQ rights. I support the rights of players with disabilities. Any sort or racism, sexism, ableism or any discrimination for any marginalized group based on sexual orientation or sexuality will NOT BE TOLLERATED. We use the Roll20 tabletop & Discord for voice. The current group is: Life Cleric ????
