Storm King's Thunder 2 [Live Text][Enigma][Foundry]

About the adventure

The people of the Sword Coast are under attack! Hill giants are rampaging through their farms, destroying everything in their path and stealing their precious food and livestock. Fire giants are snatching up innocent villagers and forcing them into slavery, all while constructing some monstrous and deadly device. Meanwhile, the stone giants are tearing down structures that have been built by non-giants for centuries, leaving rubble and destruction in their wake. And the cloud giants are scouring the land in search of powerful artifacts that they believe will give them the edge they need to conquer all who oppose them. This game is DMed by Enigma, a mute dungeon master. This is a live-text campaign. What this means is, narration will take place entirely via text. This means that some things may take longer, but players will have more time to think over their characters' actions and dialogue. For combat, exploration, and dice rolls, FoundryVTT will be used. This allows for a multitude of possibilities. 🔹 A live text campaign means splitting the party isn't an issue; the GM can focus on many scenes 🔹 Perfect for people who prefer text to voice 🔹 If you want to use your voice, you can do so by sending an audio file 🔹 Additional roleplay opportunities exist with play-by-post outside of the scheduled session 🔹 A long campaign with plenty of opportunities for drop-ins 🔹 Custom character sidequests tied to character backstories 🔹 Bigby's 🔹 Visit places from the D&D Movie like the Underdark, Triboar, Neverwinter, and Waterdeep This campaign expertly merges the modules Tales from the Yawning Portal, Against the Giants, Dreams of the Red Wizards, and more with Storm King's Thunder, unifying a group of ragtag characters and preparing them to face mighty giants and more. This is an open-world campaign, meaning players choose where they want to go and what they want to do. ⚔️ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/8RtNxxG4G6 🖼️ Credits: Cover art illustrated and composited by Dreams.

🏳️‍🌈♾️👨🏾‍🦲 This is a safe table for people of all types. Dreams is trans and queer, Enigma is LGBTQIA+, and we are both neurodivergent. We hope to make a place where all can feel accepted, regardless of race, gender, beliefs. 👨🏾‍🦲♾️🏳️‍🌈 This is a live text campaign.

You connect with other players and the game master through a messaging platform or app, and use the software's text-based features to interact with each other and the game world. You describe your character's actions, thoughts, and dialogue through text, while the GM can provide descriptions of the environment, non-player characters (NPCs), and other important elements of the story. FoundryVTT will also include visual aids such as maps, tokens, and images. This type of gameplay can be a fun and flexible way to participate in roleplaying games, especially for those who prefer text-based communication or who are unable to use voice chat. Combat will move smoothly thanks to addons, and what Foundry has to offer will add to immersion. 📱 Don't have a PC that can use Foundry? No problem!

How will character creation work

💎 CREATING YOUR CHARACTER 💎 ------------------------------- 🔹 Start at Level 3. 🔹 Free Feat. Variant Human/Custom Lineage get an extra magic weapon. 🔹 Multiclassing and Feats are allowed. 🔹 Point-Buy (27) or standard-array for stats. 🔹 Average Hit Points 🔹 Start with two uncommon magic items and three common. 🔹 Starting Gear + 100GP to purchase potions, scrolls, equipment, or to hoard. 🔹 Join the Discord and work out backstory with the GM. 💎 THIRD-PARTY CONTENT & PRE-GENS 💎 ------------------------------- 🔹 I will allow any official D&D content (within reason, please flavor if it's from another setting). We have a way of wiggling in just about anything. 🔹 I also love custom/third-party content (homebrew), and within long-term campaigns, I want to give you the option to use custom content. Homebrew races and subclasses will be allowed, within reason. Provide me with the name of the material or your idea for what you want, and I'll sit down and help you get it into D&D Beyond and Avrae. This is with the disclaimer that if it ends up too powerful, we will adjust it. 🔹 Don't want to make a character? I will have pre-generated characters available, or I can work with you to make the character you want. 💎 CONSUMABLE PURCHASES 💎 ------------------------------- 🔹 HEALING POTIONS: Healing - 50gp /// Greater Healing- 100gp /// Superior Healing - 500gp /// Supreme Healing - 1000gp 🔹 POTIONS: Climbing - 75gp /// Animal Friendship - 100gp /// Water Breathing - 100gp /// Invisibility - 5000gp 🔹 SCROLLS: Cantrip - 25gp /// 1st - 75gp /// 2nd - 150gp /// 3rd - 300gp /// 4th - 500gp /// 5th - 1000gp
