Hello, I'm running a few LGBTQ+ friendly campaigns and need some more players!  I'm the DM Joe and I'm excited to make your acquaintance!  If you have any questions feel free to ask me here in the thread!

Game style: 
We're running a roleplay focused campaign with the regular rest rules. Between all my campaigns we have all of the Beyond content available for use, and are actively using the bonus activities for downtime from the extra sourcebooks as well as the extra battle actions from the DMG (except mark).  Homebrew is welcome if it is reasonable as well.  Each player runs through the Exandrian Heroic Chronicle character builder with me so we have allies and a good backdrop for characters!  

I'm compiling a shared document for players to reference as well.  Furthermore we can have a mini session zero at the start of the first session for people to get to know one another and talk about boundaries and hard limits and what not.

Play takes place on Foundry VTT and we speak on my community discord server. 

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, look forward to meeting everyone!  Thank you for your time!

Players joining the campaign in-progress (we aren't very far in) will be starting at level four.

If anybody wants to join even after this is closed, we are going to be running West Marches style content soon as well. Just post your discord name here and I"ll see ya and bring you in as a reserve on the server if needs be.  We're having people drop from time to time and I ask the server first for players to fill in!

----

We will be playing Call of the  Netherdeep.  The campaign starts at level 3, players are currently level 4. Read the notes below for flavor and party mechanic details on the start of the adventure!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This adventure begins in the territory of Xhorhas, where most humans are nomads; most elves are drow who live aboveground; dwarves and halflings are rare; and goblinoids, orcs, lizardfolk, kobolds, and other creatures sometimes seen as “monstrous” elsewhere are more populous than gnomes and dragonborn.

• Charcters begin this adventure familiar with each other.
• "Are they using Jigow as a rest stop on their way elsewhere, are they residents of Jigow, or some combination of the two?"
• Use the Hero Chronicle to build a charcter if you aren't familiar with the setting of Exandria: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/egtw/character-options-subclasses#HeroicChronicle
• Consider these questions when building your character:
  
  • What’s one small heroic deed you’ve already accomplished?
  • Do you give your trust easily, or do people have to earn your trust?
  • What’s one thing you want more than anything else? How will being an adventurer help you achieve it?

Keep in mind that races such as bugbear, duergar, goblin, hobgoblin, kobold, lizardfolk, minotaur, and orc are appropriate choices for players who want their characters to come from cultures or societies with roots in Xhorhas.  (not all are released with monsters of the multiverse but we can manually add the details if you want to play a race we don't have yet)

Use Wildemount charcter options here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/egtw/character-options
>ask if you want to be a Hollow one so we don't have too many

Use the Heroic Chronicle to give your character a setting appropriate backstory for the world: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/egtw/character-options-subclasses#HeroicChronicle
>When you get to the Fateful Encounters section of this character builder, have the DM be present for the rolls.

What the Characters Know
Characters begin the adventure knowing the following facts, which you can share with the players as they create their characters.

Kryn Dynasty. The Kryn Dynasty is the dominant nation in Xhorhas. It was founded by a drow queen named Leylas Kryn, who fled the Underdark and the tyrannical rule of Lolth the Spider Queen along with her disciples. The Bright Queen still rules the dynasty centuries later, and its cities contain more than just drow. Orcs, goblinoids, tieflings, humans, and many others call the cities of the dynasty their home. Countless more denizens of the dynasty are nomads who roam the wastes in clans, hunting mastodons and other Xhorhasian megafauna.

Jigow. This coastal settlement is actually a string of villages that are home to a collection of folk from all over Xhorhas. Goblin and orc clans founded Jigow, which explains why the settlement is governed by two elders—a goblin and an orc. The Aurora Watch (the military arm of the Kryn Dynasty) maintains a presence here, under the command of a drow called Taskhand Durth Mirimm.

Townsfolk tend to be competitive, and friendly rivalries are commonplace. Most of Jigow’s residents live in a central region called the Jumble.

The Luxon. The official deity of the Kryn Dynasty, whose symbol appears on the nation’s heraldry, is the Luxon. This mysterious divine entity of light and rebirth has granted its faithful several esoteric secrets, the greatest of which is consecution—the act of preparing one’s soul for rebirth. Through consecution, some people within the Kryn Dynasty have lived many lifetimes, often in bodies different from the ones they were first born in. In the sequence of consecution, a drow might become a goblin, then be reborn as a bugbear, then an orc, and so on—all the while gaining greater knowledge about the world through their experiences. This process has no mechanical benefit, but players can make consecution and rebirth an interesting part of their characters’ back stories.

If a follower of the Luxon who has undergone the ritual of consecution dies within 100 miles of a Luxon beacon, their soul is ensnared by it and reincarnated within the body of a random Humanoid newborn within 100 miles of the beacon.

This sounds great to me, I'm Joe, 24 years old from from the UK, currently studying so lots of free time. I have some experience playing and have tried my hand at DMing but can still be fuzzy on game mechanics sometimes, that said, in regular combat and martial classes I tend to know what Im doing! I'd love to join if the slot on sunday is still free? Discord is joesuth13#9652
