Tales of
Atriea – New Chapter:
Imperium
Ascension T he Living World of Atriea, 8 makers
upon eight continents teeming with civilizations that rise and fall, all manner
of races in different realms and kingdoms both flourishing with each other and
waging total war. Filled with history untold and mysterious secrets hidden to
all but a few; a series of events led to decisive conclusions that would change
the course of the future for either the better or the worse. Groups of heroes
unite to reach a common goal; calling themselves the Ground Odyssey, scouring
the land to defeat evil where it lurks. Starting Premise: I mperium Ascension :
The Jordenian Empire strikes at the heart of the Southern Realms within the city of
Lanor, convening their slavery system that would bolster their
armaments for the war effort; attempting to vassalize the city through
political intrigue. Lanor’s slave influence spans across the globe to even the
most secluded areas, harbouring different species for all conducts of auction,
relentlessly building an economic super power that would ultimately succeed the
goals of the Empire’s expansion. You, are among the few who would stand and
break the system for it has affected you personally, whether the Empire has
affected your realm or your family. However those who would ruminate to even
act against the Jordenian Empire were always lynched in advance through their massive
web of spies. You find yourself locked in a cell underneath the guards-keep in
the city of Ernmore. Hey ladies
and gentlemen, my name is Nico and I am a DM of 4 years in Roll20 and have
played D&d for about double that. Having over 1500+ hours of DMing
experience on four different campaigns (one concurrently going over 600+
hours), I would say I’m quite familiar with 5e, and having to start from
homebrew really gave me a perspective for balance, in terms of encounters, boss
fights and roleplaying. In saying that, I am no master on the matter, I am not
flawless with how 5e rules are and I love the ruling dynamic between DM and
players that would eventually conclude to a decision. So the
past few years I have been playing with eleven people of my home group (separated
to two campaigns) and have grown accustomed to cater and plan for six players
at one point. My comfortable group size is normally three or four but I would
possibly extend this as I progress to DM. So, I’ve decided, why not have this
world have be shared with others who might come to enjoy it as we have? And
that is where YOU come in! I offer you an exclusive experience that you would find both comforting, fun and enjoyable! What you
would expect from my Campaign: Unique
Story-telling: My homebrew world and scenarios; having played Wizard of the
Coasts modules as a player, I started to DM in homebrew because I wanted to
give players their very own authentic experience of storytelling, they create
their destiny and their journey to it. I merely supply them obstacles or
assistance that would disclose events leading to glorious victory or utter
defeat without compromise of an already set mission line. Consistent
Planning: I thoroughly plan my sessions, almost to the point of
over-planning the session at hand. Never be afraid to explore through the world
(you may miss a lot of loot and special interactions if you do!). Rewards
and Incentives : High Risk = High Reward but also = High Consequences – I don’t
like giving out freebies, but I will not railroad you away from them either. Roleplaying: I roleplay
my NPCs, I am no professional voice-actor, but have played a fair few of games
to reference different vocals from, so if you are the RP-heavy type, then fear
not, as I love to add drama to the players! INFORMATION,
lots of it: I have written entire history scriptures
pre-dating the entirety of my world’s events (I find regularity and consistency
paramount to how my players discover the world). I have the tendancy to add things in my downtime during commute. Dynamic
Encounters: I love battles, they can be slogging in 5e, regardless that I homebrew, my monsters abides to the CR rule from the D&d
Monster Manual. Dungeon crawls are a given but not out of necessity and boss fights
are, well, possibly the most memorable for a player in my campaigns. Potential long-lasting Friendship: D&d is another way to get people with similar interests be part of something wholesome and you and I can be friends in the long run! I want to get to know my players, not just as a character but as a person, bonding friendship through a D&d game is among the best type of way to go about that! Milestone Levelling System: I usually do milestone levelling rather than the original, it gives extra incentives for players who really interact and decide how they go about the journey of accomplishing missions without compromising. What I expect from you:
This game is labelled free, only to the sole reason as my
homegroup friends play this free and thus I think expanding our story beyond to
those who would like to fill it with their own legends is another way to build
such a living world, with no currency expense (your valuable time is all I want!). I expect you to give it the same patience, consistency and
conviction when it comes to playing through the sessions as I do. This would perhaps be bi-weekly but I am open to weekly schedules (bi-weekly is more of a precaution
for those of us whose timetable may change drastically at a moment's notice). Those who do go on to progress over level 5 off this Long-term campaign, I will commission your character an artwork (only if your original character is alive till that point). My End Goal with this?: I would like to turn this into a book someday, entailing the tales of the groups that would like to play it, stories intertwine by real player decisions. I am in need of three new players. English is a MUST . All characters starts at lvl 2. PM me if you are interested - Answer the following questions: 1. Tell me something about yourself. 2. What is your longest running campaign (player or DM) 3. What sort of character are you willing to play? 4. Timezone you are in? 5. Why would you be interested in playing my game? If I find you applicable I will send you a survey to do and then a discord invite will be forwarded to you.
