<blockquote>"For Every Law and Rule that is Obeyed...there is a reward. For every law transgressed there is a punishment. Blessings and punishments may not come about immediately, but they occur eventually." - [[The Law of Consequence]]</blockquote>'''Into the Greedy Green''' was Quelmar's 3rd community D&D campaign (following [[Towson Tabletop]] in 2014 and [[Ancients Alive]] in 2018) that ran from January 2022 (with a December Pilot session), officially ending in April 2023.

The campaign took in over 100 players for 14 months, and stopped taking new players on March 31st, 2023, followed by a month of finales, and a string of one-shots and other pick-up games considered "The PostGame". 

== About ==
It has been 30 years since '''[[The Sundown]]''', and the realm finds itself once again facing endless waves of Dragons, who have all been long released from their prison island of '''[[Kiston]]'''. While the realm as a whole struggles to come together to face its new common enemy, smaller towns, hamlets, and cities now face a pandemic of robberies.

After centuries of having nothing good to horde, Dragons everywhere begin again---building hordes of treasures, weapons, materials, gems, books, and all other manner of collectibles.

And in this new world, only those brave enough to call themselves '''Heroes''' are willing to track down the dens all over [[Isonhound]] and recover this loot, as they head....into the Greedy Green.

== [[Into the Greedy Green/Player Factions|Player Factions]] ==
As part of the community Metagame[[Metagame (Campaign)|,]] players naturally form alliances, guilds, and factions with other players, especially if those players find themselves at the same table frequently. Factions tend to have more than 5 players to them, and the largest are listed on the PC table above. Player factions are strictly for social purposes, and many players enjoy the campaign just as much by remaining unaligned. 

== Downtime and Offscreen Projects ==
The '''Greedy Green''' Campaign offers anywhere between 4 and 8 sessions every month, but we only aim to get each player to '''1 game per month'''. That can be a lot of downtime between session. While we do say that each session takes place after the last, there is no set timeline exactly when each session might occur in the world. As such, the only measurement of time in the campaign is done '''''by the month'''''. All sessions held in January took place in Month 1, while all sessions that took place in August took place in Month 8. Because we track time ONLY by the month, it slightly changes how Downtime and other projects are approached between games. 

* Players may work on '''one''' project a month, with the minimal pay-off occurring on the '''first day of the next month'''. 
* Multi-Month projects, such as artificing new items, researching, training, etc. can be expedited if multiple players work together on the same project.
* Options for Downtime can be found in the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hEgRCjDMx_NYkYvIaJa4qmOCs4qI1048Bds-Karx9uc/edit?usp=sharing Xanathar's Guide to Everything downtime rules]. Any downtime that takes less than a month should be done multiple times to fill up the entire 30 days worth of time. 
* Other options can be created but only with the permission and collaboration of a Greedy DM. 

== House Rules ==
A few variant rules are in place in this campaign, mostly to make it easier and more approachable for those in the community with less D&D experience:

* All directions of movement, including diagonals, '''are 5 feet'''.
* Taking a critical hit while making life saves is '''1 automatic fail''', not 2. 
* '''Ammunition and Carrying Capacity are not tracked'''. Though it may be determined on a case by case basis if you are carrying too much of something.
* It's assumed '''players buy components''' for spells at towns between sessions. Very expensive components (like diamonds) are still tracked and necessary.
* An inspiration point can be used to "'''De-Inspire'''" an enemy's check, save, or attack.
*Allies and Enemies in a line of fire do '''not''' provide half-cover (unless they actively choose to provide cover for someone else)
* The '''Flanking''' variant rule is in play, allowing players to get advantage if they attack an enemy from two opposing sides.
*Players can cast 2 spells on their turn as long as one is a bonus action, and is ''not'' limited to Cantrip actions only.
*Drinking a Dragon's blood grants 1 minute of "Speak with Animals"

== MegaGames ==
Unlike previous Community Campaigns, Greedy Green was defined by it's mega games, which featured multiple DMs and tables running at the same time. MegaGames for Into the Greedy Green included:

* Summer August MegaGame
** A fundraiser for [https://quelmarcon.com QuelmarCon] featuring 17 players and 3 tables in one location.
* [[Into the Greedy Green/MegaGame FAQs|'''January MegaGame''']]
** A one year anniversary event, featuring over 25 players and 5 tables across 5 separate locations in town.
** See FAQ page for more info as this was the most logistically complex and required it's own breakdown of rules and such.
* [[Into the Greedy Green/Finale FAQs|Finale April MegaGame]]
** Featuring over 30 players and 5 tables in one location.
** Served as the final documented session of the campaign, marking the full transition into the [[Within the Wicked Wilds|Wicked Wilds]] successor campaign.
