Hi there! Here's some information on a campaign I'm running.

• Game: D&D 5e 2014 rules, homebrew setting, campaign running since January of 2023. Free game, no cost to play.
• Group type: Online via dndbeyond & Discord voice chat, with theatre of the mind and screen-shared battle maps
• Experience: New / a few years / veteran - all welcome
• Location/Timezone: Central Time
• Schedule: We play every second Wednesday from 9PM to 11PM CT (next one is Nov 6/24).
• We currently have a tiefling cleric/fighter, a human cleric, a bugbear wizard (a new player still climbing the learning curve), a kobold paladin, and an air genasi wizard. But be what you want - I do not force "balance" into the group.

 Character building:

• All races, classes, and backgrounds from 2014 PHB, TCoE, XGtE, MotM, SAG permitted. I share my digital content with those in the campaign.
• Ability scores: Modified point buy. Start a character with 5 in each ability and distribute 42 points, maxing out at 15 in any ability before racial bonuses, feat bonuses, and Ability Score Improvements.
• One common or uncommon magic item, subject to my approval (no gauntlets of ogre strength!).
• After your character is created, I will share a map with you, and we will work together to determine where in this world you are from and any lore bonuses that entitles your character to.
• Multiclassing & feats are permitted.
• Customize Your Origin is permitted.
• Optional Race Features are NOT permitted.
• The party is at Level 8 (milestone).
• I'm open to homebrew builds, but I'll need to see them first.

 Game style:

• Clean content - no smut
• Classic high fantasy. Lots of homebrew lore in this world. Character-driven story.
• My GM style is roughly 40% combat, 40% exploration, 20% roleplaying

 Expectations from players:

• Show up on time for each session.
• If you can't make it, let me know in advance.
• When I make a DM ruling, I'll always hear you out if you have an objection. If I stand by my ruling, that's the end of the discussion and we move on.
• Message me between sessions if you have any concerns about the campaign, other players, or my DM style.
• Be patient and respectful with other players.
