Witcher RP

[Red7VII]

Just polling at this point. With the reinvigorated fandom birthed by the success of the Netflix series and the continued dedication from avid fans of the video games and the novels before it... Is anyone interested in a Witcher RP that takes place in that universe, but does not necessarily involve those specific characters?

I would imagine our cast would be completely original with maybe some light references to the infamous characters like the White Wolf and Yennifer.

I know Witcher RPs have been tried before over the years and they seemed to burn out fast after they start, which is something I'd like to avoid. Anyway, just curious if the interest is there and, if there is, I may try and put something together. If I do it, it would be at a level between Casual and Advanced. Thanks!

I just recently got into the games but I would totally be interested in an RP based in this universe

Goof stuff!

I, too, am just getting my feet wet with all The Witcher entries. Watched the Netflix series twice over and bought the video game trilogy (I'm about 25% into The Witcher 1 PC game) and I really want to get my hands on the novels as well just to do a full deep dive into that world.

The concept of sword and sorcery has always been an inviting one and I just thing with the allure and mystery that these tales seem to have with it, it could translate well into a narrative RPG. Heck, there's even a licenced Pen and Paper tabletop games already with its own rulebook, so there is mass amounts of resources from which we can pull to make this game interesting if it happens.

Just gonna sub to this. As I'm always up for a Witcher RP.

So what's the premise? Are we all Witchers/Hexers? Or something along those lines? I'm just curious.

[Red7VII]

Ideally, it would be your option. The goal would be to allow for several playable styles such as Witcher, Spellcaster, Humans of various professions (bounty hunter, outlaw, etc), Dwarves of various professions, etc. I like to keep things very customizable when it comes to players and their ability to create their characters.

[BigPapaBelial]

Interesting, okay. Cool.

I've seen a fair few Witcher RPs where everyone was a Witcher/Hexer and that's kinda how it went dry.

Like to see how this goes now.

Happy to know more people are getting into the Witcher! All of their games are on sale right now on GOG for dirt cheap at the moment.

Any rough ideas about the story and when it'll take place?

[Red7VII]

I've admittedly put in very little effort, yet. Wanted to make sure the effort I do put in pays off and that starts with making sure people even want to try playing it, but its encouraging to see the gradually growing interest so far. Would love to get 5 or 6 people at least and then I'll throw my pen to the paper, so to speak, and get to work.

[BigPapaBelial]

I think I've actually already got a character idea hah!

Either way, hope to see this get off the ground.

[Red7VII]

Just saw this in Advanced. Looks like it's open for applications if anyone is interested:

The Witcher: Under the Shadow

I am not currently associated with that one in any way, but it seems to already be off the ground for those looking for some quicker action than I can provide.

[Skull]

I’ll stick with what you plan to come up with. Possible ETA, or are you still waiting for more interest?

[NecroKnight]

@RedVII

Interested.

I'd love to participate in this! I have a couple of ideas for non-witcher characters I could play (maybe a bard?) to help to fill out the group!
