Its been 50 years since the Black Swords arrived and changed everything. Nobody knows who they were or where they came from, but they devastated the coast, pillaged the trade routes, and destroyed the other kingdoms. Pharaoh Taranoth the Great was the only one who could stop them. Sadly, after defeating defeating the Black Swords and scattering their army to the winds, Taranoth the Great was killed by an unknown assassin. Since then, his grandson Taranoth III, or Taranoth the Terrible as the people call him, has ruled Kemet Seba with an iron fist. You are a young member (or ally) of the rising merchant class. It is your job to explore the deserts, discover treasure, re-establish the old trade routes, & bring prosperity back to the kingdom. Be warned though! The deserts of Kemet Seba are a dangerous place. Navigating them will not only require smart tactics, detailed planning, & luck, but also careful management of resources: food, water, hit points, hit dice, spell slots, weight & (most importantly) TIME.
Game: D&D 5e Group type: Online Experience: veteran Location/Timezone: Eastern Time Zone Schedule: Saturdays, 6:00pm to 10:00pm EST Roles Sought: Players Game Style: The Bronze Realms is an open table/episodic D&D 5e campaign inspired by the Bronze Age Collapse (an event in real-world human history) & the OSR (old-school renaissance). Sessions will be held every Saturday night from 6pm to 10pm Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Open Table: New players are welcome at any time! There is always space for you at our table.
Episodic: Unable to attend a session? No problem! Pay for only the games you play, & there's no penalty for missing a session. Players are free to come & go as their schedules allow.
New characters start with two (2) level three (3) characters (one primary and one backup), and must be created before your first session.
Use the Charactermancer in Roll20 to make your character(s) – do NOT import a character from D&D Beyond, make an NPC, or edit the sheet manually.
You may use character options from: The Player's Handbook (PHB) The Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) Monsters of the Multiverse (MoM) Tasha's Caludron of Everything (TCE) Xanathar's Guide to Everything (XGE) Van Richten's Guide Guide to Ravenloft (VRGR)
You may determine ability scores by any method you choose: Standard Array, Point Buy, or Roll. But if you roll, you can only roll ONCE per character and you have to stick with it! Characters can't commit suicide just because they have low ability scores.
Spend some time thinking about languages, backgrounds, and tool proficiencies. Each one will have a specific use. See the handouts in Roll20 for more info.
Most human characters worship one or more deities of the Egyptian Pantheon (PHB p299) while most non-humans worship non-human deities (PHB p296).
Do NOT take the starting equipment packages. Roll for starting wealth and purchase your starting equipment from the equipment handouts.
Next, give each new character 1,000 EXPERIENCE POINTS and use the Charactermancer Level Up function to level up to level 3.
TEST your character! Do a practice battle either by yourself, with a friend, or with the GM. If your build doesn't work, figure that out now before the game starts so you can rebuild your character.
Don't forget to determine your character's height and weight (PHB p121). You may add as much or as little background to your character if you like. Nothing is required except to be prepared to answer one question: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
