Note: Hey everyone! You might have seen this post already... don't worry, you're not having deja vu! Unfortunately we had a player drop out due to a schedule change, so I'm reopening applications to find a replacement. If you already applied, no need to apply again; I'm going to review the current applications to see if I missed anyone! Alderia. A sanctuary world hidden away from the horrors of the cosmos. This peaceful world has been shattered before. Time and time again, catastrophe has struck Alderia. The Reign of the Crystal King, which saw the world brought to its knees by a single man. The Sundered War, where three corrupted divines ravaged the earth. The Night of Blasphemy, when mortal men usurped the gods. Yet through it all, the world healed. A new catastrophe, a new epoch; the cycle continues. It is the dawn of the Seventh Epoch. A century of peace and prosperity has ruled over the once tumultuous world. Magic and artificery flourish, propelling the world into a new golden age. Yet in the distance, fell omens echo the horrors of the past. War in the human kingdoms of Vendos. An arcane plague ravages the jungles of Ji'ra'ji. Strange, otherworldly creatures stalk the elven lands of Selakar. And a bloodred comet streaks across the night sky. The cycle begins anew. _ Hey everyone! My name is Chris and I’m a new DM looking to run my first full campaign! The world of Alderia is a homebrew setting I’ve been working on for several months now, with a rich history, lots of custom character options such as races and backgrounds, and tons of interesting locations to explore! Alderia is a high magic, high artificery setting that takes inspiration from a variety of sources, most notably the Elder Scrolls, the Dragon Prince, Arcane, World of Warcraft, Eberron, and random things I thought would be cool. The campaign will lean towards an open-world sandbox, with a defined overarching plot that will react to player decisions. WHO : We're looking for one player ! My ideal player is one who immerses themself in their characters and the world, enjoys telling a good and fulfilling story, and can role play with the other players to bring out the best in everyone. WHAT : I’m looking to run a pretty heavy story-based game, with a large focus on player backstories and the lore of Alderia. However, game mechanics are also important to me, so there will be plenty of dungeons, puzzles, social encounters, and, of course, combat! Characters will be made after Session 0 (or at least after some lore documents are shared). It’s important for me that characters fit in with the world, so I’d love to work together with you to help them find their place in Alderia! WHERE : We’ll be playing online, on Roll20 for now. We might switch to Discord or Foundry depending on how things go with the audio and video. Speaking of which, decent audio and video are required! WHEN : The current schedule is every other Sunday, 7 - 11 PM EST . Sessions will probably be 3 - 4 hours long. I’ve found consistency is the key to long and consistent campaigns, so we will play the same time every other week, and will still play if we’re missing one player. HOW : I’ve created a Google form (linked below) that will serve as the application; please fill it out so I know who you are, what kind of player you are, and how to contact you! Since we're already partially underway, this will be a fast track application process; I plan to contact people within a few days, with a video chat to follow so I can get a sense of how well you'll fit the party. APPLY HERE : <a href="https://forms.gle/UN9h6ksmrvsTva5J6" rel="nofollow">https://forms.gle/UN9h6ksmrvsTva5J6</a> Thanks for reading - please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you in the world of Alderia!
