Hi folks! I'm putting the finishing touches on a new campaign world and
decided it's time I started looking for players to fill out the roster.
Here is a bit about the world and what I'm looking for in a player. - The world is Argona .
It is a largely unexplored world, but recent technological advances are
allowing it to expand in ways it's never had the opportunity to before.
Power is held by a small number of kingdoms who have embraced the new
technology of gunpowder and naval navigation. - Banks hold influence
that was once the domain of those on the throne. The church refuses to
be limited by national borders and works the masses into a faith mad mob
to be turned on any who resist the leadership's wishes. - Magic is a
subject not spoken of among polite company. At best, it is a remnant of
ancient children's tales; nothing to spend even a moment's thought on.
At worst, it is a foul, black art practiced in the dark of night by
those who would form pacts with infernal beings through evil rituals and
blood sacrifice. - Monsters are, for the most part, a thing of the
past, having been hunted to near extinction as civilization spread
across the face of "the Old Country". Now, most monsters have only been
seen as taxidermy specimens or heads mounted on the walls of the largest
noble houses. - Dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings and other forms
of demi-humans have all but disappeared from the world, taking on a role
much like they have in our own real world history. - Dragons pop up
occasionally in rumors spread by travelers and merchants who wander far
abroad, but there hasn't been an actual, documented account of one in
civilized territory in over a hundred years. Word has reached King Whelgrad of Rassovar
that mariners, swept off course during a westward exploration, have
sighted a vast land mass, at least as large as the home continent of Alverim ,
possibly larger. They tell of going ashore only to be met by a
strange,primitive race of people who appeared friendly at first, but
quickly became angry and extremely hostile, driving the sailors back to
their boat. During the time they were ashore, the men claim to have seen
huge beasts that stalked both them and the natives. The king has
appointed Warden Rhavus Thorne head of an expeditionary
and settlement force that will sail for the "New World" and claim
territories for the crown, as well as granting land, and possible
titles, to those undertaking the hardships of the voyage. There has been
a kingdom-wide lottery and 30 families have been chosen for the
journey, as well as a military component, a small retinue of adventurers
in the service of the Warden and you - a team of adventurers, or
mercenaries, if you will, who are to serve in any way needed in the new
lands. Consensus among yourselves seems to be that you're largely
expendable, but the Warden was friendly and bright as he welcomed you
aboard The Crown's Reach this morning and you can't
help but feel hopeful as you set sail. Your pulse races a bit and your
head swims with the possibilities that lay ahead of you on The Far Shore . ==================================== Now, on to what I want from you: -
Be active and friendly. There will be a Skype chat channel and a group
forum here on Roll20 - use them to get to know your fellow players and
make friends. If you're looking to just log-in each week at game time, save us both a lot of time and go get a subscription to WoW. -
Don't be aggressive with other players or me. Disagreements happen from
time to time, we all know that. But, I won't have someone freak out and
go all batshit on someone in a game I'm running. Friendly discussion is
fine, but outright fighting over rules or disagreements is a sure fire
way to get booted. - Be more focused on the enjoyment of everyone at
the table and the shared adventure you're all on than the rules if
there's an issue. If it's an error that absolutely must be addressed,
save it for after the session, please. I have a post-game feedback
period every session and prefer working things out there to disrupting a
session. - Be team minded! - Be able to meet every Saturday night at 7 pm EST , and play for roughly 4-5 hours. Chat will probably be done through Skype .
Ok, I think that's all. If you're interested or have any questions
please PM me here and I'll try to cover it all and set up an interview
through Skype for us to see if our personalities will work together. Thank you for your time. ~ Ironhead
