Description

Hello everyone! We are looking for 2 more players to try out the game "Vaesen" by Nils Hintze (Free League Publishing). Log in to view Most of us will be playing it for the first time so no worries if you are not familiar with the game or system. I am organising this campaign in a discord server. It will be played via a mix of voice calls and slower "play by post" via chat whenever players are unavailable.  The timezone for most players is UTC +1/2 (Western Europe). Sessions will likely be organised during weekend afternoons/evenings or Wednesdays and Thursdays after 18:30 CET if scheduling allows. What we are looking for:
  • Players that are ok with typing out and reading longer paragraphs of text. As some of the game will be played "by post" it is preferable for players to write longer messages and contribute to the worldbuilding and the story.
  • 18+. No NSFW is intended but all of us are in our mid to late 20s
  • Bonus points if you have played this game, or a game with the Year Zero Engine before.
If you would like to join us, please write a few sentences saying why you are interested in the game/setting and how you fit the criteria above.

Weekdays only, a group decides on day & time Most people will probably play between 16:00 – 21:00 (GMT+0) Will be played in Discord voice chat, "Theatre of the Mind" playstyle (means no VTT) My Discord (weebseatshit) *PREMISE* You are dragged into a dangerous encounter together with other unlucky ones. Now you are bonded whether you want it or not. Since you are a witness, some people want you dead, watch your back(s) & trust no one It's an RP-focused, Forgotten Realms based, custom (homebrew) campaign with an emphasis on story, characters & adventures Ratio: 40 Roleplay/40 Exploration/20 Combat Starting level is 1, standard array for abilities Spells become cantrips, you can cast them without components or GP Some spells that affect game's balance & world, may be forbidden. It'll be discussed Instead of HP you have healthbars, & you don't know how big are your enemies healthbars Healthbars are rather "cinematic". Depending from how much dmg you receive, i'll adjust your condition. But in general: 6 HP: Sorcerer, Wizard 8 HP: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue, Warlock 10 HP: Fighter, Paladin, Ranger 12 HP: Barbarian Only these races are allowed: Human, Elf (Moon, Wood), Dwarf, Goliath, Tiefling (Purple, Pink, Blue), Tystling (a human with cat ears (& eyes)) Artificer & Psion aren't allowed I'll describe locations & looks with little to no detail Just like with the books, i'd prefer that every player imagined their own stuff (& because there may be an info that player may not get or just ignore) A tystling is similar to a cat Monochrome darkvision Enhanced senses: smell, hearing, vision, touch & balance Soft step: walking is almost noiseless (unless a tystling has something noisy on), running is slightly quieter comparing to other races A tystling is shorter than an elf, but taller than a dwarf A tystling is slim like an elf, but lighter than an elf, with smaller muscles. That makes a tystling even more agile & dexterous than an elf, but it's very hard for a tystling to lift or carry medium heavy things

For those that like a dose of history in their dread and won't mind playing characters with no penny to their name I would love to invite you to interwar Warsaw. Rapidly growing city in freshly reconstituted country where law is part of lawless and folklore is still treated as lore indeed... for good reasons. Historical horror monster of the week. Session 0, along with the first one are free. More details under StartPlaying Link $10 referal for freshly joining StartPlaying

An Eldritch Horror with a Vampire Twist  You crashed a nautiloid ship and you have temporary amnesia forgetting the past 48 hours of your events  You have a strange headache and you swear you feel a tense migraine forming behind your eye a piercing pain almost wriggling.  You find your bearings and you realise your near a place called Seabrooke  When you get there it's a strange solem place. The Lord has been taking people away and they have never been seen again  And you realise your senses can't be trusted as your starting to see things that is making your psyche break.  What is happening? What is this strange illness that's spreading in Seabrooke and why does it not stop with a cleric or a paladin touch
