Dnd, but also cows? and maybe lizards?

[The Stormfather He/Him]

*Cracks knuckles*

So I've been trying to get a role-playing game started and the fourth bridges crew only has three people playing,(Join that too!) So I wanted to make another one.

Dnd is awesome, so here we are, with the great dnd campaign " Dnd but also cows? and lizards?"

In this campaign, new features and class traits along with homebrew monsters that live inside my crazy insane brain will do their best job to make the most INSANE and hopefully fun * fingers crossed* DND campaign.

Some things to know : Monsters and NPC's will all be using homebrew stats, so don't expect something else when fighting.

you start at level 1, be SURE to have a backstory, and PM me any important things in your life, because backstories will come up.

you get to start with equipment AND gold for your class.

PM me any questions, and please join. 

AFTER the campaign starts, you can still join! I'll give you a summary of whats happened and you can pop in.

You will not be on any recgognizable DND world, but you can be from faerun if you want.

Anyone who wants to help run this, PMs.

My PMs are always open. Because no one PM's me anything.

[J. Magi she/her]

This looks interesting! I'm not sure if I can join because I'm going to be fairly busy in the near future but I might try to slide in, we'll see.

[The Stormfather He/Him]

Ok! cool!

could you... advertise?

[J. Magi she/her]

Sure! I guess I could make an SU about it

Thanks!

It should be fun.

BTW for character making please only classes from the players handbook.

[Channelknight Fadran]

*sad artificer noises*

[The Stormfather He/Him]

 you can be an artificer. I have tasha's cauldron.

I just don't want classes that I don't know.

Artificers are cool!

Fortunately, that's the only none Player's handbook class!
 

[The Stormfather He/Him]

Oh, cool!

Anyways, for an intersting bit of starting lore, 

This is the land of Shav'likor. Ruled over by king Ilit, and Queen Nafit, Tehy keep a steady hold on the country without any rumblings of rebelllion and are renowned as kind and just.

This campaign takes place is Shinim,a small countryside village famed for it's large swaths of pastures with cows and bison.

The town has a small tavern known as the Little bear, with an inn that barely charges money. The Country uses standard gold copper silver and electrum, with the rare platinum.

Shinim is also famous in the adventurers world for once having had several dissapearances, most notably Erikk Danvel, the Mayor. Along with him, Inva Danvel, his duaghter who often frequented the tavern and Erif Davel, his son who worked the field often and was popular among the farmers.

Every 9 posts you will learn stuff. If this is the ninth post.

[PyroPhile he/him]

I would join this if I knew how to DnD 

[The Stormfather He/Him]

Do you want me to send a very long PM about the outer rules? It's complex, but also not, in a way thats complex.

(I know, It makes no sense.)

We can teach you as it goes

[The Stormfather He/Him]

Just use DNDbeyond to make a character sheet. It's very helpful and explains most of it as you do it. Maybe If you don't know the compicated rules, don't be a full magician, because their stuff gets complex and weird.

I cna alos help you make a backstory if ye need it.

One way to learn right?

[Aeoryi she/her]

Sure sign me up ig

 

[The Stormfather He/Him]

Yay!!! Also sorry I said every 9 posts stuff would be poster but this all happened whilst I Was outside.

Extra interesting tidbits: Shinim, the village you are staying at, is named after Shinyum, a tale of a ghost haunting a bandit camp, and annoying them and making them promise to stop raiding and looting. The ghost's name was Shinyum, pronounced Shin-ee-yum

The bandits were the grand raider's guild, who were abolished around the time when the tale takes place.

Edit : Shav'likor, the country, is fairly circular( as countries go,) and Shinim is on the eastern coast. Shinim sadly doesn't have a port tho. The capital is vaguely in the center but a bit south, and borders a lake that is the center. 

Has anyone made a character sheet yet?

I can't wait! I'm so exited!

adding stuff!

[J. Magi she/her]

okaaaaaaay, here is my character sheet, hopefully I did everything correctly:

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/104662238

(I hope the link works)

Backstory:

Spoiler

One day, when he was small lad, while playing outside he ran into a witch. He made a really bad pun in front of the witch, thus angering her. She cursed him to always make terrible jokes every chance he got, for the rest of his life. When his family found out, they insisted he pursue the life of an entertainer, thinking he could make lots of good money. They seemed to miss the fact that he can only make *bad* jokes. So he set out, despite not really having an interest in the performing arts, to become a world famous comedian. And hopefully not die along the way.

I don't have access to the character sheet.

This is a tiefling at the tavern, the main NPC:

I was born at a young age, cast away from parents who didn't want a tiefling child. I went to the scholar's guild, broke and hungry, who paid me in return to giving them information on tieflings and demons, also improving their infernal speech. I made fast friends with Ifilat, Another tiefling, a guard of the guildhouse in the capital. We studied demons and devils together many a time. I made an enemy of Baphomet in my studies. A scholar, his name escapes me, summoned a demon to ask it a question. That demons happened to be a balor, one of baphomet's servants who was on an urgent mission, and was disrupted. The other scholars were killed, and Me, Ifilat, and seldom few others of the guild of three hundred escaped the wrath of the Balor. After that, I ran away from the capital, finding myself In an un-named little group of houses by a river, staying with them and finding ancient texts buried deep beneath the ground. Those texts hold the incantations to grant boons and features to different classes, of varying strength, A spell known as Improve upon skills I was hunted down by " Archeologists" who wanted the texts to sell to a collector. I ran from that unnamed village, hiding out in the bush for several years. I befriended many animals, most notably my familiar "Hoothydi" a snowy owl. I then went out, searching for remnants of the long-gone scholar's guild, But baphomet got to them first. I found three of them, dead, and hunted down the imp that did it, leading royal soldiers to the imp, who had called upon four of it's kind. Two royal soldiers died facing the group of demons, and upon one of them I found my elmwood bow, Crimson. I ran from there, hiding for another month, sneaking around imps, with three royal soldiers, Aki, Eresa, and Tirar. From there, we split ways after no demons came after me for a year, and I wandered until I found myself in the tavern In Shinim.
