I've been running campaigns for decades, with a background in writing, game design, and art. Campaign is built with high-end tools and set in Foundry VTT, audio on Discord.
- There's a lot of freedom within the existing rule set, so I try to stick with the key books and rules, allowing your actions and the dice to determine what happens rather than my personal opinion affecting the outcome.
- There is a deep story with a lot of role-play, especially in-group, and your backstory will affect in-game events and vice versa.
- The campaign can be challenging at times, good tactics and thoughtful approaches on interesting maps will go a long way to keep you alive.
- It's a traditional campaign, along the lines of LotR, Game of Thrones, Order of the Stick... we're focused on just that old-school enjoyment of playing.
- There are a variety of potential game times, it'll depend on the final selections and everyone's availability.
- You must have a good mic, good internet connection, Discord for audio, and enough understanding of the rules to build and play your PC starting at level 1.
To apply, reply to this thread with the following:
- A character concept from the Core Rule Book and Advanced Player Guide.
(ex. Dwarf Fighter, he's a hired killer with a conscious, on the outs with his employer. He was a former slave and hates slavers. He's gruff with a heart of gold, and unlike most Dwarves he refuses to drink. He wants to retire and have a blacksmith shop and settle down with a family. He loves creating new works, his expression changes and becomes peaceful when he's crafting a new weapon or piece of armor.)
- Link to a sample build with everything filled in and basic equipment on Pathbuilder.
(ex. https://pathbuilder2e.com/launch.html?build=220260)
- Briefly describe how your character looks.
(ex. He meticulously braids his black beard and proudly wears the helmet he took off the first slaver he killed. He prefers to be stealthy, so often wears darker colors, and he's got tattoos up and down his arms.)
- Briefly describe any personal preferences for your gaming group, be honest so we can find a good synergy among the players, there are no wrong answers.
(ex. I'd like to game with mature people who aren't easily offended... or the opposite, I like to game with serious players who take every possible care to be respectful at all times.)
- Times you can play, what time zone you are in, bonus if you convert it to EST.
- You CAN post two PC concepts, as outlined above, if you are open to more than one role. Please don't post more than two.
I am looking to fill 4-5 spots, once there are enough applications here or elsewhere to meaningfully pick from, I'll reply to the players who I think would get along and work well together, especially if the party make-up looks like it can perform well too. Once the campaign is full, I'll post/close the thread.
To have the best chance, your character should fit within existing Core and APG rules, not a home-brew PC, and your backstory shouldn't be so intense and demanding that it requires a campaign re-write. If you want a home brew campaign that doesn't hold to any existing parameters and rules, this probably isn't the campaign for you.
I'll check this thread as often as I can for new replies. If you're looking for a fun example of what Foundry VTT can do, and you want to enjoy gaming with some potential new friends, this might be the campaign for you. I'd like to start soon, so I'll be looking to fill a good group with quality players in a timely fashion.
