*NEW* - Candlekeep Mysteries - Official D&D hardcover campaign! Friday 9:00 PM PDT - Beginners Welcome! [LFP][D&D][5e][Paid]

*NEW* - Candlekeep Mysteries - Official D&amp;D hardcover campaign! Friday 9:00 PM PDT - Beginners Welcome! *NEW* - Candlekeep Mysteries - Official D&amp;D hardcover campaign! Friday 9:00 PM PDT - Beginners Welcome! A mystery-themed adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game. Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths. Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them. Many of these books contain their own mysteries—each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold? Great Books Hide Their Secrets Well...&nbsp; The world of Forgotten Realms is one of high fantasy, populated by elves, dwarves, halflings, humans, and other folk. Steel-hearted adventurers from backcountry farmsteads and sleepy villages follow tales that take them to strange, glorious, faraway places. Good maps and clear trails can carry inexperienced youths with dreams of glory far across the world, but these paths are never safe. Traveling throughout the Realms invites the perils of fell magic and deadly monsters. Farms and freeholds within a day’s walk of a city might fall prey to monsters, and no place is safe from the sudden wrath of a dragon. Details about the history and nature of the Realms fill volumes, and much of that knowledge resides in books and scrolls sealed in Candlekeep’s vaults. Each one is the key to a door behind which danger and glory await. Here are just a few of the mysterious titles that brave adventurers can explore at Candlekeep: Book of the Raven A treasure map tucked inside this volume beckons readers to a remote hilltop chalet occupied by a secret society. Zikran's Zephyrean Tome A trapped djinni offers a wish spell to anyone who finds a way to release him. Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme A catchy and contagious rhyme traces back to a sinister clockwork book. Alkazaar's Appendix Chronicles an unsolved mystery about a wandering stone golem in the desert. The Curious Tale of Wisteria Vale Holds the key to unlocking a bard’s prison. The Book of Inner Alchemy A search for the missing pages of this tome might put you in conflict with the powerful Monks of the Immortal Lotus. Game Details Campaign:&nbsp; Candlekeep Mysteries (Forgotten Realms) Date:&nbsp; Weekly sessions every Friday Time:&nbsp; 9:00 PM PDT Place:&nbsp; Virtual tabletop on Roll20, voice chat on Discord Duration:&nbsp; Sessions last 3-4 hours Payment: &nbsp;$15 per player per session via PayPal Roll20's required payment disclaimer: "This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $15 per session via PayPal. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements." Why Pay to Play? Practically everyone is clamoring to get into a free game online, but there aren't nearly enough experienced DMs to satisfy the demand. Most people endure disappointing experiences like this: After spending your valuable time laboriously filling out applications, you get rejected more often than not due to the scores of people applying to play each free game. When you do get accepted, players don't show up or are unprepared. Sometimes the DM doesn't show up or is unprepared. It's a frustrating grind to go through time after time, especially when all you want to do is relax and have fun playing. Here are some of the reasons why professionally-run paid games provide a superior experience: Charging a modest per-person fee virtually eliminates player no-shows. The small fee also ensures that everyone in the group is committed to the session. The maturity level is exponentially higher in paid games. People don't abandon the group and quit the campaign when something doesn't go their way. The gaming experience provided by a professional DM is eminently more enjoyable than what you get in a free game. Material costs associated with running a top-shelf game are covered. Roll20 charges fees for the token, map, and card collections associated with each module, while the actual hardcover books and DM Guild downloads must be purchased separately.&nbsp; The DM's Roll20 Pro membership ensures that players have access to all of the extras, including D&amp;D 5e Compendium integration, API scripts, and more. Custom-designed tokens for your characters are included. Extra help for beginners at no charge. An immersive experience that includes advanced role-play techniques, effects, and completely original game materials that aren't available anywhere else. About the Dungeon Master I've been running Dungeons and Dragons games for decades. I take my time customizing each adventure with story lines and subplots that aren't found in the officially published material. As a result, even people who have read the material or previously played or run it will enjoy a unique experience that isn't found anywhere else. My game preparation is unparalleled. I read and familiarize myself with every detail about a campaign before we even play the first session. Then I review key points before each subsequent session, all while interweaving character backstories into the written material. Wizard of the Coast's rule master Jeremy Crawford encourages people to play D&amp;D with RAF (Rules As Fun) in mind. So don't be surprised if we place RAF over RAW (Rules As Written). Creativity is always appreciated and rewarded. Role-playing is encouraged, but isn't required. Beginners are encouraged to apply, and will be welcomed into our gaming family with open arms. Job one for me as DM is to ensure that every single player at the table has a good time. I take that responsibility very seriously. So if you play through a campaign with me, it will be a fun experience that you will remember and cherish well after it's over. What's more, I don't do this alone. I'm proud to lead a team of dedicated and hard-working Game Masters (GM's) who help run the sessions. Players often have access to both myself and a GM for help with things like character creation, backstory development, and mechanical Q &amp; A. My team works together to provide a wonderful ongoing experience to every participating player. Character Creation Characters begin the adventure at Level 1 and play continues on a weekly basis until the book has been completed. If you have little or no experience playing D&amp;D online, don't worry. I can help you with your character creation prior to the first session upon request at no additional charge. I can also provide ongoing help as you progress.
