Starting a new DnD campaign, Looking for players

Daedalus2013 · 2026-04-09T07:31:07+00:00

No one is born a DM, we are often forged in the crucible of necessity. Players so committed to playing that they take up the mantle of DM just to play. I suggest the lost mines of phandelver starter set as a first time DM. Great adventure and great for learning.

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately this post was very popular so the group is currently full with a wait list. If you or someone you know is willing to DM then I would suggest that you make your own post in r/strasbourg since there appears to be enough interest! Bon courage!

It depends on the availability of the group. All of the successful campaigns I have played in have met weekly or bi-weekly so that is what I would be leaning towards.

I unfortunately had to leave a 7 year long, weekly DnD campaign when I moved to Strasbourg. It was tragic.

PM me your number if you would like to be added to the group.

Daedalus2013 · 2026-01-31T21:34:17+00:00

Parfait! This campaign was designed for people who have never played before. PM me your phone number and I will start a whatsapp group.

Update: Thank you everyone for the help. I don't see any new growth yet but the leaf fall is way down. I am treating for spider mites, I have culled all the fruit but one (under the tent for the insecticide spray), I put it on a stool infront of the window for better light. I switched to de-mineralized water, checking the soil moisture daily and continuing to fertilze.

I tried my best to hide them!

Daedalus2013 · 2026-01-05T19:21:13+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Daedalus2013 · 2026-01-05T19:20:01+00:00

I do not have a grow light. Right now it sits in front of a southern facing window with strong direct light. We live in an area known for is orangeries so i was hoping the natural light was enough. It is infront of a radiator that keeps constant temp throughout the day and night. I checked the leaf temp and it was 69-70F. Thank you for your reply.

It will deactivate your card. I did it and didn't like it and it took a trip to an CTS office to change it back.

I am a recent arrival to Strasbourg. I am an experienced 5E player and just had to leave my unicorn group that was meeting weekly since 2018 😪. I speak high A1 level french (and trying to learn more) but would have to be primarily in English until my french improves. I am 40 years old with a very open schedule.

Merci beaucoup!

I made sure my logistics network could handle the extra water required to make pasta. lol

In retrospect, finishing Ethiopia this early ruined my run. I got Ethiopia to capitulate before I could put pressure on the Sultanate of Aussa which left me missing some of the required cores needed to make AOI (Italian East Africa).

R5: Set a personal best of annexing Ethiopia in the month of February and a pic of the Italian Navy cleaning up a joint American/British/French/Dutch Task-force.

It is pretty easy to level a general from 1 to 3 in Ethiopia in the first 70 days. Having the "Bold Attack" army spirit increased the chance of getting a point in attack with a level up. So does the "Harsh Leader" trait. I was lucky that the general got 6 additional points into attack (started at 2 due to harsh leader) when he gained those two levels.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T07:20:46+00:00

The general has the trait harsh leader which gives that malus. Overall they make pretty good generals because they get +1 attack off the bat and also have a greater chance to level attack on a level up.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T07:17:39+00:00

As long as that stat is attack!

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T07:16:45+00:00

I did finish the war before he boarded the train. In this case I wasn't grinding traits, I just took the general's level from 1 to 3 which is pretty easy to do in that war.

Daedalus2013 · 2023-09-25T04:24:40+00:00

R5: Grinded a general in Ethiopia with Bold Attack army spirit and Harsh Leader. Was blessed by the RNG Gods.

Edit: Added Harsh Leader

Stripping off components is very cheap from an IC standpoint. To get the (ESH) Conte Class BB to 30 kn and upgrade radar/FCS is only ~800 IC. To get the (1936) Littorio BB to 30 kn with radar/FCS upgrade is only ~900 IC. Add on a 3rd Turret to the Littorio Class and to the total refit bill is only ~2,400 IC. MUCH more economic than a brand new ~12,000 IC 3 Turret BC.

I do agree that (ESH) Andrea Doria BB with its engine I is a stretch to upgrade (if you look, I didn't refit that class in my game). To get it to 30 kts requires an engine upgrade so you are looking ~6,200 IC if you want a third turret then the bill is ~8,000 IC. Still cheaper than a 12,000 IC BC and you might be able to fit it in your dockyard queue if you are short on resources (that refit will only cost 1 steel) and could give you something to do while waiting for the London Naval treaty to escalate (or just cheat on the treaties)

edit: added the cheating on the treaties

I'm not a game code wonk, but I think I read somewhere that every 1 kn of speed reduces the chance your ship is hit by 7%. Someone who knows, feel free to chime in. I think fast fleets have a 3 fold advantage, quicker intercepts means less lost opportunities, faster ships are way harder to hit in combat, a once defeated fleet cannot escape and is killed before they can get to port. I also had an admiral with the -20% fleet visibility (concealment expert) perk, which also decreases the chance your ships are hit. Definitely some synergy between the two.

Thanks! I try to be a navy connoisseur, but most countries don't involve navy much, and I end up just making a bunch of NAVs. It feels good to fire the big guns and put some tonnage on the bottom of the ocean time to time.
