This is an 18+ mini-campaign (3-5 sessions) set in the city of Eden 18,
within the Homebrew world of Terra Nostalgia— a setting designed after a
post-cyberpunk world with vapourwave characteristics. What is Eden 18? Welcome
to Eden 18, a restless city-corpse, where neon lights blink in
staggered, inconsistent patterns. A graveyard of dreams, where ideals
were made manifest, then turned twisted. Where an ember of the humane
spirit endures, in the wreckage of utopia. 12 districts, once
deliberately designed to serve the interests of a corporate black ink
margin, now desperately held together by revolutionaries turned
criminal, every day turning more into the masters they overthrew. Held
together while a kingdom of conscience looms overhead, constantly
watching, constantly waiting for the city to clean itself off, while
still treating it as a dumping-ground. A dumping ground for
undesirables, a dumping ground for subversives, a dumping ground made to
grind out the vestiges of the defiant spirit. Yet this dumping ground
is defined by the defiant spirit. There is decay and defeat plastered
over this once luminous city, yet life here persists— most times
resigned to their worn-down fates; sometimes though, sometimes life here
thrashes against it all, incandescent and incarnadine— ugly, loud,
messy, ungraceful, brutish, immense, and irresistibly perfect, as
perfect as a mortal soul could be. Premise: Your characters are independent contractors, who've been hired
for one job— extract the psychic space aliens colloquially known as
'daemons' from Eden 18, one of the Rand Global Conglomerate's failed
attempts at establishing a utopian consumerist island city. Now
abandoned, the place is in a state of lawlessness, the primary authority
being the Criminal Organisation dubbed the Eden Syndicate.
Due to the complicated history between people and daemons, it is likely
those inside Eden 18 are at a significant threat. Your job is to enter
Eden 18, find and extract the demons, so that they may be moved into an
area secured by the Social Responsibility Company (SRC). Your
employer/handler's identified themselves as Antoine Plaise, and it is
through him that you have been granted access to Eden 18. System: D&D5e Pricing: Session 0 is free, every session after is $10 per person Themes:
Post-Cyberpunk, Urban, Surreal. Setting
inspired by Disco Elysium's Revachol and various properties of
cyberpunk and weird fiction. Requirements: Discord and a microphone, we'll being using Roll20 as the VTT, and payment will be done handled through StartPlaying. Schedule: Weekly- Sundays 10:00 PM EST For a bit about me and my DM style—
the one thing that I continue to love seeing more than anything else is
my players immersed and enjoying themselves as the characters and
stories they weave into these worlds take shape and become something
truly wonderful. I personally grew
up a theater kid with a love for literature (both genre and fictional),
which has manifested quite well in running engaging campaigns with
plenty of improv, colourful NPCs with a variety of voices to serve as a
strong supporting cast, and narratives that are filled with strong
emotional cores. Finally, my foremost priority as a DM is my players' comfort and fun. My
table (online or otherwise) is meant to be welcoming, inclusive, and
safe; and I do not tolerate anyone who attempts to ruin that
environment. Additional Notes:
Much of what serves as the primer for the campaign (character
building, questions about the setting/world, Roll20 tools and UI,
atmosphere and tone, and any other questions) will be covered and
discussed in the free Session 0. Once everything is set and everyone's
satisfied, we'll be ready to get started proper with Session 1. This
campaign takes place within a cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk homebrew
setting. While I am aware that there are other systems that cater to
such genres, I decided to stick with DnD 5e due to convenience and
familiarity, both on my part as a DM and for any potential players. This
does mean that many elements from traditional DnD are reflavoured to
fit the setting, though all relevant changes will be communicated with
the players. If you're interested please join through the StartPlaying link here: <a href="https://startplaying.games/adventure/cl6cyghfu002n09mo1z00d7fm" rel="nofollow">https://startplaying.games/adventure/cl6cyghfu002n09mo1z00d7fm</a> This
game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $10 per person via
StartPlaying. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and
cannot enforce any private arrangements.
