[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6459104, member: 11146"] The salient points about Luskan that players need to know is that it's a run-down pirate harbor in the North, and within adventuring distance of Stonefast, which I've elected to plunk down in the Spine of the World (cold climate, orc, white dragon/s, dwarves, etc). I'm certainly no expert on Forgotten Realms, so I don't expect you guys to be. I'm sure we'll make mistakes and the game probably won't be cannon. I'm OK with that. My expectations for this PbP are that those of us who have yet to play with the 5e ruleset can gain some experience, and that everyone enjoys an "old skool" dungeon crawl. Here is the [URL=http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page]Forgotten Realms Wiki[/URL] that I used to refresh my (admittedly limited) memory about the Realms. I'll update the original post in this thread with the link, too. Any sort of character is plausible. Frankly, for this game, I am less concerned about backstory; even a slim excuse to justify your PC being in Luskan will be perfectly acceptable. I don't own the 5e book, so I am limited to using the [url=http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/PlayerDnDBasicRules_v0.2.pdf]SRD[/url], which is why I asked that players use only the 5e basic rules. If you can build it using the basic rules (edit: or the PHB), have at it. I usually only ever offer to DM games that are RP-intensive, so this game, which I anticipate being more about the dungeon and less about roleplay, is a departure for me. That said, if you super really want a rules mechanic from the actual 5e PHB, please e-mail me and we'll work it out. I would rather have players excited about their character than have my own way about the rules. Meh. I'm easy. Have a look at your 5e PHB, too, and if something catches your eye, let me know. All I ask is that we have an off-site conversation about what it is you wish to do. I'll update the OP to reflect this change. [/QUOTE]
