Hi! I run a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition game with my husband. We’d love to include other gay players or couples. Below is some information about the setting and atmosphere. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please send me a message so we can discuss your character. The adventure is this: The current story is set a few hundred years after a world-ending cataclysmic event brought about by an extraplanar threat. After the world was nearly destroyed, city-states and kingdoms have started to rebuild, but many swathes of land are deadly and filled with leftovers from that dark time. More has been lost and forgotten than whatever is known at this point. The world is starting to recover, however, and people have begun to go out and rediscover what was lost. The time-period is roughly 1530, for IRL Analogue. While nations still exist, some have fractured into competing realms, or been riven by civil war. There are several large cities, but beyond the light of civilization, no law exists and chaos reigns. The world is very much filled with monsters still. Though our adventures may vary, we will be starting in the former Kingdom of Heide, specifically the Grand Duchy of Rivalin. As seen on the map, Rivalin is located on the Chalk Coast, a region known for piracy, roguery, tomfoolery, and crime. Though the adventure takes place in Heide, your character could be from anywhere conceivable in the world, as the ports of the Chalk Coast are cosmopolitan and filled with every sort of fortune-seeker. Our story? A wealthy patron is interested in reclaiming family lands. Word has gone far and wide through the ports of the world that a massive sum of gold will be paid to all who volunteer to embark on a venture to this end. The lands are currently held by a belligerent Dwarven clan, but not only are these lands contested, they are infested with all the deep and dark things of the wilds. And the Grand Duke of Rivalin has his own designs for the expedition. But that is why the money is so good. Thus, you come to Breistoc, capital of Rivalin, seeking fortune and glory. There are a several things I'm looking for in our players: - Fine with a homebrewed system. We work off a simplified version of Warhammer 4E, and the magic system has been significantly overhauled for ease of use. Beyond the magic system, everything else is still the same. - Fine with original lore and world. We have a detailed and comprehensive wiki detailing everything from the history of the world to the nature of the divine. Please be advised that I have done my best to make this world unique and original, the creatures you've seen and heard of in other settings might be something quite different here. (If you want a sneak peek, go to <a href="https://vala.fandom.com/wiki/Realms_of_Vala_Wiki" rel="nofollow">https://vala.fandom.com/wiki/Realms_of_Vala_Wiki</a> ) - I do not want a "Dice Roller", "Loot Goblin", or "Murderhobo." If you're interested in this game for loot or levels, it is the wrong game for you. What you will get is a highly interactive and detailed story in an original world. Every effort has been made to create a quality experience: from our custom-made maps and tokens to the use of Voicemod by the GM and other participants (optional to new players, but you must be willing to be in character on voice as needed) to further enhance the experience. - Ability to work within the parameters of the setting: You will not be porting over a character from D&D, your character will conform to the world as it is. - You must be fine with real world content and an attempt at plausibility. This is not a world like Baldur's Gate where everyone is fine with every race, and people have interchangeable ethnicities. The world has its own nations and people all with thousands of years of history, and they have their own identities accordingly. Just the same, people will respond accordingly. Dwarves will likely have a problem with your race if you are not a dwarf. There is slavery. This is not a "whitewashed" world that's a blank slate for adventures, it exists to tell mature stories for mature individuals. - Ability to accept the brutal nature of the dark fantasy setting. There are things like slavery, for example, and some communities can be quite xenophobic. I do not support slavery myself; but this is a fictional, fantasy setting. As a GM, this isn't a stick I'm looking to hit you with constantly under the guise of it being a rough world. I'm not here to bully my players, but your characters will no doubt see some very unpleasant things out in the untamed lands between pockets of civilization. People will behave realistically, generally, so you will probably not be swarmed by angry, xenophobic townspeople unless you do something to deserve it. People from more cosmopolitan areas will generally have more tolerance of strangers and their antics, and you can expect people from small rural hamlets to be fearful, suspicious, or hostile to outsiders- travel is extremely dangerous and people generally only travel in the company of dangerous people as a result. Going out after dark into the forests, alone, is ill-advised, because there are horrors in the wilds that can and will try to get you. - I would prefer anyone over age 25, but I would be willing to accept 18+. This isn't a game for kids, while it's not all gloom and doom it is rather dark and brutal in nature. - All potential applicants will need to be comfortable with voice roleplay via Discord. - The game is 12:30/1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on Saturdays. Expect it to last until 3:30-5:00PM.
