CROSS POSTED FROM:  https://www.reddit.com/r/lfg/comments/1whicie/onlinepst_fewshot_5e_2014_or_2024_flexible_lgbtq/ __ The number of gods and goddesses that exist across our diverse histories are as timeless and innumerable as the stars themselves. Even at the pinnacle of godhood however, petty squabbles over power and status frequently break out due to pride and boredom in equal measure. Governing their respective aspects and starting occasional conflicts on the mortal plane was all well and good, but little seemed to stir any true interest from their immortal thrones. Thus, the Inheritor Trials were created. It was both a thrilling spectator sport to look forward to and a means to decide which gods produced the most powerful offspring. A satisfying proxy war most found preferable to the effort and consequential destruction direct conflict would cause. Every century, the gods extend an invitation to all of their immediate descendants, beckoning them to participate so that they may gain ‘equal’ glory and prestige. While the trials are notorious for being dangerous and foul play is not uncommon, for most the reward promised to the victors far outweighs the risks: A boon from their divine progenitor. More than a mere favor, any boon granted to a demi-god is made before all of the gods witness to the event - meaning the god is honor bound to fulfill the request lest they face the judgement of their divine peers. Perhaps you wish to use this boon to cement yourself as your divine parent’s favorite after years of neglect? Perhaps you don’t care for their favor in the slightest, but require their power to help you with a problem you can’t solve on your own? Or, perhaps you simply wish to participate in the Trials to test your own mettle against your demi-god peers? Whatever the case, the day of the Inheritor Trials has arrived, and you must take your fate into your own hands. ~~~~ LOGISTICS: TWO SHOT* (maybe three depending on pacing, we’re gonna call it 2) September 21-24 (TBD) and October 2nd, 5-9PST over Discord on Roll20 Level 11, all official and partnered content on dndbeyond good with me. I'm comfortable running 2014 or 2024, I'll go majority preference. Thoughtful, serious backstories are highly encouraged. You may be the half mortal half godly offspring of any mythos. ex: Zeus, Abunis, Selune (forgotten realms), the Stormlord, (CR), or niche cultures/gods too! Interview process =  fill out google form here: https://forms.gle/dKNKNPpAwKr1as4z8, I'll pick my 3 favorites by Saturday (the 19th) , then from there we’ll talk on discord so I can get one last vibe check then we play! Transparently, these few shots are being run with the goal of growing a ‘long term’ roster for me and my existing tables. We pride ourselves on all being very strong, character focused roleplayers that throw our everything into the emotional story arcs and intense combats we go through together. While experienced players are preferred, ultimately you just have to be open to in equal measure be respectful and dedicated to the story we all tell together. PLEASE NOTE: While this game is being labeled as 21+ there will NOT be any gratuitous explicit sex scenes, gore, body horror, suicidal themes etc. That rating is mostly there because that is the general age range of my group (mid to late 20s), in reality I'd say the table 'rating' is more 18+ for cursing and general maturity level. Think CR/D20 level of vivid combat descriptors, social use of alcohol or drugs, occasional flirting if consensual, and fading to black if necessary (probably not relevant for this). I'm happy to go over any clarifications in call if chosen. Oh also obligatory, extremely LGBTQ+ and minority friendly. Bigotry of ANY kind is not tolerated. Thanks for reading! Hope to see you there!
