Hello, my name is Bo and I'm looking for some players for my upcoming campaign, we'll see how long it'll go on for but I don't think it'll be a short one.
Timezone: CET (GMT+2)
TTRPG/Edition: DND 5e (2014 because I have some issues with the 2024 one)
Style: live text, set time and date, sessions to be around 4 hours
Start Date: 26th of April possibly?
Number Of Players: 5
Number of Spots Available: 3 (I currently have 2 players)
Details: Should be played on Sundays, going for the weekly, the day could change for Saturday in the later time, we will see.
I am looking for players who prefer RP over combat just because I as a DM just go for more RP in my games. Also looking for LGBT+ friendly people because my tables are always queer, like myself. Also please be at least 18+ because I can't deal with younger folks, I am over 25 and I wish to be surrounded with more mature people who are willing to communicate and make meaningful games, thank you.
I found this setting, that can be integrated in 5e, some time last year and was really intrigued by it cause it's just so very gothic, full of vampires and necromancy, a new deity hanging around, a whole city to explore, new subclasses and a whole lot of intrigue and politics. And I decided to add into a new setting of mine which I've been working on for the past couple of months.
The vibes of this setting are very much like Castlevania, some Dishonored and Thief, then a particular part in Bioshock Infinite, if you've played it's that one part with the cemetery. It's inspired by a lot of stories and beliefs in our world about death, deities, vampires, like there are some things pulled from Scotland, UK, Balkan beliefs, some Roman and Greek, Germanic, I saw some Alaskan stuff and even Asian like Cambodia, Iranian or Scythian practices, like stuff from all over the world that contain ghosts, death practices etc.
There is a lot of moth imagery, devils and demons, different types of animals as statues that mean different things, some insectoid emblems, I also found that some things are similar to Mourn Watch from Dragon Age or even the Crows.
To paint it even more vividly, a setting like Victorian England but gloomy, with like Sleepy Hollow vibes, sort of.
Brief Synopsis: Usually party members meet in a tavern, right? Well, how about this one ends up meeting at a funeral? How does that sound?
This setting offers a couple of new subclasses, backgrounds and guilds.
Order of Moths are basically defenders of Gravehallow, the city, and they train and research new magic and arcane and using that as mainly to protect the city but also Virtus, the new patron deity that has taken interest in this city specifically. Virtus is sort of the new death domain deity but not just death as they also dabble in influencing gamblers, tipping the scales of balance, has a hand to reach out to those who love to travel, so basically anyone who is at risk of dying prematurely has Virtus' eye on them.
Order of Roses have started out as personal guard to Virtus but have since then evolved. Separate of the clerics and priest, they are in a unique spot to be the most revered and highly respected people in Gravehallow. They are fearsome fighters with magical prowess, trained to hunt and subdue rogue arcanists. If you wish to be part of the elite you have to go through a grueling training to even reach the rank of Caedem and to be fully fledged you will have to embrace the Gift of Immortality, your Commander's teeth.
Thanatologists are a new ish guild with only a few members but they are always ready to recruits as they are seeing to bring in more knowledge and research. Call them Soulcatchers if you must as that is how they gather knowledge and information. They aim to extend their reach beyond Gravehallow and gather new information.
Resurrectionists are the thieves' guild of Gravehallow. Some people might find their methods sacrilegious but the tenets they follow speak louder and are more honest than some would admit:
Take from the dead what benefit the living
Give to the living only what you can spare
Take nothing to your grave
Being part of this group means being part of a loyal family, everyone is looked after and protected.
Three new subclasses that this setting offers are:
Path of Sacrifice, for Barbarians
Rose Knight, for Fighters
Thanatology, for Wizards
Three new backgrounds:
Resurrectionist
Mortician
Gravekeeper
