Adanu, DMing, and you.

Post by Adanu »

I got a DM wand. It's all shiny and stuff. More importantly, it's on Western Heartlands, and I'm using it to start a campaign (or two). This will be a general campaign, with intrigue and combat.

You want in? Here's what I need from you. I will be doing two sessions a week, and possibly more depending on a couple things. The first will be a low level 'main' campaign. This means roughly level 1-5 to start. I want this -ideally- to be a balanced party that can work together well enough to not screw each other overtly and with CvC. Drama and the like? Well and good. I have PCs already interested in this, so if you want to be sure you mesh with the rest, send me a PM asking for what the group needs. If you want a PC to be included in this group, PM. If you're one of the people I've talked to about this already, goodie.

I would prefer this group mainly stick with my campaign, but I'm fine with you going off elsewhere, long as you consider this your priority with this PC. We would be going around the block with this group almost certainly, and if you send me a bio, or bullet points in PM at least, I will make an effort to work it into the story if possible or relevant. If you do not, you're along for the ride with whatever motivation you will.

This group can be good, neutral, or evil as you wish... but needs to be able to work with others in a mutually beneficial group at least. Anything else will be discussed in PM.

Interested? Use http://whenisgood.net/DMageAdanu that and tell me your times, along with a PM of the PC you want to use.

The other session will be ad hoc for all levels, and tailored to who comes. I'll be working on this later, and posting about it here when I'm comfortable. Don't poke me about it until I do.

My style is simple: if you can do it in PnP, you can do it here with pausing and rolls. Within reason. Spellcasters, you want to position a spell strategically and need time to think or position stuff? Ask me for a pause. You want to use climb roll and rope to get into that estate? All for it. I can and will use pause liberally for my purposes. If this bothers you and you prefer more real time? Plenty of other DMs for that, have fun. This game is turn based, and the AI can be very unintelligent.

I will only pull punches when it's obvious a party is not equipped for it... but at the same time, if you do something obviously stupid, I will not give you leeway. Want to assault that orc tribe? Say hello to dozens of defenders. Good luck with that.

Any questions? Post here.

For all interested, please use my scheduling tool in the OP. It's much easier than simply giving me times over PM, since I am NOT doing conversions for timezone with all the times that would entail. It does it for me, and will be easier on everyones sanity as such.

You have to select your times, give your name and a note at the bottom right, and send response.

It does adjust for timezone as well. Hence the top bit with the down down menu.
