Hi Duncan ! Here is a little about my game . New players can join and I will make you a basic zero stat level character to play for today so you can try out the game. This game system is a pre-gunpowder pirate adventure with some limited magic mixed with fantasy creatures and fantasy races trying to use and take from your people. My goal is a story like the Odyssey by Homer. You may play as any human race like the Vikings, Romans, Greeks, Celts, Eygptians, Samurai, Huns, Mayans and Native Americans. Firewinds of the Seas is NOT D&D or PATHFINDER, but is much easier to learn and play . When you play your first game you will be a red shirt, you will get a low stat character and get to play today, it will not be a 4 hour "zero secession" then you never play. So if you Join today you will play today! If you dont die you get to keep your loot and weapons and xp points and make a character when the rest of the party is not waiting on you. I understand you will be new to the game and system I will not leave you in the cold and I will help you learn it. I do three types of games. The first type of game is a string of one shots with new players where you just go out and follow a limited story line and kill things, these often do not effect the main story line but you get to keep the XP and the loot your earn. The second type I call legacy games with my experienced "royalty" players where they follow a story line which has more role play, red shirts play a more supporting role in this game and red shirts need to help and follow the royalty crew. The legacy games play 3-4 times a week whenever my royalty crew is all available to play, usually 8-9pm MST (GMT-6) but it is ok if non-royalty members cant make it to every game. If you are not available for every session, you may play when you can it is no big deal. The third type of game I run is private games for groups of friends with your own story line, if you have a group of 3 or more I will run a special game for you and your friends and no other players if you wish. The idea is this game system is simple to play and create a character quickly and not limit your character to a certain set of class or race abilities like D&D or pathfinder. This is a fighting and warrior game. If you want to be a super powerful egotistical maniac wizard who wants to point a wand at a big creature and have it fall dead, go jolly yourself to Harry Potter cause this game is not for you. The magic/religion skill in this game system can help you deal with situations and make your weapon attack rolls a little better and give you a little protection from attacks and a small amount of healing. These powers come from your god or deity and give you an edge against the odds but are not a game breaking weapon that make you a God yourself. Everyone can do healing but if you do it wrong you can end up hurting the ones you are trying to help, especially if you dont have a lot of skill in it. All dice rolls are done online so there is no cheating including my rolls. This is an open world game and there will be lots of bad guys to kill so please no murder hobos, be a hero. Normally I play a sci-fi version of this game and I have run about 300+ games with players of all ages including groups of 6th graders so I am pretty good at herding cats and welcoming new players and helping them with the rules. There will not be a lot of frills , no dynamic lighting and such which seems to cause even more problems with the pathetic roll20 platform. I also draw and scan a lot of black and white illustrations and often just white board my games so you have to use your imagination a lot and I will try to use as much original art as possible. Here is my link to discord FirewindsOfTheSuns#2162 . IF you want to play, jump in and ask for help starting a character! I use lots of bad words so 18+, but I do censor out a lot of Sexual conduct and and will cut to too scenes like tv does. REQUIREMENTS You must have discord audio (video preferred but not required) but I am on camera. You can view and/or print the free character sheet and character generation sheets, game system rules here ---> firewinds of the seas .com , but you dont really need to . I also play a space-western version of this game and I animated one of my games on youtube search for "firewinds of the suns" check it out if you want to see my GMing style. Or you can just ask for more info on Discord!
