To the west of Faerun lie a small group of islands in the middle of the Trackless Sea. The Living Isles, as they are known to those who travel here, are in complete turmoil. The main island of Clykere plays host to the Stormholme Empire, and is often the focal point of all travel to the area. Surrounding it lie 6 smaller islands, each with their own tribes whom feel the injustices of the Empire have become too much. Diplomacy has broken down. There is no other form of recourse...and a civil war is brewing. The tribes have sent out for aide in this battle, looking for warriors and adventurers to help in their plight. This is where you come in.
The Expectations:
There are TWO sides to every story. Neither side is inherently evil, and depending on the side you choose, your story will differ.
End game will be a Zero-Sum battle, meaning you MUST accept that your characters will most certainly die by the end of this campaign.
This is a story driven campaign, so there will be some guidance and "railroading" to work each party towards the end goal and prevent a premature ending.
The choices you make through the campaign will change the way the people of the Isles see each side of the conflict.
The Game:
This game will be streamed live on Twitch.
This game will use Roll20 as the main game source.
This game will use Discord for voice and possible video chat (if there is interest in doing so).
You will be encouraged to set up character sheets in D&D Beyond so that we may add them to the stream overlay.
This game will take place on two separate nights, one for each party.
Open game nights are Monday, Tuesday, or Saturday. Each party will be allowed to select the night that works best for them.
If the same night is chosen, one group will run, then the following week the other will run.
Games will be held once a month (possibly increasing to bi-weekly after the game has started moving forward)
Each party will consist of 4 members.
Party alignment is suggested to lean towards Good/Neutral. Evil characters will not work well with this campaign.
Each team will race to prepare their sides for battle. This includes gaining power for each of your party members before the battle has reached your doorstep.
This campaign will last between 5 months to 1 year, depending on how.
If you have any questions about this campaign, please feel free to ask them here. I'd be happy to answer any question you may have!
I'm interested in joining up. I've got a few characters worked out that might be fun for this kind of setting. What's your timezone so we can determine if I'd actually be able to play?

Timezone will be EST. Start time around 7:30 or 8pm more than likely.
I would love to be apart of this campaign! It sounds super interesting and a concept I had been thinking about myself! I would be super happy to join, preferably the Saturday party. Might I ask how long each session would last?

Added you to the list unwornbrute. Once we have the 8 players, we'll sort out start date and other fun stuff. :)
Hello,
I would also be very interested in joining as well if you don’t mind
Awesme. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions about my available times
Also, Monday or Tuesday would be perfect for me
I've added you GreyJediBay. Once we get our numbers, we'll organize the teams.
I'm totally down for this
This sounds really interesting! I'd be interested in playing this too!
Adding both of you to the list! :)

Dang. That ends up being a bit too late for me. Best of luck with the game, though.
Depends on the group as well. Perhaps they want the game to start a bit sooner for their group? I can put you on standby @jhe?
For sure. It will probably end up being later than I can actually swing, but if it ends up being earlier, just let me know.
I was getting extremely excited at the idea... Then saw it's EST timezone XD (sucks being in Europe for this kind of stuff).
Best of luck everyone! Are you going to also publish the streams videos on YouTube? (I'd stil be interested in watching if I can't join)
Born in Italy, moved a bunch, living in Spain, my heart always belonged to Roleplaying Games
