Welcome aboard the SS New Beginnings, much like most others on this ship you've come to seek a new life. Like so many others you are on your way to the small continent of Gudsrocke. Three nations inhabit the land. to the east is the nation of Vytellsin, a barbaric nation inhabited by all sorts of races and peoples. and to the west is the nation of Maershaven, religious intellectuals that believe in the inferiority of in-human races. Vytellsin and Maershaven have had wars as long as history can remember, stuck between the two opposing nations is the peaceful country of Sulyatan. A war has begun yet again between Vytellsin and Maershaven, their wars are notorious however as both nations are incredibly rich. As such these wars are very profitable for those who seek a life here. You are on this ship seeking the war as well, for what reason, only you know! Perhaps you’ve come to join the fight in one of the nation’s militaries, maybe you seek work with one of the mercenary or merchant guilds or even to make your own, perhaps you’ve come to rob the foolish dream seekers that have forgotten to secure their wallets either way an incredible journey awaits.
Now for the important DM stuff
I’m looking for 4-6 players to join a new campaign I’m working on (you will be my Guinea pigs) some important notes
-I allow all WotC official content: except warforged, I have too many stories of OP/super not OP warforged that I’ve decided to not allow them, yes they are awesome; sorry
-Campaign will be in discord nothing against DnD beyond, I just know how to use the Avrae bot better
-I am wanting active players, no less than once a day. If you are gone for 24 hours I PM you, gone 48 hours and you will be botted until you tell me you’re back (I get it life happens but the story must go on, if it’s something you know ahead of time, let me know and we’ll figure it out)
-I love homebrew, I have two homebrew races (with variants) that can be used for this campaign (Just pm me if interested) as such if you have a homebrew race you want to use, let me know, I’ll give it a quick once over as long as it’s not too OP I will probably say yes
-As for classes, same rules apply UA, Homebrew, critical role. All are welcome. Just make sure you PM me if it’s homebrew.
-there’s a lot of stuff that I’ll be testing with this campaign, if I introduce something and you think it totally sucks, TELL ME. I know I’m not perfect, I know everything I create won’t be a home run. If everyone agrees it’s bad I’ll probably cut it.
If interested reply with the following
Name:
Race:
Class:
Why are you here: merc, criminal enterprises, merchant, join the war, etc.
Alignment: I’m not against evil alignments, I just don’t want one LG and one CE cause then the whole things goes to hell. If evil just know that there’s gotta be at least 3 other evil/neutral characters. And likewise with good, there’s gotta be at least 3 other good/neutral
IRL age: I swear a decent bit especially when talking in character, as such I do apologize but I will be cropping out anyone that falls below a certain age.
Stats and such will be done once I’ve selected my chosen few, if you don’t know what race/class you want to do yet, because you are lookin onto homebrew stuff or something that’s fine, just fill out what you can.
Note- world will be mostly human, but there will be inhumans as well.
I am In Colorado, USA. Timezone is MST, do with that info what you will.
Pirate whose crew disappeared from the ship. Poof, gone. Believes he may be cursed, and is trying to run from it. Thinks he can almost hear them sometimes.
Alignment - neutral (not looking for an excuse to be obnoxious, he’s just open minded)
Why are you here: Studying the causes of the war and as a lofty goal trying to stop the war.
Alignment: LG. EXTREMELY LG. But not that interested in others morality and ethics, but worries about his own to his own disadvantage.
IRL age: 43
Guild / Faction : I'd join one as long as they did not require me to commit any immoral or unethical acts, and helped me with my goals. As to founding one, I could never do that, I'm a terrible leader, even though people get inspired by my example and I'm able to persuade people very well.
I have a holiday coming up in a couple of weeks, but outside of that I can usually post on things daily. Some weekends get busy outside of that, but I'd let you know when they are ahead of time.
Name:Cayfankz (made a prototype on here, I know Avrae can import from the site) Race: Human Class: Sorcerer (Aberrant Mind) Background: Urchin Why are you here: Because he was "told" to... (read below) Alignment: Chaotic Good IRL age: I'm in my mid twenties. Location: GMT, so 6 hour difference. Faction/Guild: Happily join one, so long as it feels like it's getting closer to working things out in his head.
"Oh him? Yeah, he's a weird one."The barkeep tells you as you ask about the slimy faced man at the end of the bar, his raggedy dark hair obscuring some of his face."Says he was abducted six months ago, something about purple people eaters. What's he doing here? Your guess is as good as mine. Says he's here to 'enlist', though I'm not sure they'll take someone like that. Says he keeps getting thoughts and dreams about something 'being there', but he doesn't bother my patrons, and he pays for his drinks."The barkeep collects the empty tankard from in front of the stranger, who is not taking two pieces of string, twisting them beside one another, muttering under his breath before they appear to become one single piece."Just don't press the guy, a couple of thugs decided to lead him down the side alley the other night, and they were found the following morning with scorch marks up their bodies, like he brought a storm down on them."
The strange man raises his hand again, holding two fingers up, one of which has a strange scar in a spiralling fashion that leads down along the bandaged hand. The barkeep chuckles, "Guess he's buying your next drink for you." The barkeep then proceeds to pour from the cask, bringing a foaming tankard to you, then one to the stranger. "You said you're on your way to Gudsrocke? Well, luck be with you, and I guess he'll be keeping you company."
OOC: Basically the idea of the character is they were experimented on by a strange captor (a mind flayer or something similar) and he's getting some instructions embedded in his mind, which includes enlisting upon the SS New Beginnings to head out to Gudsrocke. He believes that it'll help him work out the fractured mind he has, while it actually is just following the plan of the being that gifted him with his powers...
If I understand correctly we are currently sitting at:
3 wishing to join militaries
1 merchant
2 other (looks like research/treasure hunter)
also if everyone could add at the end of their posting
join a guild/faction, or create your own
(This is both to see what I’m working with in terms of party goals and to see who are the people actually checking in on the forum and who’s just one of those folks that signs up then runs off until they get a PM)
Why are you here: Heard tales of strange creatures appearing and some of the local populous being affected.
Alignment: NG, Doesn’t go out of his way to do the right thing but he wouldn’t turn his back on someone in need if it won’t effect his long term plans.
Why are you here: As these monsters appeared so too did stories of there unique capabilities. So she came to study their remains and see what sort of things she can do with their bodies as well as find things to combat these unique abilities with Alchemy
Alignment:NG Amelia wants to help the world but is physically week. She will help when and how she can but she doesn't go out of her way to be interactive, for her she prefers to try and make a difference through her discovers.
IRL age:35
Timezone:CST
Amelia would probably join any guild that would let her keep her name on her discoveries, if not she'll become independent and start her own Alchemists guild
Not sure how you feel about brand new to d&d players, because I am. Hoping you might be willing to help me get things figured out a little. I hope I didn't miss out.
Name: Phi [mononym]
Race: Human
Class: rogue (criminal)
Why are you here: I was in a thieves guild, the leader told me to go to the far reaches and represent the guild. I go forth with hope and ambition, but deep down I wonder if they were just trying to get rid of me.
Alignment: neutral (not sure how I want to take this, so I'll start neutral and go from there)
IRL age: 25
Totally willing to join a guild, I don't care what guild, so long as it helps me grow my skills so I can start a guild faction of my own some day.
I'm a truck driver, I get time between the end of my driving shift and my co-driver's that I can be active once a day at least.
I bounce across the US on a regular basis, so I'm not in 1 set time zone.
Why are you here: Hey there, friend, I'm seeking fame and fortune, of course! Back home, I'm something of a celebrity on the Gladiator circuit. Those crowds sure do love to see me draw first blood, and I sure do love to receive their adoration... and their gold!
Alignment: Neutral.
IRL age: 31
Guild/Faction: Could be part of a Gladiators Guild, or willing to seek out something similar if it could help her in her goals.
Why are you here: Where there is war there are people to save, either by healing or deaths embrace.
Alignment: Neutral Good
IRL age: 48
Probably would join a guild as long as it does not interfere with my religious beliefs. Maybe, depending on the landscape might start recruiting a flock.
