Game: Novus Mundus RPG system (created by host) Group type: Online via Discord Experience: Any; although having played some TTRPGs before will be very beneficial Location/Timezone: Sessions start at 12pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) Schedule: Every Saturday Roles sought: Players Game style: We are an RP-heavy group that enjoy the story-telling aspects of TTRPGs.
World and Lore: The sessions will be in a world designed by the host that is similar to a medieval setting, although with steampunk elements such as airships. The world has its own races and lore.
Genres: The various themes and genres that are present within the world are as follows: fantasy, scientific fiction, steampunk, mystery, adventure, horror, and psychological thrills. A testimonial from previous groups states that the world is a fusion of the Game of Thrones novels, the Berserk anime/manga and Lovecraftian tales.
Expectations: The sessions are not designed to act as an escape from relation; it is designed to immerse the player within reality. For example, players who expect their characters to be superbly overpowered in a similar fashion to anime or video games - such as Dynasty Warriors - will not enjoy the campaign. Though there are fantastical elements, the campaign grounds the characters in reality. As such, players are encouraged to solve problems through a realistic approach, rather than rely on anime or video games for inspiration. Players will find themselves interacting with, affecting, or being affected by geopolitical, socioeconomical, and racial issues. Characters will have opportunities to interact and even influence such elements should they choose.
Player Experience / Specifications: Players of various experiences should not match their expectations of this campaign and sessions to forms of media, such as Critical Role, et cetera. Sessions will be done over Discord, therefore a good microphone will be needed. A webcam is very beneficial, but not required. Players who are interested are expected to convey a certain degree of maturity through their characters. Though humor is present, utilizing it to resolve everything within the campaign is unrealistic. A degree of seriousness and cognizance is expected of the character, and thus, the player. Effective communication is essential and concerns or worries should be communicated in a timely manner.
Session Plot / Appeal: The campaign is itself designed to allow the players to create and engage in their own plots through their interactions with the world and through their immersion with the lore. Hence why the campaign tends to appeal to those who enjoy role-playing and narration. Though there are major plots and overarching schemes at play, the immediate events will be the consequences of the players' decisions and actions; players may also have an effect on the global status quo, leaving their mark on the world.
The campaign tends to appeal to those who enjoy reading lore and immersing themselves within that lore, worldbuilding, role-playing, character development and interactions, and narration. According to testimonials of the past, players who enjoy focusing on combat will be disappointed. To elaborate further, the party will encounter combat depending on the decisions, events, plots and itinerary: expecting combative scenarios every session is highly unrealistic.
Serious inquiries only please. We respect our host and players' time and strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy this hobby. Thank you and happy adventuring!
