[LFP][House rules] High fantasy, epic character-centred story with simple house rules and a GM with 30 years experience

Hi folks! Welcome to Crystal Lore. In summary: Weekly sessions with video + audio AEST timezone (Melbourne, Australia) Long term campaign of 1 year+ planned Role players preferred over min/max Inclusive GM and game world New player friendly 18+ to not limit potential topics or discussion I'm soon to start up a long-term campaign played weekly on a day that best suits everyone. The world is a home brew medieval fantasy setting with warring nations, political intrigue and a mysterious past. Magic is intrinsic to the world but not in widespread use. I am developing a tome of lore on World Anvil so you can read more at <a href="http://neilcreek.com/clrpg" rel="nofollow">http://neilcreek.com/clrpg</a> Players will be free to choose any role, any story and any goals, but will need to work together as a party to progress the story, so we'll communicate how things overlap while creating characters. World-shaping events will occur, and players will participate in significant ways but the powers that be are strong and your choices won't necessarily tip the balance. I have a broad plot in mind, with significant plot developments but the details and ultimate direction will be determined by the group's actions. The house rule system is very straightforward and places the emphasis on telling story and not getting in the way. You won't be keeping track of dozens of variables and modifiers and you should easily be able to grasp the fundamentals in the first session. I've created an introduction to the rules you can watch here:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOOjHi6QL-k" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOOjHi6QL-k</a> I generally don't kill players so feel free to grow attached and develop rich back stories and grand dreams. But there are consequences to your actions, either in the story, your body or something else. Don't be surprised if you lose an eye or end up with a peg leg if you try to take on a legendary warrior! I am an inclusive GM and will not tolerate sexism, racism, bullying, homophobia or any anti-social behaviour. My game world is also written so that sexism and racism are not part of the lore. Conflict comes from power struggles between the powerful and the powerless, humans and nature, magic and the sword.&nbsp; I'm new player friendly. The game is 18+ because I don't want to be limited in the topics we cover, but there is no specific adult only content planned. You won't need dice as have created an interactive character sheet and macros for use on the Roll20 tabletop. This is not a pay to play game, but if you feel generous and want to compensate me, any funds will be spent on assets for the game, and I want to commission some original artwork for player races and NPCs first. We will be getting started as soon as we have a sufficient number of players. We have one and I am looking for 3-4 more. If you have any questions, please reply! I hope you are interested and I look forward to hopefully gaming with you!

This sounds awesome, did you have a specific date and time in mind? I would love to play a game like this.
This sounds really cool, I'm interested in playing.
This sounds amazing would love to know if you have a time in mind? I would love to explore this world
I'm very interested, and I am on the west coast of the US so the time difference works in my favor for once! :) If slots have already filled up, thanks for posting the lore, your world looks fascinating
I forgot to include the link to the sign up thread! Thank you for your interest everyone, can you please go and reply here and answer the basic questions there. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8324475/post-applications-here" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8324475/post-applications-here</a> We will work out a day and time of the week once I've selected the players so that we can discuss what works best for everyone. We'll be starting as soon as the group is finalised.
Just for fun, here's a map of the kingdom where the game starts: The Diyan Peninsula.
My partner and I are deeply interested. Would it be possible to speak to you in regards to the game and such? She's brand new. I'm not. This is the kind of setting I've been desperately trying to find lol. Sounds great!
Here's a preview of the functionality of the character sheet working in game!&nbsp; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/neilcreek/videos/10158060007241405/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/neilcreek/videos/10158060007241405/</a>
