Looking for 1-2 players. We have not far in, see ReLMOP for current game thread.
Please DM for recruitment. We have 2 fighters and a Bard.
Lost mine of Phandelver; you have run it before, now run it again...for the first time.
For one reason or another, personal, sensitive, private, well that is your own concern; you have ended up in Neverwinter. The name is appropriate and why you haven't left since arriving in the late fall of the year 1489. The river, so named, runs from the volcanic peak of Mt. Hotenow, warm and churning it makes its way towards the coast. The land is blanketed in thick white ice and snow, and yet the lands along its route remain, manageable. The snow melts quicker, the warmth radiating for many dozens of feet from its shore.
Thick blizzards have raged for days, the City digging itself out from a blanket of ice and snow. Several such tempests have raged, and yet in days the bulk will have melted into the river. The lands outside its walls are not so lucky. Buried beneath many feet, travel has come to an end, for now, at least not without great difficulty and the most likely end of oblivion.
You have spent the last couple months hunting the dead in the shattered quarter. Not a job or vocation as it is a hobby, or perhaps a pastime. A means to make a few Nobles, or develop your skills. Something has too put food on the table. A missive arrives from Captain Ides Harven, you don't take it as command, you are a mercenary after all. A plea, a summons, a request for audience, or perhaps just out of curiosity you go.
"You have shown great promise, I would certainly prefer to keep you here, but my superiors have other desires" he begins. An auspicious start for a despicable man. Cruel, and ambitious, willing to sacrifice others for his own rise. "It is only 4 days from the mark of spring, the roads have begun to open. While the snows retreat elsewhere they refuse to loose their grip on the Sword mountains. Phandalin remains in an icy embrace, the Iron mines have yet to reopen and we are in need of fresh ore." he pauses, surveying the lot of you before going on.
"This is a kings ransom for such a simple task, 50 Nobles to travel South and report to Harbin Wester, the town speaker. Find out what is happening and do what you can to get that Iron flowing." He grimaces as he hands the coins over, provides a writ of introduction and a ticket for full complement for traveling, from the armory. "I expect to hear back in a timely fashion, if there are no other questions, you are dismissed. And thank you for accomplishing this task" His superiors must be listening, you have never known the man to speak this well.
Standard Array, Level 1, extra 50 Nobles (gp) starting money
Posting daily is required, no more than three posts a day. I will post daily and move the story along. If you have not posted... If we are in combat, you have taken the 'Dodge' action. Enemies may still attack or affect you. If we are out of combat...you have nothing further to add and will follow along with the group.
Posts should have action, describe what you are doing, I need something to adjudicate. Also include communication, this can be internal dialogue, thoughts, feelings; or it can be verbal (external) dialogue to another player or NPC.
All base rules of D&D 5e will be used, no optional rule from the DMG. Milestone leveling. I do not ‘Balance’ encounters, you do. If you start a fight you can not win, be prepared to run or die.
I have no books to share, you are responsible for your own character. All Official material is welcome. If you write it on a piece of paper and carry it in your back pocket, that is fine. However please, be honest, you only cheat yourself, and please create a strawman on the forum as your representative. Otherwise if you are using pen and paper, with real dice, the die-roller in the forum or any other method; I ask…Be Honest, roll and stick to the roll, I don't fudge and neither should you. Don't be too focused on the ‘Character sheet’, your character is more than a skill and a statistic, use creativity to overcome challenges.
We will start at level one (1)
If you are interested; Please send a DM, any experience with D&D welcome, in any context.
Include Name, race, class, and a short backstory (Please read Opening post to orient the end point of your backstory to the beginning of this story.)
You will receive an invite--The first post will be an introduction of yourself, give enough detail to include potential hooks, I will try to work them in if possible. How you ended up in Neverwinter, why you came.
Read each others posts, be aware of what they are doing so you can ‘Riff off’ of them; and so I can do the same.
Depending on the timing of things, a buddy of mine and I have been talking about doing a character duo. We’re still finalizing it, but it could fit into things.

I can't help but wonder if this will also exist in the same campaign world as NWN & OTHAFA?

Love it!!!! Very interesting way to build out your campaign world!

Are the fighters melee or archery? And do you know the intended subclasses of the characters?
