Adventures in the Dolmenwood

Save a city from hell, or watch as another suffers the same fate. Save Elturel from the Descent Startplaying.games Campiagn Link --- The Descent is a massive event in Forgotten Realms lore. One man's greed and lust for power led his entire city to be dragged to hell. Now, whoever said hell, can't be fun, hasn't played the Descent into Avernus. This campaign takes everything that you would expect from a game with this name, a small romp through a city that soon leads to a Mad Max style escapade throughout the first layer of Hell. Fighting both demons and devils to save a city. With no military affiliation to speak of, you do this for the love of the game. This campaign is so grandiose that you can fight not just one, but two seperate Gods. Whilst this campaign does take place in Hell. Make no mistake, there is plenty of room for comedic shenanigans. After all, if we didn't laugh, we'd certainly cry. --- Character creation Creating your character Character creation can happen in many ways: 📋 During Session 0 we can build a character together whilst we talk. 🐉 If you have a DNDBeyond sheet we can import it into the system. 📝 If you have a paper sheet I will re-create the character for you. 💪 Characters will be level 1 to start - Point Buy or Standard Array. 📕 Species and Subclasses from these books are permitted: PHB, MPMM, FTD, TCE, XGE, GotG, BMT, Forgotten Realms & The Module ⚡ Spells from all official books (barring Strixhaven) are permitted Creating a highly optimised or Min/Max build is highly discouraged. --- What to expect Preparing for the session 💻 A laptop or computer with a resolution of 1366x768 or higher is recommended to ease of viewing. 🔊 Discord 🎙️ A microphone 🕴️ A character idea or concept 📒 (Optional) Something to take notes on 📹 (Optional) A webcam Note that whilst I will play with a webcam on, players are not obligated to do so. --- What Matthew (ItsScottish) brings to the table 🎮 I will bring the server that the game will be hosted on firstly. 🔐 A secure server with HTTPS security. ⌛ Plenty of Patience for new players and a guiding hand 🍹 A curated atmosphere > 📞 NPC voices > 🔊 Background music and noises Including Combat > 🗺️ Plenty of Battlemaps 🧠 Vast Lore Knowledge of the world --- Homebrew rules 🎲 Roll Modifiers Unless stated otherwise, any action that adds to a roll must be called before the roll is made.

Hey everyone! We are a group of 4 players, who have come together to tackle the first and most difficult quest of all: find a GM... to then hopefully tackle many more! A little about us as a group: We are all in our mid-20s+ and come from different parts of Europe. We know each other for very different amounts of times (from childhood friends, playing together for around 1 year all the way to just joining together for this group), but we have played some sessions together so we built some chemistry together! Everyone has played a little bit, but most of us have only recently started playing PF2E. What are we looking for?: We are mostly looking to have a fun time with some nice mix of RP and combat. Basically just a pretty standard game. We are very open and excited to run through almost any AP or homebrew setting you feel like running! Only exceptions would be AV and SoT as Faraday knows those already Quick inidividual player rundown: Bread: Mostly ok with a lot of things mechanically but strictly prefers to play melee frontline classes. Not new to TTRPGs but very new to Pathfinder. I can get very invested in the story and love to roleplay and fight according to the story. Faraday/John: The most experienced with PF2E of the group. Note taker, plot hook follower who knows the shiny red button sometimes needs to be pushed, fun loving guy. Also hates having Charisma as a dump stat Wadoder: Also has a lot of experience with different TTRPGS, but only recently got into Pathfinder (after I gave him the final push and recruited him). He can come up with some very crazy and chaotic characters and you often wont know what hes up to next Advocate (me): I recently found my love for PF2E, its crunchier rules and especially the character customization. I mostly enjoy playing spellcasters, especially the Witch followed by Summoner! Im also a big note-taker and puzzle-enjoyer Platform/VTT: Discord for voice chat and we would prefer running through Foundry Availability: As the title says we are looking for a preferably weekly game on Monday or Wednesday starting at around 8 to 8:30pm Central European time and running for about 3h If this sounds like fun to you, send me a message on discord to "countadvocate".
