Hello! Welcome to Rappan Athuk Reloaded. This is an updated version of the original dungeon from the 70's to be compatible with D&D 3.5e. This is an homage to the dungeons of yore, so there are plenty of traps and deadly creatures and things trying to kill you so much. While much of the adventure will be involved in the dungeon crawl itself, this new version also has an expanded wilderness section such that if the party wishes to "take a breather" away from the dungeon, they may do so whilst staying close enough to it for easy reentry.
I am a GM that enjoys roleplay and while the point of this adventure is to crawl the dungeon, there are opportunities to RP here and there. I give experience and rewards just as much for good RP as I do for overcoming obstacles. I also award creativity and thinking outside the box on how to beat adversity thrown your way.
This dungeon will be deadly to be completely blunt. Death will most likely occur, and not just once. I will allow each player the choice of being resurrected by the Powers of Fate (tm), by your party members' contributions or coming in with a new character when this happens. Being resurrected by Fate is free (for the party) but comes with random consequences (for the character). Being resurrected by the party is as per spell being used with no other consequence (still have xp loss, etc). Coming in with a new character means you will need to find yourself somehow in the grace and trust of the current party, but will have no other penalty.
While I find inter-party conflict to have some healthy parts to it, I find that it mainly detracts from everyone's fun. Thus, I won't stop arguing in-character and whatnot, but when you start literally fighting each other I will step in and force people to calm down. We'll find a way to solve the conflict, somehow. Afterall, its my job to kill you, not yours ;)

1. You need to have good grammar and be able to type well. We're on a website to read so let's hold ourselves to a high standard.
