About us The virus has caused a few issues with our last game, so me (DM) and two other players have decided to start fresh with new players. This is a long-term game, so do not waste your time or our time that is not what you are looking for. If you don't intend to commit to the game even after the virus is gone, please don't bother either - filling players mid game kinda sucks for everyone. We also would like players who invest themselves in the game rather than just sit back and let things flow. Awkward silences are the worst! Combats tend to be harder than your average game, so if you're the type to give up easily or throw insults at the GM for "trying to cause a party wipe", this won't be a good fit. If you are easily offended, this won't be a good fit either; the players in the game have been playing with me for a year or more, so we like to tease each other. Also, I'm a terrible person, but I still want everyone to have a good time. When people have fun, it motivates me to create content and make games entertaining. The World of Midgard The age of heroes is dead, and the bridge to glory is broken— Bifrost fell long ago. The world is lost in an age of war, of dark wilderness and lost empires sunk beneath the waves. Only magic and the warmth of hope keeps lights aglow when dread things prowl and the priestly wardings shake, bent by hideous demonic rage. In this dark time, new heroes must arise to claim the crowns of Midgard, and restore the jewels to her scattered thrones. New heroes must lead a return to glory! The campaign will be held in the Midgard setting by Kobold Press with homebrew modifications to the politics and magic set in the world. New races Midgard is home to various races that aren't available in a normal d&d 5e game set in the forgotten realms setting. This is your chance to explore the kingdoms as a centaur , or perhaps a trollkin or even a ravenfolk ! This new world lets your pick one of the following new races amongst all the others published by WOTC (with my approval): - Alseid - Centaur - Dragonkin - Ghoul - Kobold - Minotaur - Ravenfolk - Shadow fey - Trollkin A new system based on reputation The Midgard setting also introduces a new optional rule which we will be using in this campaign: the status rule. Your actions have consequences and are reflected on your status number which helps to determine your reputation and your influence in certain areas. The Midgard world is very vast and each of the seven kingdoms have a different view on status. A certain city may have fought through slavery and have had all the nobles thrown out and as a result, those who are more wealthy will be frown upon or even kept from entering the city. In other places, such as in the Northlands, honor means everything . Rules Most rules are RAW aside from one special rule to keep things realistic when it comes to deaths. We will be using Critical Role's resurrection rules found here and the 3-strike rule where if you go down 3 times in a same fight, you are considered dead. As for character creation, these will be the guidelines: - Characters will start at level 1-3 (TBD) - Stats will be rolled (won't be lower than a standard 27-point buy) - Starting equipment is your class and background's equipment - You also get to roll your starting gold for your class - Status will be rolled as 1d6 + 1 (before class and race adjustments) Additional info & applications This is a weekly game. The game is held on Fridays at 8PM EST and lasts 3-4hours.
