The Natural Ones (a Dungeons and Dragons TTRPG Group)

Eberron: Confidential. Forgotten Relics (D&D5e 2024)

Sat, Mar 7 · 11:00 AM EST

Games & Comics Pair O’Dice, 10385 Main St, Fairfax, VA, US

From afar, the glittering towers of Sharn seem warm and inviting. But that beauty belies a seedy underbelly where the common citizen ekes out a living and those with some amount of talent or experience can ply their trade as an agent for hire. The dark alleys erupt with slung spells and whizzing bullets. Tales of intrigue, crime, and double deals abound. This adventure is one of those tales... Join us for Eberron: Confidential.

Note: Please join the event even if its full! We are trying to gauge community interest so we know how many DMs we should recruit to support our player population!

Questions & Concerns: If you have any questions, please feel free to message me either on Discord(@vinbear) or here on Meetup.

This week's plothook:
Inspector Germaine Vilroy of the Sharn Watch has reached out to agents of your skill to retrieve a witness from the Cogs, the poorest and lowest district of Sharn. She believes her witness has key information regarding a case that could expose connections between the criminal Daask gang from Droaam and one of the Dragonmarked Houses, but can't afford to be seen below the Lower City. Will you and your fellow agents be able to retrieve the witness and get to the bottom of the conspiracy?

Feel free to make a character or use one of the Pre-Generated Characters available! (See below for Pre-Gen bios and Character Creation Guidelines)

Pre-Generated Characters:
The Punchy Priest: Tiefling Pugilist (Street Saint)
Despite a fiendish appearance, the Priest has a heart of gold. When donations aren't enough for upkeep of the chapel and grounds, they find supplemental income from jobs that require the throwing of hands.
Tags: Melee, Observant, Intimidating, Healer

The Cautious Convict: Dwarf Rogue (Soul-Knife)
Everyone has a calling, unfortunately the Convict is acutely aware of the little voice in their head that goads them into shady ventures. Granted, it also makes them pretty good at getting away with it.
Tags: Melee or Ranged, Stealthy, Jack of all Trades, Utility

The Enthralling Enchanter: Changeling Warlock (GOO patron)
Changing faces like others change clothes, the Enchanter isn't sure who they are anymore. But their gifts of disguise and magic allow them to be extremely profitable with jobs where subterfuge is needed.
Tags: Magic, Control, Shape changer, Charismatic, Telepath

The Gregarious Gunslinger: (multiple versions)
After becoming bored with always winning at cards and gunfights, the Gunslinger sought excitement elsewhere. Armed with a quick tongue and quicker draw, they are a gun-for-hire to various groups in Sharn.

D&D Campaign Pitches & Forming Groups (Take 2)

Whether you're a player looking for a campaign, or a DM looking for players, this is the event for you! We'll meet and have DMs pitch their games and then open time for Q&A (players to talk to DMs, trade contact information, or ask more questions.)

IF YOU OR YOUR GUESTS ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, UPDATE YOUR RSVP

Agenda:
1900 - Arrival, gather, find seats
1915 - DMs pitch their campaigns
2000 - Open mingle, trade contact info, talk with potential groupmates

All player and DM experience levels are welcome!

For DM Consideration:
When thinking of how to pitch your game, be sure to include the following details:

• Game system
• Location
• Day/Time
• Frequency of sessions
• Number of players wanted
• Campaign concept
• Tone of the game
• Any fun (but spoiler-free!) details that will really spark interest in your game!

From Matt Colville:
Pitching Your Game: Running the Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtH1SP1grxo

We'll be pretty informal and allow questions after each pitch. No need to over-prepare, but do think of how best to sell players on your campaign! Also, while this is a D&D group, feel free to pitch a different game system if you'd like.

For Player Consideration:
Before you arrive, consider your preferences in terms of play schedules, location, campaign style, etc. Other than that, just bring your curiosity and sense of adventure!

We'll meet in Paradise Games and Gifts (new name of GCPD). If I am not there greeting people and guiding them to our reserved area please kindly ask a staff member to point you in the right direction.
