General overview:

This game is my homebrewed continuation of the Phandelver story arc. We have 25 sessions togeather, and generally play for ~4 hours a night, depending on the session, and where the story is. We focus heavily on RP, but usually have at least a short battle every session.

While I understand that life is more important than D&D, I do expect you will be able to attend at least half of the sessions, and will give me notice when you cannot. I will kick you after two un-announced missed sessions. I give half xp for each player not present, but no xp if you do not inform me beforehand.

Players new to D&D are fine, but a certain level of maturity is expected. We goof around and make stupid jokes and puns, but i expect players who understand that there is no way to 'win' D&D, and that their character WILL fail at many things in their career, sometimes at the most inopportune time.

We use Skype for chat during the week, and google+/hangouts for voice/video in game.

About the players:

Players are all level 6, you will be starting with just enough xp to be at level 6. We have a melee fighter, arcane trickster, shadow monk, underdark ranger, and fiend (tome) warlock. Clerics preferred, but other characters will be considered. Please try to find a character you feel will mix well with the mostly CN/CG group. No evil characters or going against the group for the sake of being contrary. Inter-party conflict is fine, but only when it is driven by in-character reasons, and even then, only within reason.

About the DM:

Now that we have left the Phandelver module, this is a living sandbox world. As such there are a few things you should know:

You will not be able to follow every plot hook I leave out. Most (if not all) plot hooks are time sensitive. If you delay in one to do another, the world will keep moving, and things will resolve themselves. (e.g. if there is a lich planning to destroy candlekeep, and you take a few months to get around to investigating, don’t be surprised to find candlekeep in ruins when you do show up…) Your actions have consequences. Anger the rulers of a powerful city, and don’t be surprised when you have a bounty on your head large enough to attract bounty hunters of a higher level than yourselves. Make friends with them, and they may just send a rescue party to help you out if they hear you were captured by the BBEG. Be aware of the fact that I will not pull my punches if you bite off more than you can chew. There are monsters in this world you WILL NOT be able to take on at the moment. I won’t drop a tarasque on you guys without warning, but if you hear rumors about a lich in the area, and decide to search him out, don’t be surprised when you get TPKd.

I do voices for NPC’s. I am not a voice actor by any stretch of the imagination. So if you can’t stand bad accents and weird voices, waves hand “this is not the game you are looking for”
