This is a Bi-Weekly game for mature (18+) players only, which charges $20 USD via paypal per session.&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/15415433/paradise-lost" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/15415433/paradise-lost</a> &nbsp; Paradise Lost is a **NSFW** game with themes of romance, adventure, and story building in a gritty fantasy world filled with injustice and danger. Depending on your choices you may be swallowed up and subjugated, becoming another dirty face in a countless sea of others taken advantage of and downtrodden on by the city.. Or you may rise above and enact change, plying your skills in the political arena for the good of the people. Sex and violence are central themes, and though you are not required to sleep with anyone or kill anyone, you should expect that you will be immersed in a world where both will be an integral part of what occurs around you and are part of how the world operates.&nbsp; ---------------------------------------- It has been twenty long years since an heir has set foot in upon the stone floor of the Castle Valstoris, and around it lay the ever sprawling urbanwork of the city of Cor'Kardia. A capitol whose incredible size and wealth has made it the richest and most powerful city in the nation of Iverstern. Or, such was its position in the past. With the passing of the old king and disputes between relatives over who should sit upon the throne, the acting Regent for reasons unknown surrendered much of the throne's power to the city's nobility and its affluent. Almost over night, Cor'Kardia became an oligarchy run city-state ruled by the rich, the noble blooded, and the otherwise powerful members of society.&nbsp; Overtime, the Kingdom of Iverstern became merely the Land of Iverstern, and those families who once held claim to the throne have split their respective territories into independent provinces. What once was a shining kingdom of prosperity has since fallen into a mad scramble for power and gold.&nbsp; This city is carved up under the leadership of many. Vampire nobility ruling from the night. A league of dragons masquerading as the rich and powerful. Liches influencing politics with their foul magics. Gangs of beastmen and green skins which rule their streets with bloody maws. There are few places in Cor'Kardia where corruption has not tainted every brick of the streets you will walk, and while death is in high supply, trust is a commodity few are able to find. This city has a lot of names etched into its cultural zeitgeist, both hero and villain.. How you live, and perhaps more importantly how you die, will determine if you get to count yourself among them.&nbsp; Somewhere in the Silk Quarter, full of trade and commerce, where the very poor and the very rich meet, a new brothel has opened. The Snapdragon is run by the mysterious and alluring Matriarch Tarra. Though small, it has generated much buzz about town for the exquisite nature of its workers, and for its reputed ties to the underworld. Whispers abound both as warning not to cross the woman, as well as of what the future may hold for the establishment, and what it means for those who work or live near by.&nbsp; For reasons only you can decide, you have been employed by the Snapdragon. Be it as a worker, guard, or some other role, one thing is certain.. The Matriarch has plans for you. That much is clear. As you and a few select others have been hand picked by her to mount a rescue operation for a girl lost. The Snapdragon's nearest rival, a brothel known as "The Black Glass," is a front for slave trafficking where in certain practices which break anti-cruelty laws are part of what they uniquely offer their clientele. Torture, death, even live cannibalism, if the rumors are true then nothing is too vile or foul to offer for those depraved and rich enough to visit. The Matriarch had dispatched one of her girls to infiltrate as a new hire and discover exactly what they are up to in order to help bring them down. Unfortunately, contact has been lost, and it is feared she may have been discovered and conveniently placed in with the brothel's doomed slave stock.&nbsp; It is up to you and your team to prove yourselves to your new employer that you can be relied upon to get jobs done, to infiltrate The Black Glass however your team sees fit, and to find and rescue the lost girl.. And bring down the establishment itself if it can be helped. Prove yourselves and complete your mission and a whole new world of opportunities will open up for you in this shining city of dreams and nightmares alike.&nbsp; -------------------------- To help with voice work and general management, I have brought in a co-DM, she will handle RPing all female NPC's, and will be treated with the same respect as I am at all times. The game takes place both in voice and in text. Adult material will largely be kept to text, though there is no guarantee that voice play will remain PG.

Every NPC token you encounter has a name, a backstory, and will remember their interactions with you.&nbsp; Catered music. Thrilling combat music, moody songs to set the theme during infiltration missions, and a song for every tavern you hit up.&nbsp; Animated maps and bosses.

Over 15 groups, ranging from the League of Wyrms to the centaur Thunderhoof Mercenaries, hold sway either with money, political power, or brute force through out the city. From gangs to political movers and shakers, the city's various sectors which constant conflicts between these groups, and how things play out depends on how you interact with them. Do you join them, thwart them, use them for your own financial gain as merc or consort? It's up to you. Just be sure to watch your step, there's danger in even the most brightly lit corners of this fallen paradise.&nbsp; -------------------------- **IMPORTANT** **To join this game, you MUST provide proof of age.** **IMPORTANT** -------------------------- The CHARACTER BUILD RULES are as such: All first party choices as far as race, class, feats, and anything else are allowed, with out exception. Gunslinger is unlocked. Point Buy as per the player handbook.&nbsp; One free feat at first level.&nbsp; It should be noted that while any alignment is allowed, The Black Glass and those who are associated with it will function as your primary antagonist at least at the start. It is highly recommended &nbsp;that you create a character who is offended by, disgusted by, or otherwise finds such dark and vile acts unacceptable. Characters who lean towards that sort of disturbing behavior, who find themselves leaving the party to partake in such, will find their sheets forfeit to the DMs. Though we offer a sandbox world, it is expected that the team make an effort to align their goals rather than split up. It is up to you as a group to talk it out as adults and figure out where it is you'd like to take things.
