Sundered Realms (5e One-Shot Series)

The world of Tel Arden, the prime world, was broken long ago in the strife between great powers. The stuff of reality was bent, warped by vast forces. World was cleaved from world, and each hidden from the others. Now there are the Shards of Tel Arden, the myriad reflection of the true world. Each bound from rejoining the true world by the clever working of powerful beings. Yet those powerful beings are bound by their own morality, and so each world has some mechanism to return it to Tel Arden, no matter how well-hidden or abstract. The gods fight fairly, at least among themselves.

There are beings who can travel across the worlds, fissures and wormholes where the wary and unwary may be drawn to a far world, there are the gods striving against one another, beyond. And then there are mortals like yourself, who shift from plane to plane, opening ancient portals, banishing old demons, altering simple events which change timelines, and stopping other events which save worlds which have lived beyond their time.

You are a Farwalder.

You may be an agent of a god, chosen or not. Perhaps you are bound to some great cycle of magic you do not understand. Maybe you have have died and feel that you travel the afterlife for your ancestral home. Perhaps you are a part of a powerful order working in secret. Was it an accident that brought you to tumble between the worlds? Was it worship? A debt? The price of magic given, or a great sin committed? Do you dream all of this?

The system is a modified D&D 5E, but the lore, creatures, settings, and characters be will be almost entirely unique.
The PCs will be characters somehow cut loose from their world of origin. That origin world can be from The Forgotten Realms, DragonLance, Darksun, LOTR, Dragon Age, Star Wars, Shadow run, Rifts, World of Darkness, other worlds from fiction, or something you have dreamed up!
If you have ever read The Dark Tower, The Eternal Champion, watched Sliders, or played PlaneScape then you might be interested in this game!
We will visit different worlds from session to session, each with unique characters, lore, and dangers! We will make a few characters, so players can switch out and/or have a backup if things get deadly...which they will!

This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $25 per session, via startplaying.games, at the beginning of each session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.
