Quick Glance: Game System: D&D 5e (2024) DM Experience: 25+ years Schedule: Monday 9 PM EDT start time; sessions will last about 2.5 - 3 hours Roles sought: Up to 4 new players, joining 2 existing ones, who enjoy long-term campaigns of world exploration, adventure, and role-play. Game style: Skill use and roleplay are just as important as combat ability; I do a blend of RAW and Rule of Cool, esp. for really clever ideas. Campaign: Congratulations! Your application to work at the prestigious and world-renown Candlekeep Library has been reviewed and our esteemed council of highly-regarded, well-trained, and only briefly incarcerated staffing experts have approved you for the role of Avowed Adjunct Assistant Associate Class IV (Probationary). Well done! The full orientation will happen upon your arrival, but there some absolute critical rules you should know from the start: 1) All books are not allowed to leave Candlekeep without express written permission. 2) You, however, may at times be assigned to leave Candlekeep to retrieve late books, late fees, or late arrivals. 3) Never – EVER – enter Tower XXIV after sundown. We look forward to your upcoming start date! Please disregard any rumors you may have heard that your admittance is solely because the senior management are desperately scrambling to staff the place after the sudden mass disappearance of the Junior ranks of the Avowed. Welcome aboard, and get ready for an unparalleled learning experience! ~~~~~~~ In this campaign, you and your party are coming in as the newest members of Candlekeep, after some “problems” with the last batch of interns. Perhaps you have applied because your family needs the money, or perhaps because you have longed to read the mysterious tomes locked away within Candlekeep, or maybe you are hiding from someone (or something). Whatever the case, Candlekeep will be your new home for a long time. Fortunately, there are a great many things to keep you occupied during your extended stay. Logistics: This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $20/player/session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. Besides your Roll20 account, you will also need an account on StartPlaying, DnDBeyond, and Discord. All payments will happen through StartPlaying – you can message me to get the direct link. Once you sign up, you will get a welcome notice with the links that you need for Discord (voice chat), Roll20 (for maps and combat), and DnDBeyond (for the character sheets). We’ll get your character set up ahead of the session so when game time starts you’ll be ready to jump in; we’ll get your character created, determine your backstory, and set expectations and limits on content (lines, veils, etc.). You can use digital dice or roll physical ones (we use the honor system). I use the music jukebox extensively within Roll20, both for ambience and battle music, as well as dynamic lighting with fog of war so players know exactly what their characters see. I have a wide array of maps that I use, including some custom ones, and will often include handouts for various characters, locations, or items. Likewise, I frequently utilize theater of the mind when it is more expedient; whatever works best for the immersion and flow of the game. Thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the group soon! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/424263/one-for-the-books" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/424263/one-for-the-books</a>
