"His cape of starlight was blinding yet I could not pry myself from it's beauty. I have never seen a man so beautiful, its as if he was the night sky itself."
- Excerpt from the novel, Embrace of Night.
Hello Everyone, I'm Juice, and I'm about to graduate from college and have my summer free of classes. So I'm ready to run a new game! Below is the background to the world the game will be taking place in, a mystical Astral Demi-plane, the City of Stars, Astrahl. I hope you enjoy reading, after the background and Plot Hook I'll have some information on what kind of players I'm looking for and my Discord for people to contact me.
Long ago our ancestors braved the Astral Sea from the Feywild. Refugees from the feywild and those simply traveling alongside the Fey on there journey to a new home, found their way to the Astral Plane, and it was here that they founded a Demi-plane. They created the plane as a fortress to keep out the Gith, Aberrations, and Monstrosities that roamed the Astral Sea. This is how Astrahl was made.
Astrahl, the city of Stars, is in an astral wonderland, a place of dreams. A large majority of the Demi-plane is this city, and it takes on many aspects of the Astral Environment it exists in. With streets made from stardust and buildings built with resources from the Astral Wilderness. However, it was not just the environment and buildings that began to develop signs of the Astral influence, but the people as well. Some elves diverted into a new sub species, the Astral Elves. Some Tieflings began to lose their physical horns, gaining spectral more ethereal projections of horns. These beings were beginning to form into new creatures over time, and it was all due to a substance necessary for life in Astrahl, the Silver Dew. This substance is given to the people of Astrahl every few years, though to the noble houses and deities of Astrahl the Silver Dew is a luxury they often indulge in. This substance allows the people to continue to exist in the odd conditions of the Astral space, however enough silver begins to mutate and change a person, especially when taken in large doses. A silver mutation is not a bad thing, but often seen as a status symbol. Because the noble houses drink the Silver more often than the common person, they mutate a significant rate eventually stagnating at a form unrecognizable to mortality.
Now that you know a little about the background of Astrahl, here is the hook everyone will be starting under.
The threat of attacking Gith has been more and more prominent for roughly a month now. The Moth Military forces have been struggling to hold them back as a large portion set out on a voyage to a possible Nautiloid holding an Elder Brain. It's been a week since you have gotten your hands on a Decanter of Silver Dew. This item on market price could easily sell for 7,000 Silver Dollars, though for some reason you feel attached to this decanter. Whether you already drank the silver or have just held on to it, for whatever reason you have yet to part with it. It may have something to do with the dreams. These visions you have had since getting the Decanter in your hands. There is a building, large with a spiraling black orb on it, a large bright sign out front reads "The Black Hole", it's always the only thing you remember seeing in these dreams. Though as if you have been there long ago, the faintest memories of it creep into your conscious knowledge. You know, as if you have always known, that this can be found in the Crescent district. The first night you were given this knowledge, odd as it was it was just a dream. Though between the week it had not stopped and with every dream it calls to you, beckons. When you close your eyes the darkness reminds you of the spiraling orb and your mind screams out in a desire to be there. Whether willing or not, you are answering a call of summons.
Thank you for reading about my world! Now we can get on to the technical side of things. I have a few personal rules to dm by, as well as just some context for how this will all go.
Time zones, Game time, Game day -
I am in CST right now, I am not opposed to people in different time zones so long as they are reasonable - dming for someone across the globe is hard.
Game time is tentatively going to be at 8pm CST and will probably run until midnight or eleven(3-4 Hours play time)
Game Days WILL be Thursday - this is not changeable atm.
Games will be held on Discord in a server made for the campaign.
Games will be voice call - sorry text people :/
Rules -
If you are under 16 and reading this, please do not respond. I encourage you to seek local D&D opportunities with your friends - the internet is sketchy and I'd feel more comfortable dming for people 16+.
I will not tolerate people coming into my game with an expectation to play something entirely unrelated. Please do not come in with a character built around a totally different idea than what my world has to offer, this is for both our sakes. This world has a very specific vibe and niche, it is hard to write things outside of that niche and shove it into the greater story I have planned.
Do not come to me with pre-made characters. I do not want to dm for a character you have ran through seven other dms. I am more than happy to help you find a character that fits into this world. You will have more fun in this game if your character is actually built for this game.
Don't be a freakazoid - pretty please - don't go out of your way to make others uncomfortable for your own enjoyment. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated. Additionally to this, if someone else in the game makes you uncomfortable please bring it to my attention, it will get dealt with in a nondescript and simple manner and I will make sure the issue doesn't come back to you.
I do a brief interview to try and get to know everyone and figure out who I want for the game. All interviews are personal and conversational, I don't have any concrete questions I ask to every single person we just play it by ear.
The Most Important Rule. I, and others, want to be your friend. Please know that I would like to be able to talk and communicate with everyone like friends. D&D is a team game so please don't come into this without having an open mind for friendship.
Be mindful to every ones comfort - if people don't like the graphic nature of a finishing blow you do or if you want to be a stereotypical sexy time bard - just know when things are too much - I will cut you off if I feel like things are getting weird.
I think that is all - if more things come up I will address them later.
I have deity, race, and notable organization handouts to those who are accepted later! But right now here is a link to a pinterest board - this board accurately displays the vibe I am trying to go for. https://pin.it/3EC1aoXkY

Hello Juice, I've been RPGing for about 30 years and most recently been on the DM side of the game and would love to be a player again. I would love to join.
Heyo, this sounds sick and I'd love to join, im in another time zone but avaliable Thursdays CST. My discord it .tg93, sent a friend request via discord.
Howdy hey, this sounds fun and would love to possibly join. I am CST myself, but time is a lil iffy as I am a nightshift creature. If time is negotiable I'm happy to see what works with you and others.
My discord is Mothgod if you wanna shoot me a dm ^-^
Btw, I'm 22 with 6-7yrs os experience, and a mildly aggressive with drawing campaign art lol.
I wouldn't mind joining! I love playing DnD, and I really do miss being in a game. Im off work on Thurdays so that is usually a good day for me. Plus I'm a night owl! Your 8pm is my 7pm which also works out because Im typically in my house and chilling by then. Im older at 35 but still young at heart. My Discord is Pokestoppapito #7738
Hello! If there is still room, I would love to join! I just turned 30, and I’ve been playing a bit for about 5 years now. I’m also in CST, so that time would work perfectly for me. I hope to hear from you!
