The Philadelphia Dungeons & Dragons Meetup Group

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

This will be a short and very experimental themed campaign where the players will be their actual selves transposed into the body of a young adult human 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 commonplace. The same goes for magic--it will be rarer but also more remarkable.

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.

This is a general event for PAX Unplugged 2025. Buy badges and find more information about this 3 day convention on their official website: https://unplugged.paxsite.com/en-us.html

No official meetup for this group has been planned at this time.

RSVP here if you intent on attending PAX Unplugged this year or to show general interest in the convention. If there's enough of us, maybe we'll have a meetup during the convention.

For those of you not overcome by shopping madness, here is something to do on your day off.

This will be a D&D 5e(2014) in person game. Players will be 3rd level single class players. Since they will be starting in dire straits, there's no need to generate an inventory. Generate characters by standard array or point buy using the 2014 PHB. There will be pre-gen characters for new players or, alternatively, DM me and we could meet somewhere to walk through character generation.

This will be in a private home. Final directions given by DM for those who are accepted.

Bring snacks or favored beverage if you like but there will be iced tea and a cheese board as a minimum.

Please RSVP by 5PM on Wednesday the 26th. When you RSVP will be asked what kind of character you want to play. If you are the first person to state you want to play a specific class I will post that class is taken.

Classes taken so far: Barbarian, sorcerer, warlock, bard.
