Hello Adventurers,
We are starting a new adventure. We play to a small table four players and one DM at the session totaling five people. Demise and Sholeh make up two of those five and are looking for three new players for high stakes games!
The DMs will not make modifications to allow the players to avoid death. We are looking for serious players only. This is not a relaxed game with occasional use of the rules. You should know the rules of the game and the mechanics of your character both in and out of combat. The rules will be applied fairly and evenly to everyone with no expectations. We are NOT a Rules as Fun / Rule of Cool group nor do we shy away from player character death due to unlucky rolls.
Rule of Cool detracts from those who abide by the rules. There are many people who would not want to play in a game where the rules are strictly adhered to, and that's fine. We want the challenge, we want the confides and bounds of the rules, and we want to see how we are able to use the tools within the limits they are given. It's fun for us. We understand that this is not everyone's cup of tea. If this doesn't sound fun to you, please do not apply. This isn't the table for you.
This table has a zero tolerance policy. It is a BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Female Friendly table (Female DM). Violations of such will result in being removed without discussion.
Schedule:
Sessions will run from 8:30pm to 12am EST every Friday. This includes a 15 minute mid-game break.
It is expected that players commit 2 to 4 hours during the week (outside of game time) to look at: Announcements, chats, level ups, character review/refresh, team synergy, and other items related to game.
Interviews for our campaign will occur if you make it to the next step. We will be in touch for you to select a day/time. Please plan to dedicate 30-60 minutes for an interview at your Friday Night setup.
Setting:
The game will primarily be in the Forgotten Realms setting. It is heavily focused on the Sword Coast. Players are expected to understand the lore of the region and their race. Player Characters (PCs) are expected to fit in the existing world, as well as understand the culture, government, and society. The first few campaigns (expected to span roughly two years of real life play time) will be a mix of premade adventures seamlessly stitched and scaled with some additions to round out the edges where needed.
Long Term Outlook for the Group:
We aim to have a group that wants to work together, understands the strengths and flaws of various classes, and works out how to address challenges as a team. We would like to create a group like we have had in the past that lasts not for a few months but several years. This is a hobby that a lot of time, blood, sweat, and tears have been poured into, and we hope that shows in the quality of the setting.
How do we get to a point where we take total strangers and see if they mesh well together? Great question! There is a screener questionnaire that is required to be filled out along with an interview. We expect that our process section will take 4 to 6 weeks to interview all candidates that might be a good fit.
What we are Looking for in Terms of Players:
Commitment: Show up on time and be ready to play. Please note that those who frequently miss sessions or outside of game requirements will be replaced.
Maturity: We are adults and would like to play with other adults our age. This game is set for players 30+ years old. You will be required to age verify prior to your interview with our discord bot.
Honesty: Players who need to ‘fudge’ rolls or cheat in other ways will not be welcome. There is an expectation that if the player is not having fun or enjoying the game, it should be brought up.
Seriousness: Joke characters are not welcome here. Players are expected to understand the lore and history of their selected race. In the last question, put your favorite book as the first word, do not post about this in the comment sections.
Interest: Players are expected to know the lore and history of the race they pick and how that race fits into the setting (The Forgotten Realms). Players are expected to learn and understand the class they pick, the role(s) the class fills, and how to work towards synergies with other players.
Respect: We are all mature adults. OOC Racism, sexism, LGBTQ-phobia, real-life politics, and religion have no place here. These themes happen within gameplay.
Requirements for Players:
A quality working mic with stable enough internet that we can clearly hear you with no background. We are all here to have a good time. Missing what is said or picking up background noises can be distracting for others.
Discord. It’s free and more or less the standard these days.
Forge VTT Account. A free Forge account sign-up is required. We will be using Foundry hosted on the Forge. Foundry is browser based, please see the client system requirements here.
All characters must be made on D&D Beyond, we will be sharing all official source materials. (No homebrew or Unearthed Arcana will be allowed.)
We will not accept groups or requests to play with specific players.
Gameplay:
Rules as Written (RAW). Creativity is encouraged and rewarded, however this table tries to stay as close as possible to RAW.
Breakdown of Gameplay Estimates: Roleplay 45%, Combat 30%, Exploration 25% (
Players handbook + one other source book (all races, subclasses, and backgrounds must come from PHB and this one book)
Death: It happens. Players may not play the same class that they have previously played (resets when 10 different classes have been played)
Warforge, guns, Spelljammer and 3rd party content have been banned. No exceptions.
PC romances must be pre-approved by all players involved.
NPC romances are allowed and do not need to be pre-approved.
Keep romances PG-13. All in-game sexual actions Fade to Black aka Fadeout and are never described.
Consent:
By applying to this game, you agree to the following Adult themes that are pre-written in Wizards’ D&D 5e Adventure Modules. These Adult themes may happen to animals, children, NPCs, and PCs.
Themes include but are not limited to: Phobias (spiders, heights, flying, snakes, dogs, needles, thunder/lighting, abandonment etc. etc. etc.), graphic violence, horror, injury, death, abuse (physical, mental, gaslighting, threats), and prejudice (racism, classism, and sexism).
We will not be adapting modules to accommodate individual comfort levels. Wizards’ has published Adventures that are suitable for the target audience. Homebrewed and/or modified content will follow existing Wizards’ Modules.
Request from us:
After you are accepted, if you feel the table is not a good fit for you, please contact the DMs prior to leaving the game to explain why. Feedback is appreciated. And perhaps a resolution could be found. In addition to this, you may also be contacted for a discussion with the DMs if you are not a good fit for the table. Again, the goal will be to find a resolution before being asked to leave.
