5th Age D&D 2024 weekly Open-World (Greyhawk)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
If you like grit and adventuring into a somewhat coherent world where magic wonders and danger abound, join the 5th Age campaign and write your own story. All groups play in the same world and what they do may affect other groups. Once your application has been accepted, you will be provided with a Discord channel invite link where you will find all the necessary links to build your character and join the game.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
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.

Gameplay details
Note that all my groups are playing in the same universe, defined by the 5th Age moniker. When a character is created in this universe, the player will chose how to make them affect the world around for as long as they keep playing their characters. A character will become a NPC with the history they have played if a player decides to abandon their character or leave the campaign. Characters are not dropped in randomly in the middle of dungeons and I do not do one-off games in that context, I only run games connected to the 5th Age campaign. The groups may be in different worlds, planes or timelines but they all exist within the same multiverse, and follow all the same rules, both for building their characters and for playing the game. Read my wiki page for to learn more about my DMing style https://homerules.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/introduction I use the TTRPG Safety Toolkit (https://twitter.com/TTRPGSafetyKit) during my games.

How will character creation work
Our session zero must be done and your character should be created before the start of your first session, to respect the other players' gaming time. Session zero allows us to make sure the tech works for you, troubleshoot any issues, do a dry run of using the online game table, and discuss details of your character's background. It usually takes one hour or so (free of charges). Character creation use the standard array generation method. All races and classes in official 5E content is allowed. You can read more about the character building rules on my wiki at https://homerules.obsidianportal.com/wikis/character-building
