Twice a week | 7pm CST to 10:30pm CST | Weekends ( Saturday / Sunday ) With leeway. Starting date is currently TBD but hoping to begin sooner rather than later. Balanced amount of Roleplay; Combat; and Exploration. Open to light Homebrew with discussion. Rule of Cool supported. Largely classic 5e/5.5e rules. World and enemies are Homebrew design with heavy inspiration from source material. Discord ; Roll 20; 3D Model showcases; Theater of the mind + Campaign and Battle Maps + Ambience / Music - "The Vermintide" is my upcoming Homebrew DnD campaign based heavily but not entirely on the Skaven of the Total War: Warhammer universe. No prior knowledge of this material is required. The story follows a semi-post-apocalyptic scenario in which Ratmen known as the "Skaven" who were previously believed to be an ancient myth have risen from their hidden under-empire in order to wipe out the surface dwellers. Players will be among the few heroes selected from their respective races and factions to defend what remains of their world from the villainous Ratmen as they slowly work towards a common goal of tearing apart their verminous schemes before all is lost. This is a long-term campaign with aspirations of forming tight friendships and a long term commitment that will go on for as long as the players have the will to play. Adding days, taking days off, extending times or calling it early are all open to discussion and there are no hard-set rules. That being said, please think hard about if you are able/willing to commit to something like this before reaching out so we can avoid any potential disasters or conflicts of interest. - Starting level is level 3 - Point buy system - All sources allowed with discussion; Light homebrew or modifications of systems allowed with discussion. - Character creation is very open. Go wild. Make a character you're excited to play and we'll work together to make it happen in a balanced and logical way. My ONLY ask is that you attempt to refrain from making a total "Joke" character as this is intended to be a dark and heavy campaign atmosphere. - New players are welcome and the DM is happy to teach and be very patient. - Players are expected to be consistent with attendance or give a notice of absence in advance. Life happens, days are flexible and we don't live life around the game ( except for me ) and that's okay! This is a hobby we are sharing together though so please be mindful of other's time. - Evil characters and inter-party conflicts are not outright banned but will require group discussion and consent. - Story is structured but player freedom of choice and direction is completely prioritized. There will be lots of improv and almost no railroading unless we are severely off track. I heavily prefer having 1 on 1's over voice to see if we're a good fit! Video is NOT required for the game but always welcome to those who wish to. This is an LGBTQ+ and Judgement free zone; Be respectful to one another. Story includes darker more mature themes including lots and lots of rat gore and fantasy racism. Please be 18+. Feel free to DM me directly with any questions or if you have any interest. If you want to learn more about the world or hear more from me about the source material I'll be using please feel welcome to that as well. Thank you so much!
