Hawthorne Guild

[Online][D&D 5e/5.5e][Discord][Forgotten Realms][Beginner Friendly]

We are a D&D 5e/5.5e 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 10,000 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 5e 2014 or 5.5e 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 5e 2014 or 5.5e 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 have multiple ongoing server events, including an opt-in server event related to the Death Curse of Tomb of Annihilation, an ongoing server storyline with a villainous faction known as the Dread Empire seeking to conquer the Sword Coast (with an accompanying Youtube cutscene), and more recently our annual Greengrass event, featuring festivals held across Faerûn!
