Hey all. I've been wanting to run this module for a little while now. This will be a TEXT ONLY game that would run once a week until the module is complete. The game would be on Thursday nights from 5:30pm to ~8:30pm PST (GMT -8). There is something that I really need to make sure of if you are a player that is looking to sign up for this game- NO POWER GAMERS! Please, it is a text based game that will rely heavily on role play, not roll play. If you feel that you cannot contribute to the story in a character driven way, then please don't sign up. The way I see it is that if we spend a whole session never rolling one die, I'm fine with that.

Also, please understand what you are getting into when playing in a text based game- patience is a must. Things tend to run a bit slower, but I'm fine with that and I hope that you would be too. Respect for one another when people are trying to type is critical. Not everyone is a fast typer but would still like to play a RPG. Just please respect their time in the game as well. If I am coming across as brash, please forgive me. I have been burned with bad players in the past that "claimed" to be character/story driven players when all they wanted to do was roll perception on anyone who passed by because the GM stated that someone was walking by. C'mon, we are starting with 1st level characters who are being flung into the adventuring world.

Also, I am not new to running games in Fantasy Grounds at all. I promise that, from my end, you will have a good time if you are looking for the type of game I am providing- a laid back, role play heavy game where the story comes first.

With all that, here is the critical info:

FG License: GM has Full so players need at least Lite, etc.
Game System: D&D 5E

Time Zone: Pacific Standard Time
Day of week and time: Thursdays at 5:30pm
Planned start date: As soon as we have 2 players.
Planned Frequency: Weekly
Term: Until module is complete

Text or Voice: Text ONLY
Voice software used: N/A

Roleplay & Combat mix: 70/30- role play/combat
Number of Players in game & needed: Need 2 to start, 3 players max
Character starting level & equipment:1st level. Pregens available if desired.
Character restrictions: Only core races and classes

Details of your scenario: In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker asked you to bring a wagonload of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days' travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Hallwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business."

Again, if I seem brash, please don't feel that I am a harsh or mean GM. I just want to experience a really fun, story and character driven game. Thank you so much all for looking at this post and I really hope to get this game going!

I like this idea of more rp. Can I still join? Are you going to introduce some story before diving in the module? Anyway, I'd love to play. Hit me up.
