Hey lovely people, I’m looking for one or two people to join our campaign. Sadly one of our players has to leave due to work, and as much as we know we can’t replace her, we’re hoping to invite someone new into our friendly group of misfit adventurers! We’ve been playing for over a year now and have 2 inter-linked campaigns as well as a couple of one-shots which further explore the lore of this world. We’re a RP focused group, but still have combat, puzzles and of course the occasional dungeon! So….the campaigns… currently, we’re (across the 2 campaigns) 3x guys (American, Swedish, British) 3x girls (all Canadian) overall there is a lovcraftian, steampunk, fantasy vibe mixed with mystery and intrigue! Strange Times (Wednesdays 8pm Paris time) - the story takes place on the continent of Xoran, a once great nation ruled by kings who worked alongside the Xinto (old religion), however, tired of the magic attacks, and restrictions put upon them, the people rose up and the empire was born. The empire purged the Xinto religion and restricted the use of magic to only those in the imperial academy. Time passed, and the empire grew stronger until ‘the great storm’ a cataclysmic event which destroyed the modern world. Our campaign takes place 300 years after this event (2251) where the world has returned to simpler times; caravan trade, small towns and a reemergence of magic. However, the empire never died and still seek to regain their former power, but it isn’t only the empire which is too be feared, since the event, monstrous creatures had began to emerge. The only place in Xoran which provides ‘safety’ is ‘phantom city’ a dense metropolis owned by the Empire. - The party were sent to look for a man by the name of Tomas Olson by their mentors (members of a secret agency). During their search they found out that the Empire, although preparing to go to war with a different continent, also seemed to be looking for arcane artifacts whilst increasing their control. - as their journey continued, they learnt of another group called ‘the horde’ who are seeking to revive the undead champion of the lord of shadows. - whilst traveling they learnt more about the war of the gods, and how the shadow lord was defeated by the dragon ‘sol’. - now the party are currently heading south in search for one of the player’s cousins who had left her tribe. Note: I build individual stories for each player, and as much as there is an overall storyline, there is no one straight path to follow. I create the sessions week by week based on what the party has done and what is currently happening in the world. Iron and Rust (sundays 8pm Paris time) one month after the start of Strange Times, just as summer began, a bridge between worlds was created. Now, the party find themselves on a strange new world where the surface world is covered in scorching hot deserts of rust, and the subterranean lands are home to endless forests. In 1920, the empire found a gateway to this world and began to explore it, however, the magic users they brought with them quickly turned mad, and now the world is divided. Archmages fight for control of the surface, but deep below the lands of rust, a new evil begins to stir. - the party found themselves transported to this world and began to search for a way home. However, doing so wasn’t so simple. - now, alongside Oz (a small native Gecko boy) they search through the under-rust, but have just discovered that the agency (from Strange times) May know more than they admit, and that Tomas Olson, was responsible for many world changing events. Note: Iron and Rust plays alongside Strange Times, and each campaign affects the other. Also, 2 of the Wednesday players also play in the Sunday campaign (with another popping in time to time) it’s hard to sum up everything in a short easy to read message, so if there’s any other info you’d like then feel free to let me know =)
