Welcome all, to the world of The Natural Ones. We are a group that has been playing for a couple of months now, and recently lost a member of our group. We play weekly on thursdays at 430 PST, 730 EST. It's a homebrew campaign from an excellent DM that keeps us looking forward to each week. The group is heavily focused around RP but end up in combat at least once a session. The characters are the focus of the story, and the dm does an incredible job of implementing our characters, and their backstories into the world he's created. An applicant to our group must have a love for creating and rping interesting characters. A quick story synopsis on the world: Long ago there was a massive conflict between the mortals and the gods that began to escalate over the years as mortals grew stronger and more arrogant, believing they did not need the gods and were better without them. A powerful mortal mage was able to rip one of the gods from their plane of existence and kill him. This resulted in the gods of all different aspects and moralities coming together to rip magic away from the mortals and the world. The gods had almost entirely left the material plane behind in the wake of these events, and nearly all magic and knowledge of it was lost in the process. Thousands of years later, when the campaign occurs, we are witnessing the start of a civil war between neighboring nations. The previous king has died some years ago and the 5 provinces of the continent of Madrigon have split into sovereign nations with 4 of the 5 vying for power. Gatsuun the anti-magic province of secrecy, honor, and military power, Hydal the previous seat of power and commerce province of the north, Nortak the rugged and dangerous province of ever-winter, Archim the desert province of craftsmanship and community, and Yamar the mysterious province of fantastical knowledge and remnants of magic that are remaining neutral in the war. In the campaign so far we have just seen the first attack on Hydal (where we're currently located) from an elite Gatsuunian task force, thus ended a tense stalemate between the provinces that has lasted for 25 years, and beginning open conflict between them. Extra Things: - Magic is VERY scarce and the system to learn it is difficult and costly. The general idea is you collect runic symbols from various sources around the world, and write them down. Then combine the various runes to try and create a spell that would match. (For example, combining the runic symbols Air, Water, Fire, would create fog-cloud). -We are currently level 5 and use the MILESTONE system. -We have extensive session notes for those interested to catch up. -We use Discord and are generally pretty active chatting it up between sessions. - Dont min-max if you can help it. The campaign doesnt call for it, and the DM is not "DM vs Player." Generally the encounters feel very well balanced. -MUST HAVE A QUALITY WORKING MICROPHONE . -Group currently consists of a Rogue, Ranger, Warlock, and Monk. -We use Roll20, with battle maps for combat encounters. -We're all around the age of 26 ish. -We are completely welcoming to new players.
