ENTHUSIASTIC HEAVILY INVESTED PLAYERS
With lots of free time to talk about the game throughout the week
Players that are confidentin the rules
EPIC ADVENTURE
(Levels 1 - unlimited)
"Deadly, Deep Lore, Political, Romantic, Funny, Surprising, Devastating, Heroic, exploring Dungeons, Caves, Crypts, Keeps, Castles, and Lead Armies, Discover Artifacts, Build a Business, Brew Potions, Craft Items, Sail the Seas, Start a Family, Travel Thru Planes, Be a Legend"

The GM
I'm creative, passionate, excited, energetic, professional, open, honest, generous, family man, attentive, respectful, helpful, funny, on time, reliable, enthusiastic, easy goin, and intense.
I've been a GM for 40+ years
I spend a lot of hours every day on writing/making maps/making NPC's/ect. (Highly motivated after reading the roleplay chat in discord)
I almost never cancel sessions (a family surprise event/illness) /never flake/never late/never no-show/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 GM style is FAST with a mix of RP and combat (60/40) "I try and stay out of the players way"
I perform many different voices (accents/tone/pitch/volume/ect) to give each of the thousands of NPC's a uniqueness.
I use sound effects for monsters/people/instruments/ect and ambient backgrounds unique to locations
Balanced Ruleset for Fair Play
Decades of (on-going) playtesting...
RULES are 5E with a mix of 4E, 3E, 2E, 1E
This is a "grittier" game - leveling will be slower and gaining a level is based off of accomplishments NOT xp
Leveling can only be done with a trainer of higher level...at a city/town/druid encampment/temple/ect...or with a wandering trainer/NPC/ect
Use critical hit/fail charts for melee/range/spell
Use lingering effects charts for being hit with a critical hit
INITIATIVE is handled automatically (speeds up the game tremendously) - Adds your bonuses thru macros Roll20 Coding API's
When LOOKING FOR CLUES and SECRET DOORS - ROLL INVESTIGATION (roll once for an entire map/level/floor in a dungeon/castle/cave/ect) for traps/secret doors) - (Roll again for each individual chest/ect)
This game DOES NOT USE PASSIVE PERCEPTION (If your character is near something important that your Investigation missed/you'll be asked to roll a perception roll)
Rolling a 1 is ALWAYS A FAILURE
Rolling a 20 is ALWAYS A SUCCESS
DEATH SAVES are "whispered"
Rolling a Nat 20 on a save vs a spell, grants temporary immunity from that spell, for just that casting. (It goes for the PC's and the enemies)
USING TOOLS: If a NAT 1 is rolled, and not proficient, the tool breaks.
Certain curses, poisons, spells, diseases, disorders, ect...HAVE HIGH LEVEL DC'S (which may not be revealed with an identify spell casted by a lower level caster, but they can be researched for a cure) "Remove curse doesn't remove a 1,000 year old ancient unknown magical curse...but it gives clues"
Please have a Role Playing Voice
"Your character's voice...not your normal"
Please Stay in character as much as possible (text GM questions during session)
Please don't say, " ......... is going to attack" in your normal voice
Instead please say, "I am going to attack" in your character's voice
Please ROLEPLAY YOUR CHARACTER'S STATS...not your own (example: 10 Intelligence is average [not overly clever, not overly inventive, not overly smart, ect])
MONSTERS ARE NOT SCALED TO YOUR LEVEL
LOOKING FOR COLLABORATOR PLAYERSNOT 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".
CREATING THE FEAR IN THE DARK
"Do you want to be truly scared in the dark? Not able to see past your (held) light source?"
Weakened Find Familiar Spell / Companions / Pets / Ect, to help accomplish this
LIGHT SPELLS ONLY FOR OPPOSING DARKNESS SPELLS - please (no Dancing Lights/Light spells cast on objects then thrown continuously/Mage Hand spell holding torches ahead/ect) - "For the fear effect"
No continuously"SPAMMING"THROWING TORCHES/LIGHT SPELLS/ECT

Conjuration Limit - All creatures and players can only summon 1 creature at a time (to speed up combat)
Companions/Familiars - They do not roll initiative and do not get actions..."They are not another party member"
Using a potion is a bonus action (giving it to someone else is an action)
Use (homebrew) flanking: Only the attacker from behind gets advantage
Reloading crossbows is a bonus action
Track encumbrance (can't exceed your max)

Use spell components and please RP casting and description
No PVP (unless under an enemies spell)
Track (magic only) ammo
The GUIDANCE SPELL CANTRIP can only be used twice per long rest
Using a NET always gives disadvantage. Either within 5 feet (ranged attacks from 5ft have disadvantage), or outside the "near" range (disadvantage.)...because the net is a limited ranged martial weapon.
The MINOR ILLUSION SPELL CANTRIP can only be used twice per long rest
After being revivified, raised from the dead, or resurrected...the player subtracts 2 points of constitution, then rolls on a madness chart (long term/indefinite - random table roll)
HARVESTING CREATURE REMAINS - used for creating potions/poisons, enchanting items, ect - just add it to your equipment and learn recipes from books/treasure/apothecary store/ect, then using an herbalist kit or alchemist kit (proficiency with these kits are required), make a DC check based on the type (full chart listed in an apothecary store/traveling merchant/library's)
THE JOURNEY HAPPENS ON A SHIP/HORSE/CARRIAGE/WALK
No planar traveling spells / no magic long distance traveling spells / no magic long distance communication spells (no sending...ect)
Please NO META-GAMER'S / NO MIN-MAXER'S / NO POWER GAMER'S / NO MURDER HOBO'S

Be respectful and nice
Do not say, "Here comes the TPK" / "The GM is trying to kill us" / "You're going to kill me" (It is NOT the GM vs Players)
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"
SHARE THE EXPERIENCE - Engaged is awesome...but everyone has to speak the same amount
NO YELLING OR GETTING ANGRY AT PLAYERS
TALKING instead of fighting (rolling persuasion/insight/performance/intimidation/ect) may garner greater rewards
PLAYERS TEXT IN BETWEEN GAME SESSIONS IN THE DISCORD EVERYDAY
(Still "joint story-telling", just in the discord ROLE PLAY CHAT until next session)
Please make a character that "Wants to go on adventures" and "Enjoys working with others in groups"

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?
ILLUSION SPELLS: When an illusion spell is cast, the victim(s) immediately roll an INVESTIGATION CHECK to see if they believe it. If they fail to match the spellcasters DC (who gained a +1 bonus per level of the spell), the victim believes the illusion, and acts accordingly.

Hello! I am interested in joining your campaign. Very interested actually, I think you've made something really special here and I see the passion and effort you put into it. I would love to be a part of it. If you still have open slots then please contact me from my discord 'groovyoogaa1983' so we can discuss a few things about the campaign and see if I am good fit to join, provided you are still looking for players. Thank you for reading and thank you for time. Have a good Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or Night.
Hiyas there, read through everything and wanted to drop my name into the hat, that is if the hat is still being passed around. I do like to character build, it is one of my fav things to do for DND. I will send you a DM with my discord handle as with an question or two about the game.
Hope to hear from you soon and if you are full, I would still love to come in and see what you have created, I do love to see a good, well crafted game!
Would be interested in living in this world with you. My name's Nate and I always like to be a part of team orientated groups where we work through the obstacles. I can play any of the classes and I always love having a character flaw in my avatars to play up for realism. Speaking of realism, love the fact that your world is a more gritter feel.
I'd like to throw my name in the ring if possible. Been doing dnd as a dm for friends for around 2 years and after reading the whole post this seems like an awesome campaign to be a part of. My discord is ( bigjammes ) feel free to reach out any time!
Holy shit this is exactly what I have been looking for ! Granted, I would like to say that I may need a bit of help understanding a lot of this information but DEFINANTLY willing to play!
Yikes! You have a lot of applicants! On the off chance you look at me, I was here to start my own group, but you do look awesome! I would love to be a player and run my lifelong character.
-DM for +30 years, tired of it, just want to play.
-Plenty of time and willing to help out.
-Established character with literally novels of backstory.
Although I am quite an inexperienced player compared to your time in the game(I have only been playing for 3-4 years), I still believe I would love to join this campaign. I love to roleplay and I get very into it. I am always thinking about new ideas for D&D all throughout my day. I really hope that there are still open slots but if there are or aren't please let me know @Dfrog07 on discord. I am very excited to hear back from you and I thank you for this opportunity. I would also like to ask what program would be used, D&D beyond/Roll20/etc...
Hey there, I'm interested to play as a player. Always looking for campaigns that emphasise the roleplaying and story aspect when playing together. I've played for a few years. I have little experience with roll20 but can learn. I do have lots experience with discord. My discord user is mysty_bunny , so feel free to contact me if you like.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Cat lover. Tea lover. Fantasy story lover. Queer. She/Her.
I love playing as a player and DM. My favourite thing about DnD is the story and roleplay aspect of it. So if you're playing with me, expect a lot of that!
Although I am not extremely experienced in Roll20 as in used it for a long time, but I am very experienced in discord. I am still looking to play and have a good time.
Very interested in playing, 30yr player and DM. Currently DM offline game every 2 weeks on Fri or Sat nights. We do use DDB roll20 and discord for in-between sessions online occasionally for heavy RP non combat sessions. Just looking to get into a game as a player myself. Have all kinds of voices and I am open to play any class. dolomite725 on Discord
I've been playing DnD for 15 years and this looks just like the type of adventure / challenge I'd like to be part of. Still looking for players? My Discord is zipoone.
Hey, I would be interested. I have only played in one long-term campaign but I do like to spend my free time reading anything about so I am very familiar with all the rules. I much prefer a game that has much more of a heavy roleplay element. I know many other players are extremely interested in this game due to its incredible looks, but I would still be incredibly grateful to be considered.
I am interested in joining. But i give you two "heads up". I have an idea for a character that i want to play. (A deeply religious nature worshipper Ranger) and 7 pm PST is 4 in the morning for me so i will not get up that early without a good reason. ;)
Reply to me on here on Beyond or on Discord ErichTalon.

Yikes! You have a lot of applicants! On the off chance you look at me, I was here to start my own group, but you do look awesome! I would love to be a player and run my lifelong character.
-DM for +30 years, tired of it, just want to play.
-Plenty of time and willing to help out.
-Established character with literally novels of backstory.
Although I am quite an inexperienced player compared to your time in the game(I have only been playing for 3-4 years), I still believe I would love to join this campaign. I love to roleplay and I get very into it. I am always thinking about new ideas for D&D all throughout my day. I really hope that there are still open slots but if there are or aren't please let me know @Dfrog07 on discord. I am very excited to hear back from you and I thank you for this opportunity. I would also like to ask what program would be used, D&D beyond/Roll20/etc...
Hey there, I'm interested to play as a player. Always looking for campaigns that emphasise the roleplaying and story aspect when playing together. I've played for a few years. I have little experience with roll20 but can learn. I do have lots experience with discord. My discord user is mysty_bunny , so feel free to contact me if you like.

I love playing as a player and DM. My favourite thing about DnD is the story and roleplay aspect of it. So if you're playing with me, expect a lot of that!
Although I am not extremely experienced in Roll20 as in used it for a long time, but I am very experienced in discord. I am still looking to play and have a good time.
I'd be interested my discord is BSpeasy. And have you picked a day and time
Very interested in playing, 30yr player and DM. Currently DM offline game every 2 weeks on Fri or Sat nights. We do use DDB roll20 and discord for in-between sessions online occasionally for heavy RP non combat sessions. Just looking to get into a game as a player myself. Have all kinds of voices and I am open to play any class. dolomite725 on Discord
Hi
I've been playing DnD for 15 years and this looks just like the type of adventure / challenge I'd like to be part of. Still looking for players?
My Discord is zipoone.
Hey, I would be interested. I have only played in one long-term campaign but I do like to spend my free time reading anything about so I am very familiar with all the rules. I much prefer a game that has much more of a heavy roleplay element. I know many other players are extremely interested in this game due to its incredible looks, but I would still be incredibly grateful to be considered.
I am a 19 male btw if that matters.
Thank you for your consideration.
discord is patchy909
I am interested in joining. But i give you two "heads up". I have an idea for a character that i want to play. (A deeply religious nature worshipper Ranger) and 7 pm PST is 4 in the morning for me so i will not get up that early without a good reason. ;)
