Hi.
I am seeking 1-2 players to join in a new campaign in my home-brew world. The campaign is set in a world I created 6 years ago and have run two campaigns through, complete with hand-drawn 4'x6' map, cosmology, creation myths, legends, histories, and lots o' other little tid-bits. The world is low formal arcane magic, because of a terrible being named the Eater of Magic, and the WizardWar he began, but there are sorcerers, and much, much divine magic, and some very ancient magic. The deities of the Aelrith and their agents are very much involved in the world. Most arcane magic is sublte and manipulative.
The campaign is character focused and story-driven, and each character's backstory is taken into account throughout the campaign. There are times where the session is a long, bloody and dangerous series of encounters to stop the creation of a portal, and then there are sessions where not a single weapon is drawn.
In the previous campaign, there were party allies that included a Kobald sorcerer who has took a liking to the Elven cleric (they are the "learned") and his small band, along with their Hill Giant buddy. They also battled an insane bard who turned people's life stories into books-literally. That is, once the story has been told, the person becomes a book of said person's history. It is a long story, as they always are.
The game system is D&D 3E/d20 with modifications from such source-books as "Spells & Spellcraft," "Path of the Sword," "The Kingdoms of Kalamar PHB," "Occult Lore," "Relics and Rituals," and more.
Progression is slower than presented in the PHB & DMG. I want to stress again that this world has low formal arcane magic; most is either divine or is an intrinsic quality of the Aelrith. Or part of the political machinations of people in power or seeking power. There is much that was ruined and leaves to be discovered regarding arcane magic.
I have 100+ pages of background stuff and several maps. We will game roughly 3x a month--2 weeknights (Tuesdays) and 1 weekend day. I am seeking a good fit of personalities and people who will commit to the dates we play, on a long-term basis. We range in age from Mid-20's to late 30's, all have jobs or are university students, and some even have families!!! If you are interested, please email me. I will gladly put you in contact with people who have played in my previous campaign and are part of the new campaign, if you'd like to get a sense of it from a player's perspective. "
As a DM, I am detail and story-oriented, and am very familiar with the world I have created. There are some alignment, class, and race restrictions, depending on where & when you start out on the Aelrith. The flavor is definitely good vs. evil with a smattering of moral quandries to deal with. I work closely with players in developing their characters and provide a lot of local knowledge for them. There are a quite a few layers of plots and varying personalities and interests in the Aelrith.
I am seeking players who will be creative within the context of the setting and other players. I am also seeking players who will commit to a consistent schedule, knowing that life intervenes sometimes, and also knowing that their participation directly influences everyone involved.
