Hello! I'm Alan, a writer, artist, husband and GM with 5 years experience looking to expand into the DMing market. I have ran sessions on many different systems (mostly Fire Emblem and D&D 5e) for different groups, and I have been creating stories since childhood. As such, I put a lot of weight into the story I tell along my players, so my campaigns are always heavily roleplay-focused. The stories are centered around the players and their characters, not just my worlds; so there is plenty of development and character relationships going on.
About the setting
This will be a sandbox-style campaign set in Ilyore, a homebrew world where the wars between gods have ravaged the land and reduced their numbers to merely a handful, but these remaining gods still retain enough power to give strength to their worshippers and return to the land to bear children with mortals. Mortals have waged war against one another for a long time, and the land is still recovering from the scars of strife. Adventurers, mercenaries and craftsmen roam the land to sell their services to the highest bidder, taking advantage of all the new opportunities the world of Ilyore offers the brave.
Characters can come from a variety of backgrounds, Ilyore offers enough options to build the kind of character you desire. As you progress, you will be able to choose how your character affects the world and its inhabitants, your actions generating a ripple effect that will mark your place in history.
Style of play
The style of play will be text only, as I understand that a lot of people are held back by shyness, wanting silence, inability to speak or liking their own music way too much. Not to mention that many of us feel inadequate trying to imitate the voice or accent of a character completely unlike ourselves. Or maybe you have all the spirit but a bad mic, or a bad connection. Well, this will pose no problem for us!
Theme and content
Session zero will serve as the groundwork for whatever sensitive matters you wish to leave out of the game. However, if it so happens that you forgot to mention a topic and remember it at a later date, you can always talk to me to arrange it. Yes, this includes having said topic happening at the moment. I prize everyone's comfort, and stories can be told a number of ways to the same effect without including certain topics.
If you happen to be too shy or uncomfortable to speak openly about sensitive topics, you can DM me and we will arrange it privately and quietly.
Day and time of session
I have not yet set a specific moment for sessions, but I have a lot of time available. I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, either at 1PM GMT or 7PM GMT, with sessions lasting 3 to 4 hours. Sessions can have from 3 to 5 players, and will start once the minimum quota is filled at the earliest available date (according to chosen time). This can of course be discussed, these are simply my ideal times.
Payment method
The per-session cost of the game is 9 USD. However, since these are my first paid games, the first 2 months will be reduced to 7 USD per session. After that, the price will raise back to $9.
Discounts? Of course! If you bring a friend, both you and your friend will pay $1 less, up to a 2$ discount for two friends. If you refer a third person, that person will have de 1$ discount, but no further. A fourth person entails the discount for all five. Summarized:
Just you: $9
You + 1 friend: $8 to both
You + 2 friends: $7 to all three
You + 3 friends: $7 to three of you, $8 to one of you
You + 4 friends: $7 to all five
If you have a friend who wants to play but cannot exactly pay for the session, you are free to pay their share.
Payment will be done via Paypal before each session, with refunds in case you cannot make it. Partial refunds can be discussed if you could only stay for part of the session.
Site
We will be playing via Roll20, with a Discord server to organize future sessions and other matters.
