mikeawmids' Hoard of the Dragon Queen [5e]

Game Master mikeawmids



Hello. Having read the Players Handbook, I am eager to run a game. Hopefully, I can find 4-5 players who would also like to try the new system. I intend to run Hoard of the Dragon Queen, which should see characters reach level 7. If we survive the first adventure and there is enough interest, I would also like to run the second half of the adventure after it has been released.

I am not looking to sift through character applications, the first 4-5 people to post interest in the game are in. I can guarantee at least one long post per day (and likely more than one). This is my first time running D&D.5e, although I have a few games under my belt as a player. Any race / class combo from the PHB is allowed, but none of the player-made content from ENWorld or anywhere else.

Rather uninspiringly, the adventure begins with you guarding a caravan on route to the town of Greenest. You can be a guard, or come up with some other reason that you would be travelling with the caravan.

The game is set within the Forgotten Realms, so if you're playing a godly type, pick your deity from that table.

You can roll your own attribute scores or use the standard array from the character creation chapter of the PHB.

Looking forward to playing!


I'm interested in playing a Barbarian. Will set up the details tonight :)

The Exchange

I'm wanting to make a Paladin. I've been waiting for one of these. And I own the PHB.


Warlock ready and willing. Taking standard array. I'll have this alias re-purposed pretty damn quick.


I am interested in this, I have my phb at home but I am interested in playing a rogue. I feel like 5e lends itself well to pbp games. I can have a character ready in less than 24 hours.


This is CTK's Paladin's Alias. I'll start working on her sheet at work tomorrow. Really excited for this one.


That's four of the five slots claimed. We have a barbarian, paladin, warlock and rogue. We can run with four and I will start gameplay thread later today. One space remains if a fifth player wants to join.


GM i should have my character up and ready by late tomorrow. Redoing her as a Warlock Astronomer.


This is haruhiko88's rogue, I just have to get to my phb for all my little quirks and such. Although I think an honest and fair rogue/merchant adventuring for coin might be a good character. I love the realms, by any chance is Waukeen still part of the pantheon? I'm not going cleric or anything, I would just like to worship the Golden Lady who spits molten gold at people.


I'll definitely join. Made this druid for a different campaign that I didn't get in, and will adjust as needed.


... and we are full. IC & OOC threads up soon.

Looking good Krathok!

IC/OOC threads are up. :D


I might need some help creating someone.


What help do you need? I'm sure that I or another player with the PBH can help.

Character creation rules are available for free from the Wizards of the Coast website.

I would be interested if anyone drops out and you need an extra. Just send me a PM if that happens.


Thanks for the interest, I will keep your name in mind if a slot does open up.


Also interested if you're looking for an additional character. I have a dwarf cleric already drawn up. Could easily rework an array or roll for stats. [hand wave=wondering_monster]
