Forums » Looking for RP » Fae bound prince (DnD style campaign). (closed)

So I’m going to be upfront about a few things first.

1. I have never DM’ed before this.

2. I’ve only been a part of one DnD campaign that I never finished due to scheduling issues.

3. I’m going to be a bit looser with the rules due to this.

With all that out of the way, here’s a basic set up for the plot.

—————————————————

Not too long ago there was a king, a young king, true and fair in his workings who was said to have the blood of a dragon.Thus he was blessed with youth eternal, along with fire like red hair that carried the shades of the flame, and eyes of molten gold. Yet, as dazzling as his appearance was. He took no princess for a bride.

Rather he wedded himself to a librarian from a small village far away. With her, he bore two sons of different kinds. The eldest was Balor, that boy of cunning wit and determination that was willing to step on anyone to get what he wanted.
The other a boy who is known only as “the missing prince”. For he was taken from his bed as a babe by the fae to their own realm.

Balor grew to hate magic, for he saw only the atrocities that had been caused by it. So often he would get into argue, and many suffered due to their quarreling.
The prince was crafty, and though he cared for his father, he had his own pursuits. For though the king was fair, he was not good with money and often spent frivolously. Debt was a constant in the realm and often drew the ire of the lords. So Balor gathered them, and as smart as he is, he played on this.

Soon enough a civil war erupted and the king and queen were dead in their beds. Balor soon took power in Muspel, and set out to fulfill his ambitions.
The only hope of the realm is for a brave group of adventurers to travel to the realm of the fae and retrieve the lost prince. Or magic will fade from the world forever.


It’s basic and not very well thought out but there you go.
Rules:

1. 3+ paragraphs (though I prefer quality over quantity)

2. Respect that we all have busy lives and can’t post as often as we’d like to.

3. I’m going to allow everyone to play any race, not just the ones in the DnD manuals (feel free to make up your own, get nice and descriptive in creation).

4. I’m going to need character sheets, pretty thorough ones because without specifics I tend to mess things up along the way.

5. Be patient with me, this is my first time doing this.

6. Were only going to be using the 20 sided die until I have a better understanding of everything.

7. No OOC drama please.

8. Just have some fun ok? We’re all just here to have fun in the end.

Are you looking for a dnd character sheet? Also, how often would posts need to happen or is this flexible?

Everyone is a busy person with a life so posts are flexible, yes I’m expecting character sheets.

There are many different kinds of character sheets which is why I wanted to double check on which type you wanted. Thanks 🙂

Are you thinking 5th edition DnD? What level characters do you want? I've got a couple with 1st level stats, so they might be too underpowered. But I could perhaps bump them up a little...

for someone having only played one time before. I would suggest picking whatever edition it was that you played for your game. Also as a new dm I'd suggest focusing more on the plot and less about the rules especially since you're unfamiliar with them. The basic rule above all others for any sort of tabletop, but especially D&D is that a player only needs to make a role when their is a possibility of failure. Everything doesn't really matter as long as the plot is progressing and the players are having fun.

That being said. I'd be interested in joining this as well.

I played 5th edition in my first campaign, and I appreciate the advice from everyone. It is much needed, I’m hoping to make this a decently long campaign so first levels are appreciated.

Is this or this about the type of character sheet you're hoping for? (Not sure who I'd want to play yet!)

I am not DnD familiar but I would like to join along if you would let me join?

Getting the basics of a character isn't too bad with 5th edition. I haven't played much beyond 1st & 2nd level myself, but am happy to help.

If you've already got a character in mind, do one of these classes seem to fit him/her?

• Barbarian
• Bard
• Cleric
• Druid
• Fighter
• Monk
• Paladin
• Ranger
• Rogue
• Sorcerer
• Warlock
• Wizard

Those are perfect, and I apologize to all of you for replying so late as I have graduated quite recently.

Great!

If a gnome PC might fit, could I play Jip? He's got no RPs right now and maybe the fae theme might work out? Though, I'm good with playing Cedric (human fighter) too if he's just the better match for the story you have in mind.

He’ll work just fine

Is anyone still here?

Yes still following. Been waiting for you to say whos in and if characters are good to go.

So far everyone who has supplied me with a character sheet is in.

Still here.

Sorry, you can count me out of this one this time around. Hope y all have a blast!

I’m just going to repost this on the fantasy forum.

Cool, I've subscribed. We waiting on more folks before jumping into the game?
