#1 Kelsfar May 01, 2013 3:30:05	Hello, I am Kelsfar, a.k.a. Spellfizzle and am looking to start a new campaign that I will be hosting as DM, below I will state first a local group I am looking to recruit and if I do not get the feedback to start one locally I will start one via Online. I will break it down into two sections finished with my introduction, creds, campaign information etc.. and everything else information wise needed to join and play, so if you are local or within the U.S. and are interested in an either a local or online campaign then read on as I will go into further details below. -Local Group: Local group, I am looking for is within the Virginia Beach area, I will host as DM at my house located in Virginia Beach not very far off the interstate unless a player has a better meeting point to carry out the game where everyone can meet. Virginia Beach is not a must to live in order to join, you could live in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk or Portsmouth etc.. As long as you are able to arrive at the designated time each week, early show up is better and required (30 minutes) to unwind and prep for session. Timeslot will be fridays every week either afternoons or night dependent on what the majority players deem best and sessions will last around 4-5 hours leaning more on 5 hours game time. This is to be a WEEKLY campaign sessions will be every Friday! -Online Group: Online group, incase I cannot muster up a local group I will do it online. The requirements for a online campaign are similiar to above with  few exceptions and I will re-discuss requirements as well.  Sessions Will be held online every friday during afternoon or night hours. It will be up to the majority to set a exact timeslot in which we will play. You must be a U.S. resident in order to play, I am partially ok with Canadian players so long as your able to make session times. This is nothing against Euro's or other countries but the play time is crucial for everyone showing up and having a good head on there shoulders. My last online campaign took part with mostly Euro players and it was difficult for them to stay up so late and would tend to fall asleep towards the end of each session or dropping before it was over, regardless of what was going on. So Online campaign I am looking for folks that can meet up every Friday during afternoon to night hours, I am pretty flexable over all timeslot's for Friday sessions.  I will provide everything needed to play online if I recruit 4-8 players including the tools needed to play online all FREE!  -Now about me: I have been DMing D&D for about 22 years and have DM'd and played many different settings of D&D such as Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Planescape and other various games like Pathfinder and Shadow Run. I am a 34 year old male thats resides in Virginia Beach, Va. and love D&D, playing  and DMing. I also have had the pleasure of being a developer on persitant worlds in video games like Neverwinter 1 and 2, I last left off with a Neverwinter 2 PW known as Sea of Dragons seaofdragons.com ,there I was the developer as well as the lead world developer that took  place in the Forgotten Realms setting. I am HUGE Forgotten Realms Fan and I base all my campaigns within the setting, I tend to use Ravenloft, Greyhawk and Dragonlance to be pulled into the overall scheme of things through time travel, portals, or other phenomena's to add richer flavor to my campaigns. I am also a big fan of 1st-through-3.5 edition D&D. Sorry but I will not use 4th ed. ruleset or lore in any of my campaigns including the one I am recruiting for.  -What will the campaign be based off of you ask? Well we will use the 3.5 edition D&D ruleset and the campaign will be based in the Forgotten Realms setting prior to the Time of Troubles (ToT) using basically 2nd edition lore but with 3.5 ruleset. The starting location will be based once again on the majority of the group and what region everyone favors to start at and I will design the campaign to evolve from that region within Faerun. You do not need to be a veteran to play, and I encourage even first time players of D&D to join, my only requirements are that you are of the age of 18 years old, willing to dedicate yourself to the session each Friday as much as possible (I will have house rules set to allow for folks to miss a couple sessions due to life being sucky that they cannot attend, which will grant partial xp even though you were not able to make it, after 2 sessions you will lose all xp gained from that session and every session after). I am a story teller of all things, I like to suck everyone into the game through my weaving of plots, schemes, adventures, and other various things that draw you into your PC. As a DM I like to personally encourage each PC to develope his own personality, goals and agendas and I build the campaign around all the players with a main goal in the horizon, the main goal will be clouded with many small and off coarse goals. My style od DMing is all about the players and developing there characters, from start to finish. The world is for you to carve out! Sadly in this day of age it is hard to trust anyone on the internet or even in your own city, and therefore I am going to provide my email to gather all interested folks, be it for either the Local or Online campaign. I will after being contacted by you send you to my Skype to talk and get to better know you and to make sure you are right for joining the group. I will do this with everyone interested in joing, at the end all that I approve to join we will meet officially on skype for group chat to get to know eachother before going any further. This will allow everyone to feel comfortable with the others before deciding to commit to the campaign. Any questions please feel free to contact me at my email, I check it daily and will get back to you asap about any questions or concerns! I am looking foward to gathering  a good group of players, not experienced players but just fun, easy going folks looking to play some D&D and have a blast!
