Ghoulish greetings and grave time zones potential adventurer! DISCLAIMER: This campaign has no set start date, no decided day of play and no decided time of play yet. The reason for this is, I like to take my time selecting a table. This helps ensure I have a great group of like minded folk enjoying the time spent, and I prefer to weave characters into the world I've built which can take time. I understand this might be a deal breaker, but if you're still interested please read ahead for more info! About the DM My name's Ghoulie, I go by she/they pronouns, and I've spent about 19 of my 34 years on this planet playing some form of roleplaying game. Two of my biggest passions in life are story building and voice acting, which I've been told definitely show in my D&D craft. My style of DMing is a bit chaotic to some, but I just like to let the table's imagination govern the gameplay more than anything. I adhere to the "rule of cool" more times than not, and highly  encourage players to create a character based on roleplay over "min/maxing". I've got more homebrew bookmarked than a witch in October, so let's get weird. About the Campaign The world itself is expansive, but still maintains a noticeable diversity in both scenery and culture. While a lot of mechanics are based on the familiar Forgotten Realms such as monsters and magic items, I've built my lore from the ground up including the planet, pantheon, planes and plenty more. I've also implemented various rule changes from the RAW 5e mechanics, such as character creation, changing the length of short/long rests, whether temporary hit points stack and the great debate on why my ally can't scooch over in that 5' square. You must be over the age of 18  to play in this campaign, I'm sorry young adventurers, but it's a must. This game is definitely beginner friendly in terms of willingness and patience to teach, but it's not really a campaign that's meant to be easy or railroad you often. About the World History states, that the planet was quite literally crafted from the death of a celestial titan. The seasons we see each year were primordial manifestations from the titan's blood, flesh and dying breath. Those manifestations then birthed the age of creation, where humanoids rose from the divine ooze. First of civilization was pure and righteous, fighting back the beasts that came before, surviving through the dark nights. Wars and crusades were waged,  and perhaps it was these acts of violence that beckoned the unclaimed one, who brought death to their lands. However, the world post ashes also brought technology, and with it a wildfire of controversy. This world was built by gods, shaped by magics both divine and arcane, there was no need for such inventions. Not to mention, the volatile behavior observed between mechanical and magical. Most notably, the decimation of an entire region known to have been located on an arcane ley line, exploded into a dome of amber when the railroad expanded. In current times, technology continues to evolve despite the dwindling protests against it, even coming as far as launching the very first space ship... About the Process I don't like giving away too much about the lore, so I hope the vague synopsis was enough to grab your interest, and if it did please feel free to contact me for more information! Preferably through private message, that way I can send you a "sneak peak" at the player document which also covers content warning, character creation and rule changes. THANKS!

Hello Ghoulie, Im Vander, 39 he/him. Reading what you wrote so far I loved the focus of heavy lore and heavy roleplay, it sounds like the kind of game one could get lost in for hours both in the world and in their char just exploring and rping. Id love to hear more about your game if possible, thank you. My discord is vandernars

Howdy all, I'm Rich P (he/him). I'm interested in your campaign. I like the strong RP element as it's something that's been light at my table for a couple of years now.  I do a lot of GMing, but I rarely get to be play. I already have a character concept in mind that I would be happy to throw your way if you still have room at your virtual table I'm not quite as old as dirt - 55, but I am still in control of most of my cognitive functions. My discord handle is tiny5663.

Hi Ghoulie! I’m Antares, she/they, 31. You have a really tasty conflict just in the trailer (so to speak), and I’d love to talk about it more if you have room. I’ve played DnD for a few years, and have many more years’ experience in other tabletop systems. You can reach me on discord at magyr.

Hello Ghoulie. My name is William, (he/him) 20. This campaign sounds very interesting and I would like to join if you have room. I've played D&D for a few years at this point and just finished playing a Pathfinder campaign. I would like to join, my discord name is KTripleNine.
Hi there, I'm Matt. I'm 29 and have been playing for just over 6 years with 5E now. Pending a review of the various changed rules, I'm definitely interested. I may not be able to play depending on the day/time chosen, but still interested. My discord is thewelcomematt.

Heya! I'm Lynn (he/him, 19). I was enticed by how much effort you put into this post, and how you sound like an extremely wonderful and skillful DM! Even though I see a lot of players already clamoring to join you, I'd still like to shoot my shot and offer to be the reserve in case someone turns out to not be able to participate (because of scheduling issues or smth) ^^' my discord is lynntune

Temporarily closing this post! Thank you to everyone that has "applied" to this post. I have contacted a great group of people and am proceeding to more in-depth "interviewing" at this point. If for whatever reason I am not able to fill the party with the chosen candidates I will reopen this post to anyone that may still be interested.

Casey, 33, he/him, and late to the party it seems lol. I'll throw myself onto the waiting list in case anyone drops. Either way, everyone enjoy the game, it sounds sweet.

This is big sad since I am just coming across this now, but just like Casey above me, I too shall leave some interest in the event you ever need another body to push around (:D) BTW I am Derp, 30, He/They.
Archer, 28, he/him; disappointed I'm only finding this now, because it seems really interesting and I'm in need of a group. Anyway, like Casey and Derp, I'll leave my interest in case someone falls through, hope things work out!
Hi I'm Ally, 23 she/her. This campaign sounds amazing, you're very talented. I'd also like to be considered if a space opens up. Just a heads up: I am very new to DnD and have never played before, but I'm really interested to learn. (I also understand if I am to green for your game.)
Hi Ghoulie, this one's name is Tremble (36).  Tremble sees that the group is probably already full, but would like to throw his only hat in the ring.  You know this is a serious matter because I like that hat and it is now dusty and in the ring.  Tremble thinks himself a novice/intermediate player, whom enjoys the playing and talking and thinking and sometimes even the hitting.  If by the grace of Murphy, you require another, Tremble hopes that Ghoulie picks Tremble.
