Endeavors in England!

[Tiresias the sage]

IC: The year is 1201 ad. King arthur pendragon has just pulled the sword from the stone and become king of england. He has made peace with the dwarves, nearly eradicated the elves, and brought peace to the land. it was... calm. But given the ambition of humanoids, things never stayed that way for long. You are in the town of Heiwana, where almost nothing happens. You're about to change that.

OOC: okay so the main idea of this campaign is a group of people to go on adventures, but you know how in most dnd campaigns you just cause chaos? in this while you can and should, there are options put in place for things like starting a revolution, becoming a villain, and other things dnd players usually don't (explicitly) do.

Also, each one of you has some connection to a powerful figure from a story. or just be straight up funny, like gandalf with a gun. for example, my character is the adopted son of merlin, and the biological son of the lady of the lake and some random human. given that the lady of the lake is closest to an elf, that makes him a half elf. i will write more about my character soon.

Multiclassing is allowed, and encouraged if you feel it's right for the character, not the power. Mine is going to be a level 19 wizard and level 1 paladin, but so far he's only 1 of each. you start at level 2.

Also if you wanna know more about me, just ask!

Confirmation thingies (thanks Idea !):
I will use the 2024 version of dnd 5e, but if i'm being honest, i don't think much has changed except the character creation.
2: Hombrew, is good if it is close to the story you are leaning for. also try, please, to make the homebrew something i can understand.
3: for stats we will be rolling a 8 sided die with plus 10
4: for starting stuff, we will have the equipment that your class starts with. money must be made. get that bling yourself.
5: you have Complete freedom when making a character's story close to another story, as long as I approve it in a pm. For example, king arthur is actually a hothead in my story who needs to be the best, and is kind of a bully.
6: everything will be onsite, and length... I'd say about one to two paragraphs. for frequency limit as long as everyone gets a turn.

I may be interested. Thinking of bringing either my Cedric Half Elf or Human Fighter into the mix.

 

[Tiresias the sage]

ooh nice! but just wondering, what kind of connection would he have to a story? this world can have all mythologies and stories take place in relatively the same world, so you have a lot of options.

 

[Daylight Fantasy]

I'm considering connecting them to some fairy tales or myths but a lot of them were created before 1201 AD. I might switch over to some previous ruler tho, since it makes more sense for the both of them.

Gameplay questions:

1. What version of the rules are we using? 2014 or 2024?
2. Is homebrew or unearthed arcana content allowed? Every official content? Other restrictions?
3. How are we handling stats? Rolling (if so, with what rules), standard array, point buy?
4. How are we doing equipment, rolling for gold or starting equipment? Also, do we get anything else beyond the basics at the start?

Setting Questions:

1. Is this setting meant to be closer to Arthurian legend, is it more like any mythology/legend mashed together, standard fantasy or anything goes fantasy? In case of doubt to which should we default our expectations?
2. How free are we to make our own interpretation of things from legends and mythos or borrow interpretations from elsewhere?

Other OOC Questions:

1. Will this RP be on a thread on the site?
2. Will the OOC also be on a thread on the site or elsewhere?
3. What will the posting expectations be regarding frequency and length?

Setting Questions:
1: I am going to try and figure this out once we have all 4 people.
2: Complete freedom, as long as I approve it in a pm. For example, king arthur is actually a hothead in my story who needs to be the best, and is kind of a bully.

Other OOC Questions:
1: yes, i realise now that i should have said.
2: on site.
3: length... I'd say about one to two paragraphs. for frequency limit as long as everyone gets a turn.

 

[Tiresias the sage]

any other questions? also I'm gonna copy and paste these into the original post.

Got it, thank you for the answers. You misunderstood my frequency question but that’s alright. After taking your responses into consideration, I don’t think I will be joining after all. I wish you the best of luck with this, however!

 

[Tiresias the sage]

thanks for the consideration!
