Hello hello! I am Matthew. I am a new DM building a homebrew world, and I want your help filling in its history. Before my main campaign begins, I am running a series of one-shots set in "Year 0". This is when an apocalyptic cataclysm nearly ends the world. The future campaign will be set centuries afterward. This post is for a specific prequel one-shot for a party of four bards. AND you as the player ideally have an instrument to RP with and maybe play poorly. When? I run my business from home and have a family, so M-F during the day works best. These one-shots will take place Tuesday through Thursday, between 9:00am and 2:00pm Central time (chicago area). If you work from home, work nights, or live in a time zone where this is your evening, this table is for you! What is it? You will play level 6 bards surviving the chaos of a larger conflict. You may be "just" bards, but together you can make a real difference in this harried, crumbling world. All of this happens under the shadow of the First King, whose mysterious sacrifice during this era saves the realm but curses his bloodline forever. Legacy? Yup If you survive, I have a "Fortune & Fate" roll planned to help determine your character's epilogue. Though you will have plenty of creative control over their outcomes. My particular hope with this one-shot is to establish a few bards as local heroes of sorts. And in the epilogue and leading into the future campaign, these bards and their instruments will be cherished.

You are an Initiate, a student at the prestigious Academy Arcanum. Yet unlike the other students, you've been hand-selected to study under Professor Thorne. The academy's most knowledgeable Weaver and a notorious pariah among its faculty. What will you learn under him each semester? More importantly...What secrets is Professor Thorne hiding? Welcome to the Arcanum Academy, one of the greatest centers of magical learning in Ithyra. Here, magic is not merely something to cast it is something to understand, question, and reshape. As Initiates, you will study the Weave, uncover strange magical theories, take on quest for the realm, learn to alter spells beyond their traditional limits, and eventually craft a magical item of your own design. Between lessons, you'll compete against rival students, test your abilities in arcane competitions, form friendships and rivalries, and discover that even the most prestigious academy has secrets buried beneath its halls. Set within the high-fantasy world of Ithyra, Prodigies of the Weave blends ancient magic with aetherpunk innovation, a world where arcane theory and magical technology are beginning to change what people believe magic can accomplish. But the more you learn, the more questions arise. What is the Weave truly capable of? Why have certain magical theories been forgotten? And why does it seem that the academy and its faculty are hiding something from its students? This campaign is for players who enjoy character driven stories, magical discovery, exploration, and meaningful choices. My style is heavily narrative and choice focused. Your decisions shape your relationships, your education, your reputation, and ultimately the direction of the story. There isn't always a single correct path, and the world will respond to the choices you make. Come prepared to attend classes, experiment with magic, compete with your peers, make mistakes, uncover mysteries, and decide for yourselves what kind of weavers you want to become. The Weave has rules. Magic has limits. You are here to discover what happens when you challenge both.

The world of Phelun is an old one that has seen many conflicts throughout its history. While times seem peaceful, beneath the surface there are whisperings of the Dragon Queen stirring within her prison, strange events occurring upon the continent of Ines, and adventure awaiting upon the lost continent of Asoris. This is an 18+ only server that is a mix of go at your own pace pbp and west marches living world elements.  https://discord.gg/X8dFsNrjBw This is a new Server that has been worked on by one DM for 3 months. It currently features the following:     PbP forums for those who prefer slower RPs.     Living world channels where characters can explore the lands or meet one another in real time in the pub.     DM run Tables. (We are looking for more DMs to help run tables)     Mining, gathering, fishing, and exploration through Avrae commands (commands are ready, but random tables need to be filled out more for variety).     Random in game daily events (not tied to irl days, and still being worked on).     Market to buy items.     Guilds (will need leaders).     Job command to earn coin and a living world channel to RP the work in. (currently being reworked)     Custom Drinking command for the pub.     Player housing.
