Malcolmshaw’s 5th Edition D&D RPG Review

First I wish to congratulate Aericsteele on a successful takeoff of his 5e game and happy adventuring to those who have joined as PCs in Aericsteele’s Clear Creek adventures. I too have a Homebrew World that utilizes 5e as the gaming system.

- Robert Jordan, "The Wheel of Time"

The Shrouded Isle is a city adventure for four (4) to six (6) players. The streets have no names. Every building is unique in its own features. Smoke and steam and occasionally something else spew forth from the Under City. What little sunlight filters through The Shroud is often blocked by the floating platforms of Sky City. The Wisps or Eyes police the Isle.

The players are all associates of a newly formed Courier and Delivery Service, one of many on the Isle. Ideally, a CDS will deliver requested goods in trade for other goods across the Isle. At the present the players are able to go through out the Isle undeterred by the Wisps. Conflicts amongst other Courier and Delivery Services have been rumored but never confirmed.

The choices are yours, what will you do?

Character Creation:

These will be 0-level characters as players are in their youth. Players will start with all abilities at 8 with 6 points to spend utilizing the Ability Score Point Cost on page 13 of the PHB (Player’s handbook). No ability may exceed 10 at this point.

Players will select two (2) backgrounds from pages 127 to 141 of the PHB to represent things that your characters have learned from their parents. Record Skill Proficiencies ONLY.

Players may select from these races: Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Human, Halfling, Half-Elf, and Half-Orc and disregard subraces at this time. Racial Traits, Hit Points, and Equipment will be covered by the GM once you have decided on Abilities, Backgrounds, and Race.

Further details on Character Creation will be addressed in the Character Creation Thread.

Post your interest below. Thanks - MS.

Neil,

I appreciate your interest. Please follow through with registration for the site.

This is a 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons game. However, the characters are essentially Level 0 with NO class selection made. As the post you probably read stated this game will be "Heavy in Character Development."

I would be interested. The environment is intriguing. A half elf is of interest but I'm flexible.

Hi, I was directed to this page after I joined the site. Looking to get into more rping to improve as I've got very little experience with roleplaying and even less with 5th. I've gmed and played another game called Dungeon World where I played an elven wizard who looked 12 but was actually around 30 years old (Elves mature at 1/4 the rate of humans). In 5th ed, I played one session where I played a high elf Sorcerer because I liked the random element to the character and high elves were very rare in the world I was in due to some catastrophe. That group didn't meet again. I played a single session where I started off as a Thief 2/ Bard 1 Halfling. So as you can see, I tend to gravitate towards the spellcasting classes, so would probably play one of these in this game (Depending on how my character progresses from level 0). Assuming you'll have me, of course, *laugh*. I have no experience with Play By Post, so will most likely need help with some stuff.
