I am doing a homebrew level 1-20 campaign again, after the last one fell apart.
It is generally high fantasy, think Tolkien. Classic tropes, rivalry between dwarves and elves, everyone hates orcs and goblins, etc.
The world is post apoc. Essentially every faction is on their own side, there is a lot of moral ambiguity.
WARNING: Realistic violence is possible against every and anyone, including innocents. Racial harmony does not exist, playing monstrous character races will result in overt discrimination.
Please, while the game is open to all 18+, please do not offer to join this game if you have serious psychological or psychiatric illness, it is not the game for you. There will be adult content, it will not be overt (Think rated R) Nor will overt sexual content be tolerated.
Do not offer to join if you are looking for a joke character or wonderfully happy world where all problems can be solved by talking until everyone can live in harmony together. This is not going to be such a game. There are not enough resources to live in harmony together. Conflict is ever-present.
LGBT+ friendly, pronouns will be respected by all. There will be diverse NPCs
There will be class/race restrictions.
Session 0 will be at 1930(GMT+2) October 4, and will be a weekly game.
You must have discord, roll20, D&D Beyond (I hope since you are reading this on D&D beyond) and A WORKING MICROPHONE. Video is optional. Please do not try to improvise anything crazy like using your guitar amp (somebody tried it already.)
Races:
The following races do not exist in the campaign as player characters:
Satyr Minotaur Fairy Simic Hybrid Triton Verdan Warforged Locathah Gith Grung Centaur Automatons are not a thing, only Golems, and you cannot be one Anything from any other source at the DMs (my) discretion
Demons and devils are a thing in this world, if this conflicts with your personal religious beliefs, this is not the game for you.
Class restrictions:
Classes must be from official D&D 5e sources.
NO Artificers. They just do not fit the style of the world and I am really tired with the amount of cheating people try with them.
ALL HOMEBREW MUST BE APPROVED BY THE DM Chances are the answer is no, unless it is properly balanced, which in my experience of homebrew classes/races/items is never.
Fair warning:
To reduce metagaming, any monster or NPC stat block can be modified by me at will.
Homebrew spells are a thing for both players and monsters.
The rule of cool is always a thing.
Cooperative play a must! NO EDGELORDS
Your character must have a reason to adventure, and not be ridiculously risk averse in a fantasy role playing game.
There will not always be the opportunity for your pets, familiar, etc. to scout out every location so you can make an optimal plan.
NPCs will not always tell you the truth and themselves not always know the truth, and the bartender certainly is not omniscient.
Random events may take place as well as changes in scripted events depending on character actions and the world events that are in motion even if you are not involved.
Your party is expected to get involved in world events, not aimlessly wander around the map like tourists trying to avoid danger.
If you are interested, I can be contacted on discord: JustMike#0836
I will respond as soon as I am able, I am not constantly logged on to discord and do not check it everyday.
I’m not really interested in post apoc content but I wanted to reply to applaud you on the quality and detail of your description and post. You covered details on the type of content, what’s allowed and what’s not, detailed ratings of content and expectations of the players and of yourself. Either I’ve just missed other quality descriptions like this or it’s just rare but good job and keep it up! Hopefully you get a good group going and have a blast.
Dang, this campaign sounds so cool and your post is so detailed, it's like 1/4th a typical session 0. I'd love to play but I'm GMT-5 and am at work those hours. Hope you find a great group.
ooh, post apoc. i wanted to do my own survival campaign like this but it also fell through. cool! what time zone? i'm nocturnal so i'm up around 8pm est. my discord is LunarRepublic46#1233, i sent you a friend request coz it seems both our dms are set to friends only
Hey, I'm interested in this campaign and I really respect the way you are upfront and clear about the rules and expectations at your table. I sent a friend request over discord as it looks like you have dm for friends only. Let's have a chat about the setting to see what kind of character I would like to create for it. Hope to hear from you, good day.

Thanks, unfortunately, the detailed description comes from a lot of experience of people agreeing to stuff and then reneging later.
