Hello, my name is Josh. Currently, I'm looking to fill a spots for a game taking place around 11:30am-3:30pm or 4:00pm PDT on Thursdays. Experience in playing isn't a necessity, I only require people that are interested in building a story with other willing participants and with a passion for the game. I will be accepting likely a maximum of 6 players, though 5 is what I usually go for. This is an edit: The first session will take place hopefully on either July 19th or July 26th. About the World : I'm going to be basing this campaign (initially) on the very common fantasy theme of "Orcs versus Humans," and with that being said, the only restrictions for the game (initially) are that starting races must be either human or half-orc. Here is the synopsis for the story of the world: The Kingdom of Camor in the Land of Spires was a once great civilization that stretched far down the western coasts of Akkala. Reaching the elvish lands of Lyeie'he to the north, and keeping the orcs of Snakhagr in the south at bay, Camor was a relatively happy kingdom in it's prime. After centuries without war (save the orcish patrols to the south, which was generally always a cold war), Camor continued it's expanse, aiming east for the dwarvish kingdoms of Alunun to fortify the human's friendship with the dwarves; however, before this expansion could be set into motion, a disagreement with Jon Korben the Red would prove to be fatal for the citizens of not just Camor, but the world as well. Historians don't know many details of what is now known as the Great War of Evocation, but they do know basis of the horror story that occurred several hundred years ago. During the Great War, Jon Korben the Red and the armies of King William Camor of the Great Spires engaged in a several year long war, with King William's armies assaulting the Red Wizard's fortress to the north until he was backed into a corner. Near the moment of his defeat, Korben unleashed a palpable evil upon the world, scourging the Camorian lands with indescribable horrors, devils, and demons. King William fought until his last in what is now known as the Dread Wastes before being forced to retreat into the Northern Gulf of Camor, where he, with the help of the Purple Wizard, Agos, erected the Bulwark, a magical, multi-layered wall that would protect the survivors of the war. King William took what soldiers and commoners survived and built New Camor, which is now known as Camor. The lands that William used to rule - that Camor used to rule - in his absence, got over-run by the orcs of Snakhagr in the south. Now, the Kingdom of Camor, in the Land of Spires, is a fraction of its former glory, hiding on the cliffs of the Camorian Gulf while their lands are over-run by orcs to the south and unknown horrors north of the mountain passage. The light of the Faith is the only ideal that hasn't changed, as far as Religious Historians can tell; Tao the Father and Vera the Mother still watch over Camor, though whatever other God's used to be of the faith, they are long forgotten. Camor today is highly militaristic. Whatever royal family existed died with King William, and over the next couple of decades since his death, the military were put into power in the form of a Stratocracy; a form of Oligarchy. Currently, the kingdom is ruled by Field Marshal Simon Greystorm, the Wolf of Camor; and Field Marshal Drogo Helder, the Dragon of the Bulwark. The above text has all necessary info you need to have for building your characters backstory. Below, I will reiterate the base requirements for the Campaign and the character building process. This is an edit: At the age of 15, citizens of Camor are conscripted into the military. I'll discuss your characters rank with you based on your age and background. Mages are also conscripted, but they typically still attend a magical academy for several years before doing any field work. RACES: Initially, only human and half-orc are available. More races may become available to use as the story progresses. CLASSES: All classes are available. BACKGROUNDS: As far as I can tell, most backgrounds should be good to go. Please discuss backgrounds with me before writing it in, as backgrounds such as "Far Traveler" from the Sword Coasts Adventurer's Guide wouldn't apply well in the start of this game. SOURCE MATERIALS: I will be using all D&D 5e source books, and as such, the players will be allowed access to the Players Handbook, Volo's Guide, SCAG, Xanathar's, and Mordenkainen's. Note that source material from Volo's and Mordenkainen's is, again, not available initially, but will be later on. With that out of the way, here is the player application below. Please post your applications in the thread, so that I can review them all at once and not sort through DM's, this makes the process easier for me. NAME: who are you? AGE: how old are you? EXPERIENCE: how long have you been playing 5e and/or tabletop games? GENDER: what do you identify as? CHARACTER CONCEPT: given the information above, what sort of character would you like to play? Please list up to three characters only. If you've read this far, I hope to be playing with you soon!
