Hey @Gearspark! Thanks for your interest!
Totally understand the curiosity — "sandbox" can sound a bit abstract at first. While there's no single leading plot that pulls all players along, the city of Waterdeep is alive with things happening: factions making moves, monsters causing trouble, NPCs with agendas, and so on. There are also (optional)
adventure hooks your character can explicitly grab onto — jobs, rumors, allies in need, rivals, etc. You're free to pursue or ignore these as you like, and players' choices will shape what unfolds in the city.
As for the system, I'm more than happy to teach — no problem at all! All the necessary rules are posted in the forum and available to all invited players. It's designed to be quick to learn and light on crunch, which helps keep the focus on storytelling and roleplay.
Before moving forward, I'd love to know:
1. What posting frequency you’d be comfortable committing to? (e.g., 5/week, 3/week, etc.)
2. Are you familiar with Waterdeep, the Sword Coast or Forgotten Realms in general?
3. Do you have any character concept / background already in mind?
Looking forward to hearing more — and hopefully seeing you in the City of Splendors!
