Announcing: RPDM's Souls in Chaos Campaign

RPDM is getting back into the DMing biz!

I’m currently building a D&D4E campaign titled Souls in Chaos, set in a modified Nentir Vale / Chaos Scar hybrid realm. The campaign is currently scheduled to start on 1 March 2014. Along with the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition New Player Course (D&D4E NPC), this will be the second D&D project I’ll be initiating next year.

Also, much like the D&D4E NPC, I’m putting the LFP call out here on my blog. I’m looking for four (4) players interested in a long-term commitment to the campaign. Following are the details I have in place so far. NOTE: details are subject to change.

Campaign: Souls in Chaos

Ruleset: D&D4E, with DM adaptations and improvisations.
