[LFP] [PAID] [5E] [Online] [Fridays] [CET/GMT+1] Adventures of the Sword Coast

CLOSED 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 5 players, we recently had a player leave, so looking for someone to fill the vacant spot. We are currently 50 sessions in and have not missed a single session since our start back in January last year (coming up on the groups anniversary). Link to Roll20 listing About me I am a 27-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) I currently run multiple groups a week and would consider myself a professional DM, I am very thankful that im able to supplement my student income by doing something that brings happiness to others. The current groups I got running, have been going on for 9 months+ now, so im very familiar at running long games, where you can really get a chance to dive down into the world with your character. About my games The campaigns and stories I run 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, I do pride myself on the stability and consistency of my groups. I employ professional made battle maps, area maps and other supporting art, so there will always be something for your eye to explore while the game is on. I use plenty of ambience and thematical music throughout the session to improve the feel and bring you into the story. 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: The current story arc is taking place right in the midst of danger, a huge horde of Hobgoblins, Fiends, Undead and Dragons are threatening the Elsir Vale an otherwise peaceful place located a considerable bit inland to the east from the Swordcoast. Here the party are trying to save The Vale by travelling around gathering allies and thwarting the enemies plans. They are currently finding themselves deep into the desolate wasteland called the Thornwastes, where they are trying to track down the location of a Liches Lair, to either return its phylactery or to destroy it, an item of great evil which they previously came into contact with finding it being guarded by a Dragon allied with the Horde of Hobgoblins. This current story is a classic good vs evil story medieval fantasy story, where the "players" are all part of a grander scheme of things going on in the world. Due to the current story in progress, I would then work well to make your character fit into the story and weave you into the overarching plot in a satisfying way, so that you may feel personally invested in the goings-on of the world. Quick details Schedule: Weekly, Thursday’s at 8:00 PM CEST/GMT+2 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: 8 Finishing Level: level 11 (with a continuation module taking you to level 18) Maximum Group Size: 6 players (aiming for 5) We will use roll20 Discord server for you players as a group and connection in and out of game Voice only required 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 This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of 10€ through Paypal or Revolut in advance of each session. 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 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. Disclaimer: This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $10 through paypal or revolut, ahead of each session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.   Character creation You can go with two ways of doing this, 27 Point buy or roll using the 3 ups - 3 down method. (I allow for stats to be generated between 6 and 16) I use these ways of generating ability points as it guarantees a balanced starting point for that party. 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 reality. I would recommend that if you have a character in mind, it would be beneficial to create the character to fit the world, rather than expecting the world to fit your character. 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. As this group is coming up on its year anniversary it only has two of the original players the started last January, all the players are open-minded and friendly as well, and they quickly accept new people into the group.   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 levelling, 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 you're 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 character's 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 you're 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 one's fun comes at the expense of someone else's.   Application If you’re interested in joining then you may use the following template and reply in the comments below, or send me a private message.
