WHAT IS A LIVING CAMPAIGN?
In this instance the OLC or Ohr Living Campaign is an online living campaign centered on using the programs Discord & Roll20.net to create a living, breathing world where multiple game masters and players can come together to build a shared universe. Players can create characters and take them to multiple games to go on different adventures or explore dark dungeons as they present themselves. Always keep in mind however that actions have consequences and those consequences can affect the world around you!
WORLD OF OHR AT A GLANCE:
THE CURRENT STORY OF OHR | CAMPAIGN PRIMER
Yet hope remains.
Tir’Brannon, one of the grandest human kingdoms stood the tide. The exiles from the Stone Confederacy reinforced their borders, mass migrations of the free march dwarves and the human free cities of the Southlands. This granted them precious time to construct marvelous defenses and magnificent cities. The coming twilight, a shared foe allowed them to lend their wisdom and united efforts to repel the Dread Shadow. It has been thirty years since the sun returned to Ohr, this is the age of heroes, an age of knights, savage barbarians, dark dungeons, profane temples dedicated to forgotten gods, and the looming threat of the return of the everlasting night of the Long Dread. It is time to rise from the ashes of the old world and forge a new destiny.
WHAT MAKES THIS CAMPAIGN DIFFERENT FROM THE REST?
Adventurers are Rare
Adventuring is not an occupation, rather it is a side effect of fulfilling a more pressing need - saving the town, completing a quest from a lord, or finding a lost princess. Ohr is a dangerous location and player's start off as a level one. Chances are you don't have the experience to claim that you have traveled too far from the village you were born in. You are a person in world much larger than yourself, filled with monsters, people, cities, factions and other players. You're a cut above the rest, but you aren't the main character.
Magic is Uncommon
Magic is well, magical. Cantrips are more common than other true types of spells, but anything above that becomes rare very quickly. Magic is seen as a source of darkness and mystery in the world. It's dangerous. Something to potentially be feared at all times.
Magic Items are Very Rare
There is no such thing as a "magic shop" in this setting. Sometimes it is possible to find someone who sells potions or other magic-like concoctions but even those are limited and somewhat rare. Magic items are truly special, each of which has a unique story attached to the item. In addition, magic items are always gifted with a "Name". A name defines it as something greater than a normal weapon found in the world. A name gives something power and meaning.
EPIC 10 | LEGENDARY 11+
Experience points are handled differently in our campaign, they are used as a currency. You spend XP points to level your character and the amount of experience to level from 1-10 is the standard amount that it would require for you to reach those levels in the base game of D&D 5th Edition. Once you attempt to level beyond that however, levels 11-20 are exceptionally difficult to obtain. This isn't to limit the players, but to limit the world around them. Class levels are uncommon among the peasants and NPCs that you meet in the world.
Custom Races & Classes - Low Magic
The World of Ohr campaign setting has custom races and classes. We have a variety of different human, dwarven and elven cultures to choose from. There are a limited number of monstrous and more unique races to choose from as well. Our classes are based on the Adventures in Middle of Earth 5th Edition game from Cubicle 7 with a number of tweaks to make them unique to our setting. There is only ONE magic class 'The Hedge Mage' and it has limited slots, at any given time there can only be 3 Hedge Mages on the server.
