Very fair to deny Grung. they can be a bit pesky.

I changed my mind! I am going for a bard. Is that ok?

EDIT: Fixed the OOC link~

Open to New Players!

0/2 Positions open

Hi there. I'm looking for 2 new potential recruits to join our Dungeon of the Mad Mage roleplay. I would appreciate a healer being added to the party dynamic if possible.

My main criteria:

• Must be able to commit to one post every ten days. Counters will be given on day seven and extensions granted, but consistancy is required.
• Experience with D&D is not required, just an eagerness to play and learn.

[kingeditor]

@Mae *Raises hand.*

Hi! I'm new to these forums, but I've played D&D a long time. And, with that experience, I certainly know how important a healer is, so I'd be willing to play one!

[Mae]

@kingeditor That would be excellent! You can use whatever sheet generator you are most comfortable with (myth-weavers, dicecloud, dndbeyond, ect). I can also provide a roll20 link or a standard bbcode CS if you like.

Further race/class information generation is all snug in the 1st post. Do you have any questions?

[kingeditor]

@Mae Hmm... let me think.

Do you have any restrictions regarding what alignment we can play as? I was thinking of playing as a priest who was ousted from his position for corruption– a fact which he hides from the rest of the party– and, while possessing some desire to reform himself, also retains some of his base tendencies.

And what is the method for rolling stats? Is it in order, or can we assign the numbers wherever we like? And is it 4d6, drop 1 or some other method like just rolling 3d6?

[Mae]

@kingeditor I cut my teeth in older editions and don't mind much what alignment people play. So long as your character has a strong enough reason / motivation to work co-cooperatively with the party, I think having a mix of alignments makes things more interesting and develops some strong interparty dynamics among the characters. That being said I would not accept, say, a chaotic character stabbing other characters in their sleep or looting all their gear, or allowing a player to use their alignment as an excuse to ruin everyone's fun.

Basically if you think a particular action would be particularly dickish or step on some toes, announce it in the OOC first and see what people think. Rule of cool applies ;) I don't think it'll be an issue.

Rolling is 4d6 for each stat and drop the lowest. If you happen to get something utterly abysmal, let me know though.

[kingeditor]

@Mae Okay, thanks! He won't do anything that would harm the party, he just might do some things that are... not priestly.

I'll get to work on the character as soon as I can!

[Mae]

@kingeditor Sounds interesting, can't wait to see him!

[Salty Spitoon]

Are you still looking for people? I've always wanted to play D&D though could never find people in my area to play with. I am quite a newbie but eager to learn!

EDIT: Basically I know it's a game of actions and consequences. And that most actions require dice rolling on a pass/fail scale.

[Mae]

@Salty Spitoon yep, I'm currently accepting applications until I get some through to review.

Absolutely no problem if you're new. Character creation is a bit of a doozy for the uninitiated, so if you dont have someone walking you through it, I will be available to help this evening (4+ hours ish) as well as tomorrow and Monday. If you have a time that's good for you, drop me a PM and we can work through it. A-ok if you want to give it a go yourself as well.

[Salty Spitoon]

@Mae Awesome! So glad to hear you're still accepting applications!

And I would love your assistance once you have time! I should be available in 4ish hours if you'd still be willing to help at that time! ^-^

EDIT: I am available both on here and Discord :) Which ever would be of more convenient to you when the time comes. :)

[kingeditor]

@Mae So I just started making my character, and I realize I need to ask some more questions!

Are feats allowed? Are we using encumbrance?

[Mae]

@kingeditor No feats this time round actually! I usually love playing with them but flat out forgot to appropriately mention them. As none of the current players opted for them I think we will stay feat-free.

We are using encumberance, ammo, food\drink and exhaustion rules.

[kingeditor]

@Mae Cool! I chose not to use a feat anyway, but I was just wondering.

[kingeditor]

@MaeI just finished my sheet on D&D Beyond: ddb.ac/characters/15055944/3owatU

[kingeditor]

@Mae I just wrote up my character's appearance and backstory. Should I post them in the character thread?

[Mae]

@kingeditor not yet, I haven't had a chance to properly review it, but from quick read it's looking good. I'll likely give it a more in depth look tommorrow.

[kingeditor]

@Mae Okay. Thanks! Wait, but actually, since you haven't seen what I've written yet, should I send it to you first for approval?
