About the adventure
Farming is an honest living, but after hearing strangers in the tavern telling tales of fantastic beasts and treasure hoards piled with gold, jewels, and fantastic weapons and armors, this life pales in comparison to what you could seize for yourself as an adventurer! You have spent some time in the levees, so you know something of warfare, and are skilled enough with a bow to bring down the largest buck the town has seen one season, so why not? These passing adventurers were never clear as to exactly where this treasure is to be found, but after listening to enough of the stories these infrequent travelers boast of, you think you have figured out where to start. After packing a bag and selecting a nice spear to carry as a walking staff, you head west. Every journey begins with the first step. This is a custom campaign using most of the D&D 5e rules available in the core rulebooks. While there will be some outdoor adventure and travels, most of it should take place in dungeons and caverns where the players will negotiate traps, sneak past or fight monsters, and collect treasure and magic to eventually become heroes of the realm. Basically, this will be an adventuring-heavy dungeoncrawl, though there will be some opportunity for roleplaying and conversation.
Additional Details
How to prepare
Discord account, with Microphone (camera optional), Fantasy Grounds Unity account. Helps to have read D&D 5e PHB to understand the rules, but not required. We'll learn as we go along.
What I provide
Up front, I must apologize for my love of puns. That out of the way, I use Discord for voice/video and Fantasy Grounds Unity for VTT. Most all of my maps are made by me in Dungeondraft, and the few that aren't are free to use from other sources. Plenty of Theatre of the Mind to go around. This will primarily be based on Dungeons and Dragons 5e core rules, but I have changed a few things that will be outlined in Session 0. I am fair with my rules rulings: what goes for the players also goes for the monsters.
Gameplay details
Players attending will discuss the gameplay and what's expected during a free Session 0 to decide if this game is right for them. Players will be able to express their game wishes at this time as well.
