Want to play something longer than a one-shot, but without committing months or even years to a long-term campaign? Do you want some experience playing characters past the beginning of their story, taking on more varied foes? Or maybe you're just here for an action-packed, high fantasy adventure? If so, you've come to the right place! Details: I’m looking for 4 players for my 5.5e mini campaign. Although anyone is welcome, some experience is recommended—I want to run a game for higher levels than I’m used to at a mid-high level of optimization. But as long as you’re friendly, respectful to other players, and (reasonably) punctual, I’d be happy to have you!  Sessions will be ~3 hours, run on Discord VC, and use AboveVTT for maps, no paid resources required. In terms of scheduling, I’m tentatively planning Wednesdays at 10:00 JST. The first session will be no later than June 17th, and ideally, you'll be able to get to know your party members and coordinate before then. Characters will be level 8, use point buy or standard array, and the game's style will be almost completely RAW, without homebrew except for minor monster tweaks for the setting. Any mundane gear or costly components will be free, so feel free to make whatever build you'd like to test against the 2024 XP budgets! Although there will be no explicit content, the game is limited to players aged 18+. If there's content you're uncomfortable with, please let me know as well.  Feel free to ask me any questions about the game itself, your expectations, or anything at all! You can find me on Discord (jaegermeister2132). Ideally, we can sort out anything you want to know and potentially have a short call to test things out. To start, introduce yourself, what you're looking for in the game, and tell me a bit about your experience with D&D! (IMPORTANT NOTE: My timezone is JST, it wasn't an option here! This means for most timezones I might be a day ahead, and the Wednesday slot may be closer to a Tuesday night one) Synopsis: As the frigid kingdom of Hinterreich mourns the death of its king, chaos grips its people. The nation in mourning was ill-prepared for the dragon’s attack—when the dust settled, the late monarch’s sole heir and the legendary crown were missing. Adventurers, mercenaries, and anyone with the courage to venture into the dragon’s lair and retrieve both the princess and the artifact are to be rewarded handsomely.
