Hello! My name is Josh, and currently I'm recruiting for an ongoing game in a homebrewed world. Edit: This campaign will take place on Thursdays at 11:30AM to roughly 3:30PM PDT. The next session will be August 30th. The party is currently as follows: A Human Cannonsmith Artificer (Ranged Striker) A Human Cavalier Fighter (Tank) A Human Bladesinger Wizard/Fighter (Melee) I'm currently looking for 2-3 consistent players to add to the party. 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. About the World : The synopsis for the world, from session one, is as follows: 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. HOWEVER, since the beginning of the campaign, five sessions have passed. Here is the commonplace knowledge of what has happened thusfar in the campaign: The party left for a city outside the Bulwark to investigate scout disappearance, and upon arrival, found out that most of the village had been slaughtered by demonically corrupted orcs. The party took the remaining 5 of 6 survivors and escorted them back to the city outside the Bulwark. Upon arrival, they discovered that the Bulwark had fallen to a traitor mage, allowing the orcs to invade; meanwhile, the inside of the city fell overnight to an attack from within, one that very little is known about so far. The party is now traveling north towards the demon lands with the surviving Camorians to make a city in the mountains, just south of the area where the demons patrol. While scouting, the party was approached by a Fire Giant, Praktkrigga, after discussion with the Fire Giant, the party agreed to help liberate the city from it's currently twisted king in exchange for the humans being allowed refuge in the city of Ironslag. 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 were available. However, if you'd like access to a new race, please DM me and ask for further information. This message is to be kept discreet from other players currently in the party. 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. If you have an idea for another character race, please DM me asking for other available races that aren't listed here currently. 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!
