“Long ago after the disappearance of the Eladrin, the new races of the world emerged and spread throughout the world. One of those places is the continent of Nogardkrad. The lands of Nogardkrad are full of mysterious and unique places to explore. While the continent has been relatively at peace for the last 1000 years strange occurrences have begun to bring trouble back to the land. An ancient threat has re-emerged, bringing with it the destruction of Nogardkrad! Will you help stop this threat and save your homeland from certain doom? Or will you sit idly by and watch everything you love crumble into dust?”

Hello! My name is Draven! I’m looking for players to fill in 2 spots that have recently opened up in the campaign. I’m hoping to find some players that are between the ages of 21-30. I'm looking for people who are passionate about storytelling and are looking for a game that focuses on character development and roleplay, while still balancing it with a decent amount of exploration and combat. I'm looking from new to experienced players who are looking to have fun and a chill environment. If you are completely new to the game that is fine, but I’d prefer it if you have a passion for roleplay since it is the biggest aspect of my games over the mechanical side of the game. We can teach you how to play as we go, so don't be shy or worried about that part!

–About the game!–

 Nogardkrad is a high-magic fantasy setting made up of many diverse locations and a variety of people from all walks of life! Magic is abundant and the remains of an ancient technologically advanced race of extinct elves still stand to this day. 

Since this game favors and a focus on the player characters I am aiming to weave the story and narrative around the party and the PC’s choices. When the need for combat arises I try to make it meaningful, balanced, and dynamic. That being said, there may be sessions without combat based on the player’s choices. I believe in incorporating your backstories into the main plot of the story and I will do my best to work with you and tell a fun yet emotional story with you and everyone else’s characters.

We are an established group and we really enjoy hanging out outside of sessions! Being able to connect and chat outside of the game is something that we enjoy a lot. Being active on the server is a great way to get to know us!  So if you are only interested in engaging with us for the session itself and not outside of it, this may not be the group for you! Interacting with strangers over the internet can be nerve wracking and awkward at times. When I started my other campaign we were voice only but when we switched to playing with video as well, it was night/day. It helps with roleplay, it minimizes interruptions, and makes our interactions have more meaning and feel more real, so please know that we will be using video when we play our game.

Commitment to a long term campaign can be difficult at times but if you are chosen to join the game and can't make it to one of the sessions please let me know with time, I don't appreciate it when people wait for the last minute to say they can't make it to a session. I appreciate my players a lot and to me one of the most important things is that they have fun. If the game isn't for you or something isn't working tell me. Don't go silent and let it fester into something worse, I'd rather have the honest truth and work to make it better than find out when it's too late.

–How we roll!–

Schedule: Fridays from 6 pm to 9 pm PST

Session length: 3 hours

Please have a decent internet connection and mic. We’ll be using Discord for voice and video, D&DBeyond for sheets and Roll20 for VTT.

 (I don't agree nor condone what WotC or Hasbro are trying to do to the hobby. Unfortunately for me, all of my books are on D&DBeyond because I only play D&D online!) 

–Character Info!–

So far the current party is made up of 3 players. The party is formed of a Tiefling College of Swords Bard, a Variant Human Twilight Cleric, and a Hexblood Swashbuckler Rogue!

I use the Milestone leveling system! Level ups are based on achievements, major events, character growth, and story progress.

Races/classes: All official WotC published content is  allowed, no restrictions on races or classes with the exception of the Eladrin as they are extinct in this setting. Also I am not a stickler for doubling up on classes or races! All I ask is that if you plan on playing a class that has already been taken, that you pick a different subclass for your character!

Multi-classing is allowed as long as it makes sense for the character and that the choice has a rhyme or reason.

Homebrew is allowed as long as it is approved and reviewed by the DM. I may adjust or alter things if I believe it's imbalanced or unfair. 

–Rules and Expectations!–

Here are some of my rules as a DM when it comes to how I run the game. These are always subject to change and as we continue playing more rules will be added or removed!                                                                                                                                                                                              

These first 6 rules are nonnegotiable, if I am to DM for you you must accept these rules. If you don’t agree with these rules, that's fine but I may not be the right DM for you and should probably not join this campaign!

1. Without proper communication the foundation of any group will corrode and fall apart. Don't let it sit there and fester into something that becomes unfixable. I expect from you all that you will come forth with any concerns, problems, and suggestions that you carry with you as I would do so if the roles were reversed. My door has always been open and will continue to remain open forever.

1. No lone-wolf mentality characters. D&D is a cooperative storytelling game and that type of character does not mesh well in D&D. If that is what you are looking to play, then go play a video game instead. 

1. Edgy characters are fine as long as they aren’t total dickwads. That means no murder-hobos allowed. Im not a fan of PvP or overly confrontational players so, if the edge is sharp enough that you can cut yourself with it, maybe play something different. 

1. I'm a firm believer of the "rule of cool" mentality as long as it is within the realm of possibility, which means that "metagaming" will be heavily frowned upon and will honestly not be tolerated as long as the rules that are being ignored are not essential to the game.

1. Romance between PC's and NPC's is ok as long as both players are ok with it. Romance should happen in a way that feels natural and developed over time, not something that happens overnight or in between sessions. Adding to this rule, while I’m ok with romance in my games, PLEASE realize that this is strictly role-play and not actual flirting. Any NSFW content will occur strictly offscreen as a "Fade to black" and I will not go into detail. Any talk of ****, sexual abuse, homophobia, and/or unwanted advances of any kind directed at other players whether that’s in or out of character WILL GET YOU BANNED!!!

1. I totally understand that this is online D&D and that we may not always know when other players or the DM will speak but don’t be an ******* and interrupt people while they are talking. Everybody will have equal time in the spotlight and there's no worst feeling as a player to not get a chance to get some input out or to get spoken over while they are doing or saying something important.

–Meet your potential new DM!–

Hello! My name is Draven, I'm 27, my pronouns are he/him, and I am pansexual. I’m originally from Puerto Rico and have always had a love for all things sci-fi and fantasy! I love anime, video games, art, music, and movies. I’ve been a DM for about 4 years now. My group is made up entirely of lgbtq+ players and I would like to find players who are in the community or are allies. That being said, I am a firm believer that D&D should be a fun and safe environment so no matter what gender, sexual orientation, race, or ethnic background all are welcome in my game as long as we accept and respect each other. Thank you for showing interest in my game! I’m looking forward to reading through your applications!
