About the DM Hello, my name is Justin. I am 28. I have been playing D&D for around 5 years, introduced through Critical Role. I have run 2 long term games on Roll20. One currently at level 25 (4 years long now) in 5E using epic character book from DMsguild and one currently at 15. I have also played as a PC but I enjoy DMing more. I enjoy games with a good mix of both roleplaying and combat Experienced DM I have run several paid games and one-shots on Roll20, I know the interface and am patient with helping teach others. Love bringing new players into the game. In the game I have been running for 4 years aside from holidays I have personally missed 4 sessions. And my year and a half campaign I have missed 2. I'm almost always available on Discord for lore, rules, story ideas, or just to talk dnd. Payment Policy The price is $10 per session for 3 hours or longer. The first session is good to feel out how things go for both parties so it is free. If you do not pay for a long enough time I will ask you to leave the game. Paypal is the only acceptable payment form. No refunds. And as a response on why I run paid games. it helps me keep up with current content, it incentivizes myself and all of the players to try their best and get there and on time. and many other reasons I think its better to a certain extent. feel free to ask more on why. What to expect from the campaign This is a homebrew world. I plan to bring it to level 20. As I have done this once before and doing it again currently. I have 1 player from my other paid game joining. So you can talk to them too for their thoughts. This campaign will be inspired by some Asian mythology(not anime specifically) fused with European mythology’s New players are more than welcome. A challenging setting, that will use some variant and homebrew rules. every character will start off with a magic item we make together that will evolve every 5 levels if hidden criteria is met. Sessions will average 3 hours in length. The campaign has no set time length as depending on how you proceed through the game could last a long time. About the Game time, campaign setting, and variant rules and my expectations. Games will be every Thursday probably starting with session 1 on the 19th if we have the people. from 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. anyone that can speak English and make the games are welcome. Flanking is on, many homebrew monsters and abilities, Rule of Cool too a "restrained" extent, and some other minor variants. Most published materials are allowed. with the exception being Necro Wizard and Shep Druid. Milestone level up Point buy On a player's real-life birthday I will give them a crit coin that will allow them to make any 1 roll a nat 1 or nat 20. On Real-life holidays, I will give the party 1 "Fate Coin" i can go into it with more detail if you decide to join. Reroll 1s on health rolls. After every session, the players will privately vote on another player to receive inspiration for the next game. based on combat or RP, up to your discretion. Every PC must have at least 2 connections with other PCs minor or big. the game will start at level 3. Common etiquette is a must. No kind of real-life bigotry is accepted at all. Must have discord and a working mic If you are constantly late or miss I will contemplate removing you from the game unless good reason is given. Some games may start a bit later or end a bit later ~5 min.. the schedule is not a hard schedule. If for any reason a game ends early I will tack on extra time to other games. A short intro into the world Commonly known history ??? , A giant crack appeared in down the center of the continent. The land was once a lustrous area filled to the brim with many cities and magic was more abundant, other than that not much else is known prior to the divide. Far distant past - 50,000 years or more. Little is known about the grand cloud world from before the divide. There are many rumors regarding the creation of the now known world. A fight between the fae, devils, and celestials were held on this continent. A mighty fight between two ancient beasts that altered the geography of the landscape. Or two master arcanists experimenting on the land. Distant past - 10,000 years the barbaric tribes that once ruled started to form a more cohesive government. The first were the people from the green region. The second was the people from the Moon region, and finally the people from the Sun region. Throughout the ages, many different forms of government were tried and used in all of the places. Somewhat recent - ~500 years ago, a small patch of expanding land appeared in the opposite areas, creating a small biome of the desert in the snow or snow in the desert. Some believe that they are going to naturally swap places, some think its an issue with magical ley lines, divine intervention from the Sun and Moon to reconcile the people. It remains a great mystery. Current history - War is still and always looming between the people of the Moon and Sun regions. While the powerful green region is remaining passive but stalwart that neither side may invade the other while going through their territory. This has brought many people to seek the sea which has led to many discoveries. There is a giant archipelago to the southeast. To the southwest, a sundered city lies floating in the ocean. Strange sounds can be heard, odd shapes can be seen moving from far away with the use of divination or looking glass. But the place is impervious to divination and any who get too close are lost for an unknown reason. To the northeast, the other half of the collapsed city can be found sunken to the bottom of the ocean at the base of the tallest mountain ever recorded with what appears to be a little less than half still stretching above the clouds. A group of water-based people appeared and have proceeded to conduct trade with all three continents remaining neutral. (Tritons, Mermaids, Sirens, Elementals). Things of note: Fire Magic is limited in the Frozen tundra landscape. Cold or water-based magic is limited in the desert landscape. The jungle landscape is unaffected by either and it is unknown why. even inches away from the desert or frozen tundra. The gods have long been forgotten all that is left is their stories and statues, so they are all referred to by "Titles" <a href="https://imgur.com/a/x04hiYG" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/x04hiYG</a> a link to a picture of the continental map, that is well distributed throughout the continent. Opening Quest to get an idea of the story. The party has arrived at the Jungle city of Besmathis, due to a request from a notable merchant to figure our or hunt down a strange "four-legged horned beast". The merchant has a decent reputation in the juggernaut of a merchant organization known as the "Longing Traveler" that deals with Meats and Mounts. There are many strange beasts in the forest that have been altered by the magics that seep in from the north and south. And they are used to make special pills, meats that can grant minor magical benefits, be turned into mounts, or sold off as parts. Though with all of this hype the city lords son has gained interest and has vocally claimed that the mysterious creature is his! The merchant is offering a base reward of 25g, along with Horses for each party member. With up to 120gp additional for each person dependent on the outcome and stealth of the job.
