Time/Date: Every
Sunday at 7:00 PM CST. Starting Level:
Level 4 Howdy, my name is
Kira. A forever player with lots of experience under my belt who has recently
made the leap into Dming! I had recruited a group of players to join me onto my
first foray into a navigating a complex and ambitious narrative driven world, but
one of our players has found the day we've chosen to be hard with their
schedule. So, our group of 4 players are looking for a 5th to add to our party.
While the players have had a month and half of sessions to learn about the
world, they've found themselves in a web of dangerous unknown factions - each
full of NPCs with their own goals and interests and if you are the type of
player that loves to think and be challenged by mysteries and intrigue, you'll
fit right in with our cast. A large part of why I've started Dming is that I've
found myself feeling like I'm missing a part of the tabletop and roleplaying
experience that I desire and this post is searching for those who feel the same
way. My favorite stories
to read and my favorite stories to tell is about, to use a perhaps overused
quote, "the human heart in conflict with itself." I love an immersive
world that challenges me beyond the thrills of combat, and more than anything,
I love to tell epic stories. But a firm belief of mine is that you cannot have
an epic story without epic challenges and narratives that makes you not only
question your character's beliefs but also your own. I am a fan of the zero to hero mantra, but I
am of the belief that the process should not feels like an assumption and one
instead full of precarious pitfalls, damned temptations, and the most important
element of all - a choice against all the odds. I am looking for a player that
want to delve into a world drenched in mysteries where what you know and what
you don't can make or break your ambitions, that have a desire to carve a niche
of the world with your narrative choices, that have an enjoyment of lengthy and
intricate lore, and that have a will to overcome crippling challenges that come
with the path to greatness. Another quote that I like to use to describe this
campaign is also this, "If you only uphold your ideals when it's easy,
they're not worth having." This world rewards those who are actors, and
players who love the joy of unraveling a web of mystery to the point of
thinking about it outside of the game will be perfect for this world. For the more nitty
gritty details, while I will be using all official 5e material such as the PHB
and Xanathars, there will be a lot of homebrew elements that extend beyond the
scope of these materials. The world will feature a custom pantheon, a healthy
dose of superstitions, fantastical creatures of ages old and present, and many
NPCs with their own goals and ambitions. I do not strive for a 1:1 ratio of
realism to our own history, but I do strive for internal consistency of the
world that I have built. The game will mostly be theater of the mind, with a
few maps here and there, and lots of visual aid through images. There are a few
restriction on playable races. All PHB races are accepted, in addition, these
races can be played: firbolg, aasimar, genasi, and goblin. While all of these
races will retain their normal traits and stats, it is important to note that
because this is a homebrew world, their origin do not necessarily match up with
the Forgotten Realm lore and how they came to be can be utterly different. The
party is currently Level 4, and your character will be starting at this level.
I will be working with you extensively on your backstory as it not only has to
fit your character, but also be one that can be worked into the party. If you've made it
