Candlekeep mysteries [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Game System DnD 5e scenario based on published book Candlekeep Mysteries that contains 17 short stories. Will start with with first story in the book, but will probably skip some stories (to be decided together with players once we finish first story)
Settings: Forgotten Realms
Genre/theme: each story has it's own genre/theme. First story will be Mystery/exploration
Hook: The characters have come to Candlekeep seeking aid for a stricken town, which could be the home of one or more of them. The settlement has withered this year. Crops have failed, the livestock stands in the fields like stick figures, and the rain has dwindled. A local mage determined that a curse had been levied on the land and recommended that the town seek aid from a sage named Matreous. After some inquiries, the mage found that Matreous was studying in Candlekeep and sent the characters to find him.
Game Duration I'm looking to finish first 3 stories from the book in 6-12 months depending on player activity, but ready to continue with more stories if players are interested.
Post Frequency Post frequency to be defined during recruitment, 5 posts per week would be best. But once we have agreed on frequency I'll keep to it
Player experience I welcome any level of experience and I believe the book will allow everyone to have fun despite of their experience 5e experience

Ability scores standard array only
Race/class restrictions no homebrew, AU and no races with climbing or flying speed
Background and backstory restrictions OK, players have one job to do during character creation - they need to design a PC who would have very strong reason to seek aid for the stricken town as described in hook above.
PC LVL Will start with lvl 1 PC. But it will not be linear PC leveling up. PC levels will grow as required for each new story. I plan to skip lvl 2 and lvl 3 stories for example
