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 finalized a total of 6-8 players, including my co-DM, @JBRam2002, I will start the IC.

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

See the previous interest check for further details.

If your character has been approved and you feel comfortable posting it in the Characters tab, please do so.

We are going to start out at level 5, so your backstory can be designed with that in mind, but keep it purposefully hidden from the other PCs. With that limitation in mind, feel free to have an extensive backstory; I WILL incorporate your backstory and make it relevant to our campaign. If you don't want to write much, then we will just tie you in with forward progression instead of backstory integration.

Maps will vary from Theater of the Mind to Roll20 constructions.

To flesh out your character, please PM me any or all of these answers (or not, and munch on them while we progress through the campaign) with a brief concept (minimum of 1-3 lines) of your backstory. These questions serve to help flesh out your character to me.
