D&D Beyond
Howdy! This D&D campaign that has been successfully running for 2 years now is looking to secure an additional party member before the halfway point has been met, in which it would be too late to introduce another character with opportunity to fully flush out their backstory.
While you can apply with any character concept you'd like, the group has a preference for one that does not have overlapping skillsets (i.e. Persuasion, Stealth, Perception) and can fulfill the role of a mid/high-tier Tank, low/mid-tier Buffer, front-liner, or a combination of those during combat. Please use the template below to submit an application and I will get back to you in a timely manner.
Campaign Information
This is a professionally-run game based on the popular modules Lost Mines of Phandelver and Beyond the Dragon of Icespire Peak with a few amendments intended to enhance the story beats, avoid meta-gaming, and allow player flexibility in character development. This campaign is ideal for those looking for a longer-running game and the opportunity to showcase character plots and arcs, starting from Level 1 to Level 20. Everyone is welcome to apply, from new players to the forever-DMs.

Character Creation Rules
Why Pay-to-Play?
Player Expectation
A Group Environment
D&D is a collaborative effort and not an opportunity to play-out a main character fantasy. Please behave the way you would wish other players would behave and help encourage the shy among us to participate more fully.
Respect for all at the Table
This cannot be stressed enough: Playing with a group of random strangers can be a tricky situation. Harassment or bullying towards anyone of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other kind of behavior meant to bring people down. Violators will be booted from the game, the discord, and WILL NOT be entitled a refund for any paid sessions. When others are trying to speak, please try not to interrupt them. Encourage others at the table to share their voice as well.
Player Enjoyment
Your character is your character. While players may make suggestions if asked, please refrain from constantly telling people how to play their character. Some players may be new to their respective class or even the game, and everyone should extend some patience to them as we have all been there at one point. With that said, please be considerate of other player’s time, for example please put in the same effort in understanding your character as the other players to not hold up the Turn Order.
About the Dungeon Master
When I am not DMing or joining a game as a player, I work tangential to the world of finance. I have been playing weekly in multiple campaigns for the past few years now and have a good foundation on the mechanics and a decent grasp of the lore provided by WOTC. I enjoy taking time to customize storylines and subplots that aren’t in the published material to enhance the experience for everyone at the table. But above all, I love seeing a group of folks from many walks of life finding joy and bonds with each other, and seeing the amazing creativity of people is always appreciated (and more importantly rewarded).
Jeremy Crawford, Wizard of the Coast's rule master, encourages people to play D&D with RAF (Rules As Fun) in mind. There are some situations where I will place RAF over RAW (Rules As Written), but it must be within reason. Creativity is always appreciated and rewarded. Role-playing is encouraged, but isn't required. Beginners are able to apply, and will be welcomed into our gaming family with open arms.
I am fully aware that my role is to ensure that everyone has not only a fun experience, but also a safe one. I take that responsibility very seriously, so please do not hesitate to let me know if there are certain topics or scenes that are uncomfortable.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me over Private Message!
