New Campaign - Weirdbridge: A Place at the Table w/Paul

DnD Edition: 5.5e
Campaign: Weirdbridge - A Seat at the Table

Our story begins at the Fat Little Rooster, a gritty rowdy tavern, beloved by its regular patrons, but despised by the surrounding neighborhood. the locals complain about the noise, disruptive clientele, and the occasional brawl spilling into the streets at night.
The Rooster is also known for being a hub of intrigue and adventure. Its for this reason you and your party have had lunch there every afternoon for the past week. Its not the soup or the stale bread, but the hope of getting a seat at the table for the next adventure to walk in the door.

Who are you? A motley crew of adventurers that have been working together for the odd job here and there for several weeks now. The most recent was a morning spent protecting the city dung sweepers from monstrous rats that have been attacking them from the sewers.
You are either lawful or chaotic good. For a table with new players or new-to-each-other players it is best for all characters to be good aligned.

Your DM. Showing up to a Meetup event where you don't know anyone can be a lil scary. If you'd like to get to know the DM a little, I am a 48 year old data nerd that got into DnD because of a TikTok. I am from the Midwest but moved out here for the clouds and the rain (not joking). I will be at the event 30 minutes ahead of time if you'd like to stop by before everyone else shows up.

Seats at the table. The suggested tip for each session is $30 and we are capping the table at 6.

• This campaign has 6 regular players.
• It will open up to those on the waitlist on a session by session basis for players to "guest star" if regular players cannot attend.
• Feel free to join the waitlist in case a spot opens up and you are ready to join at the last minute.
• The DM reserves the right to decide party make-up (Players and PC Levels)

Agenda: Not set in stone, more of a guide for pacing :-)

• 11:00: Play
• 2:00 to 2:30 - Find a good stopping point

Session 0. We will hold a session 0 on July 18th to determine party make up and determine hard / soft lines for play at the table.
