[Signup - CLOSED] Mario D&D 5e Campaign

[AyyBee121]

The Mushroom Kingdom. A massive land of seemingly endless adventure. While few of its citizens have answered the call to explore, a brave few have answered the call. Will you be the next?

This is a campaign for Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition, loosely based on the Super Mario Bros. franchise created by Nintendo, with a more high fantasy twist, with a few urban fantasy elements.

Races and Such

Credit for the following document to Persephone/kingslime80.
While the stats below are accurtate and the descriptions are mostly accurate, take the artwork used with a grain of salt, as this is a more high fantasy take on the Mario world with urban fantasy elements. Also completely ignore the "Homo Nintendonus" subrace listed under "Human", as it is not canon to this campaign.

Rules

• The game will have about 6 slots to start. However, if more players wish to join, I may consider adding more.
  
• In order to sign up, you must use a Dungeons and Dragons 5e character sheet, which can be found here, under "fifth edition starter sheets". You can either link them on your signing up post, or DM them to me directly. Do not ask me to do your character sheet for you, I do not want to do all the work. I you do not know how to fill out a character sheet, there are plenty of tutorials online.
  
• Both canon characters and OCs are allowed. However, there are a few exceptions:
  • You cannot play as any major, main antagonists (with the exception of Wario and Waluigi). More minor antagonists, however, are allowed.
    
  • You cannot play as any character listed on the deities list, for obvious reasons.
    
  • If you use an OC that is not your own, please credit the original creator.
    
  • Only characters from Super Mario Bros and its spinoffs (Wario, Donkey Kong COuntry, Yoshi, etc.), or OCs based on these series, are allowed. Crossover characters (such as those from Super Smash Bros.) do not count, though I wil allow Mario-ified expies, so long as they are distinct enough from the originals.
    
• You must roll honestly. Any suspicious rolls, and I will consider banning you from the campaign.
  
• You may, by default, only use humans and the races listed in the link under "Races And Such" above (Mostly, see the rule below), and only use vanilla classes and backgrounds, which can also use the sub-classes listed under the same link, and if your character uses a deity from the "Deities" folder. If you wish to use homebrew or vanilla elements not listed above, please run it by me first and wait for my approval.
  
• Related to the above, use of the "Homo Nintendonus" sub-race of human, while it is listed in the document I linked, is strictly prohibited, as all humans in this campaign are regular humans.
  
• Be courteous and tolerant of other players. Refrain from doing anything that would make them uncomfortable or otherwise negatively affect their experience.
  
• Slightly related to the above, avoid "murder hobo" behavior.

I'm definitely considering signing up, as long as others also want to do so. I don't really feel like making a commitment if it's just going to go to waste.

On a related note, can we use this thread to discuss characters with each other? Just to make sure that we're not overlapping ideas too much, having a fair balance of skills, ect.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

woahh

yeah im def interested, this sounds cool

[AyyBee121]

Yeah, go right ahead.

[GoldenCityBird]

Alright! Thanks.

For my character, I've been considering either a rogue or a Death Domain cleric. Maybe a Life Domain cleric if we need a healer that much. As for race, it'll probably end up a Goomba, but I really don't mind too much. I'll see what I think of the situation tomorrow.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I might give this a chance, though I never played D&D before. Yeah, I know...

[MadameButterflyKnife]

hmmm...might do nimbusfolk fighter with the athlete subclass. that sounds like a cool char idea

[MadeOfMilk]

What if I did like

a rogue princess or some weird shit

[Florien]

I immediately know what my plan is.

How are we getting stats, is it point-buy, rolling, how many points/what dice?

Because I have a plan and it's going to end well probably.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

woahhh that sounds cool


anyways heres my (bad) idea: Con Sensation, a fighter using the Nimbusfolk race and Athlete subclass that were provided in the first post. they're from the sky cities and they've joined this adventuring party under the idea that it was a professional terrestrian baseball team

[MadeOfMilk]

I.... don't know where to go from here lol, gonna be a while

Plus I'll have to make a sheet which will be Hard(TM) because woo homebrew shit

[KungFuCutbug]

[shaking eyes emoji]

Bombastian, has your time come?? (they're a Bob-Omb detective wannabe, not sure what class they'd be but I'm thinking Diplomat subclass)

[MadeOfMilk]

What if my rogue princess was like, cherry-themed

ETA: Florien's French Revolution joke gave me an idea: She had her head chopped off, but survived and can now detach and reattach her head at will

[Florien]

Be ready... once I get the information on how stats are going to be generated that is... for The Dreaded Devon Ian Cycad, a guy who took the phrase "seize the day" too literally, and resultantly specialized in CRUSHING THE LIFE FROM THINGS WITH HIS BARE HANDS!!!

but like in a heroic way.

also he has other traits too.

[MadeOfMilk]

What's this? A quick mockup made in Heroforge? It's more likely than you think

[SmilyCube112]

Now THIS is something I'm actually willing to signup for! I'll just get my character sheet prepped (Or, as prepped as I can before my family (plus me) move to a different house this month).

[GoldenCityBird]

My character sheet is about as "done" as I can get it without knowing what level we'll be starting at and how we're doing stats.

[Dookie]

This looks awesome! I'll get a character ready by the end of today.

[KungFuCutbug]

I... have no idea how to fill out a character sheet since I usually just have D&D Beyond do it for me ._.;;

oh well, I'll figure it out

on that note, here's a doodle of the guy I wanna use—



—Bombastian! a bright teal Bob-Omb with wings (that he can't use) and a Sherlock Holmes complex (that he's not necessarily smart enough to use but he's damn near clever enough to get away with it)

[SmilyCube112]

Now THAT looks good, CutBug! I might as well get some artwork made of my character for this then (When I can, that is).

[AyyBee121]

I immediately know what my plan is.

How are we getting stats, is it point-buy, rolling, how many points/what dice?

Because I have a plan and it's going to end well probably.

I'm doing stats by rolling, by rolling 4 6 sided dice, drop the lowest roll, like it's described in the Player's Handbook.

Also, just to make sure, which of you are for sure signing up? You can drop out later if you'd like, especially since it hasn't really started yet.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

im signing up

[AyyBee121]

My character sheet is about as "done" as I can get it without knowing what level we'll be starting at and how we're doing stats.

I wrote above what type of stats we're using, and your characters will start at level 1.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

updated Con Sensation ref

[SmilyCube112]

I will def be signing up - It's just my free time is becoming nonexistant right now with my parents being awfully insistent on me helping pack stuff up to move into storage for when we move houses. I'll work on my character sheet (and character ref) when I can, so just go ahead and reserve a slot for me pls?
