Note: this campaign has already started, three groups are established but some vacancies have opened up so we’re accepting applicants. Group descriptions will be listed at the end but first, this is the original post:
Welcome aboard the SS New Beginnings, much like most others on this ship you've come to seek a new life. Like so many others you are on your way to the small continent of Gudsrocke. Three nations inhabit the land. to the east is the nation of Vytellsin, a barbaric nation inhabited by all sorts of races and peoples. and to the west is the nation of Maershaven, religious intellectuals that believe in the inferiority of in-human races. Vytellsin and Maershaven have had wars as long as history can remember, stuck between the two opposing nations is the peaceful country of Sulyatan. A war has begun yet again between Vytellsin and Maershaven, their wars are notorious however as both nations are incredibly rich. As such these wars are very profitable for those who seek a life here. You are on this ship seeking the war as well, for what reason, only you know! Perhaps you’ve come to join the fight in one of the nation’s militaries, maybe you seek work with one of the mercenary or merchant guilds or even to make your own, perhaps you’ve come to rob the foolish dream seekers that have forgotten to secure their wallets either way an incredible journey awaits.
Now for the important DM stuff
I’m looking for 4-6 players to join a new campaign I’m working on (you will be my Guinea pigs) some important notes
-I allow all WotC official content: except warforged, I have too many stories of OP/super not OP warforged that I’ve decided to not allow them, yes they are awesome; sorry
-Campaign will be in discord nothing against DnD beyond, I just know how to use the Avrae bot better
-I am wanting active players, no less than once a day. If you are gone for 24 hours I PM you, gone 48 hours and you will be botted until you tell me you’re back (I get it life happens but the story must go on, if it’s something you know ahead of time, let me know and we’ll figure it out)
-I love homebrew, I have two homebrew races (with variants) that can be used for this campaign (Just pm me if interested) as such if you have a homebrew race you want to use, let me know, I’ll give it a quick once over as long as it’s not too OP I will probably say yes
-As for classes, same rules apply UA, Homebrew, critical role. All are welcome. Just make sure you PM me if it’s homebrew.
-there’s a lot of stuff that I’ll be testing with this campaign, if I introduce something and you think it totally sucks, TELL ME. I know I’m not perfect, I know everything I create won’t be a home run. If everyone agrees it’s bad I’ll probably cut it.
If interested reply with the following
Name:
Race:
Class:
Why are you here: merc, criminal enterprises, merchant, join the war, etc.
Alignment: I’m not against evil alignments, I just don’t want one LG and one CE cause then the whole things goes to hell. If evil just know that there’s gotta be at least 3 other evil/neutral characters. And likewise with good, there’s gotta be at least 3 other good/neutral
IRL age: I swear a decent bit especially when talking in character, as such I do apologize but I will be cropping out anyone that falls below a certain age.
Stats and such will be done once I’ve selected my chosen few, if you don’t know what race/class you want to do yet, because you are lookin onto homebrew stuff or something that’s fine, just fill out what you can.
Note- world will be mostly human, but there will be inhumans as well.
I am In Colorado, USA. Timezone is MST, do with that info what you will.
the three groups are
Party Alpha: this group has progressed rather slowly up until now, but it would appear they intend on forming their own guild, likely one that deals in more stealthy/less than legal operations
Party Beta: this group has joined the Brotherhood of Wings guild, a pseudo-military group that tends toward a LG alignment.
Party Omega: this group has joined the Cobalt Wolves Guild, formerly known for their heroism and badassery they are now known as a guild of lazy drunkards who don’t do much work
party alpha has 2 vacancies
party beta has 3 vacancies
party omega has 1 vacancy
party alpha composition: 1 human artificer, 1 triton Ranger, 1 genasi rogue, 1 tiefling rogue
party beta: 1 human fighter, 1 human cleric, 1 human sorcerer
party Omega: 1 human fighter, 1 tortle barbarian, 1 high elf bard, 1 halfling druid, 1 dwarf Paladin.
Why are you here: Boo has come to Gudsrocke on a mission. That mission is to bring the light of Llirra to war gripped land. He has not heard much about Gudsrocke, but the little he's learned has called him to action. Being born a slave of war, he felt an almost ethereal connection to those most affected: the civilians. Llirra has given him her graciousness, the freedom to share his happiness with the world in any way that he can. He's collected as many trinkets and toys as he could and hopped on the ship.
How long's the game been running so far? What level is everyone, and what level could your story potentially reach to? Are you ok with character sheets not on DnDBeyond (I'm maxed out)? Is there scope for the 3 groups to help/hinder each other, or are they all playing in relative isolation? Can probably make an educated guess, but what are the rough overall alignments of the different groups? You mention beta is LG, but the others could be a range of things.
Cheers.
Also, what parts of the continents are the different groups in at the moment?
Why are you here: He’s a traveler from his school seeking an ancient item that may be on the continent for his school and to explorer the world only to be caught up in the war.
Race: Yuan-Ti Pureblood *Worthy of note for those unfamiliar with them: Yuan-Ti purebloods are extremely similar to humans in appearance aside from a few variant features. They are more similar to Tieflings in this way than the Yuan-Ti themselves.*
Class:Warlock (Noble Genie, UA)
Why are you here: Opportunist, seeking to spread patron's influence while gaining knowledge and power
Alignment: True Neutral
IRL age: 32
Group Choice: Alpha
Mild Backstory Prompt:
Born in the desert wastelands to a cult of yuan-ti, Serissa was trained from birth to blend in with the warm bloods. While she was away in the nearby city on an infiltration mission of sorts, the cult to which she belonged was wiped out. One day, directionless and trying to get by, she wound up intermingling with a wealthy trader and during the course of their communion, she encountered a strange hollow statuette in his possession. She wasn’t sure what drew her to it, but upon touching it and removing its lid, found herself transported to a pocket dimension where she stood before an otherworldly efreet by the name of Lord Dal’zeer. She tried fruitlessly to find a way out of the genie’s lair until she spotted a dragon chess set among his belongings. She challenged him to a game and called him out for cheating while also cheating herself! He was so amused that he not only allowed her to leave but gave her a tether to his realm to expand his influence throughout the lands.
With little to lose and everything to gain, Serissa accepted, took the statuette for herself and has journeyed here to do just that. She keeps her few serpentine features hidden by a traditional eastern veil and uses her magic to dissuade those who investigate further.
Just putting this out there in case you're still looking for players:
Name: Veram
Class: Storm Sorcerer
Race: Tiefling
Align: chaotic good
Group: any, but Alpha preferred.
The why: Veram sought an escape a life of poverty and persecution to make a new life and hopefully strike a fortune on Gudsrocke. Looking for high-risk, high-reward mercenary work, essentially.
Why are you here: Oskar was always interested in the places between. Between day and night, order and chaos, good and evil, which is why he follows the goddess of twilight Breksta. He came here to see what he could find between the two nations, helping the people there, whether they were forced there, or decided to work in the middle of it.

Hi there, few questions if you don't mind...
How long's the game been running so far? What level is everyone, and what level could your story potentially reach to? Are you ok with character sheets not on DnDBeyond (I'm maxed out)? Is there scope for the 3 groups to help/hinder each other, or are they all playing in relative isolation? Can probably make an educated guess, but what are the rough overall alignments of the different groups? You mention beta is LG, but the others could be a range of things.
Cheers.
Also, what parts of the continents are the different groups in at the moment?
