Hello! I’m looking for 4 or 5 players to play in a homebrew campaign of mine. It’ll take place in the positive energy plane after the player characters were unwittingly brought there. The game will have a focus on exploration with equal parts roleplaying and combat. There will be themes of body horror.
I hope for players to post at least once per day, since this is a very player driven campaign. We will be using the Avrae bot for dice rolls and combat management. If you’re interested, send me a message or reply to this thread.
Upon entering this plane, an unprepared traveler would have first noticed the sun-like brilliance burning into her eyes, severely limiting the range of vision and only being able to discern nearby beings or objects by the shadow they made in the backdrop of infinite dazzle. As she gasped at a sight not meant for mortal eyes, she would have quickly realized there was no breathable atmosphere to even form a scream. The sudden feeling of weightlessness might not have been cause for concern because almost immediately any wounds would have been healed as the life-giving energy permeated her entire being and then went beyond any sense of wellness she had ever experienced. Infused with power only felt in dreams, she might have briefly entertained the thought that air was no longer necessary as she ascended to godhood, but as her cells reached their capacity, she would have realized in a fleeting moment what it means to be mortal before exploding in a burst of radiant energy.
So I’m wondering how you’re imagining this work for mortal beings.

If you were to read further, you’d notice that it then says, “In any infinite plane there is room for variation and the Positive Energy plane was no exception. The ebb and flow of energies created zones that could be classified as minor-positive dominant as well as places that detonated with concentrated bursts even more intense than the usual activity. Matter from other planes could sometimes be found in the more stable minor-positive dominant areas and some were even inhabited.”
I read all of it. I still have no clear sense of what you’re envisioning for what your campaign will look like. Is it floating islands in a sea of energy? Does it feel like the real world? Just trying to understand your vision.

It’s a desert-like, mountainous environment with blinding energy filling the air. The energy blows by in fierce currents kept in motion by the distant explosions of the more dangerous areas.

Having a bit of trouble imagining what the positive energy plane would be like. Can you offer more details about what you’re thinking?

Right. I read this:

As she gasped at a sight not meant for mortal eyes, she would have quickly realized there was no breathable atmosphere to even form a scream.
