EDIT- I still have one slot open and will be accepting applications until weds the 10th evening. Hello, this might take a moment. I am preparing a campaign that will tentatively begin Sunday Nov 14 at 1pm - 5pm PST and consecutively every Sundays in 3 on 1 off system. The
campaign will take place in a homebrew world that I have been playing
off and on for 30+years. While the world is homebrew, it is still a
fantasy world and not littered with unique concepts that make it
unrecognizable. There are a few house rules, which are mostly beneficial
to the players, and very minor changes to races due to lore but they
are not extensive. The campaign will focus on heroic
roleplaying / character development and not the 'big bad'. There will be
combat, puzzles and other challenges but they will not be drive the
campaign. I try to provide challenges for players to ovecome at least
once every other session. It should be noted that the game will deal
with violence, sex,
horror and other taboo topics but they will be handled in a PG/PG-13
manner. Character creation will be a point buy/array and will be
limited to official sources (including Tasha's) with some minor changes to race/class due to world lore. Most official races are represented. We will use discord for voice and Roll20 for gameplay. Just a quick description of the world: Roughly
1200 years ago, the only civilized nations on the
continent of Vihrea were the Dwarves who resided in the mountains and
the Underealm, the Elves who lived in the forests and the cat people of
the Tabaxi and Leonin, collectivly know as the Ihmiset, who roamed the
plains. For time immeasurable they lived in peace, only challenged by
the fierce orcs and goblins. Gnomes, Halflings and other races were also present but
they did not have a nation to call their own and instead lived within
the other communities. The humans arrived and the inevitable war changed everything. When
the dust settled the continent was littered with ruins of old
cities, magically scared landscapes, haunted castles, abandoned keeps
and a land that was divided among the nations. The Elves controlled the
north west rain forest region called the Brightwood Kingdom. The Dwarves
remained in control of the Underrealm and the central Stonescar
mountain
range. The Humans carved out the southern region for the Goindon
Empire. The cat people who had almost been driven to extinction
retreated to the southern island of Asada.
The Orcs and Goblins, along with the Trolls and Ogres, collectively
known as the Greenbloods due to the high copper content of their blood,
had a firm hold over the Drotoam Desert in the north eastern region of
Vihrea. 800 years have past and the new King of Goindon is desperately trying to mend the wounds of old. A few things that I am looking for in potential players are: 1-
The world has a specific lore that I expect players embrace when
creating their characters. This means I discourage players from having a
predesigned character that they try to force fit. To be clear, I do not require players to be intimately familiar with the lore, just that it be a consideration in character creation. 2- Committed
players are obviously most desired. If you are not going to be
respectful of the time and effort the Dm and other players invest by at
least showing up regularly (I understand that RL sometimes interferes)
then please do not apply. 3- D&D is an ensemble experience. I
want players who both engage in the game as well as not steal other
players chances to shine. 4- I absolutely require a fleshed out
backstory with enough room for me to create personal storylines. I will
always make time to help with this process if needed. 5- The game
will have a fun atmosphere but it is also one grounded in plausibility.
Silly characters or one dimensional joke characters just will not fit. 6-
I am looking for mature roleplayers of at least 20 years old. I do not
want to have to censor language or content of myself or the players. 7-
In the ultimate act of irony, intolerance will not be tolerated. This
is not just limited to issues of racism, politics, religion or sexual
identity. It also means uncomfortable or invasive roleplaying. In
case you do not understand, having your character at constant odds with
the other characters or trying to engage in romantic roleplaying without
consent are examples of this. These issues will be dealt with quickly
and, in most cases, harshly. If this interests you please reply
here with any questions and applications. I will respond with a direct message to the applications. Once
you apply I would like to set up an interview where we can both
determine if we are a fit and go from there. This is not just for my
sake but for the players as well. It does no good if you find the game
is not one you would enjoy after playing a session or two. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.
