# 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons Campaign
Hail and Well Met Travellers,
I am creating a brand new 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons (2014 version) campaign. The campaign is set in my homebrewed world of Imrallon. Imrallon is a world that is based on ancient Greco-Roman society, with a little Arthurian mythos and traditional high fantasy mixed in. The game schedule and frequency will be decided during Session 0, but will last roughly 4 hours.
Campaign Details
Characters will start out at 1st Level. Will be using the Milestone system – milestones based on story plot points. Character milestones will involve various other boons (ie cash, items, blessings, favors, services, etc) that are character specific.
A session 0 will be held where the group will discuss campaign ideas, character concepts and other details. Session 0 is a free session.
Holiday Hiatus
I do take a break from all games during the holidays to spend time with my family and recharge. Generally, this begins in December and last through New Years Day. Advanced notice will be given on when the exact dates will occur. During this time, of course, payments will not be expected and sessions will not be played. However, I will still remain available, if needed, through the Discord server.
Expectations
What will be expected from the players:
- Punctuality – Please be on time or provide as much advanced notice if you will be late or missing. I will do the same.
- Tools – A working mic and decent internet connection, Discord, Forge VTT account.
- Communication – As your GM, I am personally obligated to assist you with any issues that you have regarding this game. If your not having fun, I want to know what I can do to make things more fun. I cant fix what I don’t know about.
- Knowledge – Please know your characters and their abilities. I completely understand that there can be a learning curve to systems and expect that there will be knowledge gaps. However, if you are a spellcaster, please know the basic functions of how to cast a spell.
- Patience – I do know the rules of the game, however, I am human and forget things. There will be times when I will need to look something up or have to make an on-the-spot decision.
What will I will provide:
- A private server on Discord for both text and voice. Forge VTT will be used for displays and the rolls. Separate channels will be set up for different topics
- Session Posts – Recaps of the sessions. While not required, players can post ‘In Character’ responses to the session’s events from your character’s point of view. I use this for character development.
- Side Session Posts – Recaps of side sessions, such as character solo quests
- Behind the Curtain Posts – These are metagame posts of things that are going on behind the scenes. What was that guard doing when the party convinced him they were with the maintenance crew? This is the sort of stuff that would be here. Again, its metagame information and out of character, but still enjoyable.
- Fluff Posts – Much like the Behind the Curtain posts, these are more for building stories and to enhance gameplay.
- Campaign Lexicon – A wiki that is set up for character usage and will grow as the campaign grows with more and more content on places you have been, people you have met, etc.
- Group Asset Spreadsheet – A simple spreadsheet to track things like the party’s shared assets.
- Campaign Calendar – A public calendar with character activities, regional holidays, character birthdays, etc.
- Character Creation Clinics
- Assistance with creating and fleshing out characters.
- Character advancement planning
- I allow players to make minor changes (the concept must remain the same) after a few sessions of playing. For example, if you decide to shift a few skills around or decide that the feat you originally chose just doesn’t fit after all. They can be swapped out for others that fit the core concept better.
- Fun, Exciting and Detailed Sessions and Story Arcs
- I build campaigns as a series of story arcs that are character-centric. What I mean by that is your character’s actions, both good and bad, will build on each other as a story arc progresses.
- As a GM, I feel it is my job to work with everyone that is at the table to create a great story. I am open to working with nearly any concept and any type of story, all I ask is that we work together.
- I have been called a ‘high maintenance’ GM because I go above and beyond and ask a lot of questions. I will put as much into the campaign and your character’s story as you do. If you want to acquire an ability, item, etc, I will work with you to craft a story around it and make it happen during the session or a side session. If you want to write side stories about your character’s exploits during downtime, I can make that happen.
Payment Details
- Payments
- Players will be making all payments through Cashapp at the current rate of $20.00 USD per session. Payments are due prior to the start of each of the game sessions, unless other arrangements are made with the GM.
- Refunds
- Payments are non-refundable up to 48 hours prior to and after the game session starts.
- Players that drop out of the game entirely, and give at least 48 hours notice prior to the game session, will receive a refund of charges for any unplayed sessions. If no prior advanced notice is given, or given within 48 hours, then payment(s) will be non-refundable.
- If a game session is cancelled or rescheduled for some reason, then the payments made for that session will carry over to the next scheduled session.
If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. You can either post a comment here, or message me on Discord. My handle is lordeggnutz.
