Last month I've got intro a few DnD games as a player and believe it would only be fair to DM one in return.
Besides I have a new year resolution - I want to learn use rule of cool and otherwise be less rules enforcer or judge.

So candlekeep mysteries is a collection of mini-stories that are designed to be possible to fit into a since online session if run smoothly. I would like to start buy running one of the stories for one or two player groups and promise to run at lest 2 more if we successfully finish first. By successfully I mean enough players still in the game by the end of story because I will hardly be hiring player replacements in the middle of the short story.
Note that I will be ready to choose a story for lvl 9-11 but not at my first story.

PC LVL Name in book Genre/style Possible drawback
1 The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces Mystery/exploration None... unless you don't want play lvl 1 even a short story
4 Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme Psychological thriller/ Social interaction Depends on DM's ability to run social interaction with multiple NPCs and I am not sure I will be up to the challenge
4 A Deep and Creeping Darkness Horror/Investigate I am not sure I will be able to maintain the horror atmosphere


Anyhow this is an interest check and voting for the first story to be run. These are the options:

Would you like to play any of them? Multi Public

Lvl 1: The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces: exploration and mystery
Lvl 4: Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme: psychological thriller
Lvl 4: A Deep and Creeping Darkness: horror


P.S. I would prefer stat with "The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces" and continue with lvl 4 or even lvl 9-11 stories immediately after we have established the player team. But both lvl 4 stories are also highly rated in reviews and promising.

For a long haul. I'm good for that. Never did any of the Candlekeep.
