A small village not far from the towering and bustling city of Sharn.
The Old Oak Tavern hasn't seen so many travelers in ages and the staff, clearly overwhelmed puts on a good front.
A large hammerhead shaped ship is being outfitted and prepared for what seems like a long voyage. Rumors abound on the destination of the ship but for now, it is all speculations.
On the deck, a large minotaur watches over the proceedings with a perpetual frown. A halfling stands at the entry port, all flashy color, and bright smiles.
"Wellcome to the Blade," he says in a surprisingly warm low voice. He is about to begin anew when he is interrupted by shouts and the sound of tumbling metal pieces. The halfling sights and rolls his eyes. He nods toward the minotaur.
" Would you please go check and see if the brothers haven't done any real damage to the helm? Master Cain will have our skins if we can't leave soon. I just got a few more spots to fill then it's off to the stars." he says chuckling to himself.
When the large creature moves he turns toward you once more...
"So, where were we ?"
Welcome to the Crimson Blade campaign. Here are a few things to know before applying.
I m a big fan of RP so if you just want to roll dice and hack monsters please don't apply this game won't be for you.
You will be starting level 2.
Roll stats and reroll ones once or use point-buy ( if you don't like the results.)
Use Eberron as a reference to create your character but if you have a clever idea don't hesitate to go and try.
I'll be using Milestone for experience
For initiative, I'll use group then enemies, or the other way around depending on the situation. It keeps the flow of the game smoother.
You'll have a say in the story, either using inspiration points or using Spoiler to make suggestions for your characters or others.
I'll be taking 5 or 6 crewmembers.
PM me with your character and background.
I'll be using WolrdAnvil to show you maps and keep what you all discover up to date.
I'll wait for a few days ( until Sunday ) before deciding so take your time coming up with something you want to play.
Awesome! Can you give a bit more details regarding the spelljamming in Eberron? Is the Blade "first of its kind" or is it quite a common sight? Is it connected to some specific kingdom/dragonhouse or is the crew supposed to be "mixed". Is the ship more like in some "official Navy" or more a freelancer (Ie. star trek's starfleet vs starwars Millenium Falcon). What is it's purpose (military/trading/exploration/...)?

Character idea i am considering right now (may change until sunday;-)): Warforged that have some specific assignent on the ship (leaning towards ships' doctor)
Multi-class: Monk 1/ Thief 1 *appears* to be a human female: Tyanna Nought
This would be my first attempt at Play-by-Post, if a newb is too much to take on I understand lol. I've been playing on DnD Beyond with Roll20 and Discord since Covid began, excellently run campaign, but I would like to try out more RP, and prefer writing to speaking!

Thanks for all the great applications.
Still have a few days before I make my decision.
Just a reminder that you should use the Eberron setting.
Warforge, Dragon Mark Houses, Shifters, Goblins, Artificer Class...
Good luck to those that entered. Looks like whoever gets in will have some fun with surprise teammates.
