This campaign is being run on Tuesday from 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM [West Coast (GMT -8)] and is Pay to Play via PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo. I am a 49 year old American living in Japan. Expect the campaign to take roughly 1 year to complete.
Deep beneath Phandalin, a forgotten evil stirs. The legendary forge? That was the beginning.
When an ancient lost obelisk shatters—reality cracks with it and all hell is about to break loose on the poor unsuspecting town above it . As unseen terror seeps from the depths and reality itself no longer follows the rules, will your party brave the darkness to save the town? Unearth secrets older than the gods, battle horrors that defy reason, forge alliances, and save not only Phandalin - but possibly of the entirety of the Forgotten Realms.
This campaign starts at level 1 and finishes at level 12.
The DM
Hello prospective players! My name is Brian, I am 49, and I was born in the USA but am now living in Japan. I have run The Lost Mine of Phandelver on Roll20 multiple times to its conclusion as well as completed several other longform campaigns including Rime of the Frostmaiden and Odyssey of the Dragonlords.
My goal in running a campaign is for each of us to have a great time and come away with a memorable experience at the end. I am very much on the side of a co-operative over competitive style of dungeon mastering. Though, I do root for my monsters and will give you a challenge with each encounter you face.
Why Pay to Play
There are a multitude of reasons as to why I run a Pay to Play campaign. The first and most important is I need to justify the insane amount of time I spend playing D&D to my wife by showing her I can make some money doing it. Secondly, it is my opinion that people who pay to play are better players who are more invested, show up more consistently, and participate more actively.
As I intend to see this to its conclusion and would like to run for a group who are comitted to seeing this campaign to its end.
18+?
You must be 18 or older to join this campaign.
This campaign features descriptions of graphic violence and the occasional profanity. Slavery, drug use, mind control, murder, undead, spiders, and other triggers will be a part of this campaign at some point or the other.
There will be no sexual content in this campaign either described or acted out. While I am absolutely not against it, sexual content does not fit into the story of this campaign. Now, Odyssey of the Dragonslords, well, that is a different story...
New Players
I am a teacher so I love helping people discover and learn about D&D. I have taught multiple kindly internet strangers about D&D through one of my campaigns on Roll20 (Many of them are still enjoying the hobby to this day!). I will gladly walk you through each step on what you want to play, how to create your character, and how to play D&D as a whole. No question is stupid or embarrassing! Lets learn and have fun together!
Female players/LGBTQ+/Politics/Religion
I am happy to have any player of any gender, race, ethnicity, or species. We will respect each other and will not harass someone for what they are. We will leave our politics and religions at the login button. As we are here to play D&D, you should not expect to debate real world politics/religion/sexual orientation/etc.
We will be using the 2024 rules, that being said:
Species
I have a complete set of enhanced versions of each species found in the Players Handbook. My common species have multiple additional subspecies options not found in the PHB. In addition, I have several additional species options available (all with subspecies options available).
Subclasses
In addition to what is in the Players Handbook, I have been compiling a comprehensive selection of curated additional subclass options for most classes.
Spells
I have curated a list of additional spells for you to pick from for all spell casting classes.
House Rules
I have a list of common sense house rules to help speed up and improve the experience of the game.
Custom Monsters & Magic Items
I love creating monsters and magic items. Look forward to some cool stuff coming your way!!
Inspiration (Deck?!)
I use a Deck of Many Things based Inspiration system that is always beneficial for the players and a lot more interesting than just a simple reroll. All cards have unique art as well!
Attunement and the Commonality of Magic Items
I allow for additional special attunement slots which I will explain in greater detail at a point in the story when they become available. Furthermore, I really love giving out magic items and other cool things. To me, earning loot is a fun part of the game!
As a 2nd edition player myself, I very much disagree with the limited magic item philosophy of D&D 5th edition.
Multiclassing/Evil Characters
There will be no multi-classing or evil characters allowed in this campaign.
Do you have a group of 4-6 players who would be interested in me running this or any other D&D campaign for your group, but want to play it at a different day/time? If yes, please contact me so we can discuss what I can do to make it happen.
