Candlekeep Mysteries Tuesdays

Candlekeep Mysteries-Session 1 Tuesday!

Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths. Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them. Many of these books contain their own mysteries—each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold?

Candlekeep Mysteries is a collection of seventeen short, stand-alone adventures designed for characters of levels 1-16. Each adventure begins with the discovery of a book, and each book is the key to a door behind which danger and glory await.

The Game:

-We will hold a Session 0 to get to know each other, and work on character creation/party formation. Session 0 will be free.
-Optional Variant rules will be decided upon by the party in session 0. I generally use +2 to hit for flanking for more tactical combat, if the party wishes.
-Due to the campaign’s nature as an anthology, the different sections will have varying ratios of combat to RP. That being said, I consider myself skilled at running interesting/challenging combat, and challenge should be expected. Due to that challenge, character deaths are possible, please be ok with that. If your character dies, you will be making a new character of the same level. Ideally you will all have a few backups in mind.
-For RP, I am a firm believer that intra-party RP is some of the most entertaining/rewarding available, which means I will step out of the way to allow this to happen as much as I can. Be warned: Due to the nature of this campaign being an anthology, the story is much more episodic than any kind of running plot.
-Sessions will usually last three and half hours; plus/minus half an hour.
-Discord for Voice Chat.
-The Roll20 Module/Dynamic Lighting will be fully used.
-Tweaked enemies, don’t expect everything to be exactly ripped from the books!

• Respect is a must and I will not tolerate player conflicts, PVP, or any type of disrespectful behavior towards the other players. No graphic sexual content. Players who violate this Social Contract will be removed.
