This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of 10$ through Paypal or Revolut in advance of each session.

Currently have 1 spot open for this campaign

This campaign is currently running weekly with 4 players, we recently had a player leave, so looking for someone to fill the vacant spot. We are currently 5 sessions in.

Your hired by your good friend Gundren Rockseeker to escort a wagon of mining supplies from the City of Neverwinter to the frontier town of Phandalin, you have been offered a good 10 gold coins for this job, and promise of further work once you arrive in Phandalin.
Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Hallwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business."

About the game

The campaigns and stories are well suited for people completely new to DnD, I have had great success in the past introducing new players to DnD. The campaigns are also well suited to veterans that are looking for a stable group to play with weekly.  The first campaign will be a pre-made adventure with a slight spin on it from myself and then followed up by a larger and more expansive adventure where the players really will get to be put through their paces. In the very long run, there are plenty of possibilities for the party, or the characters themselves to get castles, keeps or other home bases. For this we will use the book by Matt Colville “Strongholds and Followers”

Even though these are premade adventures then I only use it as a framework from which I add a lot of my own spin to the story, and flesh out many areas in greater detail, so every place and every person you encounter will feel like a living person in the world. Even if you know the adventure at hand, then you can expect many hidden plots and expansive elements added to the story.

This adventure will take you from levels 1 - 5 and if the chemistry is right and the group wants too, I got an add-on ready for this campaign taking you from levels 5 - 10+ This will then make the campaign a very long-running one (multiple months’ worth), with plenty of room for individual character growth and for the party to grow together.

Schedule: Weekly, Friday’s at 8:00 PM GMT+1

Game Length: Minimum of 3 hours per session, with the possibility of running longer if the group desires and I’m able to (often are).

This campaign is expected to take several months to complete. As is the structure of a D&D game, consistency and attendance are held in high regard and of great importance, you should be able to attend most sessions for this time period. (However if some players are unable to attend we will work together to make it work, often a weekly session will still happen.)

Starting Level: 1
Finishing Level: 5+ with an add-on to level 10+
Maximum Group Size: 6 players (aiming for 5)

About me
Hello there! I am a 26 year old, Dane who loves all things fantasy.  In the last few years, I have completely fallen for D&D, ever since I saw the very first session of Critical Role. I enjoy running games and creating a fun experience for my players. I endeavour to create the best experience for all my players and to deliver a great engrossing story for them to explore.  I take great inspiration from Matt Colville and I like to run my games and campaigns by the rule of cool, if you have something you would like to do, then we’ll make it work (within reason of cause).

Details

We will use roll20
Discord server for you players as a group and connection in and out of game
Voice only required
You will get access to a shared Google doc with useful resources connected to the game

How i run the game

The aim of the game is for all involved to have fun. This never comes at the expense of someone else’s, so my main focus point when running the game will always be to ensure everyone leaves at the end of a session feeling satisfied. I usually communicate with players between sessions, to judge the feeling for the campaign, and to gather feedback etc.

The rule of cool

I am a firm believer in the rule of cool and generally quite relaxed and open about going slightly outside the book rules. However, the rule of thumb is to assume the book rules take president unless we have spoken and agreed otherwise. “I follow the rules when they make sense, sometimes rules are made to be broken”.

About the price

 Session 0 and session 1 will be free, to allow you as a group and players to get a feel for how I DM and run the game.

Why pay?

Running a game takes a lot of planning and out of sessions effort, I also invest a lot of what I might earn back into the campaigns, buying professional maps, and images, Roll20 subscription etc.

Paying also ensures that you guys will be in for quality and that I will never cancel a session etc.

In my experience with paid games players are also a lot more invested and this allows for a greater gameplay experience.

Payment

Payment will be made through Paypal or Revolut. Whichever service you find easiest, Revolut has no transfer fees, so i would suggest using this one. You can pay weekly or pay monthly.

Character creation

You can go with two ways of doing this, (Point buy) or roll using the 3 ups - 3 down method

I also have a few premade characters that would weave into the story in different ways, this can be explored if you want to use them, or maybe take inspiration from their backstories to make something of your own.

I like to work player characters into the story in some way, down the road or right from the start. So when creating your character I like to be involved and work with you to make your dreams and the story you wish to explore a reality.

Further details about character creation will be discussed prior to the game.

What players to expect

You might very well expect players of the same calibre and frame of mind as yourself, as I aim to get a group with the same ideals and wants from the campaign. So there will be a bit of an interview process to guarantee the best player chemistry.

I have had great success in the past doing this, and managed to get good group chemistries.

Homebrew rules

• Potions: Using a Potion of Healing on yourself is a bonus action, whereas using it on others is an action.
  
  
• Health: You will roll for HP upon leveling, however, if you roll below the average, you may take the average instead. *your rolling to try and get above the average*
  
  
• Death Save: Death Saves will be rolled by the DM and private messaged to the unconscious player. This is to avoid metagame knowledge and introduce a sense of urgency.
  
  
• Being knocked unconscious: First time in combat is normal rules, 2nd time your knocked out on the same day, you will take a point of exhaustion, 3rd time another point and so on. This is an attempt to portray that stress that is put upon the characters body through traumas of being knocked out.
  
  
• Flanking: Flanking will not give advantage on attacks, but instead be a +2 to your attack roll, you will get a +1 if your not directly opposite your ally, opening up a larger flanking angle.
  
  
• Other house rules will be discussed as the game goes on and when they become relevant.

General rules of conduct

• Please try to design a character that will be able to work as a team and function with the rest of the party. (no edgy characters)
  
  
• If a player is abusive or discriminatory towards another player or myself, they will be promptly removed from the game. This is to ensure everyone plays in a fun environment. There is a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behaviour.
  
  
• The game is about having fun, if you feel you’re not having as much as you would want, talk to me and we might be able to change things for the better. I make a big point out of talking to my players between sessions, and adjusting the game accordingly to the feedback.
  
  
• Please respect your fellow players and your DM. I would ask that everyone acts friendly towards one another and gives others an equal chance to share the spotlight.
  
  
• No ones fun comes at the expense of someone elses.
