Hi guys! I am looking to start a Wildemount campaign on Play by Post, mostly because RemCultist thought of it first and I was jealous. I'm looking for 4-5 players who can commit to posting once per day most of the time. My preferred game is a sandbox style campaign, with a balance of exploration, RP and combat.
My last PBP game kind of fizzled out, so players should be aware before they sign up- the pace of the game will be slow. That's just the way it goes with text-based games.
So, for player characters, I am happy with all Races and Classes (Including Gunslinger and Bloodhunter) though if you want to play a monstrous race, think about how you will get by in more civilised parts! No Eberron or Ravnica though, sorry guys!
Reply below with your character concept, using this format-
Name-
Race + Class-
Background + Backstory- (Try to keep it short)
Don't worry about building your character yet, the plan is to start at second level, and use either point buy or standard array. I'm also open to using floating ability points, so if you want to go for an unusual race/class combo be my guest.
(edit- floating ability points work like this. If you are interested in playing a particular race with fixed ability attributes, e.g. Hill Dwarf. Usually you get CON +2, WIS +1, you can move one of those points to an ability score of your choice. E.g. CON +2 and CHA +1 or CON +1, WIS +1 and DEX +1. It means you aren't tied to 'optimal' character types so much).
Background and Backstory: Entertainer - An actor and performer of the now bankrupt Tanym and Sisters three ring Circus. Having lost his circle of friends and traveling companions, He looks to join a new group to satiate his wanderlust.
would love to play a gunslinger, but we have quite a few of those ;)
Tristan Videris,
Draconblood dragonborn wizard (bladesinger if that is ok. 'cause it isn't the forgotten realms I was hoping for a bypass on the restriction. if not then bloodhunter. ).
backround- haunted one.
backstory- Tristan has always abhorred his kind. he was only a child when the Ravenites were redeemed, but he knows enough to hate his own for what they were. his family was hit hard when the rebellion happened .They were in the Ravenite trade, and when the Chroma conclave attacked, they lost everything. for the last twenty years, the Videris household has worked to reclaim their lost profits and restart the slave trade. Tristan was taught growing up that this was the right way, and that the ravenites were inferior. even when learning magic and swordplay this point was enforced. Tristan disagreed and started to oppose them. small ways at first. leaking secrets to their opposers, and "losing" important documents. when he turned twenty, he started openly defying his family. he grossly underestimated them. they locked him up in their dungeon, and tortured him. he was horrified to find around twenty ravenites in the same state. after two years, he finally had his chance. one of the servants who had been friendly to him, had stolen his masters sword. he brought it to Tristan , and when the time finally came, he broke the Ravenites out of the dungeon. they managed to make it out of the estate, and ran for days, the Draconblood guards hot on their tails. they managed to reach a small village, where Tristan paid a smuggler to get the Ravenites out of Draconia. he followed behind. he is now wandering, and waiting for a chance to bring down his family for what they did to him.
Background + Backstory: Criminal. Marcus used to be a smuggler and an avid drinker, until he ended up in a ditch after a failed job, barely alive. A monk saved his life, and changed it, too. He was still an alcoholic, but the 10 days in the monk's care changed his view on life. He abandoned his old ways and became a traveler, helping those in need and asking for very little in return. He started to understand the tales the monk shared with him and to appreciate how little gestures of kindness lifted the soul more than a pouch of gold pieces. People, even strangers, seemed to look at him in a different way. A better way.
Background + Backstory- : Acolyte. Years after leaving her temple home Brona made her living on sailing vessels, using her magic to protect ships from storms. After an encounter with a priest of her faith while in port, Brona made the decision to leave the seas behind and return back to the life she left behind.
Background + Backstory- (Try to keep it short)-: From the Menagerie Coast, a fisher and hunter of sharks and other gribblies. She had a bad experience in some Ki'Nau ruins on the Bisaft Isles. She took some time away from the sea after that and has been wandering looking for something she can't quite name...
Background+Backstory: Soldier. Galerius grew up raised by artisans in his clan. When he was 16, the League of Dragonborn drafted him into the military to fight the Grand Army of the Fire Giants. thousands of Dragonborn perished fighting, but the League emerged victoriously. The young Galerius showed his talent during the war and was promoted. Sometime later, Galerius entered a tavern, which was in fact a magical prison. He escaped with the help of others.
Race: Kobold/Fighter or Paladin as needed. (Hopefully Gunslinger for fighter and either Oath of Redemption or Conquest without it being totally evil.)
Background/Backstory: (Criminal) Reelq was born into a clan of kobolds that lived in the sewers of Zadash. A deal was made with the Myriad, that as long as thecowj would help them keep their paths cleared for it them to travel through they would give them tribe what they needed to live. For the younger years of his life je worked in doing just that, but due to an encroachment of other things that dwelled in the sewers he needed to learn to fight. As time went on he became an accomplished warrior of his tribe and was awarded with a gun that they had stolen from a shipment of firearms being sent to to the capital to be given to the military. Eventually he got bored of living in the sewers and instead became a member of the myriad where he spent a few years working before setting out on his own. He has learned that the best way for a kobold such as himself to travel is to make sure to stay hidden and give gold to the right people.
(Sorry tried to put up an image of what I imagined him looking like we a gunslinger but not sure it worked...)
Background + Backstory: Noble: Sinsil is the adopted daughter of an ex-adventurer turned ironmonger. She learned to be a shrewd businesswoman along with studying the arcane arts and taking note of her father's tales. She has a knack for ancient magics (onomancy if available) and has set off to follow in her father's footsteps and seek her own fortune/reputation out from under his considerable shadow.
Zerron is an ex-criminal whose parents were killed during a raid while he was away. After a few years as a criminal, he broke up with them and left with firearms and gunpowder. Now he is searching for the one responsibility for his parents demise and being chased by his ex-mates.
How do you feel about the Legends of Runeterra partnered content?
Name: Sebastian Silvertongue
Race + Class: Variant Human + Rogue
Background + Backstory: (Charlatan)
Sebastian was born to some rather poor barkeeps in The Skew in Nicodranas. Lacking any sort of formal education, he took to the streets, learning the tricks of the trade from con artists, pickpockets, and street magicians, mixing elements of real magic with sleight of hand to dazzle his audience. His cons are as wild and varied as his imagination, whether he is selling a magical potion from a far off land that can cure any ailment, reading minds to guess a card, or simply dyeing that gentlemen’s fine bowler cap bright pink. He does try to avoid conning people in any real need, but he won’t feel too bad about slipping up and conning the wrong person. He has to eat too you know, and it is their fault for falling for it in the first place.
Recently Sebastian made the mistake of selling a bottle of local sewage water as a cure for the mumps the wife of Ignus, the Wharfmaster. Unfortunately for him, they caught on when she got violently ill instead of getting better. Sebastian skipped town, in order to make a new life for himself. He boarded the first ship he could find, wondering what the future held in store for him.
(sorry for the long backstory; I wrote it for a different campaign, so it only needed a couple small changes to adapt it to Wildemount).
Background + Backstory: Grinner - Keeping it short: Shayne may not be the best on the lute or the flute but he has a way with words and is a great storyteller. He was earning tips for his playing or his tall tales inside and outside of taverns since he was a snot nosed kid. One day a Grinner decided the kid could be more than just a good storyteller in a bar and recruited him to the cause...
Background + Backstory- Faction Agent Claret Order
Born in the Marrow Valley to a farmer's family, Beornrun carried in his blood and ancient family curse of Lycanthropy that often skipped generations. Unfortunately, before his family realized what had happened he turned and seriously injured two of his siblings....As soon as his mother recognized it, she sent him away to learn under the famed Claret Order, where he apprenticed as is still struggling to learn to control his curse.
background and story: haunted one kilshan was only just a youngling when his hole clan was killed by Goliath’s and they made him watch as they chopped his mother’s head of and seeks vengeance and new people to call family
Backstory: Ricardo was born to the slave of a powerful wizard, Xaltotum. When he showed aptitude at magic, the Xaltotum began to train him. Following an argument with his mentor over the freeing of his mother, Ricardo ran away. He is hoping to gain enough money to purchase both his mother's and his freedom.
Cade is a wanderer. He has traveled all over the world, from the seas of the coast, to the mountains and forests. He has even ventured into the remote deserts. He has a desire to see all of the land he can, and enjoys visiting towns to see what unusual animals they have in their zoos and pet shops.
Thank you, now closed!
