D&D Beyond
Hello everyone!
I am Dungeon/Game Master Indoril Mora and I’m starting up a new weekly campaign, English will be the game language and games will happen once a week at evenings around 18-20 GMT+3, Saturday would be my preference but that is negotiable.
Game: D&D, Fifth Edition
Campaign: "At the Precipice of Chaos Homebrew world with some gritty grim dark element but could also run less homebrew but dark campaign in Etharis world of Grim Hollow or lighter fantasy campaign in the world of Wildemount
Group type: Online game only via Roll 20 and Discord
Experience: All experience levels welcome from beginner D&D players to seasoned D&D veterans
Timezone: 17-21 GMT+3
Schedule: Playing every week on Saturdays (up to negotiation)
Session Length: 3 to 4 hours with 20 minute break in between
Players/Groups: I am up looking for up to 5 players or I could also take on a group of friends/family/colleagues etc, maximum of 5 people. (minimum 3 people)
Payment: Via PayPal; $40 per player, per month. Session 0 is free. Payment details and date will be discussed at session 0.
Who I am and about my style of DM’ing
I am a working university student, studying history and archaeology, hobbies being writing, art, and swordplay; I am LBQT+ friendly and would give my best to incorporate all players of all shades. I have been a fantasy nerd for past 2 and half decades now and in the world of DnD nearly 5 years now. I have DM’ed around 50 people so far and have run one shots, campaigns and even some different systems. My style of DM’ing is more sandbox than railroading and more focused on rewarding the players initiative than trying to ram certain plot down your throats ;).
Games are usually more Role-play than Combat oriented with 50/50 being minimum while sometimes be more 80/20 leaning towards RP. elements. Quests can often be more intrigue based and may involve solving puzzles, clues, figuring out hints and filing gaps or be tied in with bigger picture and/or may require understanding or remembering of older solved plots and quests. I also like to write in and incorporate player character backstory elements. Except grey alignments and making decisions where there is no right or wrong option or it’s not clear what is right and what is wrong.
I want to play
Requirements:
*Whether we play only through voice or voice and video will be discussed at session 0, if majority wants to play that way I’m fine with either, I believe that voice and video would give us better overall quality in longer run however. Another thing to note, please if you live with family/pets etc., try to have a good, quiet environment for the sessions, people shouting over each other and watching sports or dogs barking near your oversensitive microphone can be fairly disrupting to the session overall even with push-to-talk option.
* Be a decent human? What I mean by that is that I would require us to be LBQT+ friendly and not ostracize someone based on their sex, sexual preferences, race etc, and to keep politics and religion (real life, it’s fine if your argue about Bahamut and Tiamat ;) ) out of the games as well.
* Since it is a monthly subscription based model, I do hope that it is enough of an incentive to be there for each session but if you are not able, please, let me know as soon as possible and we will set up a discount for the next month, if several people cannot be at attendance, the session will be cancelled and I will offer an extra session as soon as possible, if I cannot make it, I will offer a free extra session as soon as possible.
* If you are willing I would like to work with you at character creation so you would have a character that fits into the world and you would have greater chances then to also explore your character backstory and more in depth.
Campaign
I propose a campaign in my own homebrew world of Igüv.
A land that has been shattered by conflict and strife, opportunities arise for those who are brave and courageous. Vile corruption has spread throughout the lands after a cataclysmic event known as the Sundering.
Strange corrupted creatures roam the countryside and civilization is forced to retreat year after year, while nobles scheme among themselves and prepare for war.
Pirates who once harried the west coast have organized and formed their own nation of Urukay’l where gold and blood reigns supreme, but deep beneath the island of Urukay’l the civilizations of Drow are falling and those who came above ground tell of a new cruel empire rising deep, where sun never shines.
To the north wilderness reigns strong, druids and shamans of nomadic people guard secrets that could be dangerous to world as a whole. Firbolgs, Humans, Dwarves and Orcs make their home there and sometimes wandering Dragonborn exiles find new a start there. But what lies under the ice and in the coldest mountains, is it treasure or death?
Strong federations of city states and kingdoms populated by Half-elves make their own path to the south, a multicultural civilization, friendly to all, but there political Machiavellian machinations run deep and a friendly face is often one to plant a dagger in your back.
But I could also run a game in Etharis world or Taldorei/Wildemount, expectation and wishes for theme and what will the campaign will be like, will be discussed at session 0.
Why paid model?
I get it, paid DM’ing is still bit of a taboo topic, many people think that as a hobby it’s no bueno, that I/DM/GM’s should do it for free because it’s just a hobby and the enjoyment we all get out of it should be enough. While I love DnD and DM’ing, it’s sadly often unappreciated profession and we as DM’s invent lot more time and money into it. My longest session preparation time has been around 10 hours, usually it (the prep. time) is more akin to the session runtime and in some rare cases I don’t have to do any prep. but it’s nearly always more time that themselves players invest. While in a perfect world I would/could DM full time for free, In this current world, I have to put a price on my time/priorities and for my hobbies.
Also I believe it weeds out most disruptive players and players who are not willing to commit and would ghost the group or sessions. Paid model is commitment and commitments are less often set aside so to speak.
Rest assured though that the money that you would provide does not go to waste, much of it goes back into campaign and help with the quality of the campaign, whether it is paying for subscriptions for helpful sites and tools and buying extra materials and source books. Etc DnDbeyond, Syrinscape and so on.
Paid Model
40€ monthly subscription, payment through Paypal, once a month, which corresponds to weekly games with session times ranging 3 to 4 hours with 20 minute break in between. Session 0 will be free.
What you get
Last Notes
I am looking to DM to 4 to 5 people ideally, I have 2 people at the moment who have expressed interest but if you have a set group of friends and you think you would want me to DM for you it would work fine as well as long as the group is not larger than 6 people.
If you are interested, comment or send me a message and we’ll set up schedule for a discord call, following that session 0 where I will touch upon general info about campaign and give you information regarding the start.
