Hi! My name CaptainKosa. I have been working on a new homebrew campaign for 500+ hours: A battle of Gods. It will take place in my homebrewed world called Safiria. I believe the campaign is close to ready, and so I have now started looking for players. I am looking for up to 8 adventurers to form a party. The campaign will take place online every Sunday from 15-19+ (GMT). I have created a discord server and intend to use discord, DnD Beyond and roll20. I live in Norway (EU), in regards to servers.
I am looking for players of 18+, as I would like to run the campaign fairly open to everything the players would like to do. I am looking for friendly, open minded and committed players.
I am looking to make this a long time running campaign. Where we can go on adventures together, make new experiences and hopefully some new friends. Therefore, even though I will not expect players to be committed from session 1, I want those who want to join to be open for a long campaign.
As for new players: I have no problem teaching new players the ropes of DnD. I can be patient and let you take your time to find your legs during the first few sessions. However, my experience has been that new players have a way higher drop out ratio than experienced ones. Therefore, I expect new player to show commitment early. Have a character ready to go. If you are accepted in to the group, use the group chat, ask questions to the more experienced players and consume some DnD content on your spear time. In short; stay active, show the group that you are committed.
The handout for the campaign is posted below.
Player requirements: - At least 18 years old. - Decent mic and English. - Able to run DnD Beyond, Discord and Roll20. - Must be open to play in a group with ppl from any country, with any religion, race, sexual identity and so on.

Safiria - A Battle of Gods
The Curse of Zar
28 years ago a darkness started spreading from the north. The darkness contains monsters devouring everything within it. The darkness is constantly expanding covering more and more of Safiria (the world).
The Gods
The Curse of Zar has changed the veil between gods and the creatures living in Safiria. While some gods seem to be unable or unwilling to interact with the creatures living here, other have grown ever closer and are often intervening in Safiria. The most prominent of these gods are:
Zar – The god of darkness, destruction and gluttony.
Zalim – Zalim looks as all life as valuable. Everyone is of equal worth and everyone should help those in need even if the cost to your self would be great. If everybody help everyone and shared everything Safiria would be a better place and there would be enough resources to go around.
Drakim – Nothing is given, nothing is free, and everyone needs to work for what they want. It is each individual’s responsibility to provide for yourself first and fore most and then those you love.
Thanatos – Due to several instances of creatures that have died not staying dead. Thanatos has taken an interest in Safiria and to keep those who have died dead.
Esmeralda
There are rumors going far and wide about the city Esmeralda. A city where some of the greatest mages and fighter in the world have gathered and now lives. The city is known for rewarding capable people handsomely and to be a safe haven for refugees. Many have found their place in Esmeralda the last couple of years and the city is growing faster than anyone could have imagined.
Starting situations
Make your characters backstory using the backgrounds in 5E and supplement with your own writing. The story will start in or on the way to Esmeralda. There is two possible prologs:
You joined a caravan traveling to Esmeralda. The story picks up while you are traveling on the road. (Recommended for those who will be participating from session 1).
You already live in Esmeralda and the story picks up in Esmeralda where you meet the rest of the group. (Recommended for those who join in later on).
The Campaign
I wanted this world to have a similar feeling as to playing Fallout or Skyrim. Where there are sevral factions/ groups with different and opposing goals. And to let the players decide who they would like to support. The setting is more to the feel of classic DnD, with with high magic and low tech. Most of the work for this campaign has gone into building Esmeralda. Filling it with story rich characters, mysteries and intrigues. The Curse of Strahd adventure has been prepared in case the players would like a break from the busy streets of Esmeralda. Currently working on flashing out other minor locations in Safiria and one big secret yet to be discovered. The RP to combat ratio will be determined by the party.
Rules
D&D 5E will be the base rules for the campaign.
Nothing from 5E is banned (spells, feats etc.).
Group/ party size will be between 2-8 players. 6 is ideal.
When you have completed your character sheet and backstory, I intend to send you a personal document with some of the information your character would know based on his or her background.
We will use group milestone leveling. (The group level together at the end of a session after X amount of events/ tasks have been completed).
If a player has to miss a session, they will still get to level along with the party. They will however not be able to claim any of the loot the party might accurate during that session.
If a player misses several sessions they will receive a warning. If they keep missing sessions, their place in the party will be opened up for a new player to take it.
Resurrections might invoke the wrath of Thanatos, especially if the person has been dead for a long time and now belongs with the dead.
All homebrew content must be approved by DM.
Changing characters: The first few sessions will be a play testing phase. If you are unhappy with your character, all changes will be allowed between sessions. This phase ends when the party reaches level 3. After that point, characters can no longer freely change and will have to die or retire for the player to switch out their character with another one.
Point buy system will be used to distribute ability points.
If it is unclear for the DM if one character can reach another or not, when not using a map with squares to show distance, the ruling will be granted to the character that is trying to reach another. This goes for spells, melee, help actions and so on.
Enemies with low intelligence will most likely attack whomever they see first or is closest.
Enemies with higher INT will likely try to attack whoever is more optimal to take out.
Enemies will normally not priorities unconscious characters.
Good RP is rewarded with Inspiration.
If anyone have situations, acts or topics they would like the campaign to stay clear of based on their real-life values, faith or experiences. Give me a heads up on what topic that is and we will stay clear of those.
I appreciate feedback. Never hesitate to send me a message if you have something you would like to discuss. I will always interoperate feedback as you trying to help improve the overall experience for the group, and I will focus on not taking it personally.
I will interview players this week and hopfully have a session 0 the comming sunday. In case of a lack in responses i will postpone Session 0 untill we have a full group.
Hi there! This sounds like the start of a great campaign and I'm hoping for the opportunity to join! EU time zones work perfectly for me, living in South Africa.
Name: Vish Discord: not_blastoise#0814 Age: 29 Experience with DnD: About 14 years of D&D (and other tabletop RPGs) - I've played and DM'd, and tend to DM more these days so getting a chance to play in a homebrew campaign is exciting! What you are looking to get out of your DnD adventure: An overall good time. I like having the chance to interact with a new world and discover cool lore about the world itself and characters within them. The shared story-telling experience is what drew to me to D&D in the first place, so having the flexibility to not just follow the central plot that the DM has in mind but also achieve personal character goals is exciting. Also interacting with other players and their unique characters is always fun - whether its killing something together or bickering about the best course of action in a situation. In a nutshell - I like to get awesome experiences with invested people (including the DM) out of my D&D adventure.
this sounds amazing me and my friend are interested if you would be down to let us join
my name is plague 21yo i have been playing for about two years as for my friend his name is light 19yo he was playing 3rd edition but now I'm getting him into this kind of stuff and 5e in general he is kind of new to 5e me and him both play dnd for the adventure and fun and also being able to math. so yea message me on discord its plague#6666 and i will invite him to the chat or give his discord to you whichever works
Name : Prophet Discord: Prophet#4031 Age: 22 Experience with DnD: mostly watching others play have played a one-shot or 2, but I have a decent enough knowledge of the game and can keep track of my character for the most part What you are looking to get out of your DnD adventure: just a fun time and hopefully make some friends. i usually crate homebrew characters using stuff I found of the web and have attempted at making some of my own, so I hope that is okay. I also really like exploring the lore of worlds and getting to know some of the hidden secrets and the like. sorry im not sure what else to put hopefully this is enough for a consideration.
Hello, I was originally just looking for a group to join however the ideas you had on the handout really stood out to me, sounded like it could be a really fun and unique adventure. I am located in the United States however the time slots you gave would not be an issue for me on Sundays. Hope to hear from you.
Name: Wiley (or because of my name people call me Coyote) Discord: AsylumsJester#8555 Age:26 Experience with DnD: I have played DnD for about 4-5 years however for the past 3 years I have been primarily the DM. What you are looking to get out of your DnD adventure: I really enjoy the RP elements of how characters of different areas and backgrounds can mesh or clash against each others line of thinking because it allows for more ideas on how to progress rather then just the simple "we will kill them and move on" aspect. I have been the DM for several groups and sessions now that I would like to go back and try my hand as just a player. A big part as a character for me is investigating the world we have been brought to or go to and finding out the reasoning of what's going on rather then just going with the flow the whole time.
Hi, this seems like it'd be a blast, would be happy to talk more about whether I'd be a fit
Name (nickname works fine): You can call me by my tag or "Dazzle" if you want something simpler Discord: Omynamestoolon#7583 Age: 28 Experience with DnD: Couple of one-shots and a whole heap of research. So I'll likely have some questions, but won't be completely lost or need to be taught from the ground up What you are looking to get out of your DnD adventure: I really enjoyed the role-playing end of things on the one-shots and would love to find a way to integrate my character into the world (absolutely open to bouncing ideas back and forth on how to create some interesting dynamics/have character backgrounds "lead" to parts of your world you want to explore). One of the classes I was actually working up a character sheet for was a cleric which I think could lead to some really cool interplay with what sounds like a homebrew pantheon (although I'm 100% open to other builds to round out a party). I'm game to play in pretty much any party leaning (if people want to try to min-max etc. to create a really strong party, I'm down. If people want to explore much more flavorful/non-optimized versions of player characters I'm also very down with that, high combat/high exploration/die-hard survivalist whatever).
Name (nickname works fine): Peak Discord: Peakhill#0234 Age: 28 Experience with DnD: 1,5-2 years What you are looking to get out of your DnD adventure: Commited RPing, sharing in the telling of a great story, exploring character development and group dynamics.

Before that I've played some 5e oneshots from time to time and pathfinder 1e What you are looking to get out of your DnD adventure: I'd love to find myself in a world that i can explore, interact with, and maybe even mold to some extent through my characters actions. I very much enjoy challanges that force me to rack my brains be it puzzles, intrigue or difficult combat. I love it when the world i filled with characters (that includes PCs) with compelling stories and motivations and where nothing really is black and white.
Hi. John, thanks for replying. I have not used to many puzzels in my games. But I would be willing to give it a go if that is something the party would like. Intrigues and combat I can promis a vast variety of. I'll send you a DM and we can talk more details there. Happy to have you here.

I love both roleplay and combat aspects of DnD and used to just RP mainly on text based servers till a friend introduced me to the concept of DnD. I do enjoy the character growth and progression as well as world building. Also hosted several one shot homebrews as a DM myself and just love the storytelling. Me and a friend have been looking for something more stable and continuous to fill our appetite for DnD.
Hi. So we are still going. Just finished session 4. We could add 1 or 2 more players to the campaign. Shoot me a message if you're interested in joining.

I've honestly have always wanted to play dnd but I don't have friend who play so I didn't think it was possible.
