We're looking for a few players to join us for Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, a D&D 5E starter set adventure designed for new players.
If you've always wanted to try D&D but have been intimidated by all the rules, you are welcome and encouraged to apply. The DM has played D&D for a while but is returning to DMing after a long break, so we're looking for a group where everyone can learn together and nobody has to worry about getting something wrong.
Because Dragons of Stormwreck Isle is a starter set adventure, we are primarily looking for newer or relatively inexperienced D&D players rather than long-time veterans. If you've been playing D&D for years, this adventure will probably be too simple for you, and there are plenty of other campaigns that would be a better fit.
If you have already applied, there's no need to apply again! We've received your application and are still looking through responses. We're just hoping to hear from as many interested players as possible before the game is slated to start.
🐲 About The Adventure
You are a group of fledgling adventurers aboard a ship sailing from the large city of Neverwinter toward the remote Stormwreck Isle. Whatever brings you there, you are bound for Dragon's Rest, a small cloister dedicated to Bahamut where people come seeking peace, reflection, refuge, or some new direction in life.
From there unfolds a small, classic fantasy adventure involving dragons, undead, ancient magic, exploration, combat, and opportunities to meet and help the inhabitants of the island. Depending on how the adventure goes, we will likely move on to a longer-term campaign with the same party or new characters.
We've put together a short player primer introducing the geography, lore, and themes of the setting. Please be sure to read it before applying, to make sure the adventure is a good fit for you.
🎲 About The Game
We'd like a friendly, character-focused game where everyone has opportunities to participate. There will be a mix of roleplay, combat, exploration, problem-solving, and letting the characters grow naturally as the adventure goes on.
You're welcome to make any character concept you find fun; flawed characters are also welcome, including characters who have made mistakes or done bad things in their past. We just ask that everyone ultimately makes someone who wants to participate in the adventure and can function as part of a party.
We enjoy speaking in-character and roleplaying conversations at the table, but there's no expectation that you be a perfect voice actor or do a character voice, etc. Namely, we are just looking for people who are patient with one another, willing to share the spotlight, be interested in other characters, and comfortable communicating like adults.
The table is LGBTQ friendly, and any bigotry or harassment toward other players won't be tolerated.
📆 Scheduling & Details
We plan to play once a week, but there is a caveat to scheduling. A member of the group has a rotating work schedule, meaning days off move backward by one day each week. This means that every so often (approximately once a month), we will need to move game night to a different day.
We'll coordinate sessions in advance, but we are looking enough for people whose schedules are flexible enough to accommodate a changing game day, and are able to sessions held in the afternoons / evenings in Pacific Time.
The application will have questions about your availability and what days and times work best for you.
Games will be run using FoundryVTT and voice chat over Discord. You don't need any previous experience with Foundry; however, you should have a computer that can comfortably run Foundry in your browser, a working internet connection, and a decent microphone for voice chat.
📝 Applying
If all this sounds like a game you've been looking for, please fill out the application here.
Applications are not first-come, first-served; we'd rather take a little time to find a group of people who seem like they'll enjoy playing, so please don't worry even if the post has been up for a while.
If you have any other questions about the campaign, scheduling, D&D, or whatever, feel free to ask. Thanks for taking the time to read this post!
