It's "very" important that you get familiar with this campaign blog "there will be a test later" . . . nah, just kidding on the test part lol, but trust me when I say, this blog was created for you, the player . . . so make use of it. This page is a "must read" page so, grab snack and have a seat and read this all the way through please. This will be my first Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy system that I've ever ran "since for pretty much my entire gaming life, I've ran Advanced Dungeons & Dragons exclusively" years ago. I will try and do my best to give my players a fun game.
I've ran games around the table in years past, I've never had anyone complain so I guess I must be decent but this time I'll be doing an online campaign using Discord/Roll20 so I'll have to work extra hard to make this thing fun for my players.
▶ This campaign will be locally recorded & uploaded to a Youtube playlist
▶ We will use Discord for Audio and video (webcams)
▶ We are planning to play every Saturday night 7-10pm EST
▶ We may be able to squeeze in the Friday before at times (players discretion)
▶ You can see the header of this blog with the 5 empty slots. I will be adding portraits for each players character "strictly for aesthetic purposes for the blog". These portraits will be created using an AI script ap that I have, you can either create the portrait or I can do it for you. It doesn't even have to be what your character looks like, as I said it is "strictly for aesthetic purposes for the blog" to help make the campaign blog look a little more appealing for people who visit it. We will discuss this if you join the group, it really is not a major thing, it's actually quite simple to do.
• House Rules: We do have a few "quality of life" house rules to help make the game run a little smoother and be slightly more forgiving than it is in it's current form. These rules may change over time.
• About Our Campaign: Here you can read all about our World of Greyhawk campaign.
• Journals Page: This is where my players can find everything they need to know about our campaign.
• Check out the class page to see what is available to play.
▶ We are looking for mature adults as players.
▶ I do not fudge on dice rolls, whatever gets rolled, is rolled.
▶ We are not looking for rules lawyers that will debate every rule the DM says.
▶ Mistakes will be made by players and the DM, deal with it.
▶ We want friendly, chill players that simply want to have a fun night of gaming.
• You can reach me on Discord by sending me a friend request to the name RPGrandPa.
• Facebook: This Facebook group is mainly for my Youtube channel but can also be used for this campaign as well.
• Email: If all else fails, my email is jamesefullard@gmail.com
This campaign will take place online using Roll20/Discord - so, Roll20 will be used for character sheets, dice roles, and maps. Discord will used for our voice audio/video. We "will" be using Webcams for the overlay so what this means is all members must have a stable internet connection and quality webcams as well as microphones for audio. One thing I tend to preach on is when we are playing each player is required to make sure they don't have any background noise bleeding through the microphones. This campaign will be recorded and uplaoded to Youtube for others to watch so we have to have everything on point.
Our schedule will be every other Saturday night from 7-10pm EST and occasionally we can slip in the Friday before, I will need players to stick to the schedule because with us playing every other weekend, if we miss a session, that puts us not playing for a month. If we have a cancelation of just one player, I will cancel that nights game . . . "one thing I always hated when I watched liveplays in the past is for a game night not have players show up but they run the game that night anyways" it just takes away from the viewing experiences for our viewers so please, once you agree to a schedule try to be at each session.
I understand we will have times someone needs to cancel "which will shut that nights game down" it happens and I understand that, hell, I may have to cancel one night so we will deal with those when they happen but if we do have to cancel a Saturday, maybe we can slide in the Friday before to replace the loss of that Saturday. This campaign will be ran using my own version of a modified Old-School Essentials system. We will be using the class based system "meaning races can be classes also". We have plenty of classes for players to choose from on our class page.I plan to run a very relaxed, very friendly game for my players. I am 59 years "young" and love gaming. I have always said, if someone can't get along with me then it is them that has the problem, you won't find a more friendly Dungeon Master than me. If you're looking for a friendly atmosphere, friendly down to earth players and a Dungeon Master that tries very hard to give his players something special, I would love to hear from you.
One last thing . . . everything about this group/game is based off of "eastern standard time", so any time a time is given it will be in EST. We prefer to bring in players from the USA with similar time zones as ours, it just makes things easier to schedule play times/dates but if you are not from the US and can manage the times/dates we set up to play on then that is fine.
▶ Important: Don't just blindly ask to join us, take the time to really go through the campaign blog, go through the links provided on this page. It's important that you understand exactly what this campaign involves, what rules we use, what house rules use and everything else. If you don't bother reading about this campaign and just go straight into asking blind questions that are either "already" answered here or somewhere else on the blog, you're going to get denied . . . just saying. Everything on this campaign blog was put here "for you" to use so please make use of it.
Rules
• Other Games During Game Time: Look, be respectful and while we are playing D&D, don't have World of Warcraft pulled up in the background etc. etc. Either you want to play in our campaign or you don't. Just be respectful please, your DM puts in a lot of hard work to try and give his players a good solid game.
• Be Mature: We are all adults, please ... let us all act like adults when we play.
• Real Life Stuff: We don't bring "anything political from the real world" to our table, we basically don't bring anything from the real world into our games.
• Pronouns: We don't do the pronoun silliness. When we sit down at the table, it's about the "game" and nothing else.
▶ Make sure you as a player understand this "entire" page before requesting to join this group.
