I am running a Ravnica campaign for some newbies. I have an idea on how to allow them to join guilds in-character during Session 0, but want to test it.
I ask players bring characters with no backgrounds - mechanical or lorewise. This campaign is what creates background. Just have a class and a philosophy in mind.
You need no knowledge of Ravnica - in fact, I encourage you joining if you don’t know the system. I need an unbiased look. If you do have experience with the setting, try to look at it in this perspective.
Posting A. to bring this back up to page 1 and B: to share guidelines on picking races. While I allow any race, some are more recommended than others:
Highly encouraged - Human, Elf (nature-loving and intellectual), Centaur (warrior-protectors of nature), goblin (crazy but highly motivated), Loxodon (peaceful elephant people defending order), Minotaur (wild warriors), vedalken (law-loving small blue people)
Can be accommodated for - Lizardfolk (cold and calculating lizard people), dwarf (stout and proud laborers), gnome (small and curious), Tiefling (those descended from devils, not necessarily evil), aasimar (descended from angels, not necessarily good), warforged (constructs with souls made for a task), changeling (faceless and society-less people who can change their appearance), half-orc (descended from orcs, shares their wild instincts), tabaxi (cat people who like to steal), orcs, genasi (descended from elementals), shifter (kind of like werebeasts but more controlled
Not recommended- Dragonborn (descended from dragons in a strict social caste), firbolg (small giants and defenders of nature), Goliath (giants from mountains who believe in natural selection), kenku (raven people who can’t talk and like to steal), triton (strict and egotistic fish people), bugbear (monstrous mercenaries), hobgoblin (warlords), kobolds (cowardly dragon-looking monsters), yuan-ti (cunning snake-people venerating ancient gods), gith (enslaved by psychic rulers, they broke free), aarakocra (bird people)
I brought out a private message for you to see if you would like to, I am interested to play and look forward to see your reply. I also, have no knowledge of Ravnica, so this will be fun if I am picked.
Hello thread newcomers! We only need 1 or 2 more people to start, so join up!
Here’s how this is going to work. I’m going to move to a private thread which I will send in a PM to all players. By the time you all get it, I will have made the first narrative post. You will then have two days to post an action, which I will reply to ASAP. Then after the two days, I move on to the next main narrative post.
Also figure it’s worth mentioning I’m not planning on combat for this lil adventure, especially since the campaign is going to be more roleplay, social, and intrigue-based.
I’m interested in joining. I have an idea of a human variant sorcerer who’s philosophy is all about seeking order and knowledge. I’ll PM my character if you accept my request to join. Thank you!
Hey y’all,
I am running a Ravnica campaign for some newbies. I have an idea on how to allow them to join guilds in-character during Session 0, but want to test it.
I ask players bring characters with no backgrounds - mechanical or lorewise. This campaign is what creates background. Just have a class and a philosophy in mind.

I check Beyond excessively and will respond ASAP.
I‘m doing this by a post-at-will system: since I’m just testing a short adventure we won’t need a schedule or anything
Oh good, I know nothing about Ravnica lol
Rolled scores sucked hard, so I’ll just draw one up with point buy.
I’d like to play a mountain dwarf blood hunter? Is that alright?
Paladin - warforged - orange
I also know nothing and am interested

We have 4 now! Once I get the last one set up properly I will delete this thread and PM a new thread out.
