Welcome to the Mystery of Neverwinter woods! I am a long-time player & DM looking for a new group of players (max 4 more) interested in a long campaign. This campaign will be divided into three(ish) three-month segments, allowing players the option to play one or more if they like. Obviously, players interested in the full campaign are appreciated but those wishing only for a three-month campaign are welcome to play for a few months! Timeframe: Every other Sunday 4 - 9 PM CST with discord text-based adventure in between to keep the game rolling between games. Game type: 5E with some modified rules (harsher penalty for falling unconscious, additional critical fail(s)/success(s) ) This game would be mainly in person every other weekend, with minor adventures for individuals between games in the form of a text-based theatre of the mind. The focus would be to have the whole party involved during the live sessions and minor individual-based adventures/shopping/lines of questioning in text-based adventures between games. This would hopefully keep the game flowing at a fun pace perpetually. The story is homebrew but not my first time running it, and others have rated it 10/10 dogecoins. The starting level is 1, which will jump to three during the first actual session, there will be a short one-shot to answer any questions you may have and give you the first piece of the mystery! Game Format: Roll20 for maps/battles, discord for voice chat and between games text-based adventures. World: Faerün, current timeframe, slight to major differences in the world. The majority of the world would be based in and around Neverwinter Woods. Time: Every Other Sunday from 5 - 9 CST Cost: None, donations are appreciated but never required Age Requirement: 18+, some leniency would be given to those adults bringing younger family members (16+) into the game. This game would have some horror elements to it that may be graphic, but not sexual in any form. The story: There are strange events happening around Mount Hotenow, reports of an unknown force attacking the heavily armed Helm's Hold, strangers spotted in Mirabar, Horrors walking around Luskan, and Neverwinter, once a beacon of prosperity, now shunning all outsiders... You: A player or group of players looking for a new adventure. Although there is a homebrew story, you will be free to make any choice you want to make, given creative freedom in any way I can. 18+ is preferred as this story is dark, and does involve a war zone with people trapped between both sides, so if this would be a stressor or too dark for you this game might not be for you. Please have the availability to involve yourself in the text-based adventures between games. As we all have lives, we all have priorities and immediate responses to text-based events are not required, once a day or a few days is fine. Me: I have been playing DnD since the 2000s and love it. I have been a player for 15-20 games and DM'ed about ten one-shots, and three games that lasted longer than six months. I am in my 30s, a tech nerd, and a Dad that wishes his son was old enough to play too! This is a fraction of the information available about this game so if you are interested please let me know and I'll shoot you or your group of players an invite to the discord where you can ask more questions!
