Best Of

As awesome as remote would be, I'm pretty set on making this an in-person event at the house. Having skype/laptops/remoteness piped in really changes the tabletop dynamic.

I did four years of amazing remote D&D over Skype and FantasyGrounds. It was awesome, but I don't see any practical or good way that the two can mix.

Sorry!

So who wants to play D&D in Detroit?

@Sazbean, @primesuspect and I are putting together a monthly game at the Icrontic house and you are invited!

Here are the details

Who's DM? - Me. I've been DMing for Wizards of the Coast as an official Adventure League organizer since the 5th Edition came out two years ago. I have DMed at midwest game conventions for WoTC to packed crowds and even won an award for the game I ran. I currently have 3 ongoing campaigns for friends, so one more won't kill me (maybe)

Sorry, um, who are you again? - Yeah, I'm kinda a lurker. I was introduced to Icrontic through my wife @Sazbean last year. I'm not much of a video gamer, so this is my way of trying to fit into the group I've been to the last two Expos and had a great time, so you may have met me there.

System/Setting/Etc - So this would be a D&D 5th Ed game in the Forgotten Realms using my own written adventures. The campaign will be a 1940's pulp adventure style ala the Indiana Jones trilogy; lots of globe trotting, ancient ruins with traps and treasure, and over-the-top action scenes.

When & Where - @primesuspect was kind enough to offer up the house. @Sazbean and I both work downtown so that works well. I'll say one Friday a month as the when and we can see who all is interested and can make that time.

Who & How many - So honestly, if you have never played D&D but want to try, this is my favorite player. I love teaching the game and have done so for many others over the years. I have run tables of up to 12 players a night (exhausting) because I never turn anyone away who wants to play. I have run for teenagers but its a very different kind of game than adults, so we'll have to see.
