D&D Beyond
Edinheim, the city of Northern Lights a beacon of corruption, innovation and turmoil.
Situated on a peninsula in the north on the continent Aldion, Edinheim is a fast-growing city where the morality of good and evil take the back seat to success and survival and with good reason. The city is in a constant struggle from the lowest of criminals to the very top of the sitting government: power and influence ever waxing and waning.
At the top, the noble class aims to secretly undermine the democratic-like council of districts in favor of returning to the old ways when they held all of the power. At street level, five major criminal organizations vie for the control of each district, recruiting smaller gangs into their ranks as cannon fodder all while the corrupt police are bribed to look the other way.
It is easy to climb the rungs of power in Edinhiem, but one must always remember, the higher you climb the harder you fall. Allies can make the climb smoother, and your enemies can as easily cut your ropes, so Trust only in those who fight by your side and Good luck, “Adventurer”.
This campaign is set in a semi modern world where magic has been harnessed for the convenience of all: Ley lines harnessed to provide the city with electricity, vehicles with engines powered by elemental planes. Everyday technology would be useless without magic to power it and yet the city continues to grow and evolve around advances in these technologies. However, despite these advancements, the tradition of open carrying your blade or magical tools has not faded from this modernized world.
This world is set in an 80s theme, so things like, Cars, televisions, neon lights, landline phones, beepers, radio, RC cars, and more exist in this world so never be afraid to ask if something exists. Firearms exist as well, but are heavily restricted and considered illegal without special permit but to have one will make you a target of multiple entities. It is also relevant to mention there is mention of drug-use, violence, adult situations, & mature content. 18+ only applications.
This game is currently finishing its first arc, and those who join will be joining three other players.
What I am looking for from players
Name
Player Age
Wizards Official Published Class, Race, Background, you are interested in playing
A soft background theme of your character.
You Understand Stats will be rolled when you enter the game? yes/no
What is Metagaming in your own words?
How long have you been playing TTRPGs?
Name: Junk (or Matt if you prefer real names)
Player Age: 26
Classes/Races/Backgrounds of Interest: Several different ones, but the big ones are conquest paladin, arcane archer fighter, college of sword bard, grave domain cleric, and totem warrior barbian, I tend to role fill in terms of party dynamics so I have no specific order of play for these. Races are Tiefling, Vhuman, Genasi (no specific subrace). Background would depend on class picked.
A soft background theme of your character: It would depend on the class/race I go with. Likely the pure fighting jobs would be probably low level cop that quit or something along those lines (not a lone wolf type/that guy I swear.) The bard would probably be something along the lines of a street performer trying to get by. The cleric I'm still working out something.
You Understand Stats will be rolled when you enter the game? Yes
What is Metagaming in your own words? Using real world knowledge to gain unforeseen advantages, or to use ooc knowledge to determine ic actions. For example, reading a book about enemy monsters so I'd know the stats/specific weaknesses to exploit, or perhaps my character acting on the knowledge of a secret that they weren't involved in a conversation to know about it.
How long have you been playing TTRPGs? On and off for several years, been on a bit of a hiatus since about 2 years ago and looking to get back into the game now. My last experience was 3e, but I've read up on 5e.
