Hello everyone and welcome! Sorry if this is all off to a bit of a rough start, I’m still new to DMing on this site and am currently trying to figure out some of the technical side of things as we go.

Since we received a big influx of players today, I figure this thread will just be a nice spot to introduce yourselves, get to know everyone, and just generally get comfortable with the group who will be inhabiting Tideswallow for the foreseeable future!

Additionally, before I forget again, here’s a link to a DnDBeyond campaign page for Tideswallow. It’s incomplete atm, but I should have it fixed up by some point tomorrow. Feel free to use this and the character creator there if its any easier. https://ddb.ac/campaigns/join/1387177812673588

Yeah. There tends to be a high demand for D&D 5e games since they don't tend to come along except in bursts. The starting at 3rd probably helped too since I know a LOT of people tend to prefer that. Heck I might be remembering wrong but I think even Critical Role offscreens the first two levels.

That being said welcome all. I am still making my character. Pondering an Artificer or Bard, but if there's anything lacking in our supply of people I can fill in.

Greetings everyone!  I'm looking forward to exploring the city with you.  I'll be portraying Leena, the owner of a small-but-growing brothel in the Entertainment district called The Golden Fleece.

Oh, and she might be able to get things for you too.  Nothing too exotic right now...her business is still in growth mode.  But things...

Bartimaeus Gianakos, lay brother of the Cult of Oghma, Lord of Knowledge: may his blessings be upon you.

Tideswallow is a cosmopolitan place and the roots of the city run deep; it's those roots that years of prayer and meditation has directed my mind towards and I've only just arrived in port. I'm not certain what I will find, or really even what I'm looking for, but the suspicions of a cosmic Truth planted during my novitiate took root and keep me up at night.



Mechanically I'm playing a Pact of the Tome Warlock who has prioritized Int-skills and ritual spells. As for combat, well... I suppose you can try to fight unspeakable cosmic horrors, but you'll only die tired.

Oh, competition. I was also going with brothel owner. Although, I may go a different route if there's already someone.

Yeah, I thought it was interesting both of you ended up going with brothel owner at almost the same moment earlier. If youd like, you could run partnered or competing establishments in the Entertainment District, or one of you could take the Entertainment District while the other takes The Roe. It’s a much rougher part of town, so it would really benefit from an owner who actually cares about their workers, rather than someone whose just using them as tools to make money.

The Roe could fit with my character, actually. She's a street urchin prostitute turned owner after getting rid of her cruel boss.

Let me think for a bit.

Hello!  I'm a newbie to town, just strolled in with my cousin, Zander.  We've been traveling about since leaving a merc company, hoping to find a nice place to perhaps settle down and find some gainful employment.  I'm rather used to the seedier parts of town from a bad childhood as an urchin filching scraps of food.

So, going with celestial warlock in the Roe running a brothel and taking care of her people with compassion toward them and an iron fist for those who harm them.
