About the adventure
The Greenfields is a notoriously wild section of Faerun which many have failed to claim, but still they try. While the land remains largely unsettled, it is home to many beasts and bandits, monsters and men, anyone and anything that is strong enough to survive and that values freedom. But where there is freedom and danger, there are opportunists. Trading posts along the Chionthar river have grown into ambitious cities, barbarian tribes from the east have followed the wandering herds, and nobles from Amn and from Baldur's Gate ever seek new resources to exploit. For how long can The Greenfields remain free? "The Greenfields Conspiracy" is a legacy (2014) 5e campaign designed around exploration and intrigue for characters leveled 3-12. The campaign is compact, designed to run for 30 sessions with level increases after certain story points (intentionally spaced out to be roughly every 3rd session.) Players of any experience level are welcome! Rule of Cool is always in effect! This game is strictly theater-of-the-mind with occasional visual aids. We will play over Discord, and I will provide access to a dice rolling program if you don't wish to use your own. The game will move forward with purposeful pacing, but there will be plenty of opportunity for character-driven role play. While there will be times within the story that are designed to elicit specific moods or emotions, the overall mood at the table will be kept light-hearted.
Game style
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.
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.

How will character creation work
Everyone is expected to have their character created prior to the first session. Should you have any specific questions regarding your character or what is allowed, message me before game time to get them resolved. All official content created for 5E (2014 edition) is allowed, though with some specific restrictions or changes (limited flight and teleportation, no emotional immunities, nothing obviously game-breaking.) This campaign features balanced combat encounters, so power gaming or min/maxing characters is not required. Casuals, breathe easy. Characters will be created at level 3. Multi-classing requirements are in place, though can be relaxed in specific instances if good enough reason is given. Stat spread is point buy (27 points) with racial bonuses or the SlyFlourish Stat Array (16, 14, 14, 12, 12, 8) with no racial bonuses. All characters begin with the starting gear for their first level class, 800 gold, and any additional mundane gear that makes sense for their second and third level classes, if applicable. Players will be given the opportunity to shop between sessions. While not necessary, each player is encouraged to include a backstory (no longer than one typed page) tying their character to the city of Iriaebor, the City of a Thousand Spires (information about the city can be Googled, found on my Discord server, or requested via Discord DM.) Players are encouraged to include within their backstory at least one family member living in Iriaebor with whom they are on good terms. Players may also include whether they are outsiders seeking citizenship in Iriaebor, poor citizens looking to improve their lot in life, or members of one of the trade houses or temples desiring to rank up from a junior member to a full member. To reiterate: a backstory is not necessary, but helps me to create a more customized experience. Players are expected to submit their completed character sheets and backstories a day prior to session 1 so that I have time to double check their sheets and work their backstories into the main story.
