Hi everyone, I'm running a Play by post 5e space campaign and looking to recruit new players. The campaign is played on Discord. Character build, standard array no multiclassing, level 9, custom races highly desired. We currently have a red panda wizard a polar bear sorceress a goblin fighter who throws magic cards, a dark elf cleric, a half celestial ranger, and a half orc barbarian. Duplicate classes are allowed I would prefer if you chose a different subtype if a duplicate occurs. This is definitely a rule of cool game more than rules lawyer. Lots of homebrew.
Please include a background, you may make up your home planet and it's culture. Recruiting several players so feel free to post multiple ideas but do so separately please.
I had a bit of a "meet and greet" with this group a while back and they are a really great, enthusiastic bunch! The setting wasn't exactly my cup of tea (I'm more fantasy than sci-fi) but I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves sci-fi or is looking for a place where creativity and homebrew is encouraged!
Hi!! Im Dae. Id be super interested!! Im a huge fan of scifi and am looking for a pbp game since i have a really unpredictable schedule. I have some ideas for custom species as well as my own home planet. Since its just in writing and not exactly for dnd id probably reskin an existing race or homebrew some stuff with your permission. As for class it depends on which character:
I have Sunny, who is a custom species (though I havent homebrewd any abilities yet), most likely an artificer as his people are able to infuse items and weapons with a special element unique to their home planet. I have quite a background for him but its in doc form so id probably link it for reading elsewhere (essentially hes been marked a criminal, presumed dead after being sent into a black hole as a form of execution).
Then i have Ko-rel, who is an assassin (rogue subclass probably works just fine here) from a homebrew faction kinda inspired by the harpers? Theyre the cpu (cosmic protection unit), a peace force who operates in the shadows to try and keep any one power from taking over (similarly to Sunny, hes got a small doc but in short after finding that the 'government' of his home planet was involved in his families death he seeks to find and kill those he deems responsible).
Sorry if thats a lot, i just love some good scifi!! My discord is nidusprime !
🤣You say that like I wouldn't spend just as much time following your antics as I would participating in them!😅 I have a well documented history of making poor life choices involving discord campaigns. Something about self-control, sleep deprivation, and negative effects on mental health.😄
Thank you for the offer, though!
At the very least, know you've got a fan out here flogging for you every time a new recruitment goes up!
Ok I’m interested! I’ve played a little with the 5e sci-fi rules. I have a very alien wrothian sorcerer (radiation freak) I’d love to play (campaign died).
link below. Obviously I’d adjust for level and etc.
The benevolent king Ivanooze ruled the plasmoids of Murg, a major squishy landmass on the planet Trisol. The rival nation of Strug led by Bont the Viscous was jealous of king Ivanooze's marriage to the celestial Caliope, a lantern archon, who had fallen in love with the king when he attended a concert given by the space-faring muse. The envious Bont sent his daughters to challenge Caliope to a singing contest, but they were soundly defeated. Adding insult to injury, or perhaps vice versa, Caliope polymorphed them into magpies.
Some time later, their first son came along. Years would pass and young Orpheooze found he shared or possibly even exceeded his mother's own talents in song and was fond of playing the lyre, a gift from his uncle, a celestial, or so he believed, who his mother introduced as Uncle Plon. In a actuality, "Plon" was a deity whom his mother had known long before she arrived on Trisol The two spent much time together and grew close. From his uncle, Oprheooze learned not just the lyre, but also the healing arts and even a bit of magic. From his mother, he learned responsibility and she rewarded his unwavering loyal service with a bit of her own divine magic, as well.
The young ooze found he could speak with any creature he set his mind to, through the universal language of music. Even the rocks and trees and the rivers and roads seemed to commune easily with the little plasmoid.
One day, he found himself aboard a Spelljammer called the Argos, and along the way the crew was set upon by the call of a strange satellite. The moon orbiting an asteroid turned out to be the lair of a Moon Dragon, luring the crew there, presumably intent on taking their Spelljamming Helm for its hoard, but the young plasmoid was able to silence the Dragon's mesmerizing call and divert the ship before it befell disaster. A battle ensued, with the Argos barely making an escape in one piece.
Making an emergency landing, the crew met with many Fey on an uncharted world, known to the locals as Tempe, one of whom, Eurydice, fell in love with Orpheooze. The two married tight there on her Homeworld, but tragically one of her countrymen, a space bee-keeper and Spelljammer named Chad would scold her for her love of a plasmoid. Feeling threatened by his angry tantrums, Eurydice fled, only to fall victim to the venom of a space eel's tail spine, moments later, she woukd succumb to the wound.
Chad fled the planet, but found that his space bees were dying, the colony began to collapse and Chad deoarted for unknown parts of the void. Orpheooze buried his wife and embarked on a quest, not for revenge, but in a desperate bid to restore life to his lost love, he boarded a spelljammer traveling to a busy port, from which he intended to make passage to Doomspace, (as it's known for the Eye of Doom spiraling at its center,) to find an alternate world where he and his beloved can live together once more.
Or else I've got this clockwork sorcerer warforged. No backstory at all at the moment, but I'm sure we can come up with something.
If you’re willing to work with me on character creation I’d be interested in joining. I’ve been doing Pbp over discord for about a month now. I’ve never played a space campaign, and I think it would be a good change of pace.
😂Well that sounds about right! My schedule opens up, I've finally got an idea that might be worthy of this group, and you closed (checks notes) yesterday.
If you get another opening and have interest in a sentient Tressym (psychic flavored) Warlock homebrew, please give me a shout.

You're in I'll send you an invite to the server
That does not mean recruiting is closed! Others still welcome!
Darn you guys! I keep looking at this and saying "I can fit in one more campaign."
[Spoiler Alert: I most definitely can not.]
Maybe next time you're recruiting the stars will align🤞
I recommend just rejoining how group and lurking around and seeing if your schedule opens up at all. You wouldn't be the first

Very long backstory:

In both cases, ignore any undo leveling or items. They'll be struck if accepted
Still open

Always willing to work with people it's more fun that way
I believe we're closed, if you would like to leave an application below the next time recruiting opens I will check this post first.
