DnD 5e/5.5e

Join an unprecedented alliance seeking to root out a corruption spreading across the realm. Dive into twisted horror filled domains as you seek the source and destroy it. Expect to hunt deadly monsters, navigate an undead masquerade, outwit a twisted hag, and execute a heist right under the nose of a vampire lord. You will explore ancient tombs, overthrow undead warlords, survive twisted labs, and more while navigating the politics of vampire courts, lycanthrope clans, and hag covens. Expect tactical combat, meaningful roleplay, and a story driven by your choices. This campaign is a dark fantasy, gothic horror domain crawl across the Mists of Ravenloft. Knowledge of Ravenloft lore is not required! You will uncover its twisted secrets as you explore. This game is perfect for those who enjoy Castlevania, Van Helsing, Bloodborne, and similar adventures. Never roll a d20 before? I can walk you through everything you need to become the hero the world needs! This is a combat heavy, monster hunting game. $15/session through here: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmuvkuxiz0013kt04s7zalxxy?slug=cly4hl6oe0067fuv70a54yaqv

This continent-spanning campaign takes place in 535 PA. In the wake of a war that is still relatively recent, tensions are high between the countries of Ingentes. Banditry has been rising to alarmingly common levels, Druidic and Arcane magic is outlawed and seen a "Witchcraft" by the Holy Elysian Chamber, and no matter where you go, fear of the other countries and monsters that lurk in the dark is prevalent. This negativity is exactly what the forces that would destroy Ingentes need to spark the fires of war. In this campaign, each player makes their own character and their own decisions. I have an overarching storyline, but there are plenty of branching paths and objectives that allow the heroes to do as they please. I plan to make this campaign an open-world westmarch, where the players are free to do whatever they like, whether that's forming one big group or multiple small ones! If any of you want to form a splinter group or go on a solo adventure, that's allowed! This campaign features hack-and-slash adventure, dungeon crawling, mysteries, and political intrigue. There's something for everyone in this campaign, and a full map to explore with a campaign that's written as you progress! To make this easier for everyone, this is a playbypost campaign, a text-based adventure over Discord with no official start or stop: I'll be regularly available almost every day to DM, and the weekly payment will happen every Sunday.

I am looking to start a new long-term group to run through the Hoard of the Dragon Queen and potentially beyond. This portion of the post is normally where I sell the campaign module. But Hoard of the Dragon Queen is already pretty famous, so suffice it to say- There will be adventure, there will be dungeons and there inevitably WILL BE DRAGONS! We will be playing in person at my house, using miniatures and wargaming terrain. I live near 1-25 and Eisenhower Blvd in Loveland. Game night will be determined by the group but game time will be roughly 530 to 830/9pm. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate a weeknight or weekend schedule. My house is a non-smoking environment, so feel free to smoke/puff before you show up. If you want to have a few beers while we play, thats fine. But i try to keep drinking to a 2 drink minimum since people getting tanked at the table is a problem. Also, I have 2 dogs, so if you are allergic this might not be the game for you.    As far as how I am as a DM, I'd say I run a game world that takes itself seriously.  The dice come out in every session, and I lean more heavily into combat than i do role-playing. I prefer players that are driven, and want to achieve things in the game. I also think the most important player quality is attendance. People missing games and cancelling is the #1 reason games die off.     I prefer to stick with the standard PHB lineages. For classes and subclasses, I am ok with homebrew, but it will need to be approved and if I have a problem with whatever it is, we will try to rework it before I say it's not going to work.     I also homebrew enemy stat blocks heavily. If you are the type of person who has memorized the entire monster manual and will become upset when the enemies use spells and abilities that aren't in the book, this is not the game for you.    The Hoard of the Dragon Queen is one of the first modules ever released for 5th Edition, and it is a bit rough around the corners. I'll be making some edits to the module, mostly to make the game more enjoyable to run and to play.    The characters will be starting at level 1, and the group will decide if we roll for stats or if we use the standard array.    There's always tons of stuff i forget to write during a LFG post, so if you have questions feel free to reply, message me directly, or feel free to hit me up on discord- biossecond
