[Closed] 🪖 Band of Bastards - DnD 5e 2024

I saw it, no problem with it except I don't know where to find the GP-Server invite link.

Nevermind, found it, part of it...

Here is my signature! That is awesome

I didn't mean to imply that you all had to join the GP server. Just wanted to let you know why I was asking some, and not all, of you about this.

Re: Discord. If we are using it in game, sure, I'll connect up to it. Have used Discord for the tabletop game I play in.

Just noticed this now. I want to stick to the PHB for mechanics to keep things simple.

Edit: ... but I like the concept and the picture :)

Forgot to mention my experience. Been playing on here for 2-3 years now I think. Played on other forums before, but the games always fizzled. Have played RPG since 3e, which then moved to 3.5e, and then PF1. Played 4e once, and never played PF2. 5.5e is my favorite.

In keeping with the tone of the game, I really want to play a salt of the earth type of character, not some super optimized character. No magic, not confident, afraid of combat, thinks everyone around him is so talented/better looking/smart/etc, and he’s all about the camaraderie (or vibes, is that what young people say?) Something like a goliath barbarian (yes, a barbarian who’d rather run away).

Can work with Trickery Cleric instead if you are willing. I have a particular mechanic to lead in to the duplicate/echo which is that my mother (a witch) enchanted my shadow to, well, spy on me. Until I reach the stage where I can utilize this myself, it just acts like a normal shadow except that instead of reflecting what I am actually doing, it reflects what my mother probably thinks I should be doing. No power, just flavor until I reach 3rd level and get my Invoke Duplicity. Might go a different race to reflavor (like Wood Elf instead of forest gnome) if I'm a cleric. Have to see if you like the shadow concept first.

discord is fine! is there a reason not to just use the forums here though? asking out of curiosity not because i have a problem with discord :D

This seems pretty fun.

Got room for one more?

Sounds cool. I think this setting is very forgiving in terms of what concepts that can work, so don't worry that I'll try to veto anything you come up with. Normally, I find it a little hard to engage in fantasy kitchen sink settings where absolutely everything is on the table, but here I want to embrace that.
That was also my question the first time I got invited to a game that used Discord for OoC chat. But I've tried it a few times now, and I find that it helps a lot with both pacing and the social aspects of the game. It just works better when you ask "how was everyone's weekend?" in Discord.
There won't be room for everyone that has expressed interest, unfortunately, but don't let that stop you.

I planned to keep this open until Friday, but considering the level of interest, I'll close it a bit earlier; probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

sounds good! just invite me to the discord whenever :)

Usally there is a discord link with in the OOC channel in the game. People rarely get invited to a discord without also being in a game

oh ok that makes sense. i figured i'd be invited if i was invited to the game but steamlining it to just the one invite is more reasonable by far haha

Yes, we'll do it like that.

I'll leave this open until Tuesday evening CET and then send out invites.

I am interested! Love using Discord, Have a concept for a character already.

Thanks everyone for expressing interest in this. Unfortunately, I don't have capacity to play this with all of you, so I will invite:

@badbaron, @CouchLord0510, @Dominic, @grifter730, and @SJoyner72

SJ, Grif, and I are in the same game that is currently on long term pause. That's been a lot of fun, and I would like to explore this setting with them. I didn't have a good metric for the rest of the selection, so I gave priority to people that are currently in fewer games, and randomness did the rest.

If spots open up later, I'll post about it here. I hope I'll get the oportunity to play with you all another time.

I know a few of you expressed interest in spectating this. However, I plan to keep the forums closed due to the mature content.

Have fun, all. Keep your heads down and stick it to those Izans.

Good luck and have fun.

Have fun! =)
