The birdfolk hands Ellandra a map. "This will guide you to the location. Take a day to prepare; the desert is not a friendly place. And when you find the treasure..." He hands Rogun a bag. "Return and meet me here. You can signal me by standing on this same roof and waving a torch." With...

The bird's eyes blink twice. "You've never heard of it? Really? I guess it's not that well known anymore...whatever. Nunpoldrn was a green dragon, though some tales say he was red and others say he was blue and others still say he was a giant landshark. Whatever he was, he amassed a huge...

"Built it? Of course not. I delved that dungeon just like you; in fact, I probably disabled some traps that would have caused you trouble. I was in need of treasure to fund a certain expedition of mine. I left that note because I knew that whoever could also make it through those tunnels...

Oh good, there is a way to roll dice here. Let's use that then! However, I'd prefer the OOC kept in (quote)tags like these(/quote) because then it's easier to read at a glance which is IC and which is OOC. That's okay! No need to change your character if you'd rather not; that's what Srasut...

The clouds part for a brief moment, allowing the moonlight to wash over the city. Something other than a cloud covers it back up, however. The shape emerges from the clouds above, flaps what appear to be long, black wings, and descends on the tavern. As it gets closer, the adventurers see...

I guess we can just use this thread for out-of-character stuff. Unless that's not how the forum rules work? I dunno, never really done pbp before. Yes, let's use the EN World dice roller (I'll make mine "behind the screen" unless I need to show you) and (edit again) the QUOTE tags for OOC...

Ooh, colors are a cool idea. One thing that doesn't really matter but that I envision whenever I play D&D is that each character has an "aura" color, so all their spells are tinted that color. The speech color could be like that, I suppose. I'll choose orange for Srasut, as the dragonborn...

There is a saying that all adventures ultimately start in a tavern. Even if the heroes have been other places, or even if they forget about that particular encounter, the real catalyst for every journey happens in a tavern. There's a certain truth behind the myth, of course, as a large...

Everyone want to start now? I'll leave the recruitment open in case someone wants to take over the DMPC. I just need to make him first! I have work today, so might not get to open the IC thread until tonight.

That looks good! Perhaps the forest is the same where Seelia joined, as that's where faeries tend to live. Should the need arise, I will create a dragonborn hunter to fill in the controller role.

Iron Wolf Warrior Trait (Seelia) Even if the group of mercenaries that took you in was killed, there are still some from the same group out there that will let you use their resources and even possibly join you on adventures if you need the extra help, as long as you don't ask them to do...

Each character so far has been anathema to society (a faerie in a world of big people, an ancient construct with a primal spirit, and an experimental lifeform) which means its hard for them to find steady jobs, but the world is covered in unexplored ruins filled with treasure. So as of right...

I love squishy characters. They make funny noises when they explode! For serious, though, I am a fan of letting the dice fall where they may, but if you like your character, I will always provide a way for you to keep him or her. I'm also using a version of the Injuries from Drag Mag: Hit...

Yeah, I've never played a campaign that didn't start at 1 before so I'm sticking with the by-the-book rules for magic items and equipment. I don't, however, hand out tax feat bonuses. I have decided that we will be using the Fixed Enhancement Bonuses so you don't have to feel like you NEED to...

Yes! With you and Sheepat, we'll have a full team. If you need any help building your character, I and the other players would be happy to help!

Now that we've got a few characters fleshed out, I'll fill you in on theme traits. Basically, in addition to the stuff your theme normally grants, you get a roleplaying benefit like the D&D Next backgrounds have. Here are the ones for Elandra and Howl's themes. While the purpose of your...

Absolutely! I don't have an active subscription either, so you can use whatever you like, or just type one up yourself. I believe we have a Striker, Striker/Controller, and Leader/Defender, so pretty much any role is available. What would you like to play?

fireinthedust: Yeah, if we can't manage to recruit anyone else, you and/or someone else can play two. I could play another too. But I'd leave this thread open in case someone else wants to join in, and they'd take over one of the extra characters (I'd prefer not to have to do a "Gandalf has to...

Haha, that's what I love about D&D! You can't plan for everything, which makes the story interesting to watch unfold. I've already got some fun ideas for working each of the backgrounds into a plot. Plus, my setting is pretty generic, so spicing it up won't hurt.

No, definitely not Dark Sun. The setting is home-brew medieval dark ages, points-of-light campaign. There certainly are deserts though, and the "spellscarred" concept sounds awesome. Perhaps the primal essence is a "young" primal spirit trying to find a place in the world, who uses the...
