Kagami is a nice name. But I'm not sure it would be a good fit for the land where Snow White takes place. Snow White is a German fairy tale and Kagami sounds more like a name for a Japan inspired fictional country than a name for a Germany inspired fictional country.

Perhaps something like Ebenholm or Siebenberg or Zwergen would suit the land better.


Yeah...I got a little stuck when trying to come up with a name for Snow White's kingdom, and decided Kagami as a stand in.

I'll change the name to Ebenholm. Thank you for your suggestions. ^_^

That damn pandemic ruined everything. :P

Rapunzel’s Kingdom is called Corona.


Thank you! For the life of me, I could not remember the name and it was driving me nuts!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the silence on my part. Had a sudden, last-minute family visit over the past week and weekend. ^^"

I'll try and finish up the Location Lore in the world as soon as possible.

The locations are finally complete! Sorry for the wait, everyone. ^^"
It's time for me to start on the beginning IC post!

But before that...after much mulling and thinking, I think it might be best to let you guys have a say: Where you would you like your characters to first meet and begin your adventures?




@Benzaiten
I wanted to check in with you. Are you still interested? ^^"

That's an interesting proposition...
If there isn't a consensus, I may be rolling for it.

Hi. First off this is an amazing campaign idea that I wish I had thought of first. xD Second, if you're still accepting I'd like to offer my hat the ring. I've got tons of D&D experience, though mostly for the older editions, but I'd love the chance to better familiarize myself with 5th Edition.

Thank you very much! XD

I'm still accepting! And I'm more than happy to help you with the rules for 5e. ^_^ Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Well for characters, at the moment I'm thinking of Captain Li Shang, who I imagine would end up being some kind of Fighter and/or Monk. I once played in a campaign a long time ago that did a setting where I played as Captain Hook so I guess he could be another option.

Ooh, that's good to know...!

Interestingly, one of the accepted Player Characters right now is the Great Stone Dragon from Mulan. XD
They're played by @Lucius Cypher.

"In a land of dragons,
one hero is called.
Where war was waged,
beyond a Great Wall."


Name: Captain Li Shang

Appearance


Stats & Abilities

Personality:
On the surface, Shang appears to be stern and disciplined. He puts on the face of a confident, tough-as-nails soldier. But all that pride and no-nonsense attitude is just an exterior. Underneath all that is a young who often feels in over his head and has no idea how to deal with that or even how to ask for help. He wouldn't want to risk bringing dishonor to his family after all.

Backstory:
The son of General Li, Head of the Chinese Imperial Army - Shang was groomed from a young age to take up the sword and become a soldier. And Shang was quite talented, consistently staying at the top of his class in tactical training and military affairs. This combined with an "impressive military lineage" that his father was quite proud of, all but guaranteed Shang an officer's rank. That chance came when the Hun Army invaded China. At the outset of the war, General Li appointed Shang as Captain and left him in charge of training the newly conscripted troops until Chi-Fu - the Emperor's Council - believed them ready to join the war effort.

The men Shang had been assigned proved rowdy and difficult to train. And one of them - Fa Ping - proved especially difficult to train. Shang was even ready to send Ping home until the latter gritted his teeth and finally started making progress. This seemed to trigger a cascade among the men. From that point on, the training went smoothly and quickly. And although Chi-Fu had his reservations, he was given an urgent requesting reinforcements at the front lines. And So Shang and his men went on the march.

This time in the story, Shang and his men were able to successfully reach the encampment in time to save the life of General Li in addition to some his men and the village itself. Another change in the story was that the ambush in the mountains never came, due to the cannon never being fired by accident. This allowed the remains of the Chinese Army to regroup in the Imperial City. There they would have to settle in and defend the palace against a siege by the Huns. It was a long and grueling effort, but eventually Ping got the idea to use fireworks as a way to hide where their cannons were being fired from. With this they were able to whittle down the Hun Army until only the elites remained. In the midst of the battle, Ping was injured and had to be rescued by General Li while Shang held off the final assault by Shan Yu.

In the aftermath, the war was won. Ping was revealed to be a woman named Mulan. And although their laws demanded that she pay the price for impersonating a soldier, her actions were what largely led to their victory. And so in his wisdom, the Emperor granted Fa Mulan a full pardon and honored her, in addition to Shang, as heroes of China. Mulan left China on what she said would be a short journey, but never returned. Worried about what fate may have befallen her, Shang slipped away from his duties and also left China in order to try and find the missing Mulan.

"I wish... to bring my family honor. And to find out whether I was meant for more than just a soldier's lot."

I kinda like the "roll for it" idea, personally. xD

Out of curiosity, why did you alter the story the way you did?

Gives Shang a chance to be as much of a contributor to the effort as Mulan was. Also it's a lot easier for Shang to leave on a journey if he remains a Captain rather than replacing his father as General.

By the way, can I just say I love the delicious irony of the Great Stone Dragon you came up with? Especially with the context of Mushu's actions and motivations.

Hmm, would've liked to give Shang a horse, but too expensive - especially for a monk's starting gold. Oh well, it's not a great loss.
