I'm looking for a group of 4 players that are interested in playing
fully original characters, stories, and settings that are not dependent
on commercial source material. Players must have an earnest interest in
creative writing and role play. I am developing my own ttrpg game system
that allows a lot of freedom for you to define your own character with
few limitations. Players will come together to decide on a genre (high
fantasy or sci-fi) and will create their own fully original characters,
weapons, skills, abilities, etc. as well as one location each (city or
town) that ties their characters into the setting. I will interpret your
creations through the machinery of my system (based on point buying)
and we'll finalize the details together. Since the system is still in
development, the rules will be a little fluid and imperfect - but I hope
to refine them over time and strive to accommodate your fantasy.
Mature game. No Romance or 'adult only' themes.
The resolution mechanics are based on a d20 die and a handful of
other simple mechanics that are intended to balance narrative freedom
with meaningful planning and tactical decision making. I don't generate
images or text with AI (but you may use it for your character portrait),
and I'm not a gifted artist, so visuals will be a mishmash of online
images, and simplified sketches. Do not use AI to write your posts. Once
we have the characters and basic locations and plot set, I will build a
world suitable for the story to develop and create the details and
conditions that set your characters on their way. No silly characters
(although a little humor is welcome).
I'm still figuring out how to best set up the game, but we'll
probably play through discord with roll20 battle maps. I ask that you
keep your expectations low and show me some patience, because my
schedule is hectic and doesn't leave me the time I wish I had to play
TTRPGs, write, world build, and all the cool things I wish to escape
into. All of the brainstorming and development involved in homebrew
games is daunting and exhausting, but I'm craving something I can't find
anywhere else. I expect you to be respectful and decent people, and I
have little tolerance for interpersonal drama. You will be ejected from
the game and your contributions will be erased from the world if you are
habitually offensive. I am running this game for free on my spare time,
after all. Treat it as a fun little side project you can interact with
at your pace. I don't expect much commitment, but please help keep the
flow of the game for your fellow players.
I am not LGBTQ.
This post will be updated as I conceive new details. Please message
me with questions or concerns, and join up if only to show your
interest. I want to know if anybody even wants to play something like
this. I hope to write memorable stories with all of you.
