The Philadelphia Dungeons & Dragons Meetup Group

After four years Raktus Harve, the big bad wizard, surrendered to the party to preserve his own life and that of his three darling daughters. The campaign is officially over but the bragging.

We will be having a celebratory dinner at the Samarkand Steakhouse in Feasterville. All current and former players are invited! But please RSVP so we can make proper reservations.

Reservations close Wednesday the 15th at 6PM.

DM me if you need help with transportation.

A new campaign starts with a spooky start: Being chased through a snowy forest by wolves.

This will be a short and very experimental campaign where the players will be their actual selves transposed into the body of a young adult in a fantasy world.

All players will be 1st level humans generated using 2014 5e PHB point buy. Dwarves, elves and gnomes will exist along with other fae but they are intended to be wondrous encounters, not common place.

Character equipment will be given out at start of play.

By way of explanation I've always had a fondness for fish out of water stories such as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. That's what we'll be attempting here.

We may have spaces for one or two more players. DM the organizer if you would like to join.

Our characters met in prison.

Our players have arrived in Kingsrock and find themselves wondering how they will make ends meet....

Current characters are:

Selphi Celeborn, high elf bard.
Myddion Bramble, forest gnome wizard.
Darinius Servac, human monk.
Travik Stoneborn, Dwarf fighter.

This is a 5e beginners campaign but experienced players are also welcome.

To characterize me, I would say I am an Old School Gamer who is comfortable with the 5e(2014) rules. Play will be "Parlor Informal," I don't even own a DM screen. (But I do have minis. Lots of them. :)

I'm limiting player characters to a subset of the 2014 Player's Handbook. I feel there's plenty of choices there for new and old players alike. This is intended to keep new players from being continuously upstaged my experienced players with Reddit Power Builds. (Plus I'm not buying any more books if I can help it.)

The campaign is pretty much a sandbox as no story arc has developed. But it may very well happen down the line.

A monthly virtual hangout for local D&D Adventurers and Players. Players of all experiences welcome - especially absolute beginners.
