The Campaign Hook
Faerun, a land which has seen many wonders and adventures as well as tragedies. From the destruction of Neverwinter to the flourish of the city of Waterdeep; many tales have been spun. Though for the past two hundred years the days of adventuring have died down. There has been peace throughout the land and the tales of Giants warring and Tiamat rising are stuff of legend. Sure there was the occasional monster or ravaging orc tribe but not as frequent as one may think. Thus the golden age was brought forward to the realm. An age where adventurers set aside their swords and picked up their pickaxes and quills. Everyone was looking for the right opportunity. And word was spreading that it was to be found in the city of Mirabar to the north. Mirabar was a mining city of great wealth located on the Sword Coast near the Spine of the World. The city was occupied by shield dwarves who lived underground near to their workshops, which produced metal goods for export in the region and beyond. The humans above cooperated with the dwarves to handle the mining, move the ore to market, and defend the city against magical threats. It was a peaceful place with rarely, if ever, any crime. Those who plotted against her were met with swift justice by the Shadow District and Axe of Mirabar. Workers and adventurers are coming from all over seeking to gain some of Mirabar’s wealth. The Council of the Sparkling Stones are a bit displeased. They are resistant to the influx of workers and adventurers going to ‘steal’ their wealth but also realize that the citizens of Mirabar have lined their pockets enough that they no longer wish to work. Contracts have gone out all over Faerun requesting even the most minor duties of escorting nobles to taverns simply for the company. And for many various reasons you all find yourself heading there. Is it for gold? To escape a troubled past? To find true love? Nefarious reasons? Let’s see together what type of story unfolds.
About me
I've been DMing for a long time now and I switch back and forth between the role of player and DM (sometimes its good to get perspective and ideas from other amazing DMs out there). My style has involved other the years from being focused on building out comprehensive dungeons to detailed immersive stories weaving in character backgrounds into plots for the campaign. It is a collaborative story telling effort by the DM and the player. I'm not out to get you; you're not out to get me! End of the day we're here to make memories of the characters and NPCs we will grow to love/hate. I'm an open book so feel free to ask any questions you'd like as well! If you'd like to see a Tal'dorei game I run; enjoy this recorded session (https://youtu.be/mglgfj1ZtyQ).
Requirements
Here's the list if you haven't fallen asleep yet:
1) Be kind to all. The world already is a shitty place and we want to respect boundaries of the players and DM. It's okay to cancel and real life/family will always take priority over D&D. 2) Never take a personal. Sure an NPC might insult your character or those bandits may mug you; it's all a game. I'm not out to make your character miserable. Story telling is all about the journey and not the destination. 3) Reliable and steady voice/video/internet. The players I currently play with love the immersive feel of the webcam and voice. It makes it feel like we're all at the table together. It is critical that you have a reliable headset, webcam, and internet. 4) Have fun!
How to apply
You'll be required to use Discord (voice/video) and FoundryVTT. It is where we'll hold our sessions. To make sure you and I are on the same page, I need to personally request we have a friendly interview. You can reach out to me here (slow response) or Discord (faster response) TheDungyMastaJD#5017. We'll have a friendly chat over voice or video.
If the interview goes well and we're on the same page; I'll introduce you to the group for a chat (so far 2 guys and 1 lady; we'd really love another female at the table!)
Session 0. This is where things start to really kick off when we all meet as a group to introduce ourselves to each other. So important we talk and get red topics out of the way (we'll discuss more). Sessions usually run 3-4 hours.
