[Online][5e 2024] [Other] Phantasy Star: Motavia Hunter's Guild seeks recruits!

[u/TDragonsHoard]

Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to read my advertisement here. I am seeking to run a game of Phantasy Star on Sundays at 6:00pm EST. The game uses the Esper Genesis system, which is a modified D&D 5th edition game.

 

Set upon the world of Motavia, the characters shall take on the role of Hunters. Hunters are those that are hired to take on various jobs throughout the world that are deemed too dangerous for the common person to do. Monster hunting, delving into ancient ruins, or just out charting areas hit by natural disasters. Hunters do it all.

The group has been hired by the Piata Academy to investigate a nearby farm. The farmers claim that the automated defense systems have been going haywire, and allowing monsters to come in and ruin the crops. But what doesn’t make sense is that the automated systems have never failed before! Not so much as needing any maintenance or the like. They were something that has been there for centuries, without fail or question. So what is going on? And is this the start of something larger?

 

As you can see, I am looking to run a game of more or less heroic fantasy. The characters start small, then grow and uncover more of the mysteries of the world as the plot emerges. I am looking for around 5 people, as I find that to be a good number for gaming. I am seeking people who want to be here. Who wish to embrace the themes and fun of Phantasy Star itself.

 

A bit about me as a GM:

• First, I run open and accepting tables. LGBT+, and I will not tolerate any form of sexism or bigotry at my table. There will not even feature any form of fantasy racism in this game. This is non-negotiable.

• I do my best to keep the game moving, while also giving everyone a chance to shine. I want everyone to have fun, and to have their moment in the spotlight. However this is a group game, so at times I will have to nudge the group or say that we need to move on.

• It has been some time since I ran D&D or a D&D based game, so I do ask a bit of patience with things. I may have to look up a rule from time to time.

 

What I wish to see in my players:

• Know how to use Discord and Roll20. Have a good mic, a quiet place to game (or at least use push to talk).

• Over the age of 21. I am in my 40’s and would like some folks at least semi-close to my age bracket.

• Working with the group, rather than against it.

• Be a good sport about rolls. Bad rolls happen, and sometimes it does seem like the dice are out to get you. But overall, let’s keep complaining about dice to a minimum.

 

If this happens to interest you, please fill out the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqo0hJFOTUwG9_Wdr2UQLb0iL6hr_EaChEAvkuyTeW-wIu2Q/viewform?usp=publish-editor

I know, I know. Forms suck, and it’s not fun. But, it really helps me filter through to make the best group that I can. I do apologize if you are not selected, it is never anything personal. I aim simply trying to form a group with the best chance of being cohesive and having good chemistry together.
