Looking for players for a little experiment/long-term campaign if it turns out to be a success.
To simplify an earlier version of this post: The game will be played “live,” as in not scheduled. It will require players to have a mobile device and update their dialogue/actions as available. My hope is collectively we’ll contribute small amounts of time throughout the day to RPing and in that way the campaign will (albeit, slowly) march forward without the need for a scheduled time where we sit down for four hours.
Traditional games can go on for hours and are generally preferable, but let’s face it, life happens and we don’t always have the luxury of getting together. This server will be specifically for people who want to play but can’t commit more than small amounts of time to participate. Hopefully it’ll work out, and we’ll spin this into a long-term campaign I have planned which will be shaped greatly by player choices and actions.
Mechanically-speaking, it’ll be a little like Zork. The whole thing is text-based with rudimentary Roll20 maps thrown in for visualization during combat, or as requested to help map where players are relative to certain objects, doorways, etcetera. Most of the exposition and dialogue is going to be strictly text, since voice chat is kind of a non-starter if you’re going to be playing live effectively all of the time.
We’ll start with a one-shot and see how things go. If it doesn’t work out, we can either plan to see if we have a day we can actually get together, or say that we tried and look for other groups. That being said, I’m super hoping it works out.
There is actually a server on Discord currently with the same open concept called Terra. I came up with this idea a few days ago, before I discovered someone already started a game with the core idea, but this will be a more limited experience with less players, centered around a single DM + a group of no more than 5. I’m hoping that with a smaller sample group, we can make the experience a little more interpersonal and have fun playing off each other as we get to know each other’s characters.
We already have one entry, so there are 4 slots open. Message or reply to this thread if interested with;
Name/Nickname Character's Name, Class, Backstory Experience with 5e
My character is Sage Everwood, a Ranger, she is a wood elf from noble background, who is shunned by her family due to her beliefs and subsequent actions that all people are equal.
I have no experience with dnd in general, but am looking to get into a campaign that is flexible such as this one. I am currently playing a real meet up 8 player campaign with my other charcter Willow. (I basically made the same character twice, but choose Sage for online games, and Willow for the IRL game, to differentiate where I am in each campaign.)
I love the idea of text to play, but am also open to do a voice chat, if we ever have the chance to do so. My discord is GarnetHalo #7078.
Hey, My name is Yanick, I'm new to DnD and this seems like a great start to get some experience without committing too much time, my Discord tag is Carbasi#1193.
My Character is a Dragonborn Monk called Otibor Nyarnik with the 'Haunted One' background because his clan was attacked, which left him separated from it.
I'm European (GMT+1) so I might not be available in the evening.
I've been playing since the AD&D days, but have less experience with 5e apart from being obsessed with reading rules/theory crafting characters. I've been looking for a campaign that has this level of participation so that I can easily fit it into my day routinely.
My character is a Half Moon Elf Paladin named Vensys. Like Otibor in the above post, my character also has the Haunted One background due to the slaughtering of his family at birth.
My character is a Rouge Aasimar who goes by the name of Helelana. Her background is 'Criminal/Spy' due to an unfortunate run-in with the wrong crowd at a very young age.
I've had experience co-dming 5e campaign that lasted a year.
My Discord tag is Londonian#9722, and thank you for taking the time to consider me!
