Hello! My Name is Amiti (She/her), I have been running long term campaigns for around 17 years now. I and my group are currently searching for a compatible fifth to join in our great journey, the campaign itself is 2 years in (though I won't detail it out in this post, that would take far to long). I am quite excited to meet each and every one of you, and possibly find a good fit for my world and it's stories! But first a few things of importance: 1:  If you are looking for a DnD'esque experience, with planned out railroads, an emphasis on gamey'ness and numbers, and constant random encounters dotted across the game state, then I will say this may not be the best fit for you.  2:  The Tone of this setting shifts, it's not just Grim or bright or good versus evil. Instead it tends to be that things are far more grey, nuanced, and complicated. Things may sometimes feel hopeless, grim, implacable, but then the tone can shift and become bright, wholesome, and full of beautiful moments. Expect a constantly shifting tone that fits the current events in game. 3:  The system takes getting used to. This is a D100 system based on creating very fast paced gameplay, I won't fully go over the details in this post, but this tends to lend the game a very fast motion to rolling, actions, and combat. Combat tends to be fast, gritty, and incredibly dangerous. Modifiers are given on a character basis, and there is no defined "class system", instead your character is his/her own person, with complex driving narratives, a moral compass, and a unique perspective and personality you craft over the course of play. There is no such thing as "rolling" to persuade, seduce, or deceive, instead these actions must be roleplayed out using your cleverness to succeed. 4:  The players have known each other for many many years. This is an established group of 10+ years of experience playing together, and in this system. I post this because sometimes it can be a deal breaker for some, but I want to assure you I will take great amounts of effort, care, and love in crafting your story, and your character into the narratives being spun. I don't sideline players, put certain PC's on pedestals, or create narrative flows that heavily favor one player over another. There is no favoritism in these games, I am here to create an experience all players can attach to and enjoy readily.  5:  My campaigns do not take a heavy emphasis on combat, violence does occur and when it does it can be fast, brutal, and lead to PC's being wounded, scarred, or even dead. Violence is an aspect of all worlds, it encompasses important events, shifts the flow of narrative, drawing new borders on the map and making Kings and Queens overnight, but it is only one aspect of a much greater whole. Learning to find ways to avoid, overcome, or even subvert violence through words and actions is just as important as putting your sword to it's dread purpose in taking a life. 6:  The setting is low magic, with an emphasis on a spirituality of belief, mysticism, and uncertainty as to what is "real". There are many religions, faiths, creeds, and spiritual communities, each with their own vast sets of beliefs on Deity worship, creation, and divine mandate. Many of them overlap, correlate, or contradict each other, some are branches of older faiths. As for the level of technology, it really depends on location. Some cultures have pulled them selves out of the dark ages, building resplendent cities and temples, whereas some civilizations have yet to mature and find there footing. But in general this is an early Medieval setting in most accounts.  I know that the above statements may seem pretty niche, and that's because they are. But I want to ensure players that decide to take part in these sometimes many year long campaigns are a good fit, and are having fun in the environment the world space creates. I want ensure that you, the player, are truly enjoying yourself and are immersed in what I have to offer, there is a heavy emphasis on communication and I will always do my very best to accommodate your needs whenever possible!  As for what I am offering, currently I am running one group Campaign on Sundays at 1pm PST, the game length can range from 2 to 6 hours but averages around 4. REQUIREMENTS: 1:  We play on role20, using discord for voice. We use Watch2Gether for music/Ambience. 2 : A good microphone or headset, no phone discord users for game time. The Setting is a world I have developed for over 17 years, it encompasses full continents, real climates, geographically accurate terrain and weather. and Fluent languages.  Their are many rich, narratively enticing cultures settled across the known reaches of this world. Each as nuanced and deep as what you may find our own world, to this effect I have written many pieces of world lore, short books, full religious texts, and created cosmologies that fit each nation of people. This world however is not stagnant, or a world of hats, things change, borders are redrawn, people and cultures shifting and changing over time. And you the player have the agency to create the story you desire in this world, from playing a lowly crop farmer who has become a leader of a resistance against tyranny, to playing the haughty son of a local wine merchant whose down on his luck, the stories and driven narratives are endless in their possibilities.  IMPORTANT.  Roleplaying is a space for everyone, politics, hateful ideologies, and actual bigotry are not acceptable. My group accepts anyone, we have LGBTQ (we will respect pronouns, period), left, right, and center players, we create a space where anyone can thrive and enjoy the immersion the game provides, Roleplaying is a place for everyone to come together to enjoy a small respite away from the sometimes draining and stressful nature of our world. We will discuss consent, possible things that may trigger or distress you, and create a environment which is enjoyable and takes account of your needs. Well that's all I have to say in this post, if this interests or intrigues you, please do not hesitate to Message me directly for my discord info! I'm excited to meet and talk to potential players, talk to you soon. <3 FORMATTING FOR APPLICATION!: Pronouns: Previous TTRPG experience: What spoke to you in this post?: What are you looking for:  Are you looking for a conversation / dialogue heavy game: Least Favorite character Archetypes!:
