"Whispers of a great evil sweeping into your peaceful lands. What it is, no one knows. As disturbing horrific rumors pour into the bustling cities along the Swordcoast, fear is tightening its grip. All hope is lost, or so it would seem...What will you do? What can you do?
You can fight!!"
Political intrigue, Dungeon crawling, Find love, Lead armies, Build your own empire, Start a family, Be a legend, Save Swordcoast

Hi my name is Rocco and I'll be DM'ing a Homebrewed 5E Swordcoast FR Campaign
I'm attentive/creative/respectful/helpful/on time/reliable/enthusiastic/laid back/fun/hard working
I've been playing for 40+ years
I spend a lot of hours every day on writing/making maps/building worlds/ect
I almost never cancel sessions(a family surprise event)/never flake/never late/never play in a bad mood
I spent (and continue to spend) a lot of money on roll20 add-ons/maps/tokens/map patreons/ect
My DM style is FAST with a mix of RP and combat (60/40)
I use sound effects for monsters/people/instruments/ect and ambient backgrounds unique to locations
I often do not require roles for checks to speed up the game
This is a "grittier" game - thus leveling will be slower - so that you can enjoy the struggle of each level.
HIGH CHANCE OF DEATH (especially early on) (so be extra careful, be afraid, stay together, and have party combat tactics worked out)
Leveling will only be done at a city/town/druid encampment/temple/wandering trainer
Gaining a level is based off of accomplishments not XP
Use the average HP gain for leveling up
Use critical hit/fail charts for melee/range/spells
INITIATIVE is handled automatically (speeds up the game tremendously) [Adds your bonuses thru macros Roll20 Coding]
Rolling a 1 is ALWAYS A FAILURE
Rolling a 20 is ALWAYS A SUCCESS
Added a COMELINESS stat (RP only) to determine how attractive or ugly your character is (player can choose any number between 8-18)
You WILL BE CHALLENGED in combat (so expect a hard fight)
You are NOT HEROES YET...You are vulnerable...having to rely on your wits, ingenuity, and working together
MONSTERS ARE NOT SCALED TO FIT YOUR LEVEL...you will encounter things far deadlier than you.
MATURE ADULT THEMES
LOOKING FOR COLLABORATOR PLAYERS NOT CONSUMER PLAYERS
COLLABORATOR PLAYERS are that rare wonderful player that really gets into their character, they do an accent, draws a crest with their family tree, thinks and talks about the game when not playing, and wants to work to create a truly sublime gaming experience.
Consumer Players just want something to do in their spare time, when not playing it's "out of sight out of mind", during the game they want fewer challenges and don't want to "think too hard".
Use spell components (which you have to buy and have in your inventory and PLEASE RP announce during casting)
Use (homebrew) flanking "attack from behind without being seen" gets advantage (for baddies too)
No PVP (unless under an enemies spell)
Track (magic only) ammo
When using INVESTIGATION (roll once for an entire level/floor in a dungeon/castle/cave/ect) for traps/secret doors)
NO DARK-VISION OR BLIND-SIGHT (use your top stat bonus modifier for additional skills or proficiency's instead)
Track encumbrance (can't exceed your max)
Conjuration Limit - All creatures and players can only summon 1 creature at a time (to speed up combat)
Using a potion is a bonus action (giving it to someone else is an action)
Only a spell that has an ongoing duration can be dispelled (example DAWN spell cast from an EVO wizard after the initial casting round, cannot protect party members from the damage)
Harvesting monster remains, creating potions/poisons, enchanting items, ect - just add it to your equipment and learn recipes from books/treasure/apothecary store/ect
THE JOURNEY HAPPENS ON A SHIP/HORSE/CARRIAGE/WALK
THIS WORLD has NO:planar traveling spells /future telling spells /magic long distance traveling spells / magic long distance communication spells (sending...ect)
Please always be ON TIME and RELIABLE on game days
Please be attentive/creative/enthusiastic/fun/optimistic/interesting/FAST THINKING
Please let other players talk and give their input throughout game
Please do not talk during someone else's turn
Please do not talk over people
Please do not complain, whine, or be negative in any way (this is a positive, upbeat group)
If you die you die...please be easy-going about it
NEVER ARGUE WITH THE DM - "I'm just trying to make it fun and fast and keep everyone engaged and entertained"
Please be respectful and nice
Please do not say, "Here comes the TPK"/"The DM is trying to kill us"/"You're going to kill me" (It is NOT the DM vs Players)
Please do not tell people how to play their character
No "bossy leader types" taking over the game from the other players (like a single player video game)
Engaged is awesome...but everyone has to speak the same amount
No yelling at other players or getting angry
Please fill out character data completely on character sheet (Spells/Backstory/Factions/Deity/ect)
Experienced D&D5e Players Only

"TALKING things out instead of fighting (rolling persuasion/insight/intimidation/ect) will often garner greater rewards...and save your life"
NO MURDER HOBO'S
Use DISCORD for voice/text journals/quest journals/npc descriptions/party combat strategy/ect
3 Dimensional Character
Basically a real person, someone who thinks, reacts, learns, struggles, and overcomes. Think of your life and how it molded you, how people have affected you, and you them.
"Does your character embrace their vulnerabilities and flaws?"
DETAILED BACKSTORY: Be sure to include LOVES, HATES, FEARS, MOTIVATIONS, GOALS, DREAMS, SECRETS
This is a "RICH VIBRANT WORLD" and your character can look for love/smoking/drinking/boxer/pit gladiator/help an NPC out for a reward/find bounties/hang out in brothels/hunt for animals/forge meaningful friendships, finding/design/or have someone build you a home, starting a business, joining a faction, having a family, building a temple/church, ect - are all at your disposal (This is your world to explore and escape into) PROACTIVE
I am interested. I was not sure if you were looking for experienced players but the layout seemed basic and straightforward. I would probably have a few pre-game questions and need a little hand holding before we started the game but once I get to know you I am sure I'll get the hang of it. Let me know if I qualify. I am generally available daily after 7 p.m. PST
Experience: Mostly reading the books. Played a few short campaigns that the DM fizzled out on. Discord: Strup#6904
Slowly building up my character so ill post my current progress here.
Race: Mountain Dwarf
Class: Paladin
Organization: The Order of the Gauntlet
Character is at an emotional crossroads trying to find the best path to unite the dwarven kingdoms and make them stronger than ever.
