Greetings fellow gamers!

I have acquired the new Tomb of Annihilation and I have been inspired!

Unfortunately, I'm not particularly inspired by the main plot of the adventure. To put it bluntly, I feel like the hook is poorly thought out, lazy, and boring. The premise of the adventure is stupid on too many levels.

And that's the beauty of the D&D game. You take what is there and make it your own. I have tweaked the storyline and events. I will not waste all the hard work that went into Tomb of Annihilation, but just understand the main plot has been altered.

I'm preparing a brief player's packet for introductory information.

The basic premise is that you are associates of a Trading Company from the Sword Coast that is preparing to set up shop in Port Nyanzaru.

This is going to be an open sandbox focused on Chult. The events in Tomb of Annihilation will be used (for the most part) but the context and time frames may have been altered. Also, some interested parties may change due to the alterations I've made. I'm also incorporating other material made for this Campaign found on the DMs Guild.

That's all I'm putting out there right now. I'm working on the "Player's Guide" handout that will fill in the introductory details.

I can't start the game safely until the end of the month after a schedule change at work. Right now the proposed start date is November 30th, 2017.

Send me a PM if you are interested. If I get more responses than needed I will be considering you in the order in which you respond. I'm hoping to make this a long-term game/group, so please do not apply if you don't plan on committing to a long-term group.

I will be updating this post/thread as developments occur.

Thanks for your interest!

Still looking for players folks!

[JshAber]

I'd like to play! I'm somewhat of a noob if that's okay.

[Daemini]

I've applied on the calendar.

[wthrasherb]

Responses are looking good folks!

Nothing is set in stone yet!

Plus, there's a lot of time between now and November 30th... people could change their mind.

Don't be shy!

If you're interested, apply!

Sounds like a great idea and setting. I love home brew games especially sandbox ones, but this also gets the benefit of a lot of things being fleshed out already. It is also a perfect fit for my schedule. I have applied on the game calendar.
