I'm looking for 4–6 players. This is *not* first-come-first-serve—there will be a short interview process to make sure everyone is a good fit. Please DM CasperTalks on Discord for more info, or reply here (though DMs will get a faster response).
What platforms do we use?
Discord – for voice chat Roll20 – for maps and visuals D&D Beyond or PDFs** for character sheets (The game may also be streamed on Twitch, and you must be okay with that.)
What type of game?
A heavy homebrew campaign with a classic D&D feel. Expect about 65% roleplay / 35% combat, plus plenty of puzzles and exploration. We’re running on the 2014 ruleset.
When do we play?
Saturdays at 7:00 PM EST. (Schedule may shift depending on player availability. I DM for you, not me!)
Campaign Summary
The gods are gone, and the magic that once sustained Cypress is fading fast. Kingdoms that thrived in harmony are now fractured, caught in bitter wars and shifting alliances. In Yarrow, a young queen named Emery has just ascended to the throne after surviving the brutal betrayal that claimed her parents’ lives. The Festival of Derris, once a symbol of renewal, is now remembered for the blood spilled that night, and the people look to her to lead them through a world on the brink of despair. Meanwhile, neighboring realms like Delphinium, Phlox, and Nepal brace themselves for war, each with its own ambitions, secrets, and dangers. Magic dwindles, and the Garden of Arbor, once the heart of divine power, is slowly dying, threatening the very existence of magical beings across the land.
Players will step into a world where choices matter. Will you defend your kingdom, explore the remnants of divine ruins, or unravel the chaos of the Vivaly and Limbo? From the icy forests of Evergreen to the bustling, magical streets of Hyacinth, or the treacherous waters surrounding Nepal’s islands, danger and intrigue are everywhere. The story is heavy on roleplay, with puzzles, combat, and political tension shaping the path of your characters. Your actions can change the fate of entire kingdoms and perhaps even the last threads of magic itself.
