FG License: Ultimate
Game System: D&D 5E
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Day of week and time: Wednesdays, 7pm - 11pm.
Planned start date: Session Zero - Weds, 5/29/2024 - if players come together fast. If not, then next week, 6/5
Planned Duration & Frequency: 4 Hour Session, Weekly
Term: Long term Campaign
Text or Voice: Voice
Voice software used: Discord
Will this be recorded and/or live streamed? No

Roleplay / Combat / Exploration mix: 45/45/10 -ish

I do my best to incorporate at least one combat and one ”social” role-play encounter per session with some exploration/puzzle solving sprinkled throughout.

Number of Players needed: 4-6

Character Starting Level & Equipment:

PCs will start at Level 1 w/ all standard gear as stated by the PHB for your class/background + a few simple add-ons: TBD

As I genuinely feel 5e can over inflate a PC abilities, this will be a, generally speaking, rare “low magic” world. Don’t expect to see any +1 stuff much before lvl 5, +2 stuff >lvl 7, +3 >lvl 10

Restricted Races: In the spirit of the OSR, only the following core races are going to be permitted for your starting primary PC(s):


Dwarf - Duergar/Grey Dwarf will need a discussion before being approved
Elf - Dark Elf/Drow will need a discussion before being approved. No Sea Elves, don’t even ask
Gnome - Deep Gnome/Svirfneblin will need a discussion before being approved
Half-Elf
Halfling
Half-Orc
Human

All other races/subraces are restricted for primary PCs

Restricted Classes: Artificers. Nope. Don’t even ask.

Details of the campaign and scenario:

I’m offering to start-up and run a long-term campaign that is an amalgamation of the Rage of Demons, Lost Tales of Myth Drannor, Tales from the Yawning Portal and a bunch of homebrew stuff as well.

Consider it as a mainly a linear adventure w/ a little bit of sandboxing ability and a few one-off, “break-in-the-action” style sidebar adventures tossed in the mix.

The Basic Campaign Set-up:

The adventuring begins in the year 1491 DR and takes place around the southern Moonsea & northern Cormanthor regions of Faerûn, east of Hillsfar in the village of Elventree, where a recent string of strange occurrences has the locals on edge.

The five factions have gathered on the borders of Cormanthor to determine what's exactly been happening…

About me and who I’m looking to play with:



Though I’m not a pro DM (nor do I care to be), I have been a D&D enthusiast, player & DM since 1977 and I’ve been playing and DMing games using FGU since 2020. I welcome both rookie and veteran players alike.

In terms of play style, I’m looking for a socially friendly group of mature people preferably >21y/o and who’re not too hardcore about official “rules and regulations” but are into a little role play, crushing some critters and good times!

I have zero tolerance for bullies, cheaters, meta gamers, rules lawyers, whiners, power gamers &/or spotlight hogs.
:mad:

If you qualify for or self identify as any of these types of players, this is not the campaign for you and I don’t want ya around, so please move along.


Oh! Though not a deal breaker, I would also greatly prefer if you have never played any of the Rage of Demons, Lost Tales of Myth Drannor and/or Tales from the Yawning Portal modules as a lot of this content has been incorporated into the campaign.


Thanks and I’m lookin’ forward to rollin’ some pixels with ya! :)

Are you planning a Session 0, or a discussion via Discord? The campaign sounds interesting, and I would be interested in talking to you about it. Thanks.

I would be interested in joining your campaign. Long time player/DM and have never played these adventures. The timing works great for me as well.

Hey There!

Thanks so much for your interest and for checking in! Unfortunately, the boat is full and has already left port...

If a passenger should disembark at a port of call, fall overboard or be forced to walk the plank for any reason, I can put you on the alt list and let you know if/when anything should change. :)

Cheers!

This sounds like a fun campaign, any room left for a player with 3 decades of rpg experience?

Greetings,
I know you're full but I'm still interested. If you have a reserve list please pencil me in. If you're ever short a player or two but still want to go through with the session perhaps you may consider pulling in from reserves for a temp fill. This gives you the chance to feel out new blood and may help you decide who to put in later if a permanent spot opens up.

ABOUT ME:
45+ yrs old
RPGing since 94
Very Experienced in 5e and FG/U
Never played the modules mentioned.

Best,
