[Homebrew] [5e] [Free] Looking for 5 players to play campaign

This is a completely free campaign btw.
"Remnants of a Broken God"

The known world of Kaiynashiir was one once ruled by an overzealous empire of peoples who went by the name of the Sothac. Their final efforts before their ruin paved the way for all future planar magics. However, in doing so they tampered with the weave in a massive way, which invoked the wrath of the queen of gods and goddess of magic, Izmera. 

 After freeing the peoples enslaved by the Sothac and teleporting them to safe ends of the land, she did something forbidden in the realm of gods. She sank the mainland of the Sothac empire beneath the depths of the seas, effectively genociding the peoples that were the Sothac. It is believed by all that after her return to the heavens she was exiled by the gods who performed a mutiny. A growing minority, however, believes that she was not merely exiled but instead had her soul fractured into pieces, of which the fragments were scattered across the prime material plane.

You are among that growing minority. Whilst the majority may believe what you’re hunting is nothing more than a mere fever dream, you have reason to believe these fragments exist, and are obtainable. Evidence for their existence is only growing by the day. You find yourselves in Xernis, an island nation off the coast of the continent of Pathuron, searching for a place known as Godface Waterfall believing that to be the location of the first fragment.

About the Game

This is an entirely homebrew campaign I have designed to take place in my homebrew setting of Kaiynashiir. It is called Remnants of a Broken God, and I intend to utilize a few homebrew modules on my end, both a module allowing players to run to level 30, and a module allowing players to upgrade combat gear.

Houserules

• Readied Actions can only be used when in active combat

• Not a rule, but clarification, Nat 1's and Nat 20's aren't autofails or autosuccesses, but if you still succeed or fail after adding your modifier it still counts as a crit fail or crit success

• Death Saves do not critically fail

• Homebrew, Unearthed Arcana, Multiclassing, and Dunamancy are allowed but please run it by me first

• Potions can be taken but not administered as a bonus action

• Add Max Damage to the normal damage roll for critical hits

• Flanking confers a +2 bonus to hit instead of advantage

Setting Details

Obviously I can’t detail an entire setting in a short post, so I’ll give a brief overview with highlights on the cool parts.

Zynthra 

A continent that was pulled over into the prime material plane directly from the feywild when the Sothac attempted to close the gaps between the inner planes enough for direct travel. However over the years the innate magic of the feywild has been lost to most of the land. 

The Newild

This is a country within the continent of Zynthra ruled by a tyrannical archfey who runs the country through kraterocracy. Due to the archfey’s presence some of the feywilds magic has been retained in this specific plot of land. 

Pathuron

A continent full of bountiful nature and natural phenomena. It is believed to have been blessed by the goddess of nature herself, Kitune. Many countries on this continent compete with those in Zynthra for the title of academic capital of the world. 

Godspear Peaks

A strange array of mountains that are said to stand so tall that they could spearfish the gods out of the heavens themselves. It is said that giants have been seen lurking around the premises of this strangely circular mountain formation. 

Raghul

A continent which has a shared ideal of family, resulting in the countries of this continent constantly being at war with one another due to an array of reasons, some of which including petty feuds. 

The Drakemaw

An inactive volcano located near the dead center of Raghul rumored to be home to a kingdom of chromatic dragons ruled by a draconic king. 

Bastel

A continent mostly dominated by infertile land, with some exceptions. The infertility of the land is caused by two different factors, some of the land is infertile for natural reasons, and some of which because of necromancy sucking the life straight out of the land. The vast majority of the countries on this continent have to either resort to diplomatic trade or piracy on the high seas to survive. 

Religion

I am running a custom pantheon of gods, however the forgotten realms pantheon is also viable in this setting. Though the majority of people do not worship that pantheon anymore, there are some who try to keep it alive as it is an artifact of the cultures that existed before the Sothac came. 

Character Creation

We are going to be using Standard Array for stats: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. As well we are starting at 3rd level. Its probably a good idea to have a backup character sheet, however, for battle-maps and main character sheets we will be using Roll20. Any homebrew races or classes are allowed as long as you run them by me, however I am not looking to upset the balance of the game too much more than it already is by the homebrew modules I am using, so if you present me with a homebrew I would be willing to work on you with it to rework it to a more balanced version. I allow anything from Matt Mercer's works as well as everything within the Wizards of the Coast’s books, including Tasha’s. 

About Me

My name’s Devin, I’m a 19 year old male and I have a strong love of creativity and ideas, as well as roleplaying. I enjoy having a good time with other people and telling interesting stories through the art of improv that is D&D. I have been playing D&D 5e for 4 years, this being my first experience with a long-term campaign, though I have run short-term campaigns in the past. I really enjoy players that get into their characters and take the game somewhat seriously as I think that’s a big part of the fun. I have been wanting to run a large-scale campaign like the one I have constructed for this post's use for a long time. I've always enjoyed writing, especially with the challenges and confines that D&D brings to the table. I have a strong belief in character backstory integration, and I love players who give me lots of stuff to work with. 

Expectations

This section is regarding my policies as a DM for D&D 5e. I understand life happens sometimes, but if you’re going to be late or you can’t show up to session please make me aware as soon as you are able and are aware. If you want to swap out your character I will work with you on doing so but only come to me with the details the week before you want to swap the character out, but I ask you swap out characters very minimally as this campaign will be involving backstory integration in the form of character arcs. Character relationships are allowed both between PC’s and NPC’s, however if they are to happen between PC’s both parties have to agree on it, as well any character relationships must make semblance of sense to happen(I’ve had players force it just because they are dating irl, which isn’t fun). I expect players to keep everything that happens in character separate from everything that happens out of character, if your characters are squabbling don’t take that outside of the characters and vice versa. If it is necessary for me to step in an resolve an out of character conflict, make me aware, and I will do my best to do so. I am open to critique, but I ask that you keep it constructive, fair, and reasonable when giving it to me as a DM, though I ask that you do so outside of session. Another thing is that I want players who take the game seriously, by that I mean people who don’t make joke characters for the sake of a joke or annoying everyone else. I’m fine with in character goofing off, but please keep the times in which it is done reasonable. If you wish to have a character with a jokey gimmick, all I ask is that the entire character is not a joke. As well all talk of politics, in or out of session, is not allowed in any capacity. I want to create a friendly environment for my players to be able enjoy, which discussion of politics does not create.

Requirements

You must have a good microphone because we will be using discord voice chat for the sessions, so it is required that you either make a discord account for this campaign or already have one, same goes for Roll20. A webcam is unnecessary but feel free to use it as long as you are not displaying anything inappropriate. As well you must be able to attend sessions weekly. If you want to join the adventure please post an application using the following format below:

Hi my name is Noble. My pronouns are he/him.

I am 17. I've been playing d&d for 3 or 4 years i love a good adventure and down for some hilarious role play content. 

I've usually played homebrew content my longest campaign was ½ year. I loved play smart when it comes to combat and ensure the safety of my team with my characters strength. 

My characters name would be Urg he would be a Goliath barbarian. A gentle giant who loves a good cup of tea or ale. He would 2 handed weapons stating one handed weapons are for the weak. He prides himself on his strength and the protection of his friends

 A bit about yourself: I'm a parent of a three year old, first and foremost. I've been in love with tabletop for many years now, and RP longer than that. I'm not too used to talking about myself though; heh. But I think I get along pretty well with folks!

 Describe your experience/playstyle: I'm a bit of a forever DM. I've been running games for years, and my current campaign has been running for almost a year now. I love me some rp. I've been setting it so my player's characters are very involved in the story, and I love giving dms things to mess with my character with.

Character idea (if you have one):  I don't actually have one! I like to try and work with a dm to get a character together and see what the party is playing. I know that 5e doesn't really need specific classes, but I like to fill in roles not being used to try and avoid stepping on others toes on what they want to play.

Feel free to dm me here and I can give you my discord!

 A bit about yourself: I live in San Francisco, CA, and I am a hairstylist/ singer for a band called Psyvera. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and I love to go to the beach and go hiking.

 Describe your experience/playstyle: I love Role Playing.! I became obsessed with DnD at the start of the pandemic and have been playing ever since. I run a game for friends every monday and I play in a game on wednesdays. My favorite thing about DnD is the collaborative creativity and story telling interactions.! It's a chance to dive into a fantasy world and be completely immersed. Character creation is very fun for me as I love to create backstories, and experience character growth, as well as form a special bond with others in the group.

Character idea (if you have one):  I have multiple character Ideas, but one I would love to explore more is a Fire Genasi named Inferno. She is a rogue who discovers that she has latent magical abilities and becomes a multiclassed sorcerer. 

Here is my discord in case you want to chat through there.! heyheydisrayray#5973

Name:  Aleytia
I'm 25 years old and love reading writing and playing games I'm also a huge techie
Pronouns: she/her

I've been playing D&D for about 7 nearly 8 years and have been a role-player for an amazing14  I started player D&D on the version 2.5 slowly moving through the versions until 5e. I've DM'ed several games and am currently DMing a game for a few players. 

As a player I'm primarily a magic caster but I like multiclassing to melee classes I play a mix of homebrew and official content depending on how I feel and what mood I am for creating characters

Character idea (if you have one): I have several characters in various states of completion and character concepts however would like to talk to the DM for further details

Feel free to call me Jake, my pronouns are whatever you want to use, I’m comfortable with any pronouns, though I am genderfluid, and I am 17 as well as in EST time. I enjoy reading mostly fantasy and genetics and forestry are both interests of mine, and also enjoy going hiking and doing things outside. I have been playing DND for about 3 years and have played two 6 month campaigns and many one shots and shorter campaigns. I prefer to be a player but have some DMing experience and like to craft characters that are mostly for roleplaying but are not at a loss in combat. My current character ideas are either a Firbolg that is a druid in the Pathuron with a clan that protects a path up one of the Godspear peaks, possibly protecting the giants, and was sought to adventure in order to get the shards for the giants or good of the tribe. I was thinking that or a Sea elf who is a bard and kind of siren-like, brought to the journey in order to learn more of the land and to open their eyes to how people are after not having much interaction under the sea.

I hope you have a great campaign whether I get invited or not! Have a great day.

A bit about yourself: I'm a long-time DM with a love for roleplaying, I'd love to try out your world! I have access to all content, but can't share it since I'm also a DM for hire to bring in my income, I just need an outlet to be a player.

Describe your experience/playstyle: I've been playing for 7 years as a forever DM, and my playstyle revolves around a mix of roleplay and combat, and I love creating special characters that can connect to the world around them.

Character idea (if you have one): It can be difficult to play a character with my knowledge as a DM, however I feel that I have something in mind (though it can be changed if need be). I won't share everything (for privacy purposes against other players), but I have a winged feral tiefling blood hunter named "Beast". His playstyle is based around a balance; a roleplaying aspect from being a very demonic-looking tiefling that is a great gladiatorial combatant, who is also calm and collected, hence his intelligence, and his Blood Magic came from consuming the Hunter's Bane via a necessity when his father figure gave it to him to help him control the lycanthropy he was born with.

I'd love to try this. If I get accepted, my discord is PuzzlingCipher#8923, and I have plenty of unique characters to try out if Beast wouldn't fit in.

Name: Bryce

Pronouns: He/Him

Age: 25

 A bit about yourself: I got into D&D while in college and got hooked on the popular D&D actual play content (Critical Roll, Adventure Zone, Dimension 20). I am pretty chill and try to keep things that way, and I did a lot of improv and creative writing in college so I am a good "yes, and" guy.

 Describe your experience/playstyle: I am heavy on RP, comes from the improv, so that is mostly what I focus on. I don't try to make my characters unviable but I might make a Rogue proficient in persuasion if I think it fits the backstory. Like I said, pretty chill and like to keep it that way as to avoid conflict, mostly focused on supporting the group and their rolls.

Character idea (if you have one): I have a pirate character named Adrian Marlowe who sold out his best friend to save the rest of his pirate crew from authorities after a raid went bad. Marlowe was banished from the pirate life and marked for death by the pirate world. Marlowe takes the job to prove his loyalty and get back to being a pirate. I can do more or less depending on how much you would want.

Age:21

Bio:Massive nerd in many aspects beside dnd. I also dabble in writing but keep that hush-hush.

Experience:been playing for almost three years, and dm'ing for 1. I enjoy RP, and once I'm in character I try not to break it. Bit of a power gamer but I can easily keep it in check if you don't like it.

Character ideas: I have a barbarian idea I have been wrestling with, and a rogue idea. I can play anything though, it takes me a few hours to bang out a fresh character and story, than a week or two to iron out details.
