Bridgerton, Austen? An Unexpected Wedding Invitation is for you.
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
An Unexpected Wedding Invitation is a mystery adventure inspired by Jane Austen for the fifth edition of the world's greatest roleplaying game. You are invited to an elvish wedding and an evening filled with mystery, intrigue, and romance. The event is a wonderful opportunity for finding love and ever-lasting friendships. However, social events are perilous. Small mistakes can lead to gossip, a tarnished reputation, public disaster -- and even dangerous duels. To make things worse, someone is suddenly found dead! You must find out what happened before the evening is over, but without rousing the suspicious of the other guests or potential love interests. Look for clues. Sharpen your wits. Interview the wedding guests. Can you solve the mystery before the evening is over?
Game style
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.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
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.

How to prepare
Read some Jane Austen or The Princess Bride, watch some Austen and/or Bridgerton, and bring your imagination and mystery-solving capabilities along with your sense of fun and adventure. Join the Discord Server, select a pregen PC or create one according to the rules in the Discord Server, and come ready to roleplay.
What I provide
I have the book and all files imported to FoundryVTT. Players may use a premade PC or create their own using supplied character creation guidelines. Players will need to be able to access Foundry via a web browser and Discord for chatting. As a lifelong Jane Austen fan and a lover of history and mysteries, I will do my best to do all these wonderful things justice with in-depth characters that can grow, develop, and communicate well with PCs, assist PCs with puzzles if it appears to be overwhelming, and I will provide ambiance via graphics, descriptions, and music.
Gameplay details
During Session 0, we will discuss any concerns and expectations. There will be a small list of rules and links in our Discord server. If you need anything at all, please reach out on Discord. During my day and evenings (GMT +1), I am almost always available.

How will character creation work
Characters will be level 3 at the beginning of this small but fun adventure. A list of character creation rules will be provided in the Discord server which will be available to all players once they sign up for the game. If you are new to DnD 5e or to roleplaying or just don't feel like making a PC, there will be pregens available on a first come, first serve basis, and I am also happy to assist in the creation of PCs.
