5e14, Mini Campaign ~~~~~~~~ In a room lined with instruments of torture, and arcane devices meant to mutate and modify the material form, you find yourself awaking. How long has it been since your eyes last opened, since you last felt the damp, stale air enter into your lungs? Your memories as a whole are fragmented, recalled piecemeal as your hazy vision scans around the room. Voices. The sounds of footsteps echo aside them from somewhere beyond your heavy gaze. Your form is numb, each bone and every muscle laden with the memory of a thousand trials your mind refuses to conjure. There is a heavy thud as the footsteps stop, the voices hush, leaving you alone in the silence for but a moment. You feel yourself lowered to the ground by some unseen hand, and as you feel yourself slump against the ground, you manage a meager tilt of your head in the direction of the sound. The door to your prison stands open. And for the first time, you recognize the soft sound of the labored breathing of several others around you. Another test, perhaps. But as the heavy stone wall sways towards you, beckoning you to muster the strength to rise up and grasp this opportunity… you hear a voice. “Run free, my friends.” Familiarity stirs, though you find yourself unable to put a face or name to the sound as their footsteps trail off. As you reach for them in your weakened state, the sound of an alarm blares around you. Truly, be it test or truth, this may be your only chance. Remember who you are, recall the tests your flesh has endured, and escape with your life intact. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm a DM of 7 years and currently searching for a group of players to run a miniature campaign with. The world is homebrewed, but takes a lot of inspiration from Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, and a few other sources. The game is looking to run each week on Mondays at 6pm. We will be using a bit of homebrew as well, specifically the main document from r/FFXIVxDnD as well as a version of the Blue Mage that I've altered. This mini campaign will see you starting out at level 6, potentially leveling up to 7 through its events over the course of 12-14 weeks with intentions to run several other miniature campaigns using the same or different characters over the course of the next year. We will be using Roll20 for the VTT, and Discord for Voice - no video required. If you're interested, leave a comment with your discord handle or dm me any questions you have and I'll answer them when I'm able to.
