D&D Beyond
Game: D&D 5e Homebrew Campaign in an original setting.
Group type: Online - Preferably through Discord.
Experience: All players welcome! New players included! I have been DMing for friends and family for years, and I am happy to help new players learn!
Location/Timezone: EST
Schedule: Weekend sessions in the evenings. May vary on which day of the weekend and time works best for everyone.
Roles sought: Looking for 4-5 players.
Game style: A roughly balanced mix between role play, adventure, and combat. There will be some custom creatures and settings, so we may have to adjust things on the fly, but I strongly focus on making sure that my players are having a good time, and everyone gets to do their fair share of what they enjoy.
RULES:
Campaign Setting: A large chain of islands known as the Lost Isles off the coast of a large continental country known as the Golden Empire. The Lost Isles and the Empire are separated by a vast sea known as the Wasting Waters. They have only been discovered in the last few decades by the Greywing Shipping Company, whose merchant caravan was carried far off coarse by a large storm and shipwrecked on the largest of the islands, later named Goldfall. It is in the largest city of the new settlements there that you will start your journey, arriving to the port city Fairpoint, the original area the merchant fleet ran aground and survived for months before making their way back to the Empire. You all will be passengers on the ship known as the Errant Osprey, a transport ship that brings settlers and adventurers from the Empire who wish to travel to the Isles to seek freedom, adventure, and a fresh start.
Lore & World Restrictions: This is a High Fantasy setting. Modern technology and weapons are largely absent, though there are some magical replacements that may exist. Magic is common throughout the lands. Some customization and even homebrew spells and skills may be allowed, but we need to make sure things stay balanced. I'm even open to new classes if we talk about them, and agree that you may be nerfed at any time we notice an imbalance making things a little too OP. (I.e. No playing as an immortal demon king reincarnated with massive amounts of magical knowledge and experience. And no level 1 war enders. Sorry! :p)
discord is foxyfoxy#4432 interested in your game
Character Idea: a paladin looking for work, for a start depending on the allowed races.
Im free mostly at all times
Im new to all of this play style and experience levels
Ideas not at moment
Get out of this a better understanding on the game
Anyone wishing to join, please apply with the following:
Character Idea: This can be an existing class and race, or even something custom if we talk about it first. I have many custom races that will be present throughout the campaign, so don't be afraid to ask!
Your availability: At least a rough estimate. Most sessions will be on weekends with potential for bonus sessions at random that will always be optional.
Discord Tag: This one is self explanatory. :D
Your favorite play style: Do you like role play, hack and slash, dungeon crawl, puzzles and riddles? Help me understand how to build the most enjoyable game for you.
Your experience level: This is not a determining factor on whether you join or not, it just helps me plan ahead on pacing, difficulty, the amount of time that will need to be spent on rules and etc.
An interesting idea you would like to see in a campaign: The great thing about homebrew is that most of this is being made up on the fly to suit the setting I have developed in my mind. You can be a part of that too! Never be afraid to suggest something that may help improve the story!
What you would like to get out of this campaign: I'm hoping to run this campaign for a long time to come for example. I want to expand upon the world that I have given birth to in my mind, and share the creation and expansion of that world with a new group of friends. Tell me what it is you hope to get out of this campaign so we can make sure we're all on the same page! :)
Any other questions comments, or concerns you would like to share with me?
Apologies, you posted before I could finish the applications post. :D Please see post #3 above. Thanks!
lol i edited for you
Hey there, I'm interested in joining this campaign. The requested notes are below. Let me know what you think!
Character Idea: An elderly martial artist (monk) seeking to master a style of combat art in tune with the crashing waves of his home town. Motivation: achieve higher understanding through martial art and heal a psychological wound left by the loss of his family. (Combo of Bang from OPM and Master Roshi)
- I'd love to homebrew some custom fighting style ideas like a mode where he purposefully fights one handed decreasing AC but increasing unarmed damage.
Your availability: I can set aside time on a weekend day with regularity and can communicate throughout the week on a tentative basis.
Discord Tag: PENDING
Your favorite play style: I like balanced play styles but usually find myself resorting to combat scenarios.
Your experience level: I'm familiar with most basic rules details and play notes and am beginning to expand into other areas of the game. I'm probably semi-experienced on paper but I'd still call myself a beginner as I don't have a lot of rp group experience. I do experiment with writing my own campaigns based on character ideas.
An interesting idea you would like to see in a campaign: Something to work with could be different guardian beasts that live on each of the lost isles and can be conquered and claimed as a source of power to imbue in a weapon or ability.
What you would like to get out of this campaign: I love fantasy world-building and would love to get to flex that muscle while playing the game.
Discord: Trex#3659
Experience: Lots of experience online and in real life. Mostly 5E.
Character Idea: Paladin or Cleric. I am flexible and enjoy playing a variety.of characters
Availibility: Some Fridays, All Saturdays, Some Sundays
Idea: I like puzzles and long running puzzles that requires the party to find and or fix things. Like, the world is broken and we are there to fix it.
Character Idea: Kobold/Artificer - Armorer. He's supposed to be a dragon. He was born a kobold instead. Well screw dragons then. I'll just make myself one. (He's creating his armor to make himself a dragon or dragonlike) Stupid dragons. Gonna killem all.
Your availability: Open weekends. All day
Discord Tag: Eskamick
Your favorite play style: I like it balanced. I love all aspects of the game from roleplaying, combat and puzzle solving.
Your experience level: I'm newish. I've been out for more than 20 years. I've played one game recently and didn't have any issues with anything.
An interesting idea you would like to see in a campaign: For my character I'd like to be able to homebrew some things to make my char more dragonlike. As far as the campaign in general I'd like to see a big battle or something. Never really done one of those.
What you would like to get out of this campaign: I'm looking for a good group. Doesn't matter what we play or how. Good group fixes everything.
Character Idea: Half-Elf Warlock with a celestial patron
Your availability: Currently, whenever is best preferably around 6 or 7 est
Discord Tag: Dark Fatom#7158
Your favorite play style: Not really sure yet, I would be interested in some role play, escape from nine hells, and/ or dungeon crawler
Your experience level: This would be my first ever game. I got into DnD a week ago and was interested in playing ever since. I read and understand the basic rules. I built a character and spell sheet, just waiting to get more information from a DM to do my background.
An interesting idea you would like to see in a campaign: I would like to see my character slowly turn away from the celestials and find a new patron. I think this would add an interesting arc to to my character and allow me to explore another patron and its abilities.
What you would like to get out of this campaign: Experience is at the top of my list as well as just a fun time while trying a new thing.
Character Idea: Eldritch Knight(Fighter subclass)- Fire Genasi who is seeking knowledge surrounding runic magic thats etched into his arm.
Your availability: on weekdays anytime after 7pm est but on weekends anytime works
Discord Tag: price0ffreedom
Your favorite play style: I love the Rp side of any game, learning new characters and fostering bonds with my party mates, also i tend to like tense situations that require tough choices to be made whether in combat or in conversation.
Your experience level: I’m still fairly new I have a basic understanding to all of the mechanics in 5e but I’ve only been playing for a year
An interesting idea you would like to see in a campaign: Hmmmm maybe a Kenku mail delivery service. You pay a local mailer kenku to deliver parcels to someone far away aand they would receive the parcel within 2 days and you could call the service Avian😅
What you would like to get out of this campaign: A long term campaign thats fun and where i can make memories and share fun times with people.
Very interested! I sent a DM. Hopefully there's a spot for me to talk more about the possibility of joining and getting to know potential teammates at the table
With that our party is full!
