We are an open and affirming 🏳️🌈 group looking to fill out our regular, weekly dnd 5e game. You would be joining our existing game of five players. We play weekly on Wednesdays from 8:30 PM to 11:30PMish Eastern Time . Our Rules: Tales of Valiant We play Dungeons and Dragons 5e, the Tales of Valiant variant, in a world which we have built and will continue to build together. We are flexible with the rules, adjusting them to make the game more fun and removing the rules we find less fun. While we have been playing dnd for decades, ToV is a new iteration for us, and we may need to make adjustments once we get comfortable with the changes. For the onset, we are playing mostly rules as written, with some additions based on gaps in the system. We may change rulesets, if we get a sense at some point that it is not fun. Our Game Here are some details about our game, to help you decide if you think we would be a good fit: We favor roleplay over tactics , doing what our characters would most likely do, rather than what tactically makes the most sense. We split the time between roleplay and combat about 50%/50% , with some sessions being entirely story driven without any fighting. We do not do dungeon crawls . We do not recommend min-maxing, instead building the character to help tell the story. Fights can and will likely be dangerous, and character death is a possibility (but death does not always mean the end of the story!) We favor teamwork over individualism . If your instinct is to run off and do your own thing when you get to town, you will not likely fit in well with this game. We want to play with each other, and want to help develop each others’ stories. Our World The world of Cynner is a world of hardship and the strength to overcome. Centuries ago, a dragonmarked ‘hero’ named Asinath challenged the dragon gods for power, and thus began the cataclysm. The world fell into darkness for what felt like an eternity, and the shadows were filled with new, powerful creatures called Shades . These creatures were limited to the darkness, but they ran over villages and cities alike, resistant to all forms of damage or defense. Eventually, shade-lights were discovered, a special sun-like source of light that made them vulnerable in the brightest light. From there, a new diverse world was formed out of the catastrophe. New cities now span the world, built over the ruins of ancient, racial nations. Now, these refugees formed alliances to defend against the darkness and create new lives. Now, centuries later, you live in this world and seek to make your place in it. You were meant for greatness, though either loved or hated is up to you and your choices! About you For this campaign, we welcome all players (new and old), but it is important you fit the following criteria to join our game: New players are welcome! To fit in, you need to be an open minded player who favors fun over everything else, not just yours but everyones. You are welcoming, accepting and supportive of all types of people. You are a team player and are comfortable sharing the spotlight, and enjoy when others have the opportunity to shine. You are comfortable putting the needs of the group above your own, and sometimes being outvoted. You are comfortable with the use of safety tools, and prepared to respect others preferences and boundaries. You can come weekly regularly, are reliable and timely You love Dungeons and Dragons and other TTRPGs and are excited to play every week on a regular basis. You are comfortable with technology and digital tools. Our tools and platforms have shifted over the years, and sometimes we shift based on the decisions of the tool’s corporate controllers. Currently, we use zoom for video calls, discord for our chat, and a combination of different VTTs, including Foundry, Roll20, and more (Favorites right now are Foundry and Shard ). How to apply For our application, please fill out our google form . If you are interested, we request you completely fill out all the questions and we will follow up with a one on one chat with me, the DM, to establish compatibility. If it seems like you would be a good fit, you would be invited to interview with the other players (to get a chance to meet you), and we would discuss through consensus if we agree you would be a good fit. Please DO NOT INCLUDE CHARACTER DETAILS . We are a team based group, and we consider character generation a team-based activity. If this is not something you are comfortable with, it is not likely this group will work well for you.
