a few new players needed for a on going 5e game

[hawkwind]

I am running the Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign and have few spare places. The current players are about to hit level 4 and we try and play for a couple hours or so ever Thursday night starting at 8pm GMT. If you are interested post below and tell me a little about your self including you experience /proficiency in Fantasy Grounds and your back ground in RPG's and what style of game you prefer

[Bashido2]

Im almost completely new to 5e, i dont have the rulebook.
That said, im willing to try it out before being like "5e is boring". :3
Since i mostly heard "5e is vanilla dnd" from people so far.

My Background is mostly homebrew/pathfinder and im a caster type player (even though im not tactically good at it rofl).

If possible id like a premade ranged evocation wizard sheet to ease the process of joining if im picked.
Or help with creating a sheet, whichever works out best.

[hawkwind]

I'll pm you today

[Hurty_Noob]

hey, i'm pretty new to tabletop rpg's but I've been playing games all my life and I would say cRPG's are my bread and butter.
I am currently playing in a no/low magic 5e game in FG on saturdays (about 3 weeks in) and i'm loving it. which is why i'm here, i want more!
I was thinking about a sorcerer but that could easily change.

Hey this is McGuire2778 from the Google group. Looking forward to the 12th. Let me know what sort of prep you want to get together on ahead of time. Character creation etc.

[hawkwind]

Right our new players are HotwheelzMcG and Scuro

your character looks fine however you haven't chosen any thing on the Notes Tab on the character sheet not even your Alignment

you need to choose from the campaign options below

you must take one of the character boons below either instead of or as well as any other you may have. There are also two optional features to replace the feature that comes with your background which will be off great use in the adventure


The Story Thus Far .
As the Cult of the Dragon has grown bolder, its actions
have drawn attention. Your character has stumbled into
the Cult’s scheme in some manner or has a connection
to dragons. The following tables provide you with bonds
tailored to this campaign. Use them in place of or in
addition to the ones you selected from (or created for)
your background.
B o n d (d 10)
1. Leosin Erlanthar, a wandering monk, once saved your life.
He’s sent urgent word for you to meet him in a small town
called Greenest. Looks like it’s time to pay off that debt.
2. When an orc raid drove your family from your home, the
people of Greenest took you in. Anyone who threatens
Greenest is your sworn enemy.
3. Every five nights, you have a strange sequence of apocalyptic
dreams. The world is destroyed by cold, choking fumes,
lightning storms, waves of acid, and horrible fire. Each
time, the dream ends with ten evil eyes glaring at you from
the darkness. You feel a strange compulsion to travel to
Greenest. Perhaps the answer to the riddle of your dreams
awaits you there.
4. Ontharr Frume, a crusading warrior and champion of good,
is your friend and mentor. He has asked you to travel to
Greenest in search of rumors of increasing dragon activity.
5. You have heard rumors that your close childhood friend, a
half-elf named Talis, has been kidnapped by a strange group
of dragon cultists. Your investigations into the cult have led
you to the town of Greenest. You must save her!
6. Being the grandchild of a renowned dragon slayer is usually
a good way to impress people, but just last week a gang of
ruffians attack you. You barely escaped with your life, but
as you fled, the ruffians told you that the Cult of the Dragon
never forgets and always avenges. You’re hoping to lie low in
a sleepy little town called Greenest until this blows over.
7. On his deathbed, your father confessed that he had become
involved with a group called the Cult of the Dragon. They
paid him to smuggle goods across the Sword Coast. Wracked
by guilt, he begged you to investigate the cult and undo the
evil he may have helped foster. He urged you to begin your
search in a town called Greenest.
8. The dragons destroyed everything you hold dear. They killed
your family and destroyed your home. Now, with nothing
but what you carry on your back and a horrid scar of the near
fatal wounds you sustained in the attack, you seek revenge.
9. You and your family were members of the Cult of the Dragon,
until your rivals in the cult arranged to wipe you out. Though
they slaughtered your kin, you survived, but they think
you’re dead. Now is your chance for vengeance! Your hit
list consists of three names: a human cultist named Frulam
Mondath, a half-orc named Bog Luck, and a half-dragon
named Rezmir. You have arrived in Greenest, knowing it’s
next on the cult’s list of targets.
10. You have a secret. You once were a gold dragon who served
Bahamut. You were too proud and vain, to the point that
Bahamut decided to teach you a lesson. You have been
trapped in a weak, humanoid body, with your memories of
your former life but a dim shadow. You remember only one
thing with perfect clarity: Bahamut’s command to go into the
world and prove your devotion to the cause of good. If you
prove worthy, on your death you will return to his side in your
true form.

O p t io n a l F e a t u r e s

Below are two optional features that you can choose
in place of the feature normally granted by your
background.

O p t i o n a l F e a t u r e : C u l t o f t h e D r a g o n
I n f i l t r a t o r
You have infiltrated the ranks of the Cult of the Dragon.
Having spied on the organization for quite some time,
you are familiar with its inner workings and customs.
You have a second identity as an initiate of the cult,
enough of a facade to blend in as a simple grunt or
servant.
O p t i o n a l F e a t u r e : D r a g o n S c h o l a r
You have studied dragons and their lore for many years.
You can automatically identify locations built or used
by dragons and can identify dragon eggs and scales by
sight. If you fail an Intelligence check to recall lore relating
to dragons, you know someone or some book you
can consult for the answer unless the DM rules that the
lore is unknown.

Hotwheelz you need to build a standard 4th level character but for the first session you get to play an npc or rather a pc of a player who has left the game

Do you have a rules module parsed?

If you don't I can arrange a session for character building

hopefully the next play session will be on the 12th

[HotwheelzMcG]

I do have the phb parsed already. I'll roll a character up tonight and do an export it for you. Can you pm me with an email or something to get that to you? What method do you prefer for ability skill levels? Point buy, die roll, standard point array?

[LikesToRespawn]

Would love to join if there is still room. I have the phb for 5e and am part of another campaign using fantasy grounds. would love to make either a human cleric or a half elf warlock have both made already and could just reroll stats if need be.

[HotwheelzMcG]

Accidently put it on a different forum thread by accident. Too many tabs open I guess LOL. Anyway here he is.

[Dekorume]

Is there still room (and time) to get in to tonight's game? If so, I would be greatly interested in joining.

[hawkwind]

[HotwheelzMcG]

Scuro, thanks for the great read on grappling in 5e. Below is the link he shared on TS at the end of our session.

https://community.wizards.com/forum/player-help/threads/4142801

[hawkwind]

A grappling bard was not what I was expecting. Sort of thing you see often in Pathfinder society games!

[hawkwind]

The game is on tonight at the usual time, I must remember to load that token :)

[hawkwind]

[iamisandisnt]

Somethings come up in my life that means i can't make the game tonight agsain for the second time in three weeks. I can't guarentee at the moment its not go happen again another next few months, "Trouble with Builders " is the short edited version. Anyway with great regret I'm going to have bow out of this campaign . Apologies all round

[Dekorume]

Real Life always comes first Hawkwind. While it is regrettable, it is totally understandable. Let me know when you are able to commit to running a campaign and I'll be there.

As always,

Dek

[iamisandisnt]

Thanks for the good times nonetheless. Good luck with everything and feel free to reach out if you decide to run a campaign again.

[hawkwind]

[iamisandisnt]

No worries. Monday nights are good for me so let me know :)
