The last dying sparks flickered uselessly against the blood splattered breastplate. The shadow dappled figure watched as the last inhabitant of the star succumbed to its influence and crumbled away, the shining energy of its soul drifting on invisible currents into the silhouette. Nothing disturbed the silence now, a myriad metal rods once humming with energy cold and quiet in the lifeless expanse. Nothing was left of them but a rocky expanse and yawning chasms.
In the absence of life, It thrived. The constant chaos of living felt like nails pounding into Its skull and now that Life had died, It was at peace. Nothing suffered, nothing hurt, just the solace of silence and the gratitude of millions bereft of their misery.
It stared at the stars above, each shining beacon of hope shattering the brief moment of respite. How many of those stars housed prisoners of Life? How many of those stars drowned their pain in the cacophony of life, unable to see what they truly desired? The pounding in Its head crept back and It wept. There was no joy in this damnable task, no peace to be found until every star was black.
Life had no place in this universe.
Hello all! This is my first time running an TTRPG on the guild but I really wanted to try out Kids on Brooms. If you aren’t familiar with the system, don’t worry I’ll have all the info for it summarized in the OOC but for those of you familiar with D&D 5e, I’ve adapted the Strixhaven setting for the Kids on Broom system!
Despite the rather gloomy tone above, the beginning of our campaign will be fun and exciting, starting small with a good focus on getting our students (starting at 14-17 based on the year you start as) and you familiar with the school and the world! While people who have experience with both D&D and Kids on Brooms will find plenty of familiar things, I’ve heavily expanded on the setting and bled it into the modern day world so there is lots and lots of new stuff to experience for everyone!
I plan to have the OOC up in 5 - 7 days. Just wanted to see if people were interested in this before I brushed up all my rough drafts! I'll be looking for 3 - 5 players once I do post it!
