Description

ACROSS THE NORTHERN WOODS, SPRINGS ARE GOING BITTER AND STREAMS ARE TURNING TO RED SAND, AND ALL THE CREATURES THAT DRINK FROM THEM ARE FALLING SICK.  ELVES AND DWARVES, PRIESTS AND ADVENTURERS,  MANY CONCERNED NEIGHBORS ARE GATHERING AT AN OLD SHRINE TO FIND OUT WHO, OR WHAT, IS POISONING THE WATER.  HEROES WITH GOOD HEARTS ARE NEEDED. Maybe you played Dungeons & Dragons a while ago, or maybe you have always been curious, or maybe you're a parent with a kid who is interested and it sounds like a fun thing to do together, or some combination of those.  I am an old-school D&D player since before the internet!  And I am a dad of an unusual dwarf, sort-of.  We will meet (on a Roll20 voice call) every other Sunday @ 1:45pm CST/Chicago for 90 minutes, get (re)familiar with how to play Dungeons & Dragons on Roll20.net (it's actually easier now than it was 20, er 30, years ago, but I'm still learning the rule-changes...).  We will use our Characters' names and NOT share or ask for personal info.  AND IN THE 2-WEEK GAPS WE WILL TRY TO PLAY USING Roll20 MESSAGING  (no pressure; we will see how that goes).  Our campaign will begin with the first meeting, including you.  Who are you and how is the problem of poisoned and dried up water sources causing you to get involved? FYI, my being the Dungeon Master for a PG family game means taverns serve root beer, there's no focus on various gods/demons/devils, and we do our dice-rolling combat without graphic violent descriptions (and of course there's zero sexuality in this campaign) - these are some reasons the game got bad publicity, and nobody needs them.  Goal is kid-adult appropriate enjoyment of one of the best games ever invented.  We will move our tokens and roll virtual dice on the "virtual tabletop" while describing (or role-playing) what our characters do in turn. Two options: parent and kiddo play 2 separate characters (but each player needs a computer); or parent and kiddo start by controlling 1 character (parent helps kiddo, who makes the decisions - it's possible to start this way and the parent can later start their own character).    Each player playing a character will need a free Roll20.net account, and while Discord is the best for voice calls, we can commit to using Roll20 voice if everyone is not on Discord.  This game series will be absolutely free of charge, and everyone can use my Player's Handbook.  Please be logged in and join the game before meeting time.  Please request the link at least 1 day in advance, and feel free to make a 1st level character with "point buy" method for attributes.  You get one extra point to add to any attribute, per my house rules.  If you know how to advance to 2nd level, go ahead.

From the Depths

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Campfire embers are the last thing you remember. Whether you were traveling alone or guarding a merchant caravan, the wilderness suddenly went dead silent. Then came the masked attackers—too many, too coordinated, and overwhelmingly lethal. Your camp was slaughtered. But you? You were taken. You awaken in darkness, bound in heavy chains deep underground. If you ever want to feel the sun on your face again, you and your fellow captives must forge a desperate alliance, break free, and survive an escape that will spiral into a world-spanning epic. PRICE: $20 (through PayPal or Venmo) / Session —> Session 0 is free and the first official session is 50% off. The price is negotiable, but everyone at the table's gotta pay the same thing so it's fair.   I also offer "bundles" at a discounted rate. WHAT YOU GET: —> you get to embark on a full homebrew campaign spanning from levels 2 to high teens (possibly even level 20) campaign with personal character arcs tailored to your character’s backstories woven in with the overall narrative. —> there is also an artist in my server that will do a frww character portrait art for each new character in the server SCHEDULE: Sundays (weekly) starting at 10am PST. Games will run 4-5 hours. ---> I will be running this game additional days of the week. Same campaign, different players on the following days and times: --------> Tuesdays starting 1030am PST --------> Wednesdays starting at 1030am PST --------> Thursday (Bi Weekly) starting at 230 PST --------> Fridays starting at 1030am PST Just tying to fill up one table at a time. WHERE: the game will be played on Foundry VTT whith voice chat done through Discord. —> I have a new server for the purposes of hosting my games as well as creating a new D&D community SAFETY FIRST: A supportive environment is a priority. Players will fill out a quick RPG Comfort Questionnaire featuring a Lines & Veils section to ensure everyone has a safe, fantastic time at the virtual table. OTHER DETAILS: —> To perfectly fit the unique history and regions of Wysteria, your starting character must be a non-PHB (Player's Handbook) species. This only for your first character, —> we will be using the primarily the 2024 ruleset with some favored 2014 mechanics in addition to various homebrew rules that will be discussed at Session 0 Ready to see the sun again? Send a direct message to @acedespadas on Discord or directly here for to inquire for more. If you’re a great fit for the table, I’ll send over the lore primers and everything you need to start building your character! A BIT ABOUT ME: Hello, my name is Aron, I’m 34 and I started playing this game as the forever DM just before COVID hit and have been DMing multiple weekly games since. I am for the most part fairly introverted which this hobby has helped deal with, and while I may not do all the little funny voices (it’s a thing I’m working on) I’m a sucker for the Rule of Cool and a good story! And what better story then one you build together as a collaboration with other like minded individuals?! Outside of D&D my interests revolve heavily around music, movies, and other general nerd things
