Hello Everyone. I'm putting together a 10-12 session playtest campaign for Ruins & Relics, a game that I will be crowdfunding this fall This is open to people with any level of experience. If you are interested please let me know and I will message you with more information. Here are the basic details:
GAME TIME
Fridays 7-11pm EST
START DATE
Friday June 15th
(Late comers are always welcome if party size allows)
GAME / PLAYSTYLE
Ruins & Relics is very similar to B/X and BECMI D&D but with a d20 interface. If you've not played those before the quick synopsis is that it a vey lean, beginer friendly ruleset built around exploration and treasure acquisition. It is much grittier than modern versions of D&D, and much less story driven. Instead it focusses more on things like clever problem solving, resource management, sneakiness and diplomacy.
CAMPAIGN THEME
Traditional dungeon exploration. The game includes a sample dungeon geared at teaching new DMs and players the game. We will be exploring this dungeon in the campaign.
PARTY SIZE
I would like to have between 6-8 players. This used to be the standard party size in old-school D&D and the dungeon adventure that I wrote assumes this size. Further, this allows flexibility with scheduling. If one or two people can't make a session we can just fill their places with hired retainers that night. So this frees us up from having to try to coordinate everyone's schedules from week to week.
FORMAT
We will be playing largely theatre of the mind but using a virtual tabletop for combat. The voice and video feed will be hosted through Discord while we will be using Roll20 for the VTT. Each person can either choose to create a character or use one of the provided pre-gens I've created for the game.
PLAYTEST DOCS
All of the playtest docs are avalable for free download at my wite,
