[paid][1E] Building a roster for an old school 1E AD&D West Marches Game!

Ah, Spring!&nbsp; Looking for players! #PWYC #oldschool #sandbox #west-marches #1E #AD&amp;D Here is the LFG listing: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/285949/terranova-ad-and-d-west-marches" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/285949/terranova-ad-and-d-west-marches</a> &nbsp; The Guild of Strongfist seeks brave souls who are willing to explore the vast wilderness of Terranova in the name of the Overlord! As Guild members you have been granted access beyond the walls of the City State of Ironclad , to survey and eventually reclaim what is rightfully owed to His Lordship AND in return for accurate maps, expedition journals and&nbsp;guild fees, you will be housed, fed, trained, and may rightfully keep whatever spoils you find! Here is the "how to join" post: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9963218/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9963218/</a> Basically, read the listing, DM me, tell me a bit about yourself and I will send you a join link.&nbsp; The game is PWYC (per participant per session) while we build a roster of adventurers! The first few scheduled sessions will just be character generation (I think batches of 5 or 6 people is manageable). I am LOW TECH and do not like the "turn based video game" experience of most online games. I will be relying primarily on verbal description, simple hand-made maps, and player imagination. Roll20 will be used primarily for die rolling, character sheets, and voice chat.&nbsp; I will be using the three core books plus, Fiend Folio, Monster Manual II, and Deities and Demigods. Sorry, no UA. Do I have house rules? Of course! Ask me in your DM! About me: I'm DM Dean. I've been rolling the dice behind the screen since 1982, my other passions include raising my son, reading, writing, guitars and esoteric recording equipment.&nbsp;&nbsp; Disclaimer : This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of PWYC via PayPal, for each participant&nbsp;for each session (including character creation sessions). Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.

Good morning prospective adventurer! Some New (and background) Information about Terrranova : The first Session Zero will take place on April 26th!!!! DM me to join!&nbsp; 1. I successfully ran this Terranova West Marches campaign back in 2017 with a roster of 11 players. I ran it face-to-face in the Toronto area (using roll20 occasionally when people couldn't all be in the same place at once). The original Terranova was, therefore, not an online-only game.&nbsp; 2. I ran the campaign for about 7 months, but burned out because my players were clamouring to play (I was doing 3 sessions a week!).&nbsp; Players loved it, but it was a lot of work for me. This is why I am making this new iteration PWYC . I feel the monetization of this game (in the form of PWYC "tips") will keep me motivated and committed to keep up the effort of running such an expansive campaign.&nbsp; 3. The original Terranova was run using a free pro-boards forum account. I am giving the roll20 forum a try, but its functionality is limited. Nevertheless, I would like to try to stick to one platform (roll20). We shall see... 4. There are posts "out there" in the world about my campaign on the Dragonsfoot forums. To save you time:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&amp;t=76900" rel="nofollow">https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&amp;t=76900</a> I would advise prospective players to not delve too deep into these post, for they may contain some spoilers about certain locations. That said, I plan on revamping as much of the previously explored parts of the world as possible. 5. I'm old school and will be using my physical books (and physical dice for hidden rolls). That said, I make most rolls "out in the open" including monster attack, damage and reaction rolls... since Terranova is a lot of hex-based sandbox wilderness trekking, I often let the players roll things like wandering encounters (I let the dice fall where they may, play monsters to the best of their ability, but I am rooting for my players to succeed!) 6. PC Death happens! Don't fret! A new PC can be rolled up and please note that in 1E AD&amp;D a low level character will advance faster among a group of higher level characters! So if your level 5 cleric dies, your new level 1 cleric will advance up the ranks pretty quickly and will usually "catch up" before their comrades gain a new level (XP progressions are exponential for a reason).&nbsp; Here is the LFG listing:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/285949/terranova-ad-and-d-west-marches" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/285949/terranova-ad-and-d-west-marches</a> &nbsp;
