Princes of the Apocalypse a D&D 5e Adventure - Full Party

Good day to you. I am in need for four or five brave adventurers to go out and answer the call to slay elemental evils. Would you like to go on this quest?

In other words, I have this module for D&D 5e, its called Princes of the Apocalypse. 4 or 5 players is probably the best party size (The book does not say, but my friends and I who regularly punch above our level ended up having a few issues with 3 players).

If you are interested, just post here. There is a mini adventure first which gets new characters up to level 3 where the full adventure starts, we could also skip this and just start at level 3 if you all want. No need to make your character immediately, by the way, we can get our group together then people can decide what class and whatnot that they want to play.

In the event that you are interested but do not have any of the source books for 5e, PM me and I will help you get them.

Set sights on adventure!

PLAYERS

Irrelephant11 playing Ellywick Nackle the Bard
Haschel Cedricson playing Harald Tornsvala the Cleric
skitter30 playing Aderyn Lackwater the Druid
Panzerjager playing Plume of Smoke, the Rogue
Xalxe playing Joell Wilder the Fighter

Replacements should one of our adventurers vanish:
xReckonerx
McMenno

Is this a Play-by-Post or will it be over Roll20/Discord/Other?

Oh, forgot to say. I am not requiring any experience and I will always be willing to help anyone that needs it.

To give you an idea of my experience, my normal group met weekly for about 2 years while D&D 5e was still new, I also for some time played 3.5e, but 3.5 was confusing, 5e is pretty simple and if you want, this can be a learning experience.

Definitely interested, but idk about commitment. Also I'm only somewhat familiar with any kind of DnD (I did one PbP a long time ago and I don't remember the version). What kind of time commitment are you expecting from players?

It's pretty casual, so, like a post each week?

I'm fine with it moving slowly.

Anything published by WotC in its most recent form. (So, like if divine soul was different in the UA's from Xanthar's Guide to Everything, use Xanthar's)

I'll consider anything outside of Wizards of the Coast official stuff, but I'm going to need to look and make sure its not ridiculous to the point that party members will feel useless next to you.

That's fine, we are all new at some point.

If this is a full in, we have 3 definite ins and 2 which I'm not sure about I'll add the list to the OP.

I feel like 5 is the right number. Also, for those looking to start working up characters, going to do this differently from my main group, which cannot get away from the 4d6 method, and say that stats are going to be point buy.

Also, here are some character sheets if you like, with some pregenerated characters which may help and here is an improvement upon the character sheets.

This is the app I use for character sheets. (Here for apple users).

Here is a spellbook app to make life easier for casters. I cannot find one on Apple. I also have not played a caster in a while so this may not be the best app anymore, but it has good reviews.

This is my super secret "I've bought all the books, but just want to bring my phone and dice" link. Don't tell anyone. For new players, best place to start is the PHB. Please do not read this adventure, though I guess if you have done it before, there's not much harm.

Let me know if you need anything more to start setting up the party.

Review of reddit tells me that this is the best app for D&D on apple.

I have an android and have not owned an apple product in years, so cannot say with any personal knowledge that this is good.

To some extent we should be discussing our character choices to make a group that makes some sense, yes? Or if it doesn’t make sense (like 5 bards) it’s at least knowingly wonky?

I played a bard in my only other game and enjoyed it. I suspect I would enjoy most casters or unique builds (maybe rogue or something?)

I would NOT enjoy any meat-shield type roles, or anything min/maxed

In my experience, the published adventures do not need to be min/maxed.

And irrelephant, you are crazy not liking big meat shields. My favorite 5e character so far is still my dragonborn paladin.

Think of your concept first and your race/class later. I usually ask people if they want to be fighty, sneaky, healy, or casty. Then narrow it down.

Alright, here are the places to start looking.

Cleric
heals and casts spells. Depending on the god you worship you may be decent in combat as well.
Druid
mostly nature-themed spells. Your choice of either more spells or being really good at turning into animals.
Sorcerer
learns a few spells but can cast them very well.
Warlock
casts even fewer spells but can cast them more often and always at max power. Also gets boon from some sort of otherworldly patron.
Wizard
can eventually learn a wide variety of spells. Can specialize in a specific school of magic (conjuration, enchantment, necromancy e.g.) for various effects.

If y'all end up needing a replacement let me know; never done PBP before though.
