It encompasses over 750,000 square miles of territory and is home to nearly forty million citizens, not one but who owes fealty to Most Holy in Val Narond. Forty million people living out their lives under the crimson and gold, sharing the same customs, the same language, the same religion, all semblance of dissent ruthlessly quashed under the iron-shod boots of the Inquisition. But it was not always so.
Ten years ago, a last alliance of rag-tag rebels formed. Calling themselves the Grey Rebellion, they chose to stand against the conquest of their lands, seeking to wage a guerrilla war of attrition against the vastly superior armies of The Holy Lands.
Look back with me to the time when a handful of rebels stood against the might of the world itself, to ten years ago, deep in the mountains. Our story begins with a small band of soldiers called “Alpha Company.” Sent to reconnoiter troop positions and meet with a woman named Torrent who has vital military intelligence, you encountered a clutch of Wyverns and barely escaped with your lives. Your sergeant wasn’t so lucky. He lies at your feet, talon marks on his neck, life’s blood spilled there beneath a spreading oak tree.
The night is cool and clear, not a cloud in the sky, and you can feel the chill of winter on the air. Stars twinkle overhead and all around you, you can hear the sounds of the forest sleeping. You smell honeysuckle and pine needles mingled with the coppery scent of the sergeant’s blood and the rich tang of his sweat. In the distance the lonely cry of a coyote rolls out over the forest, drawing your eyes up to the full moon overhead.
You’ve made it to Gatepass and have a bit of time before your meeting with Torrent is set to commence. The mission lies before you. What do you want to do?
Hello Friends!
I am a DM looking to recruit some adventurers to go through a really cool module. I tried running this campaign a few months ago and it went well for a while but for multiple reasons (mostly from me), it fell through. I would like to try it again but finish it through this time.
Campaign Name: The War of the Burning Sky
RPG System: D&D Fifth Edition played on Fantasy Grounds (I have an ultimate license so it will not cost you a thing)
Campaign Genre: Fantasy.
Campaign Style: I am a lover of stories, so that will always be my focus, but I do enjoy encounters. And by encounters, I don’t mean every one of them will be a combat. Could be puzzles, RP or anything in between. I do my best to make encounters challenging and fun with multiple ways to surpass them. But it all comes down to the players If you want a hack and slash type of game I can do that, if you want 60/40 RP to combat I can do that too.
Number Of Players: I’m looking for 4-5 players.
Logistics: This will be a Voice game, facilitated through discord or Teamspeak.
Time & Day: Mountain time. Sessions will be 3-4 hours and could go longer depending on whether or not we are at a good stopping point. The actual day and time is open to a mutually agreeable decision of the final Group. Since my work schedule is kind of all over the place at the moment, the first few sessions may be a bit random until I can get a more stable work situation.
Player Preferences: I have no preference as to Gender or age so long as you are (relatively) mature I don’t really mind. I also do not care if you have never played a TTRPG game in your life or you are a 40 year vet I just prefer people who will be both invested in their character, in the story, and can bring the World to life through clever roleplay, awesome dialogue, and immensly cool actions. If you’re a “power Gamer”, “munchkin” or anyone who’s objective is to “win” or “beat” the game, or to make the most powerful character you can by cheating the rules, then I am not the DM for you.
Language: English
Expected Commencement Date: Depending upon responses I expect to start sometime pretty soon, but I am prepared to take as long as it does to find the right people.
Expectations: I expect this Campaign to run for quite a while. Long enough for characters to grow, and evolve and to play out the story whichever way the players take it. If you’re looking for a one-off or a short series of games then this is NOT the game for you. I expect the Players to commit to the possibility of a long campaign, hence the detailed recruitment. Now, life changes and things happen, so while I expect you to commit to the Campaign I also realize that sometimes unforeseen events occur, so if you need to miss a session or two then we’ll accommodate you by rearranging the schedule or postponing the session, but only when you give some notice or in the case of an emergency. I don’t even mind if you feel the need to drop-out, as long as you let me know in advance and, at the very least, genuinely start the Campaign with the intention to “see it through.” In exchange for all this, you can expect a committed GM who will do his very best to provide you with a great Campaign full of intrigue, mystery, heroics, and danger. You can also expect a regular game with as few interruptions to the gaming schedule and Group as possible. All the adventures are available on the Internet: resist the temptation to “look ahead;” you’ll only spoil things for yourself and your fellow gamers.
If you'd like more information on the setting, here is a link to my Homebrew. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Hello Im new to the site and looking for a group ive got 5y of table top exp but ive never played online before but im trying to learn if youd be willing to help me out from time to time with learning i like long story campaigns so i think this would be a good fit. Also i have a discord account as well but im not sure hpw the character worksheet would transfer to your story line in the link so youd have to tell me where to go to make a character. I do already have a fresh halfling elf that i made a couple days ago but if ive gotta make a new one lemmie know :) my discord is ScarletRosewood#4024
Oh jeez I never thought I'd see this campaign ever again! I have a new character, a lil drow protege, but I'd love to create a character unique to this campaign by using your homebrew. I live in EST, but I do online school so I'm available whenever as long as it isn't in the morning during weekdays (That's when my classes are held). I've been in around 10 sessions before (maybe more, my memory isn't wonderful), but it's been a long while since I've played. I have discord and am used to teamspeak as well.
How's it going? I'm really new to DnD but I know a lot about it and i'd love to have my first experience and meet some new people if you want to get in touch with me I have discord: ChocolateLove#6943
I've been looking for a campaign since my IRL group fell apart a few months ago and your campaign seems interesting. My discord is rocklock#9994. I've never played online, but would really like to. Sadly, availability is only Friday evenings due to work and other conflicts
Discord: mkable101#5141. Brand new player would love to learn. I mostly work 3-1(mostly) EST. But willing to do morning or late nights. If you have an opening I be glad to join.
I would like to throw my hat into the ring for this one, if still available. My current availability is 4 or 5pm PST on Mondays and Wednesdays, with fairly open availability on Sundays. I've got 20+ years experience playing various RPGs (D&D being the main one) and am willing to fill most any role needed. PM me if you're interested. Thanks!
so does that mean you don't like what you've seen so far in candidates? Sorry if I'm being to forward I've just been reading up on your campaign and am really excited about the possibility of being a part of it. I PM'd you and if you would have me I'd like to know where to go from here and where to start you can message me on here or on Discord my tag is ScarletRosewood#4024
The only day I can’t do is Sunday as I’m already playing 2 long term campaigns but apart from that I’m pretty flexible as I work late nights (gmt) so your time zone should suit me perfectly. As I mentioned I’m already in 2 long term campaigns so you don’t need to worry if I’ll be committed.
I’m already playing as a barbarian and a rogue so it would be nice to play as a spell caster or my Dragonborn Paladin but since I signed up on here I’ve created about 30 different characters so I can use one of them to best suit the party.
If I don’t hear back from you then good luck with the campaign, I hope everyone has a great time and you can always message me if someone drops out
The Holy Lands
It encompasses over 750,000 square miles of territory and is home to nearly forty million citizens, not one but who owes fealty to Most Holy in Val Narond.
