DM-ing on the Server

## Interested in becoming a One Shot-DM? Perhaps a Lore-Master?

We are always looking for more Dungeon Masters. One Shot-DM's are managed by administrator ActuallyGod#2778; if you're interested in joining the team send him a message through discord. Within this message make sure to mention your experience with being both a player and DM, familiarity with the rules, and anything else of note. Don't let this deter you from being a DM if you have no prior experience! There will be a trainee program to get anyone new to being a dungeon master or using Roll20 caught up to the team’s standards.

Dungeon Masters are also Lore Masters. The DMs have created the world you see here today and have the option to run bounties that can affect the world in a dramatic way. Becoming a DM also means you have the power to contribute to the ever-growing world of Orlanthea, and playing NPC's in role-play chats. If you're interested in affecting the lore, message administrators Lore#8696 or Kittigamer#8002. Within this message include any prior experience with world-building, and current ideas or contributions you had in mind, and anything else you may bring to the team. Dungeon Masters' also have the ability to run solo one shots for players that are purely for either role-play purposes or backstory/character development.

## Bounty Postings and Rewards

When setting up a bounty, it's important to remember that because of the way West Marches style D&D is that occasionally you may have drop outs or no-shows due to life wanting to do life things and that can get in the way of scheduled fun time. In this case, you may @ the ranks of those that you wanted to have in your session. And remember to delete your posting after bounty completion and rewards have been given out. Below is the template for postings and a chart for after bounty rewards.

### **One-Shot Listing Template**

@Rank | Genre 1 / Genre 2 / Genre 3 | Type of Bounty (Text/Play by Post or VC)

Difficulty ★★☆☆☆ may also indicate Easy, Medium, etc ( Also, please indicate whether the bounty is Deadly or not)

Hook - "*Hey! I am a bounty! Please join, I am desperate for players!*"

**Rewards** - Rank gold + whatever else found or given during

Date | Time + Timezone / / / Estimated Length

### **Rewards For Each Rank**

The item reward may be an item from our Shoppes or you may choose to create your own custom rewards. These rewards can be both for flavor and for mechanical benefit. When creating them, custom items must be equal to the character's level at the time of rewarding- so no giving a Copper or Silver ranked character a +3 item. If it does something outrageous or is overtly powerful, it must need to require attunement for use, and lastly must be vetted and approved by Lore#8696, Tec#8131, and ActuallyGod#2778.

Note: These boys tend to be forgetful, so be sure to not only dm each of them a copy of the custom rewards but to periodically remind them if not given an answer within a week of completing the bounty.

## DM Reward System

For a compensation for DM-ing and participating on the server, both DMs and players can be rewarded with a special server currency called *Divinity Shards*. These *Shards* may be traded in for certain benefits that can boost your character's stats, pockets or abilities or even bribe a DM to run you a bounty where you're on the VIP list for entry (or you're the main character). Below is the chart for earning and redeeming *Shards*.

If you were to run a bounty via text or PBP (Play by Post), the maximum number of rewarded credits is 5 regardless of how long the bounty ran for.

 Writing A Mission Report
 Writing an article on the wiki(must have substantial information i.e more than a paragraph)
 Writing a bounty review and giving feedback
 Mentor Salary
 Clap doing their Avrae maintenance

 Active player bonus(The start of every month)

 Attribute Point\*
 Epic Maneuver or Boon
 Rank Gold(gp)
 Respec potion
 Haste Or Heroism potion
 Resurrection Sickness Cure
 Bribe To DMs for bounties\*\*

\*After you roll stats for a character, you can increase a single ability score (Choose one stat after rolling. You can increase it up to an 18 for 15 per point with the caveat of that it can’t increase your stats above 95, can’t touch any other in the array)

\*\*The DM *obviously* cannot take a bribe then not run the bounty. Bribed shards can not be redeemed before the completion of the bounty and if the bounty is not ran within a month(30 days) of bribing, the bribed shards are then refunded to the player.
