This is an experimental one shot that I would like to try running. I would like to have 4-7 players. You will not be playing normal characters - you will pick off of the list below for your race.
As far as setting goes, you have been captured by a group of adventurers and sold to a wizard for his research purposes. You will begin the game in his workshop, and the entire one shot will be devoted to your attempts to escape. There will be many opportunities for mayhem, acquisition of magical items, new abilities, and, hopefully, fun! This game is about using a very limited skill set to overcome challenges.
Here is the list of possible playable races, and if you choose to randomly roll off the list, I am inclined to modify your choice with an extra ability, skill, or some other bonus. Hope this interests you!
Hmmm.... this seems cool! I’ve always wanted to play an Intellect Devourer. How would we play? Would we not have sheets and just use the statblocks, make home brew races with even classes, etc?
(Test roll:9)
(Boo! Boring. Least I was just testing what i’d Get. Now, with my luck, i’l. Get a flumph.)
-Hambergler: Yeah, for sure! I tried to pick only races that I feel are conducive to a fun game.
-BoboBoombang: We would probably just use the given Monster Manual stat blocks, yes. Some changes might be made if some races are significantly stronger/weaker than most of the others. In general, though, I am inclined to let things be, and to figure things out from there. I don't have any higher tier subscriptions on Dndbeyond, so I am not sure if I am even allowed to make or use homebrew content. Worth checking into, though.
You can always make it, no matter what. And publish. But you need a Campaign with people in it to access it for others, or someone with a Master Tier to get it themselves.
If you have more questions about Homebrew, ask. I can’t answer as well as anyone else can :)
And that will do it! 8 will do - just be aware that, given the one shot nature of this campaign, rolling "new characters" may not really be a thing - but we'll see! This is quite experimental!
I will add you all to a new private campaign thread momentarily, and will officially start things off relatively soon.
We will not use character sheets - just look up the monster manual stats, copy-paste, and you are good to go! I will do my best to keep track of HP if it becomes necessary, but feel free to keep me honest!

I'd be interested in trying this out - Pseudodragon or imp would be interesting.

Hay I'm new to the d&d online and this seems fun trying to see if there is a spot open
New to d&d looking for a good group to start off with
What age/color would the faerie dragon be? Should I possibly roll a d7 to determine that?
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Looks like people like it! Hehe.

This sounds brilliant, if you still have a few spaces I will be in to play whatever, unless you want me to roll.
GM - Limbo's Pit PvE
This sounds bloody incredible. I don't know if there's any spaces open left, but I at least want to see what I'd get. 4
PbP characters:
Allison Adrova - Reign of the Dragon King
Delilah Thorne - Eidolons of Eramyth
Melody Velias (Spy) - Power Trip
Very interested in joining if there's a spot left.
And that will do it! 8 will do - just be aware that, given the one shot nature of this campaign, rolling "new characters" may not really be a thing - but we'll see! This is quite experimental!

Having trouble connecting to the campaign?
GM - Limbo's Pit PvE
There’s an error.
I’ll add a blank sheet there, and put my Monster in the Creatures section. Got it?
