Hi! I put up a thread looking for a game as a player, but I figured I may as well stick to being a forever-DM for now if I can drum up some interest in my ideal campaign: a Wildemount/Tal'dorei campaign! I'm mostly gauging interest right now but if I get enough interest I'll put up a LFG listing properly tonight sometime. This would be set in a time around the start of Critical Role's campaign two, but with the major difference that the Mighty Nein didn't make it out of Trostenwald. In other words, they're a tiny footnote in the grand scheme of things and don't factor in to this campaign at all, despite the campaign occurring in approximately the same timeframe to begin with, if that makes sense! The story will involve some elements of the war but the course of the campaign will be hugely dictated by what my players want to play around with. To begin with, the campaign will be starting in the Menagerie Coast area. What you do and where you go is open ended, though in session 0 we'll figure out what you guys as players want to play and I'll do my best to make that happen! This wouldn't be a paid campaign. I'll accept tips through Ko-Fi or PayPal, but they won't be compulsory or expected. (I'm obligated to say that Roll20 has nothing to do with any payments and I'm not affiliated with them, etc.) Any tips will go to paying for Pro first off, then toward paying for improving my compendium, then to other marketplace and/or DMsGuild purchases for the game. The more tips I get, the better the resources and so on, but I will be putting some of my own cash into this as well of course! I believe in Rule of Cool over RAW, though I recognise that rules have their rightful place and are important a lot of the time too. I allow crits on skill rolls, but only up to a point. No amount of nat. 20's will stop you from taking a lot of damage from a 100ft fall, for example. It'd be point buy, or standard array. Roleplay heavy campaigns are my thing. I enjoy running puzzles and combat but roleplay is where I've been told I shine as a DM, and getting into the lore is something I love. As for myself, I'm a DM with 13 years playing experience and about 10 years DMing experience in D&D, Pathfinder, and various other systems. I'm a 28 year old lesbian whose games are absolutely always accepting of everything except intolerance and bigotry. I'm English, and live in the UK. I'm light hearted and, I like to think anyway, a fun DM. I may not always be Mercer levels of smooth and cool, (I cannot do any accents except for some British accents for example,) but I try my best and I'm always accommodating of new and less experienced players. Is there demand for Wildemount campaigns on here? Would anyone like to be a player in this kind of campaign? I didn't see many Wildemount campaigns in the LFG listings, so just wondering if that's due to no one wanting them or them filling up really fast! If there's enough interest, I'll throw a LFG listing up tonight for a game and start taking applications! Feel free to pre-emptively PM me if you don't want to comment here as well.
