Let me roll perception and see if I can find my lost D&D mojo.
🎲 The Game System and Rules Version
Dungeons and Dragons 5e, with some of the new One D&D playtest material.
Starting at level 1, using point buy, and using the new character origins stuff (that's no racial bonuses but three points of bonus from background, and a free level 1 feat).
🪝 The Pitch
Hellion is set in the shining city of Elturel. The PCs are teenage Hellions - young hellriders, holy knights in training*.
This game might also act as a prologue to Hellrider - Descent into Avernus. Hellrider is a full campaign to level 13, but let's see how we get on with Hellion first, eh?
* ...or brainwashed zealot child soldiers, depending on who you ask.
🤬 Adult Content or Controversial Themes
Sex & nudity None
There's no sexual content.
Violence & Gore Moderate
It's D&D. There will be violence.
Profanity None
Elturians don't swear.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking Mild
Tobacco and alcohol use.
Frightening & Intense Scenes Mild
Hellion is intended to be quite lighthearted. If we continue into the Hellrider campaign, then it becomes less so.
⛔ Character Restrictions
The game is set in the Forgotten Realms, so those stick to those races. The characters play teenage knights-in-training, so please choose appropriate classes (mainly, not warlock). You must want to play a character sworn to defend righteousness and honour.
📆 Game Duration and Post Frequency
I've found that games succeed when everyone has the same posting frequency, so if you're interested in this game, can you also let me know how often you think you'll be able to post? We all need to have roughly the same speed, whatever that might be.
But as a guess - If we each post once per day, then this will take about three months.
💻 Specialized Software and Resources
You must be on Discord to play this game, as we'll use Discord for some out-of-character stuff.
🐣 Player Experience Requirements
No play-by-post, role-playing game, or Dungeons and Dragons experience is necessary - beginners are welcome, provided you're active and keen. If you don't have the rulebook, then the free basic rules are fine, and we'll help you if you need more.
🎟️ How to Apply
Post in this thread, but please don't apply if you've already played in the Hellrider campaigns.
🌈 Let's all be excellent to each other
Everyone is welcome.
