I'm looking to start a homebrew campaign and share a unique world with you all. As a brand new DM, I'm aiming for a balanced mix of 50/50 roleplay and combat, though this may shift depending on how the sessions unfold. I genuinely hope to see a lot of roleplay from the group, as I want this world to be a melting pot of our stories. Let's bring in laughs, vulnerability, conflicts, voices, quirks—whatever makes our characters come alive, as long as we remain respectful of each other.
I forgot to mention, I do plan on using the new 2024 rules. Mostly, standard classes! I have crafted a class or two and I am open to discussing the possibility of any homebrew or expanded rules subclass you may be interested in portraying.
Combat will also play a significant role, and I'll strive to include at least one combat encounter per session. If one session is heavy on roleplay, I'll balance it with more combat in the next.
I'm planning on running the campaign on Thursdays at 8pm EST. I will probably start by running it bi-weekly and them move towards weekly as I get my bearings. Given my full-time job, school, dogs, and other responsibilities, I need to be strict about our scheduling and punctuality. I want to be respectful of everyone's time as I would like them to be respectful of mine.
Additionally, while I would like to extend the invitation to everyone, I'm currently limiting the sessions to individuals of 18+ for everyone's safety. Besides that,This is a safe space for anyone of any race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.. Any discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated! Come as you are! :)
I will probably be using DND Beyond and Discord as the VTT because I have my (limited selection) of books here and do not know how to use many VTTs. I also got the subscription for the year and look forward to trying it out. I am very open to any feedback as well!
Below is a brief description of the world and an invitation for adventurers:
Nexum Campaign
World Overview:
Nexum is a world where nature, magic, and technology intertwine, brimming with mysteries and political intrigue. The inhabitants of this very diverse have discovered a powerful energy source known as Aetherflux, which powers their advanced technology. However, Aetherflux is highly unstable and requires continuous control by magic users, this manipulation is known as Aetherweavers. This makes magic users incredibly valuable and magical resources increasingly scarce.
While any form of magic can stabilize Aetherflux, sorcerers’ innate magic is particularly potent. However, this power comes at a cost, as the intense channeling of Aetherflux can have severe effects on their mind and body, potentially leading to insanity or death.
Aetherflux:
Definition: Energy produced by combining natural resources with humanoid magic.
Unstable Nature: Requires continuous channeling by Aetherweavers to remain stable.
I'm interested in joining! I would like to join on Thursdays if possible, and I live in the EST time zone. My Thursdays are completely open and I'm willing to play late. I would be running a Wizard, and I have the books needed on DnDbeyond(including the new books and some sourcebooks). Add me on discord, my username is zildrak.
Definitely an intriguing story hook. I could only do Saturdays given my own schedule, and I'm PST so whatever evening time is to you wouldn't likely be an issue for me. Regarding your usage of 2024 updates, are we able to play subclasses and species from original 5e or only what's been published with the 2024 revisions?
I'm available by DM here or discord at #darkneverland87.
Hi, very interested in this!I’m more here for the Thursday i think but Saturdays MAY work as well. Depending on timings! Got a monk in mind i’ve been wanting to play.
my discord is: avengingsoul
can be contacted most reliably/quickly for communication/interviews/questions there!
I am interested in Saturday evenings. I have an elven wizard/bladesinger that I've been itching to play. I am EST and can usually be available starting 5 pm on Saturdays.
I am still ironing out the details for Saturdays. I would allow subclasses and species for the original as long as the classes meet the schema of 2024 rules and any spells used would be the 2024 versions.

Hi, I'm interested in the Saturday evening slot if there's room. My discord is yowakusuru, same as name here.
Thank you for the kind words! :) I appreciate it!
I assume you meant you can't play these days, only because of the "Although"

I have played around with it and the Bladesinger works with 2024, it just moves the 2nd level features to level 3.
Also, what method do you want for character generation?
This is my manually rolled character: Kemian Moonglade
Hi there, I am interested in the game if you are still looking for players. My discord is overseergengar
