quote:
Beware All Who Enter
These Benighted Halls of Stone
Within Lies No Solace
Nor Any Comforts of Home
Toiling For Our Crimes
We Must Dig Where We Dwell
With No Freedom or Mercy
In Our Vast Stony Hell.
-Inscription over the entrance of Stonehell Dungeon
More than a hundred years have passed since the liberation of Stonehell, but in that time the prison has not rested easily. Like a festering wound, Stonehell will not heal or grow quiescent. During these decades, the site has been used as a hideout for countless bands of bandits and brigands. It has served as the laboratory for wizards who needed solitude to conduct their bizarre experiments. Practitioners of grim religions have sought sanctuary within its night-haunted halls to avoid the prying eyes of the forces of light. Roving bands of orcs, goblins, and other fierce humanoids have found shelter and respite within Stonehell's chambers, their numbers swelling with the passage of time.
The years have done little to quell the rumors as to what lies within the crumbling prison. Tales of cannibal kingdoms inhabited by pale-skinned ghouls who've carved a fortune of jewels from the earth compete with yarns about obscene magical experiments that stalk the corridors below. Bands of fearless adventurers regularly plumb the depths of the former prison. Those who return do so laden with riches won from that which still malingers within, but many do not return at all.

OSR Style D&D using the 5e ruleset modified slightly, for more accessibility:

I'm looking for 3-5 players who enjoy writing and roleplaying in a gritty, realistic setting. Combat heavy with focus on survival (especially early on), but with plenty of room for roleplay.
I'm looking for more "traditional/typical" races and classes (i.e. human, elf, dwarf, fighter, rogue, cleric etc.) to create a rounded party. Characters will begin at level 1.
Barring unforeseen RL circumstances, the post rate of this game should be once every 24-48 hours.
Knowledge of DnD 5e is not required to join. In your request to join please include:
1) Desired character name/race/class. Do not submit a character sheet.
2) Tell me if you've played Stonehell before & your level of 5e experience
3) Most importantly, a writing sample, preferably from a game you have played in, to see if our writing styles fit. A few sentences is probably enough.
Looking forward to scouring the depths with you :)
