Lord's Alliance: A Fistful of Platinum

The PCs are Leaders of the Lord's Alliance in the Misty City of Melvaunt. It is one of the only bastions of humanity in the Orchish and Ogre controlled Thar. The city is walled and for those in the know, the city is a hotbed of activity for adventurers and agents of many factions: The Lord's Alliance, the Zhentarim, the Harpers, the Emerald Enclave, as well as the Order of the Gauntlet all have personnel that frequent and operate out of the city in one capacity or another.

This is a living world - maps can be made and extended as relevant. The map of Faerun should be annotated and should include possible areas to explore as well as areas already visited.

Once an area has been cleared by a group whilst it may be re-inhabited, it will be a fresh set of inhabitants and items.

Areas may be multi-level and contain difficult pockets of foes or puzzles. Groups may have to retreat from things that they are not equipped to deal with. That group or a new group can then then choose to return to that area when they are more suitably equipped.

All PCs receive downtime for each session they attend. Living expenses will be taken into account.

PCs use a standard 27 point buy and may only use the PHB + 1 other book for character creation (like adventurers league). No play-test or non-hard cover content will be permitted. PCs start at 12th level though the build must be approved and fit the Lord's Alliance faction campaign arc (i.e. no barbarians or evil PCs). PCs have 6 Healing Potions and 500 GP in additional gear (can trade class gear in for base price in PHB).

Items can be bought and sold between characters.

Melvaunt is (normally) safe from monsters and open warfare thanks to the guards and legal systems. It is, however, rife with underlying political, trade, personal and faction conflict. Outside Melvaunt - anything goes!

PLEASE NOTE - Games are normally held at 10:30 AM EST on Saturdays at least once a month.

Players have access to a common journal and XPs will be awarded for detailed journaling.
