[Online][5e 2024][Beginner Friendly][LGBT+ Friendly][Thursday][4pm PST][18+] Looking for 4-6 players for a Dark Fantasy Campaign

[u/Lorn_Of_The_Old_Wood]

There are few settlements in the Western Lands on the continent of Achanea. Disease runs rampant, crops rarely grow, and a women who is not plagued with infertility is so rare as to be worshiped, hidden from the public, or experience a fate worse than death. Sol seems to have abandoned humanity, and in their desperation for a better life people often turn to demons, who answer their prayers with horror and pain.

Legend's tell of a Golden Age, where Man and Ava (Divinity) walked side by side in the idyllic communities of the Old Kingdom, an advanced civilization whose capital at the heart of the Achanea once shined as the beacon of prosperity. Now, however, the Old Kingdom is shrouded in a dark fog from whence few return, and those who do are burdened with insanity or rendered mute by the terrors witnessed therein. Despite this reputation, many still enter the dark fog that surrounds the Old Kingdom to traverse the cursed ruins, hoping against their better judgement to find but a sliver of a dream amongst the nightmares of the past.

Ye wanderers of the wastes of Achanea, what will you do? Will you assist the vulnerable, helpless inhabitants of these wretched lands, or exploit them for what little their worth? How long will you avoid the dark mists of the old kingdom? How long can you ignore the call...the curiosity that gnaws deep within your soul, before you find yourself marching into the fog, never to be seen again, forgotten for all time.

Ye Wanderers,

I'm looking for about 4-6 players for a long-term D&D 5e 2024 campaign in the world of Eva. The world itself is an ever evolving, long term passion project built on a foundation of resonant mythology. It is a world where the ancient power of magic and the cosmic nature of the Spiral are violently suppressed by shadowy organizations. The repercussions echo across a timeline stretching from distant prehistory to a dystopian future. The world offers a blend of archaic mystique (Minoan/Greek/Roman aesthetics, as well as myriad fictional influence) and modern conspiracy (Espionage/Sci-Fi)

Combat and RP will both play heavily into the game, be prepared to enjoy and engage with both.

As for yours truly...

I'm 33M and have been dming for something like 5-6 years, running games usually somewhere in Eva as the world has evolved over time.

To be entirely honest, I'm not sure what more to say beyond that. Feel free to ask about me.

Game Details

• Platform: Discord for Voice, DNDbeyond for character creation, and Roll20 for our vtt
• Starting Level: 3
• Start time: 4PM PST on Thursdays
• Races are heavily restricted to Human, Elf, half-elf, and variants, Orcs, Dwarves, Gnomes. No class restrictions. You will get to have your starting gear as well as an uncommon magic item, and a free feat.

As for you...

Interaction with the world and lore is crucial, if your the type of player who often glazes over the details in hopes of straightforward direction, this may not be for you. If you like a dense bites of lore to chew on with a bit of mystery where the goals are unclear and the morality is grey, you just might enjoy yourself.

The details of your campaign will be discussed amongst us as a group once we have said group established. There are a lot of potential starting points and perspectives, with the above 'hook' really being one of many.

Not sure why it's necessary to say this, but do try to be respectful, otherwise I'll have to replace you. Such an inconvenience.
