I am looking for 2 or 3 players to run through 'Dungeon of the Mad Mage' with me via PbP.
It's basically an enormous dungeon crawl. I really enjoy preparing combat maps and icons and working through combat situations visually using the maps, so I think this adventure will be perfect. We will be using a google sheet to keep track of all of the fun stuff (maps, character and monster images, etc.) and the d&d beyond forums for gameplay, rolling, etc. I am not looking to get super in-depth with RP here (although anything is possible), just an adventure down as many depths of the dungeon that we can make it, or until we get bored. Likely the latter since this is PbP and I think there are over 50 dungeon levels?!
Anyways, I'm looking for players who are experienced using the d&d beyond forums, including dice rollers. No more than 3 PC's for this one. Ideally only 2.
Happy for existing players in my other game to apply as well! I just didn't want to bombard folks with game invitations.... I am playing a lot of PbP lately and am looking to take on this project.
Any race/class is good as long as it's from a sourcebook.
Let me know if you have any questions. The hook into the game is super wide open, so basically any character background will be good. The game takes place in the city of Waterdeep.
This timing is perfect... I am planning on running my own group (IRL) through Dungeon of the Mad Mage soon, so it would be awesome if I had a chance to play through it first.
About My Character: I have an idea for a Aarakocra Psi Knight... I can update with more in depth backstory if you need, but it is more of a mechanical interest than a RP interest which should fit this game well.
About Me: I am pretty experienced with both DnD 5e as well as PbP and play in and DM a few games already so I have a pretty good grasp on the mechanics of the dice rollers on the forums and tooltips.
(What level we start at... I think 5 is recommended, but if we only have 2-3 players we might want to start higher... Let me know!)
I’m down for a dungeon crawl. Though I think the book does have some RP in it as well... So will that still be a thing?
I have a hexblade I’ve been wanting to play for a while, and underground seems pretty good for him actually. Though if you’re only looking for 2-3 I’d be willing to change depending on party composition.
Any RP we encounter will be dealt with as it comes. Who knows, maybe there will be more RP than I am envisioning. Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to give it some light RP meat... just not any super in-depth stories I don’t think.
I want to reserve a spot here. I see the characters the others have proposed and I want to work off of them, so hopefully, we can already have a balanced team.
I had a Warlock all planned out, and I was hoping to make them more of a heavy caster type, but I might end up choosing to go for an Artificer instead. Probably gonna make 'em very bulky while I'm at it, but keeping the caster aspect so I can bring some variety.
I have a twilight domain cleric that I would like to play if you need a support class / open to another player. I haven’t played DoMM either yet, but I have wanted to. Have you played Dragon Heist yet?
oh one last thing if you have played the first few dungeons I would rather have players that have not played this!
Have never played DoMM either. Nor opened the book. I should be surprised by anything the book has to offer except if I predict something through deduction or luck.
Anyways... My character sheet is done (Here it is). I'm going for 5 levels of Artificer. She's not as bulky as initially intended, but honestly, it made more sense this way. A great middle-ground between Blaster and Support, and I'd be happy starting the game with a familiar since I went out of my way to get Magic Initiate for it.
Uh... 20 charisma and 18 Con at level 5? I'd really like to believe that's true, but I need to confirm it anyway because it doesn't sound right. The DM said we are using Point-Buy for stats. Did you have that in mind when you chose your ability scores?
Ohp. I refreshed your character sheet and you changed it before I posted anything. Sorry.
Hi everyone,

I think I can apply and have fun... I've been waiting for a game to play, so I guess I'll start with my questions.

“The mark of a successful DM is when you have caused more player deaths with doors than dragons, demons, or devils.”
Good questions, sorry for the lack of details.
stats = point buy
starting level = 5
standard starting equipment, although possible exceptions due to starting level.
(I’m also altering the number of monsters to account for the small party)
Alright! My post should be fully up to date then! Out of curiosity... When will you be selecting players?

Deciding players tmrw
you 3 are likely it if you’re down!
get sheets ready and also an image of at least the characters face.

I have no preference as to the races and classes you guys pick. sometimes it’s fun to have different types of matchups anyway.
I’ll get the first level map set up tomorrow morning along with the images and the threads/campaign and get it all rolling with intro.
no evil alignment I don’t think it’ll work with the story.
I don’t mind multiclassing into warlock and we can have an all warlock party if @kevtr0n and @Pertuie want... Just an idea!
“The mark of a successful DM is when you have caused more player deaths with doors than dragons, demons, or devils.”
Totally cool with that! Would the image that I currently have (It's from HeroForge) work? I can totally find another face shot if you want.
“The mark of a successful DM is when you have caused more player deaths with doors than dragons, demons, or devils.”
That is fine as long as you can send me the actual image so I can crop it better. We can deal with this later though once I get the threads started
oh one last thing if you have played the first few dungeons I would rather have players that have not played this!
Haven't played DoMM yet... So I am good on this. I can send you the image as well (if/when you need it).

I have a twilight domain cleric that I would like to play if you need a support class / open to another player. I haven’t played DoMM either yet, but I have wanted to. Have you played Dragon Heist yet?
My new character has negative Charisma, and I actually intend to use her, so I'll pass on that, even though it sounded kinda fun.

That could be pretty fun~ Interesting at least. All delving for different gods~
Here is my sheet: still changing things for level 5. But it’ll be up to date soon.

Nice update~ As I said, still in progress. He’d been in another campaign that rolled, so I have to go update things. Should be legit now :)
