Melodies and Mayhem (Newbie Friendly Campaign) w/ Paul

DnD Edition: 5.5e (2024)
Setting: Forgotten Realms

You're quest for fame and fortune has only just begun. Your band has just signed a deal with a manager. You've recorded your first single (TBD) and today is the first day of your tour. The next year on the road will determine if you get the most coveted invitation any performer can get, a spot at the grand festival in the Moonshae Island, the March of Vice!

The stage at the market in the sleepy town of Celwould is a smaller start to your tour than you had hoped, but its a start. As you and your bandmates are packing up your instruments, you are approached by a very curious quest giver in need of help.

Seats at the table. Each session is $20 and we are capping the table at 6.

• This campaign will have 6 regular players.
• Once the table is set, 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)

Character Creation.

• We will follow the DND4N rules for character creation.
• Your Character DOESN'T have to be a Bard. There are many ways to gain proficiency in musical instruments: subclasses, backgrounds, feats, etc. We can work that out on day 1.
• Our first session will include building our characters, but please feel free to put some ideas together beforehand.

You Meet in a Tavern. We will be meeting at the PDX Sliders in Sellwood-Mooreland.

Agenda: As I said, our first session will focus on character creation and session 0. After that:

• 7:30 - Play
• 10:00 to 10:30 - Find a good stopping point

Safety Tools. For gameplay at the table:

• All players are welcome at this table and will be respected
• Hard Lines: This game will not contain physical violence towards children, animal cruelty, party-initiated torture, inter-party violence or betrayal, or any sexual themes.
• “Pause for a second”: If at any point you feel uncomfortable or don’t agree with the direction the game is going
• Content themes and warnings can be found below.

This game is PG-13. Depictions of fantasy violence, infrequent body horror, disturbing images, possible brief romantic situations, FREQUENT PROFANITY (I curse a lot), some crude humor, emotional thematic content, and possible death and grief.

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 46 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).
