The Savage Frontier (also known as the North) is a cold, rugged, sparsely populated land of snow-capped mountains, rocky hills, sprawling forests, and foggy vales. Isolated strongholds, ancient burial mounds, and the ruins of many forgotten empires dot this vast landscape. Bounded by the Sea of Swords to the west and the desert of Anauroch to the east, the Savage Frontier extends as far north as Icewind Dale and as far south as the town of Daggerford. Old roads stretch across this great expanse, linking the dwarven strongholds and mines in the mountains to the coastal settlements, frontier towns, and fortified outposts of humans and other folk. These roads are long, lonely, or poorly defended, making them dangerous to traverse. In fertile valleys, towns and cities have sprung up, separated by dozens if not hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness haunted by bandits, barbarians, and monsters.
Evil dragons stirred into action by their dark queen, Tiamat, threatened the settlements of the Savage Frontier for a time. Ultimately, they were defeated and forced to withdraw to their lairs, while Tiamat was banished to the Nine Hells. Fear of the dragons’ wrath has faded quickly with the coming of a new threat: giants. The peoples of the North are no strangers to giant incursions. Frost giants have long claimed the Spine of the World as their demesne, and hill giants are known to scrounge for food in the untamed hills. But now, in the past couple of months, giants of every kind have emerged from their strongholds in force to threaten civilization as never before — and not just frost giants and hill giants, but also stone giants, fire giants, and cloud giants. All of the giants are in an uproar. Reports of giant attacks throughout the North have reached the coastal cities of Luskan, Neverwinter, and Waterdeep, stoking fears that the giants are waging war against humans, dwarves, elves, and other small folk.
Welcome to my recruitment thread for Storm King's Thunder! Most of you may be familiar with this adventure so I'm hoping to acquire players that have never played this before. If you have played before, you can still apply but I'll be observing closely to ensure you won't be meta-gaming. I recently played this adventure with a group of friends and had completed the adventure in its entirety. Since then, I was inspired to conduct an adventure of my own in the form of a PbP campaign. There will be certain criteria players will need to meet before I'll consider recruiting them. Those will be listed below:
Activity. I seek to recruit those who can actively post at least once a day. Availability is key when it comes to running a campaign smoothly. It would be fantastic if my players are active enough to post several times a day to maintain a steady progress. I understand events can occur outside of the internet and as long as you inform of your absence ahead of time, all will be forgiven.
Time Zone. Now this is where it gets hectic. I live in the USA, Eastern time zone. I know the forums cater to many players around the globe, so I'm in search of players who would be available to play during the same time as me. However, I work a job at the office during the night shift, with a schedule of Wed-Sun 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. I have computer access during this time and will be available to play. In essence, I'll be searching for players who may have a similar schedule as me.
Discord. I love Discord as a whole. I use it for WoW and have since started using it for DND. For this campaign, I'll be creating a Discord server in which will serve as our OOC discussion area and our Session 0 will be conducted there as well. I want my players to have Discord, so if you don't have it, then get it!
As mentioned above, there's criteria that needs to be met before I'll recruit you. Therefore, I don't expect you to have a character ready for this adventure since I plan to host a Session 0 via Discord to discuss character selection and party type. Reason being, is because my idea for this campaign is for the party to be members of a Faction who were assigned the task of investigating the assaults by the giants. The factions could be either Harpers, Emerald Enclave, Order of the Gauntlet, or Zhentarim. I'm willing to leave this up for the debate once the players of been selected to determine what suits the players best.
Without further ado, I present to you the application below. Please post your application as a reply to this thread. If you aren't comfortable with sharing personal information, then you may PM your applications. Remember, I'm not expecting you to have a character prepared in advance, so you don't need to worry about posting character sheets or asking about character creation.
Activity: (Rate your activity & availability on a scale from 1-10. 1 being not very active, 10 being very active.) Time Zone: ( As mentioned above, I'm US EST, but I work Night Shift, so hopefully you'll have a similar schedule to me.)

I'm currently in another PbP game, and have had little problem keeping up with daily updates. I've never played Storm King's Thunder before either, so I'd be excited to play through it!
