The Overgrown Citadel [Beginner/LGBTQ+ Safe!]

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The world is being overtaken by nature, the wilds grow and beasts big and small roam the land in higher quantities than ever. Humanoids and other intelligent races have less and less space to call their own, so the now Overgrown Citadel and its 5 spires are one of the last inhabited places on the planet. In this city, some blame the large number of worshipers of the Wild-Mother, while others think it's an elaborate scheme from the world's Devils to overthrow the cycle of life. Either way magic is manifesting itself more differently than ever. The Overgrown Citadel's world is filled with Druids, rangers, and clerics. With a large city to explore there is a certainty that this game includes politics, mysteries, fights, and friendship. This city represents one of the last bastions of civilization that remain in the large extensive wilds. How are you going to try and help the 5 spires prosper?

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Recruiting notes

The party comprises many different people from different parts of the world. Right now the party is exploring the kingdom of lycanthropes one continent over, trying to save their friend who got captured a few sessions ago. The party is level 5!

How to prepare

Get a drink, get a snack, get a comfy chair and a stable internet connection and we will be fine! Other requirements like a PC and accounts for the aforementioned websites/services are of course also needed.

What I provide

I hope to bring a happy attitude + handouts for homebrew items and spells! Also: Illustrations of your character can be bought if we play a few sessions together! The commission prices depend on the size and quality of the artwork but this we can discuss later.

Gameplay details

There are some documents and links if you were to join that range from necessary to interesting. A consent form, a document with personal table rules, a discord server link, a roll20 campaign link, etc. I would love to aid you with this if you would want my help ❤️ I promise to be inclusive to everyone that plays without malicious intent, anyone that uses threats and ridicules others will result in a ban at my table (let's have some respect while still poking fun at one another once in a while). Players can expect a good mix between combat and roleplay, depending on their wishes the 50-50% mix can be scaled to be anything else.

How will character creation work

Character creation will happen with the aid of a clear and well-written document that will hold 99% of the information you need to start with, after that point, I'm more than willing to aid you in the challenge. Use roll20 or Dndbeyond to keep track of your character, and in the case of the latter use the Beyond20 extension to link back to roll20 where we host our sessions. My usual table rules for character creation: • All races, classes, and backgrounds are allowed. Homebrew content can be allowed if discussed beforehand. • Multiclassing and Feats are certainly allowed • Stats are as follows: roll 4d6, re-roll any 1's, then remove the lowest, (aka keep the 3 highest). Alternatively, you can choose to use the standard array or point buy method, even after having seen your set of rolls. • Choose how involved you want me to be in the character creation process, if you want existing NPC's to be part of your backstory then don't be afraid to ask! • Custom Rules at my table: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/4LbyWsE8XaUc • Message me for help!
