Details of your scenario: A large festival celebrating the wonders of magic is being held in the grand city of Volonare. This week long festival is held once every 10 years and attracts all kinds of people from across the world. Those who are attuned to magic or have the ability to cast spells come to enjoy the festival for various reasons, whether it is for the bragging rights/showing off, a good way to make money from entertaining shows or selling magical items, gaining knowledge from other spell casters, or other personal reasons. Even those who are not manipulators of magic come to experience its wonders. From commoners to nobles, everyone can find a reason to be there. A contest is usually held for the most experienced of spell casters to display their skills to a large crowd of spectators, in which a grand prize is usually given to the one who generates the most approval from the judges.
As a player, you will begin with this festival in mind, although where you originate and why you are there are up to you. Giving me enough details to flesh out your character is nice, but details left blank or not brought up upon creation will be left to me in order to fill out. If this occurs, I would request that you attempt to improvise and adapt to the established decision I may make as best you can unless you can correct me at the time of which it comes up. Ideally, I would square away details or clarifications that may come up in between sessions with you, but during a session may be somewhat harder to do that. Basically, no need for a several page autobiography, but enough to show that you have put enough thought into the character’s creation. Since there is not really an established overall setting here, feel free to make up your own locations to fit your backstory (within reason).
The lore/setting is not particularly based on any of the locations or settings outlined in official D&D campaigns, however parts may be taken and used in order to flavor the setting more. Any ties between events from them could be purely coincidental.
**I would appreciate those who wish to play have a character(s) in mind either based on the resources available in the list above regarding the supplements I own, or a link or list to the features regarding a homebrew class/race so I may add it to the campaign module. As I am very new to DMing, I am likely to get rules wrong or confused with other editions/games, so I would appreciate it that if you are a dm yourself, that you bear with me and help a fellow dm out. I’m hoping to provide a nice story with challenging combat but sticking directly to all rules all the time is not something I see as fun, so don’t expect a strict campaign. The final say on rulings will be up to me, but players may express opinions or corrections on a ruling as they occur.
**Character deaths can occur, so if you get upset a lot at bad rolls then please do not join. Please respect other player’s decisions/characters/person, keep in mind that there are other people playing, and limit the discussion of dividing topics, such as political beliefs (there’s enough of that on the internet already). Limited min/maxing and meta-gaming is requested, and try not to devolve into murder-hobos if unjustified.
Feel free to ask anymore questions!
