Greetings one and all! Welcome to the fabulous world of Voltairus Aurelio. The world is filled with vast and ever present danger, only kept in line by the nations that inhabit this land. Players are set to go into a wonderful academy that is specifically designed to train them into the best they can be, whether that be soldiers fighting to protect the world, or by being the best magic user around. The possibilities are endless.Yet be warned, as danger lurks behind every corner, and the world may need a band of heros to save them from a great and terrible danger.
Standard plot hook out of the way, this is an entirely homebrew campaign designed by yours truly, with the world of Voltairus Aurelio being set in a steampunkish environment that lacks the gods that built it. If you are familiar to the Ebberon setting, it is similar to that. Especially with how clerics will function. Otherwise, the world is a bit of a blank state to fill in with whatever someone desires, as I do want to make an immersive world with everyone involved.
I will also be the first to admit this campaign world is very similar to the one from RWBY. The story is going to be following similar beats to the RWBY story as well, but if you don't like it, we can make it better.
Characters would be starting at level 1. Any form of UA or content published by Wizards of the Coast would be permitted, excluding more modernized weapons and material. I am also allowing homebrew, and have two Google Drive folders containing hombrew I have found and liked, as well as a folder for homebrew I have come up with. If you want to add your own, feel free to ask. It will have to come through me and the member of the logistics council. Maybe some of the others as well.
Roleplaying is going to be done via text, but there will be a voice channel you can hop in on and talk with whoever is in there. Combat maps will be done on a site called Mipui. This might change over time though, as we might find something better to use.
You do not need any of the material or anything, beyond providing the UA or Wizards material you are wanting to use that has not been liscensed. There will be a website to find basic information, and I am providing everything from general world descriptions to a blank character sheet.
I am going to note two major things:
1. I am not accepting any character until after everyone involved does a Session 0. You can be formulating ideas until then, but don't expect them to pass. This is just so that we have variety between the characters and we don't have to worry about everyone feeling the same, or the team lacking some cohesion, like not having a healer or something.
2. I am open to having both new players and experienced players alike. Do be warned that some things are going to be different, such as a few modifications to classes, races, and features. There is also, again, a lot of homebrew, and we are using a slightly altered Spell Point method of casting. If you are wanting to still participate, there will be plenty of people who can help you navigate everything and get the character you want to play.
If you are wanting to join, or have any questions, then feel free to pm me. Make sure to include your discord in the message if you are wanting to join.
Hello! This sounds very interesting, I'd love to chat about joining your campaign over Discord :) I am a beginner/intermediate player, I know most of the rules of D&D and wouldn't require much help, just haven't played in a bit. I am open and willing to play almost any class, and one of my favorite aspects of the game is role-playing an interesting character. I love coming up with detailed and intricate backstories and having an immersive and interesting world to play around in. If you'd like to chat about me getting involved in this campaign, please DM me on Discord. My name is Lyra#3814
This is a very interesting sounding campaign, and I would love to join. I'm experienced enough that I wont need guidance, but I still check as to how each spell/ability works a lot. I mostly play spellcasters, although I am open to playing just about any class. I enjoy a good amount of roleplay and puzzles, as mindless fighting gets really boring lol. If you're okay with me joining, my discord is Randomly Generated Idiot#8173.
P.S. If i've watched RWBY does it spoil the campaign, or are they just similar?
Thank you all for posting. I'll send you all a friend request here in a second.
The world is similar, and some of the story beats will probably be the same. But it won't spoil too much, as I am hoping to change some of the less interesting points, or remove some plot points so the story makes better sense. Like for instance, I don't plan on us having the vital festival. Not cause it was bad (in fact its one of my favorite parts) but I just don't see it making much sense in this setting.
