Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

✅ The Pitch. Faerun's "death curse" prevents raising the dead and causes creatures previously raised to wither and die. The source of this death curse lies in a trap-riddled tomb hidden beneath a lost city in the depths of a vast jungle.

...but that's ain't your gig. That's for other adventurers. Better adventurers.

A Warduke of the Lords' Alliance outlines your task.

"What you need to do is: get captured, escape, find a puzzle cube, grab it and leg it.

We'll teleport you directly to the forbidden city of Omu in Chult.

Any questions?

...

Oh good, I do hope you find the answers."




✅ Vignette, what does that mean? This is a vignette where we are cutting right to the chase. It's a part of the larger adventure - Tomb of Annihilation. These small adventures are an opportunity to try new things and play with new people.

✅ The Game System and Rules Version. Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition

✅ Character Restrictions. Stats generated with point buy. Level 8 (multiclassing and feats allowed). Source material: Anything published by Wizards of the Coast that could be found on the Sword Coast is allowed. Unearthed Arcana, Eberron, Ravnica, Wildemount, and homebrew? No.

✅ Game Duration and Post Frequency. This will be a short game. Post frequency is five posts per week minimum.

✅ Specialized Software and Resources. None required, but as this is a mid-tier game, you might want to make your characters on DnD Beyond for easy reference.

✅ Marginalized Groups Welcome. This game is explicitly friendly to LGBT and any other minorities or marginalized groups.

✅ Adult Content or Controversial Themes. Slavery, snakes, human sacrifice, snakes, torture, snakes, and snakes.

✅ Player Experience Requirements. This is for level 8 characters, so it probably shouldn't be your first D&D game. But new members to GP are very welcome.

✅ How to Apply. PM me or post here. Please don't apply if I'm already in a game with you. I'll also give priority to new members. You don't need to post character concepts. I'll give it until the weekend or until we have five human sacrifices adventurers, whichever takes longer.

Looking to cross several things off my never-done-that list:
□ Game with Adam
□ Play a Yuan-ti
□ Play a bard beyond 2nd level
□ Visit Chult

I can't commit to a long game but I think I can handle a vignette. Will obviously give way for newer members but if you're lacking bodies please consider me for the roster. Thanks!

Why are all these vignettes so high level? 😄 If it wasn't for that, I'd jump in, just to test our theory about me and Adam playing together, if nothing else

I'm going to express a similar interest to playing in this as Jabes but as I'm quite experienced on here just keep me in mind if you need to fill the roster out :)

I think its because we seldom get to play high-level and here is our chance :)
Besides a vignette is one or two scenes from a larger adventure, and when you get to the good stuff, you have some levels.

OOC:
Although, isn't your vignette supposed to be from Waterdeep Dragon Heist, or should I say level 1-5 Waterdeep Dragon Heist? What happened? Didn't you see the hyphen?

(not that I'm complaining!)

Would be interested as I'd like to get more experienced with higher level dnd before trying to enter a new campaign ! I'll probably try something a bit complex like wizard or sorcerer.

I would have the necessary time to post regularly by the end of the vacations, but not before however. Depending on when you're planning to launch, is that fine for you ?

Good day. I am new to this website. I would be interested in joining this campaign. I have a few questions, however.

• 1. Would it be permissible to play a yuan-ti pureblood, if this game features yuan-ti extensively?"

• 2. Are we allowed to use the Tasha's rules for customizing origins, or the Tasha's rules for custom lineages?

• 3. What starting wealth is each character entitled to?

My Discord username is Earth Seraph Edna#1648 . Thank you for your time.

Hi,

1. Yup. Yuan-ti are street legal Volo's, so they're allowed.
2. Yup. I like Tasha's too.
3. I have no idea yet. We'll work something out in character creation.

We'd be playing on here, so I don't need your discord name.

Hey Rattila,

When does your vacation end?

I mean, I'd love to play another game with you - but, alas, I was not born patient.

Oof! I better get cracking on that character sheet just in case I get accepted!

Are we allowed to use the various Tasha's variant class features, such as those available to the sorcerer?

Yes, sure. The variant features are fine too.

Heh, okay, maybe I'm not that impatient.

As someone new to the site, you might want to familiarise yourself with Qralloq's videos.

I'm going back to my city school at September 6, but it should be ok by August 31th.

I would like to play a yuan-ti pureblood warlock 4/sorcerer 4, taking the Noble background, to represent a princess of Hlondeth.

EarthSeraphEdna, Jabes.plays.RPG, mcneils5, and Rattila added to the game.
There's room for one more.
