System: Mortality (A 5e conversion written by me)
Date/Time: TBD based on player availability
Timezone: I'm currently GMT+1 (I live in the UK so we fluctuate between GMT and GMT+1)
Available Spots: 5
Preferred Player Experience: A good grasp on 5e is recommended here but it's not required. Only thing you really need is an eagerness to learn.
Preferred Player Age: I don't DM for anyone below the age of 18.
Description: Step foot into the frozen expanse of Tobov, a world enduring a second ice age with an unknown cause. Oceans have frozen over and those who didn't make it to a dwarven stronghold quickly perished to either the cold or the pirates the roam the surface on sailsleighs, skimming across the ice in search of prey.

Where do you come into this? Well, a marriage of convenience of course!

Clan Stonepride has hired you to protect their caravan from Helmfirth to Windrip and will pay 10 gold pieces each with bonuses for extra pelts acquired along the way - hardly an offer to turn down.

"Good luck travellers, and may Moradin be with you. I can feel a chill as powerful as Thrym's breath abrewin'..."
"Oh shut it Hordren, you'll scare the newbloods before they've even chilled their toes! We'll be fine yung'uns, don't you worry. Old Thalram's got ya covered."
[Last conversation before leaving Helmfirth, a large dwarven town built in a hill.]

5e conversion? to what degree

crude ember
#

Armour and Weapons overhauled
New spells and added mechanics to spellcasting
Complete overhaul of skills and proficiency
Complete overhaul of hit points and injuries

Changed class mechanics
Changed racial mechanics (usually for more QoL)
Changed lighting mechanics
Changed resting mechanics

#

So in short, a lot

#

If you want to know the degree of changes, I've had to make an entirely new character sheet to track things

So, spellcasting now is accompanied by spell burnout which can affect you negatively, there are new spells and there are some wording changes and changes to some spells to buff/nerf accordingly.

As for skills, there are 84 skills and proficiency bonus is now proficiency rank which is tracked per skill as opposed to being a general number.

For instance, someone who is rank 5 in arcana gets a +10 bonus to those checks
But they could have rank 3 in search and thus get a +6 bonus to search checks.

Gaining ranks is done by spending character points that are gained when you level up or achieve goals in game

That sounds

#

Extremely complicated

#

It's a lot easier once I explain it via voice with a sheet infront of you

Hi I might be interested in this if you would have me

#

As for things like the changes is there a pdf or something similar to look at for all the info?

crude ember
#

Not anything that'd give it all in a concise way

#

I've got a document that more serves as a reference book for where the rules came from, but otherwise it's mostly in like 15 different places.

I've got a central document that I'm adding to rn but honestly it's probably better for me to talk to you about the changes in a voice call

terse elk
#

Oh yeah that sounds fine, how many players do you have so far/when would you like to meet and talk about it?

crude ember
#

Currently still going through applications. We've got 15 applicants so far

#

As for when I'm free to meet and talk about it, I'd be good in about 15-20 minutes if you're able to excuse the fact that I'm minorly slurring words at times rn from lack of sleep

terse elk
#

Ah nah too late for me at the moment haha, it's nearly 3am here

#

however, if you have an application for me to fill out, I'd definitely be willing to do so tomorrow
