Hawthorne Guild Server Information Player Guidelines We are a D&D 5e Discord server offering a persistent game world set in the Forgotten Realms and broader D&D multiverse. You and others play as adventurers of the Hawthorne Guild, an adventuring guild in the Sword Coast. With over 9,000 sessions ran over the course of 8 years, you and other players can dive in to determine the next chapter of your character's story and the guild's story. Play How You Want As a player, you can expect to - Play any number of characters starting at level 3 or level 5 (your choice) - Create characters using almost all of the official options as well as select UA and server homebrew - Create and play either 2014 or 2024 characters - Progress your character through game sessions to experience content from level 3 to level 20 - Participate in downtime activities and text roleplay between adventures DM How You Want As a DM, you can expect to - Run games for any level of play and your choice of either 2014 or 2024 games - Participate in a shared setting of the Forgotten Realms and broader D&D multiverse by running your choice of oneshots, multisessions or campaigns, or Play-By-Post games - Use almost all official monsters and magic items to use and award in your games, as well as server homebrew - Gain DM rewards to progress a character at the same rate as a player, so you don't miss out on any of the fun when you play games as well We're recruiting both players and DMs, with new members able to become a DM immediately as well. We have a helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable base of Staff, players, and DMs with years of D&D experience and are welcoming to D&D players both veteran and new. We have multiple ongoing server events, including an opt-in server event related to the Death Curse of Tomb of Annihilation, an ongoing server storyline with a villainous faction known as the Dread Empire seeking to conquer the Sword Coast (with an accompanying Youtube cutscene), as well as a new event involving a coalition from the reaches of Wildspace seeking to make a new spelljamming port in the guild city! Finally, our annual winter event is into its eighth week and features a fun Secret Santa bonus this year! Join us today: https://discord.gg/hawthorneguild
