Hello people,
For this adventure I would like to set it in an adaptation of the Witcher world. Before I set out the world and the further rules here are a few things that could throw people off:
- We will be playing BEFORE the events of the Witcher Games and books, and we will use its lore as a starting point, departing from it from there on.
- You will be starting in different places, and do not really need a connection to eachother.
- We will do a completely narrative focus, so no game elements.
Still reading? Good.
So as for the rules part:
Your characters will start apart, but all will be in the vicinity of, or in, Brugge. You can be anyone you like though having 5 witchers, or 5 sorcerers/sorceresses or all kings tends to be boring. You are free start together in pairs, trios or whatever. Please adhere to the unwritten and unspecified laws of not creating OP characters or roleplaying them. I know certain characters in this setting are innately more powerful (mainly those named above) so portray them responsible.
As you start apart some stories will just progress faster than others while you remain apart if you don’t reply as often as the others. I will have no ‘rounds’ of posts, just post at will and once everyone has acted to the situation I portrayed I will change the scenery.
YOU will have freedom to describe effects and interactions with NPCs if you like. Just stay clear of your fellow PCs or any NPC that is somewhat of a ‘boss’. Those are mine.
I hope to build this story out, starting in small scale, with your personal goals, and then going into a bigger and bigger story once everyone is teamed up and things are slowly being set in motion.
Please build in a temporary ‘out’ for your character, so that when you have real life things you can retreat your character from the main storyline.
The Setting:
We will start in the year 1203 Various of the Northern Kingdoms are making plays against each other while the river the Yaruga is still the symbol of safety against the Nilfgaardian Empire. In Brugge a new mayor was elected, the eccentric Regan de Bruuk, a known associate of the shady side of Brugge and an instigator of the Eastborough pogrom against the elves and dwarves in the city, winning the ‘election’ mainly on the propaganda of clearing the forest of the dryads that have been menacing the trade routes so long. Eastborough is still smoldering from the violent pogrom as the city square is the scene of de Bruuk’s victory feast, non-humans are in hiding or leaving the city as others come in to witness the changes…
So First: interest check. Just give a heads up if you are interested and what kind of character you would like to play!
