Topic: D&D5e: Hoard Of The Dragon Queen {Forgotten Realms} (GM looking for 5 players)

[Lynnie]

Hoard Of The Dragon Queen

Background

In Faerun, the Cult of Dragon has been active for centuries. Focusing on making undead dragons to fulfill a prophecy, but all of that is about to change. A new leader of the Cult believes that real draconic knowledge and power belongs to the living not the undead. This granted him something special.


What I am looking for is a small group of adventures to help stop the Cult of Dragons from completeing their mission. The adventurers will start at level one. This is a 5th edition campaign. Post interest here and PM me the character sheets.

Backstory - Hannah Howl came from a small fishing village on the Sword Coast. As soon as she was of age she joined the army. Her skills on the battlefield and her quick knowledge helped her rise quickly through the ranks. She fought in the last war and made a call that she regrets. Not many know of her call that day and she prefers to keep it that way, she still wears her armor from when she was active in the military but has since taken a backseat to allow room for others to take over. She decided to try and do some good to make amends for her sins.

Appearance:

[Muse]

  Ooh!  May I play? 

  A friend of mine tried to run this before but we didn't get very far.  I still found the idea very exciting. 

[Lynnie]

Would love to have you Muse :)

[Muse]

Excelent.  :) 

Standard 27 point buy? 

[Ixy]

I'm still looking for one more system game that stays active.  I'm interested-- I'm only moderately familiar with Forgotten Realms, mostly from Neverwinter Nights, and it's been a while, but I would like to find a game with the right balance of adventure, sexiness, and action.  I would appreciate being able to apply, and will pm a sheet.

[PhantomPistoleer]

Interest expressed.

[Changingsaint]

I would be interested in this.

[EvilBeast]

Very interested!!

[eternaldarkness]

I'm always down for some 5E. I'll send a sheet if you're still looking.

[Mysterica]

I too am quite interested.  I've been wanting a chance to try out 5e

[Florence]

I'm interested. Been craving some 5e for a while!

I might roll a female dwarf fighter or rogue.

[Lynnie]

*falls over* Wow I wasn't expecting this much interest! I will look over the character sheets. Muse you can do point buy or just use the dice bot and roll 3 6 sided dice >.>;

My goal is to run the story but have time for the player's characters develop and have relations :) There will be inns and taverns for npc interactions. I may move this to 6 players.

I'm personally more fond of point buy for online games.

And on that note, I'm working on my character. So far, my idea is that she's a Dwarven soldier, and a fighter. Lawful good, which is a switch for me, since I usually play Chaotic good, but... ya know, she's not a Paladin, so she's not going to be the group babysitter, like "No, no, no, you can't do that!" Though, obviously, she will raise SOME objection to more chaotic actions. Still, she can be reasoned with

[Lynnie]

Interesting :) If everyone wants I can give you all 6 numbers from the dms book to use as your stats so everyone would have the same.

[eternaldarkness]

That'd work, but it's really easier to just set a point buy number. Especially since we're starting at apprentice levels, uneven ability scores will be a big deal - if they're high, everyone else looks like a schlub. If they're low, you struggle to survive to level 2, and have no class abilities or magic items to close the gap.

Level 1 is painful as is. Don't give anyone an additional handicap.

[Lynnie]

Then point buy it is :) 27 points

I am so excited to be doing this. Also side note, this is my first time doing D&D 5e n a forum, so I am going to do my best but if I screw up please forgive me?

Nobody is going to bite your head off if you make a mistake :) The players so far are generally cool people, a few of whom I know are great players and nice people too.

[Lynnie]

Yay ^^ I am just wanting to make sure everyone has fun and gets to play

[Mysterica]

I can't wait to get home from work so I can start playing around with making a character.

[Changingsaint]

For characters i'm thinking, i'll probably play a human but a few ideas...

Archer fighter - Thinking maybe someone who was trained to be a hunter, but instead of living a more rugged woods life, found his skill in archery better suited to a more mercenary life style - though it also ties in to an innate wanderlust.

Dragon blooded sorcerer: Playing one in a game about dragons is cliche, I know! Sorry, but I do like the idea of a dragon blooded sorcerer seeking out more of his heritage by initially investigating the cult.

Cleric: Can't go wrong with a cleric, right? Not sure on the god just yet, but definitely thinking someone who would want to be a champion for the meek and a flame guiding the way in darkness.

[Ixy]

Let's just take it easy and submit our characters to let the GM make her choices-- if mine doesn't fit, I'm totally ok with that, just let me know.

[Changingsaint]

Mm. I am taking it easy, I just like letting others know what I might be making to see if anyone may want to collaborate or just let them know if they were thinking of the same class so it could be discussed beforehand. :)

[Lynnie]

O_O Please don't scare the new gm please

[Kiric Rand]

Color me intrested if there is room

[Lynnie]

*glomps* For you of course
