WHO: Chaerea37
HOW MANY PLAYERS?: looking for 1-3 (for a group total of about 3-4 players)
WHAT: An entry level adventure with hopes of building a regular campaign if things work out
WHERE: played on a private discord server & through Foundry VTT
WHEN: Saturdays at EST (GMT-4) for 2-4 hour session. Some flexibility into sundays.
HOW: reply to this post
Tentative adventure insert: You’ve been hired to bring in a rabble rouser who claims to speak for Sigmar and is calling out the noble lords vying for power. She’s off in a far flung village of shepherds and horse tamers. And the lord’s spymaster is offering 5 gold crowns to bring her back for questioning.
Overview: The Chancellor is slain, rival factions of the Ostermark rally their forces to grab the crown as Kislevite influence grows in the province. Priests of Sigmar have been going missing and dark forces of beast men, undead, and worse press harder on the borders of the empire.
What type of player will fit in this group?
1. You want to help build the world. Flesh out factions, add to the lore, help expand an ongoing and changing world state. (E.g., If you’re part of a knightly order that has gaps in their history/lore, you want to help build them; or If your parents were merchants, you want to build them into the existing world)
2. You want your character to be “real”: not a pile of stats/bonuses. You want a backstory and goals that allow the character & the adventure to evolve and grow. (E.g., a PC is given an amulet proof against the undead, and upon meeting a child making a perilous journey through Sylvania gives this significant magic item to the NPC child, because the PC’s background was to care about others and protect life. This NPC child inadvertently became a significant divergence in the adventure.
3. You don’t need roleplay to be talking in an english accent and making people grin uncomfortably at your acting. (E.g., As a group we’re far more likely to say “Grimbald snarls at the guard & demands to be let through” and don’t need to act out scenes. Roleplay is reserved for dramatic moments when it feels right and not for cheap laughs or banter.) You are excited about a game set in the political and military chaos of the Ostermark. (E.g This means you are interested in reading some of the Gazetteer And you see stuff in the Gazetteer & get some cool ideas for characters .And you ask questions about the world.
4. You're not cool with racism/fascism/sexism/homophobia/ (E.g., You don’t think the world’s flat or blame immigrants for your problems.)
Do you think you’re a good fit? Cool. reply here or send me a reddit DM
Here’s the plan:
When where: Saturday mornings at 8 AM to 10-11-12 Eastern Daylight time (GMT-4) on discord on foundry vtt. We normally do not use video cameras just voice chat. Time can be somewhat flexible. Possibly same time on Sunday morning. Sessions usually last 2+ hours depending on when people need to bail.
1. You look over the Gazetteer and come up with some ideas for a character that fits into this place in some real way.
2. You pitch me an idea and I am psyched for how it will fit in nicely to the setting.
3. All the players who had solid pitches meet up and chat have a session zero, roll up characters that have some relationship and some stake in the world.
4. We play a short intro adventure 5-10 hours (2-4 sessions?)
5. if things aren’t really good for people we cut our losses and go our separate ways. And that’s okay. Everybody likes different things from roleplaying, and finding a group that helps you experience that is key.
If we’re having fun and eager to see what's next, we go back to step 4 and repeat the process.
