In Oracle of War, you play a scavenger, an adventurer who
braves the unpredictable and monstrous dangers of the Mournland in the
aftermath of the Last War. With your own war experiences still lingering and
haunting your memories, you work for rich salvage brokers who pay you to enter
the Gray (the locals’ name for ruined Cyre) and track down Cyran artifacts and
relics. Everyone has their own reasons for taking on this dangerous work:
profit, redemption, guilt, patriotism, revenge, curiosity, or motives more
generous or sinister. Whatever the reason or whomever you truly serve in your
missions, the danger of the Gray is no less real. Death awaits any who brave
the scarred and haunted landscape of the Mournland. The scavengers and salvage brokers make their homes in the
town of Salvation on the edge of the Mournland. In this lawless town,
successful scavengers need strong wits, nerves of steel, ambition, and a team
to watch their backs. Vast fortunes and buried secrets ready to be unearthed
await you in the Gray, but so do terrible monsters and lingering magic. Now that we have gone over the Hype and got you blood
rushing a bit, let’s go over some of the basics of how the game shall be run,
there won't be any shockers, if you a good player, please feel free to skip the
point below: 1) Cursing is allowed at my table, however in moderation.
Should you design a fowl mouthed character by all mean RP that **** up all you
like, but keep it relatively clean so as to not make other uncomfortable. 2) Be respectful of the time people spend in the spotlight,
please try and keep talking over one another to a minimum. Granted we are all
getting to know one another and over time we will develop a tempo that will
nearly cut this down to non-existence. 3) Mic check, mi mi mi MIC CHECK! Let’s all face it at one
time or another we've all been in a game and heard tons of background of
another players Mic. This can and does diminish the fluidity of the game as
well as people enjoyment. No one needs to hear you munching on cheetos between
your round of combat! 4) This for the majority will run as rules as written, if
you want to do something on the fly that kind of bends the rules but does not
outright break them... We’ll let the RULE OF COOL Rule! Though it will be
sparing, reserved for epic moments and not every session. I am fine with Rule
lawyers, but once I made a call let it be and we can chat after the session as
much as you like. 5) Be Cool and have FUN!! What you can expect from me: I am
light-hearted, easy going and have a great sense of humor, I am here to have as
much fun if not more than you guys!
I really do strive to
put you in that world, in that moment and help you fully realize in vivid
description how cool and bad ass your character and your actions are.
Conversely, actions do have consequences, so things can go real sideways if you
murder hobo! This will of course vary with each person and each group I run,
but I am for a 30% RP, 10-15% exploration and the rest combat. I will by no
means will ever make you RP if you do not want to, but I do reward good RP and
inventive thinking more than combat XP. I run a mix of XP and milestone type
system, that account for attendance, so if you miss a whole bunch of games you
might be a level or two behind the rest of the party, which is totally fine!
Life happens, it is what it is, Now for the nitty Gritty: I am putting in a ton
of effort to make this a memorable, please have a good headset and know your
character backwards and forward to ensure the session runs smoothly for all
involved. There is a choice to be made right of the bat... Standard Array OR
take point buy once you've decided there's no going back until that character
either gets written out or dies (which you can completely do the 1st session if
you want). Next Variant human is okay and every other race that is within my
compendium! This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $10 per session, weekly sessions. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.
