Out of Character

I expect unusual 5e game :). I expect to be surprised (if not confused) as player about the way it works out in ultramodern settings.
I am only uneasy with scenarios where as a player I understand that best course of action for our PCs is violence against other human beings. However I designed my PC a less humane in this game, so I could manage even my PC killing humans should he have no alternatives.

As for "getting the characters to work together". You know what I think, this is usually funny to see how players "role-play" their PCs not willing to trust each other on the first session, but totally forgot about that in a session or two - no matter if any events triggered the trust or not. We are simply bored to play mistrust for too long.

If everyone is ready to be surprised as players, just as I am - I have a suggestion: DM just tells us we made a team for whatever reason during events before the game begins. We start a game when all 3 of us are driving the same car, walking the same path or sitting at the campfire discussing our strategy to deal with the whatever problem we have just faced.

Can you guys help me.
I am trying to figure out how to add a DM character to this campaign.
I can't figure it out...

Where are you having issues?
As DM you should be able to submit as many characters as you want to the game.

Let me guess where is an issue:
Game page have defined
ALLOWED CHARACTER SHEETS Dungeons & Dragons 5th

Your character created currently is a custom

You should either edit game adding custom as allowed char sheets or create new char sheet using system 5e

That'd be my guess as well.

I'm glad to help you right here on this thread but it might be easier to if you join the GP Discord server.

I am typing up the first post (Give me a little bit). You will have to bear with me. I might take some liberties with your characters for this first bit

Hopefully that makes sense and works for everyone. If you have questions please ask either here or in game.
(I think we are going to use this channel as OoC. I will change the name for that...

It is impressive how Smiley managed to put our 3 characters together and have each their own clues. Anyhow just need to wait now for @Spartachris to come online and Max Danger to join the party I guess.

Now it is up to you guys on where you want to go with it. I have a few different ideas/Plans in place but will all depend on you guys.

I was also going to suggest (If you guys want) the house rule. Called "I know a Guy"
What it is

That's a great rule! I'm gonna steal it for my own games. 😄

That is a great rule indeed. Even though I normally don't enjoy DM inventing new rules past session 0, I treat this particular game as king of experiment and welcome rule altering.
Nevertheless my PC would only use that rule once - can't imagine anyone but Mara's father (shaman) whose clairvoyance/augury or other magical means may be played as joker in case we are at a dead end.
His age and discrete lifestyle... that is a part of character backstory.

Going to wait a bit to see what @Spartachris is up to.

Good morning guys, and thank you for the invite too. I'll now figure out what to play as. So far I'm told we have a werewolf, an fbi agent, and a media/online celebrity.

I'll go with an idea of a magic item collector. May change from there.

Question, can I say that bows and such can be flavoured as guns?

I might go with Arcane Archer Fighter.

I have submitted a sheet. Have a look.
Basically: German archaeologist found out that dad is an occult nazi scientist that experimented with german fairies. He freed an elf, and tried to marry her, but she was assassinated. Then the fellow went to America for revenge and changed his name.

So, I haven't thought of a name yet. But I'm thinking he may be taking a false identity since he is also on the run from the german government.

His age is now 50. Does that fit with the time period of his father being a nazi?

Can I take Acquisitions Inc as source?

And can I change the ruling for my Arcane Shot subclass feat to also affect crossbows/guns?

What type of magic items does he collect? Does he have any already?
There are a few different options for Guns in Buyable Items if you want to take a look.
I am vaguely familiar with AI. What are you trying to get from it?
I have no problem with Arcane Archer using Guns instead. Would be some nice flavoring. I thinking Arcane Archer was sort of underpowered. I will take a look at it. Would be interesting to flavor different bullets to do different things. Sort of like Hellboy...
We will chat about this more can you start a Thread for your character like the others did? Will discuss background in there more.

I want to have Distort Value for my Wizard Spell for Magic Initiate feat.
Neat. My character vibe is something like Indiana Jones, but edgier. He is True Neutral, someone who don't mind having to use violence on bustards, but the innocent he prefer not having to hurt too much, but swindling is fine as long as its for the greater good.

Here is my current plan. (Which I will type up when home)

Piper Adams no longer for the FBI. She quit and now works/ owns a book store. She still is fully capable of hacking and tech stuff and secretly does it on the side.

@RoAries Character will be at said Book Store and offer aid.

Sounds great!
