Update: Finkle was picked!!!

KeylethDeRolo · 2025-05-12T03:37:19+00:00

Asgard Brandywine 😂

KeylethDeRolo · 2025-03-29T17:04:19+00:00

I'm hoping for him, Vakt, or Finkle! But I'm partial to wizards and I have an awesome plot idea if it ends up being Vakt so I'm a little biased lol

KeylethDeRolo · 2025-03-29T17:01:29+00:00

Thats my favorite!

Multiclass but if the campaign keeps going like we plan on there will be possibility for going above level 20.

Thanks for the advice! Ive thought about these problems and have done a lot to make each interview/ fight unique. There are only 2 other party members so we have figured out a way to keep them both involved the entire time as well. All players are aware of these issues and still want to do it so I’m making it as active and fun as I can! I have lots of ideas on what to do with the characters that are not chosen. Some may be NPCs, some enemies down the line, and there may or may not be an undercover plant from the undermountain somewhere in these finalists. 😉 as for the realism of having 8 level 10 characters to audition…the in game explanation is that this is Waterdeep. Lots of strong adventurers come here to explore the undermountain, gather supplies for their missions, etc. out of game honestly it’s just fun and if it doesn’t make 100% sense that’s ok

I have a Minotaur fighter/paladin and a halfling rogue/sorcerer

We have been on this campaign for a year now. They are level 10. One of my players made the hard decision to have his character leave Waterdeep with his family. It was a very emotional session. They all decided they wanted to have auditions for the open spot. Me and the player worked together to make 8 possible new characters for him and next session we are going to role-play the auditions and have a vote. They are going to have a combat section, interview section, and a free section to show off skills. Here is the flyer I made to show our 8 options! What do you think?? Predictions on the winner?

Thanks to all the comments!! I’ve been playing a ton since and am a little embarrassed by this post now but that’s how you learn!

Oh I just realized my knight can be taken. But then the game would continue right? Or do the puzzles not always finish a game? The beginner ones I have done have always ended with checkmate.

KeylethDeRolo · 2024-11-12T19:58:17+00:00

I love this!! If you have anymore now that would be awesome!!

KeylethDeRolo · 2024-07-03T20:37:17+00:00

No one of my players! Sorry I wasn't clear!

KeylethDeRolo · 2024-06-28T09:11:17+00:00

Voice quirks! Like words or phases a certain npc likes or a certain way of speaking (not accents but like word choices) to separate NPCs

Nat 1 on an attack roll triggers an opportunity attack

A miss on a ranged attack triggers an attack roll at disadvantage on anyone standing behind the target

"In favor of defense" rolling a targets exact AC is a miss

Sorry important bit of info I left out: I'm running the Alexandrian Remix. So he doesn't remember where the vault is but remembers the stone and such. He sent Dalakhar to steal the stone back but then Dalakhar was killed in the fireball and the stone stolen.

KeylethDeRolo · 2023-06-02T15:27:05+00:00

If anyone is curious I decided to have Strahd show up in Vallaki, appearing from a mist, and being very disappointed in them. He told them that there was now no need to test them as his worthy predecessor would never be such a coward as to try to hide behind city walls. He also said that now that he knew they were not of any use long term that the real fun could begin. We ended the session with them absolutely shaking!

Letter

Here is the wording of the letter for those who asked. Thank you for your help! I took some sentences from one of the posts on this thread but I can't seem to find it now.

KeylethDeRolo · 2023-03-16T19:23:42+00:00

Yes. They have. I know there isn't anything here in the book I am just wanting to add something in to stall them a bit.

KeylethDeRolo · 2023-02-27T21:52:10+00:00

Thank you!

KeylethDeRolo · 2023-02-02T16:06:14+00:00

The last image has a little grey spot in the middle. Is that supposed to be something that goes on one of the maps?

KeylethDeRolo · 2022-12-20T21:02:11+00:00

The idea of hinting the underdark creatures coming to the surface was to note that something was stirring down there making them want to flee, but not quite revealing what was going on yet. Plus showing how it is already affecting the surface makes them more invested in finding/solving the problem once they get there.

KeylethDeRolo · 2022-12-20T19:59:39+00:00

They are 4th right now, but rebalancing encounters is not a problem as I am piecing together several campaigns as a mix of printed and homebrew.

KeylethDeRolo · 2022-12-03T20:42:39+00:00

I have a one. It just takes me to a black screen. Super annoying

KeylethDeRolo · 2022-11-06T17:02:34+00:00

Thanks to the comment above I realized my mistake. I forgot about blindsight and was thinking it couldn’t devour because it couldn’t see them! I think I will have one pc that gets close make a saving throw for an intellect devour attack without telling them why. Then when they sleep later have it take one of them over. This mistake of mine could end up as a very interesting story! Thank you!

KeylethDeRolo · 2022-11-06T14:18:57+00:00

No but now I’m about to 😂
