LFG ROLL20 : The World of Ohr: Runeland | Our Campaign Website: <a href="Http://www.worldofohr.com" rel="nofollow">Http://www.worldofohr.com</a> | Our Discord: [ Discord link snipped ] SETTING INFORMATION: You are a member of the Ash Walkers , not so much an organization as it is a profession these days. Ohr is dying a slow death, nights grow longer and colder and the prying eyes of the things from beyond the veil are slowly finding their way to the surface of our world. Menos, the Sefirot and divine being of men sought to usurp the other gods after Hastur's defeat. He failed and as a result of that failure, the greatest human nation to ever flourish was destroyed. The gods have left the world and now only ashen skies, freezing nights, and blood-curdling screams of the dead and dying are here to remind us of our ancestor's failures and hubris. Now as one of the Ash Walkers, you are tasked with entering the Old Empire to find ancient relics and arcane knowledge long thought lost. It is here that you will find the secrets to salvation, you must look to the past to save our future. The city that spans thousands of miles hides too many secrets to count. Abandoned ruins, strongholds of inhuman power, foul temples now filled with cultists of dark gods, degenerate and cannibalistic tribes of men and an underbelly ruled by alien monstrosities. The Ash Walkers seek bold men and women to join them. You will be defined by your ambitions and you must be wary of the challenges ahead of you, but you can never falter. This is your one and only chance to make a name for yourself. --------------------------------------------- THE WORLD OF OHR: A small portion of the living campaign world. The world map will be much larger with rules for traveling, gathering and managing supplies while on the road and random encounters based on the roll of a die. Link to our world map: The World of Ohr OOC INFORMATION: What are we looking for? Dungeon Masters old and new who'd like to participate in world-building, you're welcome to run games in this setting and because of the vague nature of the timeline and the history you're basically free to do what you'd like. Keep in mind that there is a 'DM' guide in the works for this setting, a short document that details the dos and don'ts of Ohr. We're also looking for players who'd like to join us! New, old, returning , it doesn't matter to us. Come in and give us a shot maybe you'll enjoy yourself. Grab a beer some snacks and let's kill some monsters and explore the world. What is a Living Campaign? You could compare a living campaign world to today's MMORPGs, even when you're not logged in the world continues to move forward with or without you. Quests and story-lines can be completed throughout the week and it's very much a drop-in and drop-out experience. We're going to be playing as often as we can and the story-line will move forward regardless of who's there and who isn't. We also have a number of 'metagame' resources located on our website we use to encourage our players to contribute to the world building and development of their characters. We use achievements that reward prestige points (experience), new abilities, crafting systems, property ownership and more. Player choice is key to making this work. Your choices will matter and will have a lasting impact on the game world and the story-line as we move forward. What times & days do you play? Games will be starting on November 7th. We are based on the CST/USA timezone. We will be playing on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Players also have a chance to help create the schedule based on their needs and play times. Once we have more active game masters we plan on hosting games every single day. Besides that, we aren't just sitting around and waiting to do nothing. We are doing weekly world building prompts where players can help shape the world by creating new creatures, towns, areas, etc for XP bonuses and extra starting gold. You're okay with a number of house rules that expand on the game that is already there, many of them making the game much more difficult. You want a sandbox role-playing game where you choose a hex on the map and drop down ready to explore. You're okay with change. We're often adding in new class archetypes, races, maps, lore and other information! Sometimes this means your character might see retroactive changes to abilities or scores. We're always balancing/tweaking our game! The world doesn't adhere to 'levels'; you may very well be adventuring into territory where a powerful troll has made his home, just because you're level 1 doesn't mean he's going to scale to you so that he's a proper challenge. It's up to the players to decide when they want to run. You're okay with guns and sorcery and a lot of Gothic horror in your games. You're okay with dying while playing the game. Combat is deadly. You're okay with new class archetypes and races, with a number of the original races removed/re-skinned for the game's setting. If you want to help us create the world while we play, the timeline and historical events of this setting are left intentionally vague. I'm looking for the players to help take part in this settings creation as we play. If you're okay with using VOICE chat - we use Discord. You're an adult who is okay with crude language being used at the gaming table and a little bit of OOC banter while we play. You're looking for a fun, non-serious gaming experience where the rule of cool is king. If you feel that role-playing your character, exploring the world, figuring out mysteries and seeking out lost treasures and knowledge is just as fun as fighting. If you LOVE detailed and gruesome combat descriptions and gore. Meta-Game, and I'm not talking about using knowledge outside of the game to further your goals within. I'm talking about features like 'Inspiration' that has no other point of being in the game other than because it's a fun mechanic and a way to reward the players for playing their characters well. We've went a step further and have created a number of achievements, land ownership, and a few other systems that you're welcome to take part in but it's totally fine if you don't. You're looking for a 100% genuine 5e experience set in the Forgotten Realms. You're a rules lawyer or you read through the monster manual while we play. "That goblin shouldn't have a bow!" You're looking for a hardcore role-play experience where everybody is in character 100% of the time with little OOC banter. You can't use voice or you aren't willing to use voice. Typing is FINE, but only if you're able to speak as well. If you've actually read these that's good, when you respond please post 'silverstrand' before your post to be acknowledged. If you don't like the idea of being able to shoot a goblin in the face with a flintlock pistol. If you're playing a character who is evil or more interested in their own goals than that of the parties, it's okay to be the renegade outsider but not if it means your goal is back-stab or kill the party in the process.
