A D&D Adventure
The small town of Harrowhill has existed for some time now. It was originally founded as both a mining town and a stop along the mountainfoot path, a long trade route traversing the southen foothills of the Turnstone peaks. On the outside, it would seem it has changed little from how it originally was, but as you stop at the town for the night, you quickly find that things are not as they seem.
How this will work:
- You can play this game whether you have played D&D before or not, but obviously if you haven't played before there will be a bit of a learning curve.
- This will likely play out as a fairly slow game, with it running continuously rather than being split into sessions at certain times. I would reccomend trying to make at least one post a day.
- The game doesn't have a set ending date and will end once you resolve the story. It will likely not be finished quickly.
- The entirety of the game will be hosted on the forums, without need for anything like discord.
- Rolling will be done on this site so I can see what you roll. All you need to do to is enter the dice you will roll into the first box (e.g. 'd20+3'), a description of what you are rolling for in the seconde box (e.g. 'attack roll against the goblin'), enter 'BeneaththeTurnstonePeaks' in the third box, and enter your character's name in the forth box (e.g. 'Fred'). Then press roll and everyone viewing the history will be able to see the roll.
How to play D&D:
- D&D has a lot of rules but in the end it really comes down to the same cycle that are in pretty much any roleplaying game. The DM (i.e me) describes a situation, the players say what they want to do and the DM tells them the outcome of what they did.
- Sometimes the DM might want you to roll dice to resolve what you are doing (e.g the DM might ask you for a 'stealth check' to sneak past some guards for example). Most rolls will be on a d20 with some modifiers added to the result, but there are some exceptions.
- Once you have those rules its fairly easy to pick up the rest and I and any other experienced players can help you along the way. If you do want to look at the rules in more detail you can look at the Basic Rules on the official D&D website.
How to sign up:
- Simply post /join in this thread to join. Make sure you will be active enough to play and make sure you have read the rest of this post before joining.
Creating a character:
- Since some players may be experienced and some not, I will give you the option of going through character creation step by step with me or doing it on your own and sending me the results. I will ask you that after you join.
- Characters will start of at level 3.
- All official dnd 5e content is allowed but not UA (don't worry about this if you are making your character with me).
- Regardless of whether you create a character on your own or with me, you will need to discuss your backstory with me. It doesn't need to be much, just some basic information about that character, why your character is travelling east with the rest of the group, and any important class related stuff (if you are a cleric we will probably need to discuss who you worship ect.). If you are an unusual race or subclass we may need to also discuss that.
