The travels of your party have brought you to Jalkive, the capital city of a small kingdom. The 4 members of your party are close companions, you trust and rely on teach other completely. In Jalkive, you plan to take a break from the rigors of adventure and spend some of the wealth that you have gathered.
While you relax at a local inn, chuckling with your companions over great exploits past, a hooded stranger slips quietly into a chair at your table. “I must speak with you”, he whispers, “on a matter of gravest urgency”.
This adventure will have a little role-playing, a little combat, but a lot of problem solving and searching. After all, you will be invading a powerful wizard’s summer home. I think you will find it exciting and fun.
I will be running the adventure on D&D Beyond and Discord (text only, on voice or video). I will need the players to use their Personal Computers instead of tablets because Beyond Maps works better on those devices.
There are two scenarios that are designed to be played, one after the other. Each scenario is not that long and should take only a few days to play each one. This is what I am looking for.
I am looking for mature players, hopefully someone 30 years old or more. There are a few mature themes and some encounters that only an older player “will get”.
I really welcome newer players. When I got started playing online, it was an intimidating experience. I almost quit because I did not know what I was doing, was afraid to ask questions, and felt like an idiot. It is quite a challenge to be selected for an adventure among several applicants. When I was finally selected for the first game, I learned so much from that DM that I want to do the same for the newer players coming in.
I am looking to host players this coming Wednesday and Thursday night, by which time we should conclude the First part of the adventure and I will start working on the Second part. If the group has good cohesion, I will carry them over to the Second part.
I have 4 Pre-generated 9th Level Characters that will be used. They are
If you want to submit your own 9th Level Character, I will consider it. The must-haves are a
FIGHTER (I will consider a PALADIN), a CLERIC, a WIZARD (I will consider a SORCEROR), and a ROGUE.
Races. If you want to submit your own character, here are the acceptable races. Human, Elf (Wood, High, or Half), Gnome (Forest or Rock), Dwarf, (Mountain or Hill), Halfling (Lightfoot or Stout). That’s it. No variants. Nothing else will be accepted.
At least one of the PC’s must be good. At least one of the PC’s must be evil. At least one of the PC’s must be neutral. Alignments will be distributed to selected players.
Use standard array when rolling skills
I don’t need a backstory, traits, flaws, history, or anything like that, unless you want to for your own character development.
Standard equipment. I will assign magic items at the start. Turn encumbrance on and allow gold weight. Encumbrance will be a factor in this adventure.
If you are interested and can make Wednesday and Thursday night, please reply in the post below. Please include
- your Discord name
- whether you are new or veteran (please be honest)
-Verify that you can play this Wednesday and Thursday night
-Which class you would like to play? Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, or Rogue
-Let me know if you will take a pre-made character or submit your Beyond Character sheet
-Tell me a little about yourself (not the character)
Thank you for reading this post. Good luck during the selection process. If this goes well, I plan on running it again for another 4 players soon.
Hey GLOV, I appreciate you submitting your character. Would you reconsider your submission? A Dhampir would not play well with what I am trying to do. Please re-submit using one of the races I listed in my post. Thanks.
started playing (again) about 1 year ago, mostly AL
Wed and Thu are perfect for me (wife and kids will be on a road trip and I’ll have the house to myself. And I’m CST as well.
I’d be open to any of the characters. Mostly played martial characters (barbarian and fighter). Played some low level cleric and warlock.
Engineer in my 40’s though still a gamer. Used to play D&D in my teens. Then last summer my son (13) wanted to start playing, so we started doing AL at a local game shop. I tried to start a regular home game a while back, but started having problems scheduling sessions and people canceling so we disbanded. Only ever played in person, but I love dndbeyond and get my kicks out of making new characters. Would love to get into playing online, but a little intimidated by it.
Hi. I'm ready to play if there are slots available. I'd like to play a halfling Rogue with a neutral alignment. Most of my experience is with in person 1e TTRp. This will be my 4th outing in online gaming. My discord is Sgrhoads63. Thanks, Scott R.
Thank you for replying. Sorry, but I must turn down the goliath. The reason is that, for this adventure, I'm going "old school" because the adventure is old school (from the 1980's) and I am trying to adapt it to 5th Edition. The original adventure calls for 8 Pre-made characters that had to be used and I am modifying it to 4 slightly stronger characters. I am trying to balance the adaptation and I think that a Dhampir, or a Goliath, or a Dragonborne, etc. would tip the scales too far. I would be happy to see your human character. Right now, we have FIghter/Paladin and Wizard/Sorcerer availalble.
I am willing to go with the pre-made character for the wizard and set it's alignment to evil my buddy has Invited me to this epic adventure and will be happy to accept being an alternate and eager to play.
Wizardmain01 is the discord
I'm 24 years old have been playing for quite a while. Pretty desensitized due marine corps family so those certain things you said I'd be accepting of. I'm an easy going get into character type of player. I usually spend my free time doing campaigns with friends or listening to music. Not bothered by cursing or any other "flagarant" type of behavior.
I can play for both Wednesday and Friday and look forward to being able to be DMed by an experienced player such as yourself
If there is any pre-made changes you need for the wizard let me know on discord, I'll happily change things around to fit your narrative.
Thank you for responding, Wizardmain01. We are still looking for an Evil Wizard and I am looking at you and the friend of another player.
Thank you for the kind words. I have several years of experience, but I am weak with Discord (getting better) and I am learning more about Beyond.
If you want to know more about the Pre-made character, go to Beyond, look for the Create a Character section and select the Pre-made characters. There is a group of 9th Level Pre-made characters there and check out a Gnome Wizard named Rustle Berrydust. Let me know if you can work with him and make him EVIL.

Thanks for posting sgrhoads63. I'm happy to hear that you are willing to to play a Rogue. I will let you know.
