2. Playstyle & Vibe Checks
The Collaborative Sandbox: How do you feel when the DM hands the reins to the party and says, "What do you want to explore next?" How do you usually contribute to group decision-making?
Character & Romance: What is your comfort level with character-driven RP and romancing NPCs/developing deep ties with campus figures? What makes a character dynamic fun for you?
Genre Mashups: This campaign shifts from university hijinks to psychological cosmic dread, and eventually to high-concept space-faring adventures. How do you handle sharp tone shifts in a game?
3. Quick Scenario Challenge
Your character discovers a strange, pulsing anomaly in a secluded wing of the campus library. It seems linked to a missing student, but attending tonight's major campus festival is critical for your favorite club's standing. What is your character's immediate instinct, and how do you loop in another party member?
1. Player Info & Basics
Name/Pronouns: Space (Any/All Prns) — I want to add I’m 20, not 21, I know 21 is the age limit but I wanted to submit an application anyway since I turn 21 in like half a year but obviously if the boundary is set in stone I get it!!
D&D 5e Experience: 3+ years, including both in-person and online campaigns
Comfort with Dark Themes: I’m cool with them!! Currently in a campaign where one of the main inspirations was the Outlast series so I’m pretty used to darker themes anyway LMAO, as long as it’s not all doom and gloom
2. Playstyle & Vibe Checks
The Collaborative Sandbox: I‘m gonna need completely honest I struggle a LOT with decision-making and get choice fatigue really quickly (I’m neurodivergent) so I’m pretty much always happy to just go along with what the rest of the party wants!
Character & Romance: I‘ve never done PC and PC romance before but I HAVE done PC and DMPC romance if that counts? Not entirely sure how I feel about PCxPC since I’ve never done it but anything else I’m pretty cool with as long as it’s discussed and preplanned, I don’t like random NPCs hitting on my characters. That being said I absolutely adore party dynamics and making relationships with the rest of the party and NPCs alike, be warned I get emotionally attached very quickly.
Genre Mashups: I‘m cool with it! As long as there’s time to blend into each tonal shift and it’s not just violent whiplash all the time where we can never settle.
3. Quick Scenario Challenge
(This could change depending on what sort of character I play, but I’ll just pick the first idea that comes to mind)
Adventure (and rescuing the missing student, of course) is far more important than the club. They’d explore this anomaly instead, likely convincing another party member from the same club to come with them (so they’re not the only one missing out) and hope that solving the anomaly and hopefully rescuing the missing student would give them far more school credit than the campus festival ever could.
Just for clarity, it is romancing NPCs. (Players always have full agency on their decisions)! There's always a session zero with me as a DM to talk more about veils/lines (or the X/O cards).
1. Player Info & Basics
Name/Pronouns: Izzy She/Her
D&D 5e Experience: 0 gameplay experience, but I watch a lot of gameplays, my boyfriend is a DM so I won't have to bring all of my questions to you :)
Comfort with Dark Themes: No problem with dark themes, as long as no one is offended when i inevitably make jokes about the dark themes
2. Playstyle & Vibe Checks
The Collaborative Sandbox: HECK YEAH, I love roleplay heavy gameplay and have wanted to try a sandbox campaign. given that I don't have any experience playing I can guess how I am going to play but I don't really know
Character & Romance: yes please, again these are hard for me to answer as I haven't exactly found my playstyle yet but I love the idea of being able to romance an npc or at least try to XD
Genre Mashups: I think that is quite perfect for me, it allows me to explore multiple genres within one campaign, LOVE IT
3. Quick Scenario Challenge
Immediate instinct would be to pocket it, my character would bring it with me to the campus festival, tell my party members to meet me somewhere after and show it to them to discuss further plans, my hope would be that they may have found something similar or they have some level of insight that I don't.
LOL i reread it and can't tell if it is an object or the location itself. if its the location i will approach it and see what happens, try to collect information, and depending on outcome, bring available party member(s) to the location after the campus festival and try to explain what I saw if it's not still happening.
