Hi, I am looking for players for the rime of the frost maiden
Game: D&D 5e Group type: Online, using FantasyGrounds Unity and Discord. I will accept the honor system at some point (so you can just sync your char sheet from DndBeyond if you want to), but for the first session, I expect your char sheet to be copied into FG. Getting FG Demo version is enough. Experience: a few years. Location/Timezone: GMT+2, Fridays starting at 20:00 Schedule: every week or every 2 weeks, group decides. Roles sought: 1-2 more players. Game style: Dungeon crawling, roleplaying, horror.
Rules of application:
The campaign shall be played in English on Fridays, 8 p.m. Central European Time (Berlin). Each session will last from 3 to 4 hours. Whether the frequency will be every Friday or every other Friday is up to the players. I also expect the players to agree on a plan on what to do when another player cannot make to the session.
The campaign will be played in FG Unity and Discord. I have FG Unity Ultimate so if the players have the demo version that will be enough to participate.
For the first session you will be required to have your char created on FG Unity. From the second session onward, if you prefer to manage your character another way, including on other platforms, we can discuss the details of how that it is going to work, but you will still need to keep some of your char sheet in FG Unity on sync and access it for every session.
The setting
I am situating the adventure in Eberron. This will be the first full campaign based on a book that I will be DMing (I have run as DM homebrew and one-shots before), so I expect patience if there are situations when I get the details of the setting wrong or if the campaign does not fit and I have to force it somehow.
As a result of situating the campaign in Eberron I plan to be changing some characters from what they were written in the book. I also plan to change some events from what is written from time to time, either to adapt it to players actions or because I wanted to try out something. So please don’t expect a perfect adaption of the campaign as written.
Who can join
Beginner or experienced players are welcome to join. I expect your application to be a confirmation that you have read this document and a short paragraph about your character. In case that more than 6 players apply, I will be selecting which applications to invite by which ones I find more interesting. In case less than 4 players apply, the campaign is not happening.
Please be aware that I will be expecting you to confirm that you want to be participating and to submit an idea of a character. In case you do not provide this in a timely manner I will be assuming you are not interested. Sending me a char sheet link from dnd beyond is also considered a valid mode of application (it does not need to perfectly represent your character, if you want to use something specific from Eberron, for example, like a Dragonmarked house, the modules will be available in FG).
If you are a complete beginner, please notify me of the fact. We can schedule a session 0 where I can teach you the basics of the game and the basic of how to use FGU and discord and help you with char creation. I do recommend to glance through the rules on your own, especially regarding combat.
Character Options
You can select any options from the Players Handbook and Xanathar’s Guide of Everything, Eberron rising from the last war and Exploring Eberron.
You can select any race of Volo’s Guide to Monsters and a Grung above. Keep in mind that some monster might not be well received among civilization if you do.
You can select subclasses presented on Unearthed Arcana Material.
Anything else can be discussed, but even if accepted you will need to create a module on FG and export it on your own.
When you are creating your character, decide if you want to have a secret. If you do, one will be randomly assigned to you. Not all of them are beneficial, and you might decide to not incorporate the secret to your character if you think it does not fit well with what you want to play.
We are using standard array for stats on character creation.
Code of Conduct
You are expected to be cooperative to the other players. You don’t necessarily need to play a good character, but you must have a reason to stay on the good graces of the party. You are also expected to treat others in a polite manner.
Mature Content Warning
I have not read the entire book yet, so I am not sure what kind of Mature Content is present. I know that it has elements of horror and that there is violence and murder. If mature content does arise, please portray yourself in a responsible manner. If something bothers you, take it up with me and give your feedback.
If you are not OK with mature content at all, or if you are a minor, please do not apply.
Well, they are not native from Eberron, but given that Eberron has the mourning that can mutate creatures I would allow it. This might be the reason or you could come up with another. Could be also the result of an experiment or something else you would come up with.
But just remember that if what you want is a halfling with a bonus to wisdom you also have the option via the dragonmarked houses. House Jorasco at least has a +1 Wis bonus.
Tbh the main reason for ghostwise Halfling is not just for the wisdom (since I plan on plying a Ranger) because I thought that the telepathy could be fitting the horror theme in this adventure. But I can of course change to a Mark of Healing halfling if you prefer. I would like to maybe wait to see what others want to play before committing one way or another.
Just one more question out of curiosity where on Eberron do plan to place the adventure?

Just to confirm, Ghostwise halfling aren't allowed, right?
