Game: D&D 5e

Group type: Online (Discord, DnDBeyond)

Experience: Preference for veterans, especially in terms of RP skills, but willing to teach you if you are newer to 5e mechanics

Location/Timezone: US, EST

Schedule: Every Friday from 8pm to 12am EST; high attendance rates are mandatory. I anticipate this campaign lasting at least a year (going all the way to level 20).

Roles sought: Player

Game style: Intense immersive roleplay, vast complex homebrew fantasy setting with a lot of lore, encounters that range from exploration, to puzzle solving, to potentially difficult combats. The balance between these components is similar to Critical Role, for those who watch. Note: adding players mid-campaign.

Axiom is a world steeped in a complex history involving both itself and other realms. Dragons, mind flayers, wizards, and fey all have played major roles in its history, which has been quite violent in recent years.

• The Underdark (which is another dimension, not just underground) has been completely taken over by mind flayers, and the surviving drow have become refugees on Axiom.
• The Feywild was destroyed by a magical superweapon, causing the surviving fey creatures to also become refugees to other realms including Axiom.
• Tiamat, the goddess of chromatic dragons, declared her intention to have her draconic children conquer Axiom in her name. The resulting world war between chromatic dragons versus mortals, aided by metallic dragons and the clergy of Bahamut, ended violently when the archmages of Axiom, known as the Arcane Authority, betrayed their metallic allies and committed a genocide against all of dragonkind and their allies, culminating in the death of Bahamut himself.
• The few survivors of the genocide started a revolution to oust the treacherous mages, led by one of Bahamut’s last surviving priestesses. The remaining dragons are in hiding, permanently trapped in humanoid bodies yet yearning to touch the skies once more.
• Tiamat’s plans backfired with her loss of power, resulting in her being consumed by the fallen angel Zariel, who is now the goddess of Avernus known as the Burning Angel, and has used her divine powers to spread her following far and wide to recruit champions in her wars against the Abyss and Underdark.
• Now, a few years after the revolution, Axiom is still scarred by the tumult that has turned the entire world upside down, caused mass casualties in world wide wars, turned former friends blades against each other, and seen a regime change. In a world that is scrambling to maintain the most tense of peacetimes, what shadowy forces may be taking advantage of the moment?

Some other roleplay aspects to be aware of:

• Romance between PCs and PCs, or PCs and NPCs, is allowed but not required.
• Character creation is a big deal; I will work hard to help align your concept with the world, flesh out as many details as possible. You may assume that there will be parts of your character’s story that you are not yet aware of and will unfold in game. I do not consider it appropriate to hide aspects of your character’s backstory from me, or to invent big things without consulting me, but as long as you’re working with me I’ll be happy to work with to create an elaborate narrative.
• Starting at a high level (the party started at level 9 and is currently at level 11), so multiclassing is viable. However, whatever build you come up with I expect you to be able to play both in & out of combat without handholding. I will teach you how things can work mechanically, but it is up to you to ensure your character’s survival & success in overcoming challenges or dangerous scenarios.
• I’m ok with quite a bit of homebrew, and do a bit myself, so if you want something that isn’t baseline tell me and I’ll make it work :)

Some requirements I have for everyone:

• I need you to be comfortable with stepping up as a roleplayer. You should be both proactive & reactive with conversations, both with other PCs and with NPCs.
• Take the story seriously. There are moments of comedy of course, but this is a campaign with a storyline I treat seriously that has some dark moments. E.g. no joke/troll characters.
• I need you to be consistently high attendance. If your situation means that you cannot set aside this block of time every week (barring emergencies) and consistently be there, then this is not the campaign for you.
• I need you to be committed to playing as your character during the sessions. I’m not expecting Meryl Streep, but I want you to make an effort to embody who your character is when we are playing together.
• Please no toxicity. We are an inclusive LGBTQ+ friendly group.

Hey CosmicWarder, sent in an application. 

Sent in mine, have to say, I'm intrigued by the history you've created, and how my character would fit in with it! I think for some reason I included Strixhaven in the backstory (previous idea), that can be ignored.

sent! I love the concept and hope I can join!
