Very Important: You do not need to spend any money, or need to research the adventure. You will play 1-3 NPCs that are drow prisoners wanting (but not trying excessively hard--to keep the PCs the stars of the show). There is likely little combat (see below). Discord is the voice software. The free version of Fantasy Grounds can be used. Ruleset is D&D, 5e.
Looking for players (2-4 -- haven't decided) to run the NPCs of the prisoner scene in Out of the Abyss. You do NOT need to be familiar with the module--just the basics of how to role-play, and I'll give you notes (How you became a drow prisoner, how motivated you are to escape, what special information you have, which characters/classes/races you favor/dislike). This session will be high role-play, low combat (because I'm setting the initial stage of the campaign--Explaining Underdark, who/what are Drow, how they got there, who are the NPCs, demonstrate the drow being vicious, etc ...) It will likely be 3 hours of RP, and one hour of combat (to escape the compound). Two helpers can contribute a "PC" but the characters will be killed by the drow (to demonstrate how cruel they are--open for ideas on that).
Members who are familiar with the Out of the Abyss NPCs (prior DMs?) can choose who they want to RP if they have strong intentions for one NPC vs another. Otherwise, I'll ask, "Do you want to play an insane guy? Yes... Here..."
One (possibly two) session(s). Saturday, 7/1/17 at 6pm - 10pm MST. Sorry, once we establish the who is who, the PCs will begin to take over the NPCs and as the story progresses, the NPCs will leave/die. To be clear, there is no room for a permanent player slot.
Why am I doing this? There are a lot of NPCs and I want to give them all a decent personality (to motivate the PCs to genuinely interact with them) (they also get an XP reward for keeping them alive). By letting others help me, I can focus more energy into the main drow characters whom will later chase and pursue the fleeing group.
Individuals who help me and do well (stick to the notes fairly well, not intrusive, etc) will have an opportunity to play future NPCs (if desired of course) and a chance to provide input for my next up-coming campaign (thinking evil campaign, Zhentariam agents manipulating multiple nations into warring with each other and they will mop up the survivors. Expected start time is around September-October)
