Princes of the Apocalypse
Strange rumors and ominous signs have the townsfolk of Red Larch concerned. Bandit attacks on the roads, piracy on the Dessarin River, and monster sightings too close to the town all combine to create an atmosphere of fear and foreboding. The people of Red Larch, and the Dessarin Valley itself, are in need of heroes to investigate these raids and rumors, and to discover the truth hidden underneath.
Setting: This Campaign is set in the Forgotten Realms (1491 DR), on the continent of Faerun, in the Dessarin Valley located to the East of the Sword Mountains and Kryptgarden Forest. This adventure will start in the town of Red Larch, an important town on the Long Road connecting Waterdeep to the South and Triboar to the North.
I'm looking for 4-5 players of any experience to run through this brand new campaign that was just released from WotC. I'll be attempting to run this game 100% out of the book, with no homebrew spells, classes, items, monsters, etc that might upset balance. I am also attempting to give as little information as possible on the "Main Quest" of this game so as to aid immersion, so please try to avoid spoilers!
Character Creation: You will all be starting at Level 1. You may use all information in the 5e Players Handbook to create your characters. You can choose to roll 4d6 (drop lowest) for your stats, use the Point Buy method, or use the Standard Stat Array, whichever you wish (Please post your rolls to your Application if you choose to roll). Variant Human and Feats are allowed. You may either roll for starting gold using your background, or you can use the equipment given to you by your Class/Background. All spells and races from the EE Rules Supplement are allowed.
I will be using the Renown optional rules from the DMG, so feel free to have your Character start as a Rank 1 member of the Lord's Alliance, Order of the Gauntlet, Emerald Enclave, Harpers, or Zhentarim. I would ask, however, that you include how you came to be a part of the faction in your backstory.
After I have chosen 4-5 players, I will discuss possible Adventure Hooks with each character that will bring them to the Dessarin Valley region, if such a reason is not already provided in backstory.
About Me: I am relatively new to Myth Weavers and I have just started in my first PbP game here. However, I currently DM two different Face-to-Face 5e DnD Games and have been studying and playing 5th Edition since its release last year. I noticed that nobody has done a PbP of Princes of the Apocalypse yet (no wonder, it just released last week!) so I thought I would give it a go.
