Dungeons and Dragons
Shadow World
Thousands of years ago, mortals rose up against the Gods, confronting them in a bloody conflict to gain immortality and divine power. As a consequence, the Gods severed the link to the elemental planes from the material world. Cut off from the elemental energies that power the material plane, the world died a slow death. Century by century, the sun grew dim, rains became scarce, beasts died off, and cities fell into decay and became ruins. Ten years ago, the sun set one final time, never to rise again.
It is in this doomed world where our heroes dwell. From humble beginnings they will find they are powerful, and unlock the ability to be a force for change in this age of darkness. Shall they rise to become mighty generals, leaders of fleets and armies? Or perhaps as powerful lords, with entire kingdoms resting upon their shoulders? Or perhaps they will pursue a more sinister fate, pledging allegiance to a dark god and become a twisted sorcerer of terrible power? Your fate is in your hands.
Overview
Greetings and thanks for checking out my interest check for a proposed D&D game. I'm new to the forum, but have run play by post games in the past, as well as currently running a couple live d&d games of my own. This game shall be a West Marsh style game, meaning the players will have most control of the narrative. You all decide what you want to do, with who, and where. It is then up to me to make up the adventure and present it to you.
