Swampmuck is the classiest village in at least a twenty four mile radius, boasting the muddiest of fields and proudly representative of one flea-bitten donkey. Located on the northern border of festering swampland where no humanoid creature with any real standards would live, the only reason anyone ever mistakenly travels here is for the annual harvest festival.
You are a commoner who calls Swampmuck home, and your life is about to change forever. This year's harvest festival - home to such amazements as this year's giant vegetable competition and a real life dragonling - is about to be visited by a representative of the Mage's Guild. A representative who's looking to pay some adventurers more money then you've ever heard of. Enough money to make you richer then the richest person you've ever met.
And all he wants help with is testing out some fancy sticks...

Strap in for some weird random nonsense because stuff is about to get =wild=
This is a Commoner's Curse of 300 Wands game set in 5E. For those who don't know, a group of commoners are tasked with testing out a selection of magic wands. Each wand has an entirely random quirk. The aim of the game is to test all the wands and find out what all the quirks are. Simple, right? What could possibly go wrong.
► The genre of this game is fantasy Comedy. Any attempt at dark, gritty angsty deliciousness shall be foiled by the random quirks, I assure you. If you're looking for some light-hearted fun and don't mind things going potentially catastrophically awry, this game is for you. Who knows, your characters might live to be fully fledged adventurers!
► If you're new to D&D, you're very much welcome to join, however I would highly recommend playing a traditional D&D game as your first experience instead. This is most certainly not that.
► Heads up, my commitment to this thread is low and the posting style is free - low casual.
► This game is a Sandbox. The world is minimally fleshed out with various points of interest. The high random element to this game and my previous experiences running Commoner's Curse, means my gm style will be more adaptive in nature rather then following a set storyline. In the same vein, I am very happy for players to add their own spin on the world. Just keep me in the loop regarding ideas you have.

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
► Everyone starts as a Lvl 1 Commoner. Your starting stats are 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 or 12, 10, 10, 10, 10, 8 (not including racial modifiers).
► You can be any race you want from any official supplement. Customs will be examined on a case by case basis.
► You can have any background you like including picking from custom ones (I recommend it if you're having trouble finding an appropriate Commoner-esque background in the PHB), so long as it makes sense. No Commoner Rocket Scientists I'm afraid.
► I usually run with weight, ammo, food and water, ect. but I'm not convinced this game type is suitable for that sort of thing. We will likely start with these things implemented, but it's possible they will get removed if those system seem obsolete for this style of play.
