The Shrouded Isles is a Homebrew Exploration themed module set in the world of Aeras, A forever changing landscape where continents rise and fall within mere decades of time! The terrain of Aeras was left unstable due to an arcane denotation that happened approximately 700 years ago. Now is in an ever-shifting flux, islands going missing overnight, mountain ranges suddenly piercing through the land leaving nowhere safe to call home. So instead the peoples of Aeras have taken to life at sea, living on large moveable fort like ships called Dwellers. These vessels can carry thousands of people across the sea at a time and are known as the few safe havens of Aeras as those stuck on them hope to one day escape from this unnatural hell. However as much as those who wish to simply sail away from these accursed lands want to, they can never escape, as the one part of Aeras that never shifts is the mountain range known as the Shroud. Its peaks pierce the skies above and any attempt to drill through or go under the range has been futile so far as the range is protected by near endless numbers of powerful monsters. So as we pick up our story you few lost souls find yourselves standing upon the deck of the ship known as the Red Herring; a smaller transport vessel bound for an island called Paradise Peak. Also known as the one Island that mysteriously only shifts once every ten years. This is the home to what is known as the new generation, or those strong enough or wealthy enough to have cemented their own little safe havens from this strange world. Here is where most adventures come to a relaxing end on a beach safe from all harm, or if you are one of those bold enough to take on the adventures this world has to offer where new beginnings can be made. A position of power known as a Vassal has emerged from the adventurers guild, A group of adventurers who work underneath a powerful, wealthy, and experienced adventurer known as a Sponsor. In exchange for risking your lives to better society, go on missions to retrieve resources, quell pirate activity, and take down any threats to allied peoples you will be granted not only your own safe haven in Paradise Peak, but enough gold to last a lifetime and the training and knowledge to become the next great generation of adventurers. To prove yourself worthy of this consideration a festival is being held to test all those who wish to enter Vassalship, a grand celebration to enter in a new age of adventurers! Will you be the one to join us?
Now if any of my little summary grabbed your interest lets talk game details:
Friday Nights
8pm EST Weekly game
Dnd 5e (Homebrew setting of course)
Homebrew subclasses can be talked about but no homebrew classes
18+ game (sorry but I prefer to have a level of maturity at my table and we will be touching on serious topics in this campaign)
We will be using Roll20 for Visuals and Discord for calls/Video
Disclaimer: We do put on our cameras every so often for major in game moments although it is not required of you it is encouraged to see all of your lovely selves during the session. I will always have mine on to better help express characters, do bits, and help make those feel comfortable doing so as well
Can use either irl dice or online, I trust my players to not cheat. Don’t take that for granted.
We got pirates, we got lawless zones, we got an unexplored world that has no map, We got magic, we got dragons, we got pirates, we got guns, we got Guild Systems, and of course we got a long term campaign with some amazing rp in store!
This will be a slower pace then most campaigns in terms of leveling up, however to spice things up while you all wait for those numbers to go up I will be adding in my own item advancement system. Which will allow players to unlock a new feature, minor ability, or spell whenever you complete a hidden task set to unlock them. This will be personalized to you as a player not just your class to allow you to get the optimal experience of what you would like to see for a character arc, development of both mind and body instead of hey I just learned fireball overnight winky face, and allow for a less rushed style of gameplay that still keeps that sense of self and diversity amongst your fellow players.
If you aren’t particularly into rp this may not be the game for you! I respect anyway you like to play, but I aim to immerse my players and make them feel like their choices matter, their talking to real people not just npc with two lines of dialogue, and for each of you to be able to tell your stories to and with each other and get to learn about yourselves and the world in depth. But if any of that interests you and you read through the entirety of this then please dm me on discord to set up a brief interview to see if your what we are looking for in a player @Dom#4618
Am at work right now, but yeah I would be interested in possibly joining in on the fun. If still have a opening I will try to message later tonight after work.
This sounds very cool. I am UK based so not sure if this will hinder anything for you. I am looking to join a group as I have been interested in playing and think it would be fun; love the rp idea of the game. my discord is Jacob2407#3191
if you have any spaces left we could chat about it
