I'm a relatively new dm (I have previously done a couple oneshots), and I was looking to run a Magnus Archives themed game (spoilers beyond this point!). This would include players as either Avatars, or those who are aware of the supernatural (think section 31, or those who have previously encountered entities/Leitners). It's currently in the planning stage, but I wanted to put out a post to see if anyone would be interested!
Since these are quite nuanced classes, I will mostly be homebrewing the system; Avatars will be working a little like Warlocks (with extra spice), but there will also be rogue and fighter-esque classes depending on what the players want. All 'spells' will be avatar abilities, as well as feats specific to each entity, i.e. Desolation avatars having resistance to fire damage etc. I have a lot of ideas for what I want specific abilities to look like, but I would also love to do this with players in advance so that there's more character specific abilities. It may end up that i have to send blocks of descriptive text rather than having a particular set up for certain abilities, so I so ask that you be a little patient with me!
I have a basic idea for a storyline down in my head, but this will obviously adapt and change around characters and choices. Hopefully this would be a long term campaign, but I'm also open to running a mini one-shot for players to see how well the system works. The story would take place in London as it's a convenient place to set things up, as well as it just being an unspoken hotspot for the supernatural, but most other things like how the party gets together will largely be down to the group. The setting will also be modern, which is just something to bear in mind when making PCs.
I'm open to almost all suggestions for characters such as backstories or extra characters they wish to interact with, however, I do require that every PC is a human that may simply be missing their humanity (for continuity sake) Other than that, pretty much everything is on the table except for the very specific rule that I can't make another Distortion or Messiah work (sorry!). I also for the most part won't have any of the original Magnus characters just because I don't think I'd really do a good job with them (many themes will remain the same though) but this doesn't include Jurgen Leitner or Leitner's in general.
Personally, I am on GMT and would be looking to run on weekday evenings my time (preferably from around seven) thought this isn't set in stone and may be subject to change if scheduling difficulties arise.
If you're interested, or even just want some more information, please feel free to hit me up on discord at twin_2#7154 ! sorry for any spelling mistakes!
Hey I don’t know if you are still looking for people, but I’m a huge Magnus archives fan, DMed a couple campaigns, and played in quite a few and would love to join.
