So, I have this game here, and I totally went over the text allowance in the description hilariously right at the "Actual Game Breakdown" header, soooooo, here it is, dang I wished I saved the text before submitting:
Yeah, so, I am basically running a Mordheim scenario in the Forgotten Realms setting using 5th ed DnD core rules. The PCs will together choose a sponsor that is hiring them to go out into the ruins of Baldur's Gate to collect fragments of the comet that wrecked the city, in exchange for gold. This sponsor will provide, in their own way, a sort of home base camp for the party between forays into the city over a grand expedition.
I want to start with 4 at the most, but I want to keep it open for additional members. The main thing to note, is that while I will screen applicant character concepts, any additions to the party will be decided by the PC party. Applicant PCs that I approve will be described in the narrative when the party returns to camp for consideration of party if they want them in their group (and split the rewards with them.) I woooooouuuuuuuuld like it to be possible for additional characters to be able to interact/negotiate with the party before any decisions are made, so this may mean I will accept applicants without guarantee that they're "in". I will ask any accepted applicants to respect this imaginary boundary, and that the decision is strictly an IC choice by the current PC party.
Man I feel like I left a lot out from my original post. Well, maybe its a good thing to have this discussion thread then!
Edit: I remembered something! So, this isn't exactly a "take the ultimate ring of power to the mountain of doom" story, so I want to not shy from events that can lead to PC death, so please keep that in mind. The game is set up to EASILY put in your next character should yours die. ALSO, I like to write gritty stuff, I dunno, we'll see how it goes, but consider this game rated M for Mature. If you have certain literary limits of subjects of graphic nature, please send me a private message, so that I may better monitor my tone and detail :) I don't want to ruin your fun just because I feel like "hey maybe this npc needs a botfly infection, let's talk about it!"
