![]() Your party is now approaching the Village of Hommlet, having ridden up from lands of the Wild Coast. You are poorly mounted, badly equipped, and have no large sums of cash. In fact, all you have is what you wear and what you ride, plus the few coins that are hidden in purses and pockets. What you do possess in quantity, though, is daring and desire to become wealthy and famous. Thus your group comes to Hommlet to learn. Is this indeed a place for adventurers to seek their fortunes? You all hope, of course, to gain riches and make names for yourselves. The outcome of this is uncertain, but your skill and daring, along with a good measure of luck, will be the main ingredients of what follows, be it for weal or woe. The small community at the crossroads is a completely unknown quantity. What is there? Who will be encountered?
The dusty, rutted road is lined with closely-grown hedges of brambles and shrubs. Here and there it cuts through a copse or crosses a rivulet. To either hand, forest and meadow have given way to field and orchard. A small herd of kine graze nearby, and a distant hill is dotted with the wand stone chimneys with thinplumes of blue smoke rising from them. A road angles west into the hill country, and to either side of the road ahead are barns and buildings — Hommlet at last!

![]() I am looking to start an pbp D&D adventure ran on here. It is the Temple of Elemental Evil from 1e that I will adapt and run as 5e. I am only looking for 4-6 people, more than likely tending towards the lower end. I would like at least 1 post per day, but will work out more of those details once we get the group together. I wont be using a grid for combat and it will be more rp focused throughout. If you are interested submit a character built based on the 5e phb. I want some type of background and why you came to the village of Hommlet. Ability scores will be based on 15,14,13,12,10,8 scores. All races are acceptable, but I will want a little more flushed out backstory for the less common races. Money/equipment will be based on what is given by the background/class, so no roles for additional money. I look forward to hearing back. Let me know if you have any questions.

![]() You have received invitations to a party being held that evening at the Lantern Lodge, the beautiful and exotic estate of the Tian venture-captain, Amara Li, in Absalom’s Petal District. Tonight is the Snapdragon Festival, a traditional Gokan holiday featuring fireworks and rich plum wine. The PCs are encouraged to dress to impress, and instructed to seek out the hostess and head of the Lantern Lodge, Amara Li, upon their arrival. Since we didn't do Part 1 first, feel free to "rent" an outfit for under 50gp for the scenario. You would have gotten some gold from part 1 to buy it normally, but since we are doing it out of order you get a temporary stipend from the Society :-) ![]()
![]() Just a heads up with how I like to DM. I prefer to do the initiative rolls for combat, it makes it easier to keep track of, and people tend to go into the kill mode when initiative is rolled and I like to postpone that as much as possible :-) Also, please let me know if you do not want me to adjust it from the script a little. I like to add a little fluff occasionally. And with a party of 6, if combat is too easy it might be a little more fun to tweak it a little. I won't ever make it impossible or too hard, but it isn't that fun if everything is a walkover. But if you want me to do it strictly as written let me know and I will. Finally, please have fun, if I am doing anything that takes away from your fun please let me know so I can try to work on it. ![]()
![]() Hey, I wanted to try to DM a pbp game of First Steps. My plan was to start on Part 2 and then see if we have time for Part 3 or if we just go to Part 1. I am a newer DM and this will be my first pbp game as a DM, so please be patient. I would like to have 4-6 players who are looking to have fun. Also, I would like to start sometime tomorrow evening or saturday morning (edt). Thank you, and I look forward to a fun game. |
