The city itself sits at the very edge of the Khemari Desert, a massive expanse of treacherous sands. An economic and physical wall separates the rich from the poor in the oasis city, and water is a precious commodity. The streets are rife with crime, gangs taking up arms in the shadows, while the wealthy sit at the very peak of the city, oblivious to it all. None of this, of course, is what you are here for. You're all here on a rumor.
You all came to this city upon hearing that the notorious Golden Circle was hiring for the first time in decades. The legendary guild had gone out of commission for just under a year, disappearing without a word, inaccessible. But the leader of the guild, the Chimera, has seemingly opened their doors for service once more.
You are all here to join them. To become a mercenary of the Golden Circle. Your reasons and motives are your own, but you are prepared to sacrifice everything if it means getting in. After all, growing up on stories of the fabled guild's exploits, how could you not?
The Chimera is calling. Sharpen your blades. Forge the mask. Enter the Circle.
alright! so! first of all, my name is Ace, and i owe you all some context: i've been in a guild server for almost a week and got dreadfully bored of it. it was all so technical, everything was xp based, all the dms were on a power high and players always died before level 4. there was no story, no mention of character backstories, and i hated it. so i decided to make my own, and basically do the opposite of all that! i am just a creature fueled by spite.
this is a pbp server, where i will regularly run mission-type sessions, tapping into character backstories and leveling you based on accomplishments as you all explore the great city of Astora and, eventually, the world beyond. it's a desert setting, because i got exhausted of typical high-fantasy everyone-is-white settings.
this is a homebrew world, and i know that limits more intensive background design, however: i have actually designed very little of this world. i wanted to give you guys as much freedom as i could, designing a full world map after i have basic backstories down.
on that tangent, once i figure out who i'll be accepting, i'm SUPER happy to work with you all one-on-one to really get a good backstory in, to figure out your motives and history and how you all got to astora (or, your life living there, if it please you). no specific amount of experience necessary, but it helps if you're familiar with general roleplay format.
What I am looking for: - I will be accepting 25 players. There is a google form at the bottom of this post, through which I will decide who to accept into the server. Keep in mind, as session parties will be randomized and raffled for, I will be taking class and race variety into account. I'm not going to have a server full of variant human fighters if I can help it. - Interested in the roleplay aspects of DnD, but unsure if you'll have time to commit to hours long sessions? Join as an NPC! I will be taking 12 NPC characters, which can range anywhere from a blacksmith to a butler. - Doing all of this on my own is going to be pretty difficult, and as such I will be accepting 3 DM applications, should anyone be interested. I doubt I'll receive any, but it would be a great help.
Some general rules and information: - please don't apply if you are over 30 years old. i'm 18, and would much rather play with people closer to my age and sense of humor, which people over 30 tend to miss. - i'll say 18+ to be safe, as i do not and will not censor any mature content. however, if yall are like, 15 and don't care about that sort of graphic stuff, it's fine. join at your own risk.- lgbt+ friendly!! i shouldn't have to say this, but i will. i'm agender, and i literally could not care less what the rest of you are. i trust everyone will be respectful and accepting. this is a threat and a promise - Discord IS required, as this will all be run through that. - PLEASE use proper grammar when writing in character. as a writer, being in several servers where people do not use proper grammar, it kills me. If this will be an issue for any of you, please don't apply. - sessions will be run in mission format, with randomized parties. however, do not take this to mean that all of this has no story. I'm an rp and story based DM more than anything. i do have a plan, but that's a surprise tool for later
You will be starting at level 3, so that any subclasses can already be decided and factor into character backstories (and starting at level 1 is really, really boring). Unearthed arcana content is totally fine, but personal homebrew is not. Remember, this is a desert setting: it would be wise to keep that in mind as you design your characters.
if you made it through that massive wall of text, congratulations! you must either be very interested or very desperate to play dnd. the forms will be open for 48 hours, after which i'll assess how many applications i have and go from there. i am in MST, and base my timings off of that. let me know if you have any questions!
