This campaign will initially originate within this City of Splendors, but will eventually traverse the many expanses of the Forgotten Realms.

We will be utilizing the 5e rule set, starting at 5th level. Stats will be fettered to a 20 point buy. No magic items at the start, but will be rife throughout this homebrew. You can have any starting non-magical gear you desire (just remember encumberance) plus an additional 250 gold.

Any and all races, alignments, and Unearthed Arcana are allowed, but the CS, in its entirety, must be approved by moi.

Character sheets are to be made using mythweaver and PM'ed to me. Once approved, please post the CS url link in the interest check below.

For maps, I am still anguishing which best visual method to employ.

Combat will be mostly conducted in the OOC, but you can always summarize your action in a post, if you so choose, for literary flava flav. IC posts can span a few lines to multiple paragraphs, if ye so desire, but I do request that once every 1-5 days (out of combat), one either posts in the IC, or just explain what your character is doing in a particular encounter in the OOC, if you are not able to do so. In specific encounters, I may be firm and require a strict IC post (mostly for verbal exchanges), before advancing our tale.

Ideally, once we have a total of 5 players, including my co-DM, @JBRam2002, I will open the IC.

Anything else? Just submit your inquiries, complaints, or comments below.

I've been reading a bit more into Forgotten Realms a bt more, so color me with possible interest! I may make a Warlock of Gilgeam, possibly.

Obviously stating interest. :P

I will add that as co-DM, my job is mostly a supportive role. I will be helping clarify rules and suggest rulings to Gordi, but I will likely not be involved in the story. Also, all final rule decisions are Gordi's unless he delegates something to me.

That said, I'd be happy to help anyone out with their characters. I don't know an awful lot about existing D&D lore, and I have no clue what this campaign holds for us, but I'm sure it will be an intriguing ride with Gordi at the helm.

I can fill pretty much any role, but I've got an interesting barbarian/monk build I've been dying to test out. Kensei monk + Zealot barbarian, both from UA. The above link is a build from a different set of rules and hasn't been updated with the revised UA, but it's close to my plans.

Nice! I can't wait to witness the glory!

@JBRam2002 Wonderful idea! Your CS is a perfect example.

Let me also add to everyone to keep your intricate backstories hidden from everyone else, 'cept me, o'course. This way we can all see them unfold in the IC.

One more item of business: you do not have to know each other, and I would actually prefer isolated strangers from different parts of the world over weaved friendships.

Let's get smashin', and bashin', and crashin', while we dashin'!

Yay! We have 3! @Lauder, any inkling of what you would play?

I'm thinking of playing an Artificer, debating on whether I want to be a gunsmith or alchemist, currently.

Coolio, @Lauder! Either would be fantastic!

@Lauder I've never seen a Gunslinger Artitifer done before, if you'd like any suggestions!

I've played a Gunslinger, and she's quite fun! Sadly, Gunslinger by itself is a tad limited on options, but I always crossclass anyways. That character went Tempest Cleric 4 / Gunslinger Artificer 8. What's more fun than maximizing thunder damage when you get to add like 8d8 thunder damage to every shot?

That's a sweet mash-up!

Also feel unrestrained to ask away on anything, if y'all have any burning questions.

Color me interested :D

Color me interested :D

Excellent! I hope you like black!

I am also willing to expand the previously listed cap from 5 total players to around 6-7 depending on interest, since we now already have 4.

@Gordian Nought Black? Black? Black is my fave color... it's the color of my soul!!! rofl

@Gordian Nought Looks like we have Tank, Range, and Mage. We're probably missing heals and sneaks at the moment, depending on what @Daemanis and @Cu Chulainn choose. I know I've got one other person who might be interested too.

@JBRam2002 have sent @Gordian Nought a message about a possible character :P

Sweet, @JBRam2002! Even better! I believe that juggling more peeps won't be an issue. 7-8 might be pushing it, but I can be easily persuaded.

And, yes, I promise to exploit the weaknesses and strengths of the party through these upcoming adventures. :)

Lastly, I have a few plot mechanics to keep everyone together, but realize free will is gonna be emphasized here, more than most campaigns.

@Daemanis Sent a reply. Cool CS!
