Hawthorne Guild

Hawthorne Guild

[Online][5e][Discord][Forgotten Realms][Beginner Friendly]

We are a D&D 5e server offering a persistent game world set in the Forgotten Realms and broader D&D multiverse. You and others play as adventurers of the Hawthorne Guild, an adventuring guild in the Sword Coast. With over 8,000 sessions ran over the course of 8 years, you and other players can dive in to determine the next chapter of your character's story and the guild's story.

Server Information

Player Guidelines

As a player on the server, you can expect to:
- Play any number of characters starting at level 3 or level 5 (your choice)
- Create characters using almost all of the official options as well as select UA and server homebrew
- Create and play either 2014 or 2024 characters
- Progress your character through game sessions to experience content from level 3 to level 20
- Participate in downtime activities and text roleplay between adventures

As a DM on the server, you can expect to:
- Run games for any level of play and your choice of either 2014 or 2024 games
- Participate in a shared setting of the Forgotten Realms and broader D&D multiverse by running your choice of oneshots, multisessions or campaigns, or Play-By-Post games
- Use almost all official monsters and magic items to use and award in your games, as well as server homebrew
- Gain DM rewards to progress a character at the same rate as a player, so you don't miss out on any of the fun when you play games as well

We're recruiting both players and DMs, with new members able to become a DM immediately. We have a helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable base of Staff, players, and DMs with years of D&D experience and are welcoming to D&D players both veteran and new.

We recently concluded our annual Feast of the Moon event, which celebrates autumn and horror themed sessions throughout October. We've recently started an opt-in server event related to the Death Curse of Tomb of Annihilation, as well as a new server storyline with a new villainous faction from the High Moor seeking to conquer the Sword Coast known as the Dread Empire, which has an accompanying Youtube cutscene! Additionally, we'll soon be adding content from the new Forgotten Realms books for server play!
