that arthur campaign sounds badass. back when I was getting my medieval studies degree I took a few courses on arthurian myth. the chretien de troyes stories were super good. I've always wanted to look at birthright and do a similar campaign.

Yeah I've always been obsessed with Sub Romano so getting to play that point is fun. Plus I'm secretly teaching them history. Plus everyone being a Paladin is absolute banter

Neither its in person with some friends. But when the country was in lockdown we used Discord

Your character sounds interesting. I’m old school so I’m not familiar with the “Reborn” race. Are you interested in the fragment map I Posted? It’s just a very basic foray into D&D. A small dungeon to get people into the game and see how we can work together. Nothing over a level 5 monster. With plenty of story and loot for the survivors.

Reborn is very new, like a few months ago new. It's a lot of fun though.

This map look well planned. Is this the area you would like to use for a campaign?

I am already DMing it with my DnD group yes. First session was last Sunday 

So I've just started my own short campaign, first time DM'ing. It's based around the Sub Romano Brytonnic kingdoms as they dealt with the Anglo Saxon threat. So King Arthur basically but more historical than mythological. His name is not mentioned so they don't realise till the end.

The entire city is made up of only Paladins (with a few permitted multi classes - no rogues). All players are Paladins with multiclasses. They group into Knights and their squires and each knight is the Lord of a separate kingdom with their own revealable back story, some of which they know some of which is revealed by interaction with NPCs. 

The campaign starts with a grand jousting match (which I built mechanics for), whose end is interrupted by an invasion of barbarians (Anglo saxons). The players must beat off the invasion, then travel through a hazardous terrain filled with monsters beyond the city to track down the Kings kidnapped daughter, resulting in a massive battle at the end with many high level players. 

The whole campaign has a secret honour system based on your actions which dictates how big your reward is as to how much you hold to Paladin morals. There are also secret abandoned places where you can gain a personal level up based on how you get in there. Ie if you break down the door you gain a level of barbarian, if you lockpick you gain a level of Rogue. That kind of thing. 

The city etc and some of the mechanics are my own creation based on the history. I even have a Merlin character who skulks in the shadows making sure players don't do anything too mischievous.

I'm looking at learning how to use D&D Beyond to create a game. Early days yet. 🦊

I've just started a short campaign I wrote based on a location set in the DnD 5e universe but outside of the normal realms so I could use my own places. I used DnD Beyond as a place to build characters and my campaign but I only use it for characters not for playing the campaign

Wizard always. My favorite school is evocation. Love to be the Glass Cannon and the use of the spell "Familiar".

And you? What do you play?

Sorry haven't really been on here. In the campaign we're playing I basically am a Wood Elf Rogue/Warlock. Who was brought back from the dead and is now the race "Reborn" with Phantom Rogue and Undying as my Warlock Archetype. Basically I've created an elf version  of Constantine from DC. 

Who plays, what do you currently play as?

So what was everyones old vf users? Are you using the same one. I was redpaintblast and obviously still using the same.
