Due to loads of interest, now recruiting players.
Is Mulan actually a Fighter Samurai or a Paladin?
Could Ariel be a Fathomless Warlock? Or maybe a Bard with the racial skills of a Sea Elf?
How about Elsa as a Wild magic Sorcerer with frosty spells?
How are the ranger skills of Pocahontas?
Did Belle pick up artificing skills from her father?
What is it?
This is a lighthearted funsies game of D&D 5E in which you play a Disney character.
If you are a rules lawyer, power gamer or looking for something as dark as Curse of Strahd (although, that one is high on my wanna-play-list), this game is not for you.
This game follows the rule of cool, both regarding D&D rules and Disney movie cannon.
The world is not very detailed. In the centre of the world is The Magical Kingdom, which is basically "a hub" from where you can travel to various locations. Think Candlekeep Mysteries or Journeys through the Radiant Citadel, for similar "hub settings". Don't expect a masterclass of world building here - although, surely, lots of worlds already exist. But you can travel as easily from Wonderland to Medieval China as from Neverland to Arendelle.
The game should be rated as a Disney movie. Not too scary, although maybe a bit more violent as it is still D&D.
Character Generation Info
Your character is a Disney character or your choice out of a theatrically released animated Disney movie.
- You can use any class you think makes sense for this character.
- Characters will begin at level 3
- Point buy
- Feel free to multiclass if it makes sense
- Feats and variant humans are allowed
- Normal starting equipment & gold, but if your character has any non-magic items that make a lot of sense to have, go ahead.
- If your character qualifies as a Disney Princess, you'll have proficiency in Charisma (Performing) when you are singing, or expertise if you are already proficient in Performing (thanks to @CaveJohnson for the idea when I did an interest check)
- You can also use any race you think complements the character's abilities. Your character will have all the abilities of that race, but will not actually be a member of that race and not look like it.
For example:
a. If you want to play Peter Pan, you could chose the Fairy race because of it's flying speed. That wouldn't mean he'd have wings.
b. If you want to play Ariel, you could chose the Sea Elf race for swimming speed and underwater breathing. Ariel wouldn't be an elf though.
No
- Obvious villians, let them be the villains in the game.
- Characters that will not work in D&D. No Lightning McQueens, or actual (talking) animals.
- Characters related to Donald Duck / Mickey Mouse and that side of Disney.
- Characters that are owned by another brand of the Disney company. No Marvel, Star Wars, Muppets, Simpsons.
Game lenght and what you need
We will be starting with a single adventure, and if we have fun we can play on. I hope for everyone to post once a day. I will post at least each evening (Central European Time).
Nothing is needed besides GP. Experience is not required.
How to apply:
Lots of people have already been brainstorming in the interest check thread.
If you'd like to join, I'd like you to propose a character you'd like to play with the Race and Class combination that would fit them.
- I will pick 5, maybe 6, players based primarily on the characters presented;
- People who presented a character idea in the interest check thread will be prioritized for that character;
- I try to have a varied mix of movies;
- The game does need a princess or two at the least;
- Feel free to present a second choice character.
I have an opening adventure in mind with elements from 3 Disney movies. It might or might not focus big on your character. I like future adventures to focus on characters brought to the table.
Of course, all people of all backgrounds and groups are welcome to join this game.
