Description

Salutations, Adventure seekers! I'm looking to run a weekly Saturday online campaign of "Phandelver and Below" for a group of 5 to 6 players who are just starting out with Dungeons and Dragons or who have some minimal experience with TTRPGs and want to take on a longer campaign. If you are a experienced player and interested in playing NPCs, some listings will appear at a later date, but you can still contant me if you are interested. Each session will run approx 2-3 hours, maybe 4, if players are up for it and have time. Some sessions may be shorter (1.5 - 2 hours)  IMPORTANT!! Before reading on, be sure that these session starting times are suitable for you.  Sessions will be held starting from the time that is listed. TIMEZONES (all same time slot/starting time, depending on your region): GMT starting at 2:00 pm CET starting at 4:00 pm EST  starting at 10:00 am CST starting at 9:00 am The meat on the bones: Game will be held in English. Spoken and written english on an easily understandable level is a requirement. There will be a grammar test for the barbarians. Voice-chat will be through discord. VTT: Owlbear Starting lvl: 1 Ending level: 4 if you do not want to play past the first 4 chapters, otherwise ~12 XP gain: both milestone and traditional, bonus individual XP for good roleplaying. Books and references: All 5.5e core books + 5ed and 5.5ed major supplementary books (don't worry about it, if you don't know what those are) What the campaign is (publishers text, somewhat edited): "Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk" is a comprehensive Dungeons & Dragons campaign designed to take players from the very beginning of their journey at level 1 all the way to level 12. It serves as an expanded, modernized version of the original beloved starter adventure "Lost Mine of Phandelver", making it arguably the most beginner-friendly entry point into the hobby. The story begins as the players travel to the frontier town of Phandalin to assist a dwarf patron and unfurl from there. The campaign itself is set within the Forgotten Realms, the flagship and most popular world for Dungeons & Dragons that first made it's debut in 1987, often likened to a high-fantasy "everything plus the kitchen sink" setting because it accommodates almost any story type. The journey specifically unfolds on the continent of Faerûn, a vast land modeled loosely after medieval Europe, but infused with ubiquitous magic, active deities, and a rich tapestry of diverse cultures. The significance of this setting lies in its role as the "default" universe for modern D&D; it provides a shared cultural touchstone for millions of players and serves as the backdrop for iconic media like Baldur's Gate 3 and the movie Honor Among Thieves. Over the span of its lifetime approx. 300 novels, novellas, and short story anthologies have been publiches to draw inspiration from and to breathe life into the setting.

Monday - Thursday    A group decides on day & time Most people will probably play between 16:00 – 21:00 (GMT+0) It'll be played in a Discord voice chat "Theatre of the Mind" playstyle (means no VTT) Discord (weebseatshit) *PREMISE* You are dragged into a dangerous encounter together with other unlucky ones. Now you are bonded whether you want it or not. Since you are a witness, some people want you dead, watch your back(s) & trust no one It's an RP-focused, Forgotten Realms based homebrew campaign, with an emphasis on story & adventures Ratio: 60 Roleplay/30 Exploration/10 Combat Starting level is 1, Point Buy, Milestone leveling Spells become cantrips, a player can cast them without components or GP Cooldown of spells depends from their power level & the DM's will, but if a player is gonna spam spells, i'll Elfen Lied him or put some shit like Leo Bonhart from Witcher  Some spells that affect game's balance & world, may be forbidden. It'll be discussed HP are cinematic. Depending from how much & what kind of damage a character receives, i'll adjust his condition Only these races are allowed: Human, Elf (Moon, Wood), Dwarf, Goliath, Tiefling (Purple, Pink, Blue), Tystling (a human with cat ears (& eyes)) Artificer & Psion aren't allowed I'll describe locations & looks with little to no detail Just like with the books, i'd prefer that every player imagined their own stuff (& because there may be an info that player may not get or just ignore) About forbidden spells As an example, this is only level 1 Wizard, but i hope you get an idea Mending Charm Person Detect Magic Detect Poison and Disease Friends Unseen Servant Tasha's Hideous Laughter Sudden Awakening Sleep Sense Emotion Puppet Identify Id Insinuation Healing Elixir Disguise Self Comprehend Languages Cause Fear Ressurection & lethal spells Instead of using ability checks or in-game tools (acquiring unique items, talking to people, searching for clues, improvise), a player casts a spell that speedruns a campaign But a player can prepare all other spells A tystling is similar to a cat Monochrome darkvision Enhanced senses: smell, hearing, vision, touch & balance (+3 Dexterity, Perception, Acrobatics) Soft step: walking is almost noiseless (unless a tystling has something noisy on), running is slightly quieter comparing to other races (+4 Stealth) A tystling is shorter than an elf, but taller than a dwarf A tystling is slim like an elf, but lighter than an elf, with smaller muscles. That makes a tystling even more agile & dexterous than an elf, but it's very hard for a tystling to lift or carry medium heavy things (8 AC, -5 Strength, Athletics)

Sea Wolves: Salt & Sorecery

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
The old world has drowned. Life carries on across floating settlements and scattered islands, while lost civilisations lie beneath the waves. Ships carry stories, supplies, and strangers between communities built from the remnants of what came before. Some seek a fresh start; others search for answers in the wreckage of the past. Ancient relics, unfamiliar shores, and things stirring in the deep await beyond the horizon. Fancy exploring a flooded fantasy world and making some friends along the way? I’m putting together a tabletop group in Amsterdam (Czaar Peterstraat, 15 min from CS). Organised every other week (depending on everyone’s interest and availability) Snacks & good vibes included. Sea Wolves: Salt & Sorcery is a post-apocalyptic fantasy story sandbox about finding our place in the world. Expect lots of roleplaying, collective storytelling and rewarding combat encounters, played with paper minis on a digital map. Rescue, recover, protect, escape: 'defeat all enemies' is almost never the main objective. What do you find in that wreck? Who do you recognise in the harbour? Sometimes you tell me, other times I'll tell you. Character motivations and relationships are at the core of our story. Follow a mystery, help a settlement, chase your ambition, pet a turtle? The ocean has plenty of room for adventure, mystery, friendship, humour, and dubious schemes. Ik spreek gewoon Nederlands, but we'll play mostly in English. There’s room to have fun, be creative and express yourself. I like doing voices, you're encouraged (but never expected) to get goofy and do so as well. I’d love an inclusive, diverse group where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. Come curious and be kind. Boundaries are always respected, no questions asked. New players are welcome!

The world of Phelun is an old one that has seen many conflicts throughout its history.

It currently features the following:     PbP forums for those who prefer slower RPs.     Living world channels where characters can explore the lands or meet one another in real time in the pub.     DM run Tables. (We are looking for more DMs to help run tables)     Mining, gathering, fishing, and exploration through Avrae commands (commands are ready, but random tables need to be filled out more for variety).     Random in game daily events (not tied to irl days, and still being worked on).     Market to buy items.     Guilds (will need leaders).     Job command to earn coin and a living world channel to RP the work in. (currently being reworked)     Custom Drinking command for the pub.     Player housing.
