You are on the Dwarvish island of Baylor. For centuries Dwarf peasants and children who are unfortunate enough to be out late at night often disappear and the problem has become worse over time making even the cities unsafe. Within just the past few weeks the Princess of Baylor has been taken from the islands capital city Ar Toe. King Arman has offered fabulous riches to any hero or any group of heros who can bring back his only child unharmed.
High upon the shrouded Peaks of the island there is rumoured to be a palace with great riches inside. Some say it is a majestic Tomb built to house the remains of a shipwrecked Queen along with all her earthly possessions, many centuries ago. The Queen rose from the dead and sweeps the island at night looking for fresh blood. The road up into the mountains is steep and hard and no one who has dared venture up into the mountains to find the stronghold of the Vampire Queen is believed to have ever returned.
I'm planning on running a horror inspired 5E campaign throughout October as a Halloween themed game. If you think you have what it takes to rescue the Princess of Baylor from the evil forces that have been terrorising the island or plunder long forgotten riches from deep within the legendary mountain palace then send me a Private Message with an expression of interest.
I'm looking for no more than four players. No experience requirements. I would like to run the campaign using DnD Beyond and so obviously 5E rules, so you'll be expected to make a character sheet there and I will be setting up a private PBP thread in these forums.
Please feel free to ask any questions regarding anything I haven't covered and I will do my best to answer them clearly.
Adventure's I've published on DMs Guild: The Temple of Bhaal - A gothic horror themed "one-shot" single session adventure for 1st level characters. The Palace of Evendur - An ethereal fairy tale "one-shot" single session adventure for 1st level characters.
Times and dates are highly flexible as this is going to be a PBP game (Play By Post) so it will be played inside a private forum thread here and therefore not require individual members of the group to be online at the same time.
The game is planned to run throughout the month of October building up to Halloween and possibly beyond depending on how the Campaign progresses.
Races and Classes will be restricted to the Players Handbook and the Basic Rules for players. This is not a strict specification but more a recommendation, however, If someone has a character preference outside this scope then we can discuss this beforehand.

Hi there TalesOfRenown, thanks for the expression of interest. For posting we are hoping to have one post per character per day (only on the specified gaming days), with the availability of the characters currently in the campaign this would mean, posts would be expected on:
Monday
Tuesday
Thursday
Friday
So the pattern would be 2 days - 1 day off - 2 days - 2 days off. Is this something you could manage or are you strictly limited to every other day?

This campaign is still recruiting and almost ready to commence. I have 4 potential players and would like 5, however reserves will be welcome to be put on a waiting list to cover the possibility of dropouts.
