Seeking one 2nd level adventurer to join a campaign in progress! For the past several nights, drums have been heard on the wind, coming from the Twilight Marsh. Each morning, more turn up missing from the nearby farms, leaving only muddy, clawed footprints heading towards the marsh. Can you help find the lost and bring justice to the abductors?
Read through the rest of this post thoroughly, and if you are interested, follow the instructions to apply.
About The Adventure:
- Setting: The Forgotten Realms (Faerûn)
- This adventure is equal parts roleplay, combat, and exploration.
- "Drums in the Marsh" is the seventh part of a long running campaign. Games of this length typically take anywhere between 3-6 months to complete. Please do not apply if you believe there is a chance that you cannot commit to this length of time.
- You only need to commit to Drums in the Marsh. I do plan to roll forward into further adventures in this storyline, but you do not need to commit to that full length.
About The DM & House Rules:
- I run a number of campaigns on this site, and have many years of experience DMing both in person and online. I have run PbP adventures that last a few months, and some that have been ongoing for years. This particular adventure and its prequels have been in progress for 4 years.
- My fantasy writing influences are R.A. Salvatore, George R.R. Martin, and Terry Goodkind.
- My typical pace is to resolve actions and advance the adventure once each day or two. When you apply, please send me a PM that includes the word “Throstulgrael” to ensure the player I select is attentive to others' posts and reads them thoroughly.
- I want PbP to be simple and flow easily. To accomplish this, I do not use grids, and I use grouped initiative to reduce the need to wait on players to post in a specific order.
- I do not use any averages. All health and damage is rolled, for both players and monsters. All of my rolls are made using the forum dice roller for visibility.
- Characters can die in my campaigns. Though it has not happened often, I do not fudge rolls. Reckless actions (i.e., charging headlong into an army) do have realistic consequences.
How To Apply:
- If you are any less than absolute certain that you can commit to completing this adventure, please do not apply.
- Rolling for stats is preferred, but Standard Array and Point Buy are also accepted for determining ability scores. See below about guidelines on rolling.
- Reply to this thread or send me a PM with your application. Please include the 1) race/class you would like to play, 2) a short background summary, and 3) your method of determining ability scores (include rolls if rolling).
- All content used must be available to you through D&D Beyond. No Unearthed Arcana or homebrew will be accepted.
- If you are rolling for stats, those rolls must be made here or in a PM. Re-rolling your array will only be allowed if there are no ability scores above 13. There are no other exceptions. If you are not comfortable with that risk, please use the Standard Array or Point Buy. To make those rolls, use [ roll ] 4d6dl1 [ /roll ] (without the spaces). Do not re-roll 1s. I don't know if people do this accidentally or if they do it to try and sneak it by me, but it happens a lot. I do examine all rolls.
- Your character's backstory can be as light or heavy as you would like, but I will be working with you to tailor the backstory to the setting of this campaign, so be open to adjusting bits and pieces.
- To help ease your character into the story, your backstory should eventually answer three questions at a minimum (I can work on the specifics with you): 1) What brought you to the Moonsea Region and the city of Phlan, 2) Do you work for any of the five factions of the Forgotten Realms, and 3) Why are you searching for the missing farmers?
This spot has been filled, thank you to all of the applicants. As always I wish I could bring you all in. Best of luck in all your future games on the site!
