OOC: Time to start the campaign! (I'm going to start it here but if I am meant to start a different thread please let me know!)
In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker asked you to bring a wagonload of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days' travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Hallwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business."
You've spent the last few days following the High Road south from Neverwinter, and you've just recently veered east along the Triboar Trail.
You've encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous. Bandits and outlaws have been known to lurk along the trail.
OOC: Please introduce your characters. Also, who is driving the wagon and who is walking alongside? Feel free to roleplay a bit.
Ooc: I think either way is ok. Is it alright with everyone if Seraphine drives the wagon? She has proficiency in animal handling and land vehicles from her background, so might as well use it lol.
I think starting a new thread can be nice so it just has the story without the recruitment stuff taking the first couple pages, and it avoids spamming anyone else not involved with notifications if they haven’t unsubscribed from this thread, but it’s not a requirement. Another thing you might consider setting up is an OOC group message for discussing things (like who’s driving) to keep the campaign thread mostly story-focused. Also not a requirement, but I believe it’s a fairly common practice and just wanted to mention it since I think you said this was your first time running a PBP ;) ]]
Bummer, I was at work. Oh well, thanks for your consideration.

[[ Yep sounds good on the cart.

OK! Here is the new thread: Lost Mine of Phandelver. I will start a group message for OOC stuff as well.
