[CLOSED] Recruiting for 5e lvl 15 one-shot

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

ClosedDungeons & Dragons 5thPublic5 / weekGreyWord
Settings: Swoard Cost, Faerün. story intro begins at baldur's gate, but the actual game will take place in remote locations. Players are not expected to have any knowledge of Swoard Cost or Faerün, but all deities of forgotten realms persist.

Game peace and duration This is an attempt to build up a one-shot for a 4 hour intense at-the-table game. On a PBP I hope to finish it in about 3 months if players could keep up with high involvement at the first week and continue with a post every working day.
Yet be prepared for DM to seldom stop narrative for a few days with prior notice.

Story background for the last decade sailors have been bringing various rumors to the Bardur' s Gates. Stories differ, the good news are talks about pirates of The Nelanther Isles to be cursed and turning into mindless undead allowing a better trade with south. Trading with Moonshae Isles (west) has stopped however as no ship have ever returned from west. The price of Kiwis grew exponential.
Local fisherman are complaining of the the catch is decreasing

Story begins when an old warlock summons party of well know heroes and share rumors are only visible part of the iceberg and hire them to stop the great evil before it has grown too strong.
While worlock's patron will promise a reward, PCs will hardly earn any glory because the world saving mission will need to be done discretely . And PC will need to trust this warlock to tell the truth or at least be intrigued to learn the truth.

I'm finally ready to recruit players to try to build the one-shot long 5e story of heroes saving the world.

For those who don't know me as a DM here is a
[ +- ] warning message


Story content warning We will be building the story content together. I have an approximate impression of what could the first scene be or a vague definition of the evil you fight against. I hope we will define the details of the story together. PBP is a great platform for DM to do no prep. work whatsoever.

What you can expect : No specialized software and resources; Adult Content as expected for DnD and some dark necromancy/demon/aberrations to fight against;

How to apply? drop a comment here explaining how frequently do you commit to contribute to my game for the next 3 months. Let me know if your availability at different weekdays differ (i.e. you wouldn't be always available Friday-Sunday). I hope we could make at least two groups with different game peace.

I would be interested!
I check GP a few times a day. Can post just as often. I am open most weekends unless I have any family things going on.

Would be great to play!

I can post European evenings but if there is a lot of US based posting activity I might have trouble keeping up if not properly managed.

I'm very interested.

Yeah! Level 15 sounds very nice! I am in. :)

Right now I am posting about 3 times a week, if there is a fight ongoing up to 5. Real world issues (job, family, responsibilities, ...) keep me from doing much more without getting burned out and having to reduce for some time.

Europe here as well.

The optional class features from Tashas are okay to make use of? Multiclassing is okay as well?
Would love to be a Ranger/Barbarian melee.

How to apply?
drop a comment here explaining how frequently do you commit to contribute to my game for the next 3 months.

I can commit a minimum of one post each day. More posts are dependent on my college workload.

Let me know if your availability at different weekdays differ (i.e. you wouldn't be always available Friday-Sunday).

Weekdays and Weekends are fine; I am mostly retired (retired, but going to college online)

I hope we could make at least two groups with different game peace.

Sounds great. I would like to know the party make-up as I tend to select classes that best support the group.

This sounds fascinating to see how a high level game could be played. What better way to know than to experience it for myself?

Generally, I have more time on the weekends, but even with the holidays coming up, I believe I can commit to 5 posts per week for the next 3 months. If I miss a day, such as Tuesday, would it be acceptable to make a post on Saturday to make the 5th post that week?

Hello, new here, but posting interest. Available to post at least once daily, likely much more if necessary.
Hope everyone’s well today.

I would be interested to see how higher level 5e plays for sure. Especially since I found out that Tomb Of Horrors has been redone for 5e in one of the upcoming, if not out now adventure books...

I can commit to 3-5 posts a week, with possibly additional on weekends. I work in IT for a major retailer, so this time of year can be hectic. Some of the posts would be better than others for sure...

@WhiteDwarf, @Knighthawke invites send and we are 10 right now, so recruiting is closed.

If a spot opens, I'm game.
Oct 30, 2023 9:17 pm
As a matter of fact I have an early dropout and could allow a player to jump in as we are not too far in the game. You would need to 1. commit reading the intro chapter and create at least a draft charactersheet in just a few days (and finalize by end of the week). If you commit to that - invitation is sent already

I'd be interested in playing...and I'm off from work for the next 4 days. Let me know :)

I work 8 days a month, so can post multiple times daily most days...and can even post during down time on the days I work just likely not as much. It isn't the same days worked each week so can't tell you over off...I do have my November schedule so could provide specifics for the month.

I can do that for sure.
