Let the Bloodbath continue! - Match 4 Recruitment

- Edit: RECRUITMENT IS NOW CLOSED! EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT, AND THE COUNTDOWN TO DEATH HAS BEGUN! -

Alright you scurvy-ridden dogs! It appears that bloodshed of FTDM is slowing down, AND THAT MUST NOT HAPPEN! I hereby decree that recruitment for Match 4 of FTDM is officially open!

For this event, we'll be playing on a brand-new, never seen map! At least we were going to, until those tricksy Archfey decided to partake in some holiday mischief, so instead we'll be playing on E6M1: Internecion In The Feywild!

The Unseelie Fey have demanded the sacrifice of 8 brave (or cowardly, they aren't picky) dungeoneers (2 teams of 4)! The match will begin one week after I receive 8 entries, and teams will be assigned randomly, unless you specifically request to be placed on a team with another dungeoneer.

As per usual, the match will end after 12 rounds, switching to a new map at the end of round 6. But what will the new map be? The first team that garners the favor of the Baba Yaga while in the Feywild will choose the map for the second half of the match! How does one gain the Baba Yaga's favor? Well telling would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? If neither team manages to gain her favor, the map will be determined randomly by the DM.

For those of you new to FTDM, make sure you read the character creation rules, and if you have questions be sure to peruse the FAQ page or reach out to me.

If you're brave enough to risk life and limb to the bizarre machinations of the Fey Courts, send me an email to register for the match. Once we have 8 dungeoneers, I'll send out an email to each dungeoneer, letting you know which team you're on and putting you in touch with your new teammates.

Good luck, and good hunting/slaughtering/maiming/decimating!

edit - Just to clarify, if more than 8 players are interested, preference will go to newbies, and I'll chose randomly among the experienced dungeoneers for the remaining slots.

  1. That map is CRAZY; it effectively renders any kind of team strategizing moot... Sign me up!

  2. Quick note: I added in a comment that lets people know that preference will go to new players.

    Also, some of the Court of Stars features of the map will be excluded (Little Red & Memory Swap, for example) since they don't work as well on a PbP game. I'll outline the exact changes when team emails are sent out.

  6. I admit it - I'm addicted. But put me way last, 'cause I wanna run E5M1 as soon as E5M2 is done.
