D&D 5e: Reincarnated into Another World

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

All stories have a beginning and an ending...

Your story happens to begin at the end of your life on Earth.

Yes, sorry to say this but, you just died. And my, what a way to go...

Well...you got two choices now.

You can go on your merry way to what afterlife waits for you, or...

You can choose to be reincarnated in another world.

It seems...that the universe and its workings are not done with you yet.

So, what say you?

---

So, yes! This is the beginning of a D&D 5e game based off of the Reincarnation Isekai trope.

Character creation for this game is going to be a different (but I think it'd fun XD).

*First off, we will be using a Reincarnation Table to determine what your PC's, the Player Characters from Earth, are reincarnated into for their new lives. Only the DM will know the results of the Reincarnation Table, and will tell you your result once you have rolled. The DM may ask for more rolls if necessary.

*The characters will start off as Commoners and discover their classes as the game continues (based on choices and rolls of the dice). With that said, a list of preferred classes can help the DM provide opportunities for the PC accordingly.

*The backgrounds would reflect what the PC did during their previous life on Earth. For example, a YouTuber could have been an Entertainer, or a policeman could have been a City Watch.

*Stats can be rolled (4d6 and drop the lowest), or the PC's can take the Standard Array/Point Buy.

*Now, the world the characters are being reincarnated into is still undecided at the time of writing this interest check. However, this is where you can voice your opinions!

Do you want to be reincarnated in a known D&D World? Or would you like to explore a new world?

If you want the former, list off the world of your choice. If you prefer the latter, then I would like one piece of lore about this world, so that the world is not just created by the DM but also by the players. The lore can be as long or as little as you would like.

Other than that, please feel free to ask me any questions. ^_^

Could be fun. Would we be meeting at a particular time and playing on Discord, or posting in the forum?

Would we be posting sheets here, or using another site like Google Docs or Myth-Weavers?

Personally, I lean towards new worlds, as I like a chance to expand the map. As requested, here's some lore for your new world.

Inesas, the Sunken City

Inesas used to be on dry land, until the night of the comet. It filled the night sky, but a jealous and greedy god wanted a piece for himself. However, after breaking off a chunk, it slipped from his fingers and fell on the edge of a mountain lake, causing the land to shake and the edge to collapse, and a great wall of water poured out, wiping out a few villages as the waters raced down to the city itself, flooding it as it flowed through to the sea beyond.

The only land that was spared were the many hills of the city, and those lucky to reach one of them survived the floods.

Rather than abandon the sunken city, the people of Inesas decided under the rule of the Patriarch to rebuild it by sinking pilings around the islands, forming a city that seems to float on the water, linked by bridges and canals. It became a city of traders, be it one of the ships from far away kingdoms tying up to a warehouse or a lowly flatboat poling its way through the canals to make deliveries of goods.

There are many laws, both official and of custom against theft of goods and services. Contracts here are king, it's said. However, murder among the houses is a crime seldom prosecuted, as the great trading houses like to fight among themselves away from the eyes of the Patriarch's Watch.

An unwelcome visitor may disappear into the Patriarch's prison, or fall from a bridge in the dead of night.

After House Cardaires lost half its fleet and one of its heirs to pirates (and some say through the deliberate actions of the other houses), they converted their merchant ships into frigates with red sails and began taking the fight to the pirates under a letter of marque issued by the Patriarch. It's whispered (softly) that Houses Alberac and Rochessec were burned down to a man by Cardaires' Red Rovers when the pirates' path lead back to them.

It's said you can plot against the Patriarch, but only a dead man goes after House Cardaires and their Red Rovers.

Would we be posting sheets here, or using another site like Google Docs or Myth-Weavers?

@Expendable

We would post on the forum. ^_^

As for the sheets, it would be a combination of both to make things easier: Use a separate site like Myth-Weavers or Google Docs, and link the sheet in the forums here.

Thank you! XD

[Expendable]

I should say that one can contract with House Cardaires for a Red Rover escort. I'm happy you like my snippet.

[Dark Cloud]

Well Haruki aren't you ambitious? xD

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Dark Cloud

*Shrugs*
What can I say? A fun idea came to mind. XD

[Dark Cloud]

Ngl I like the idea of being sucked into a dnd setting. I'd totally love the idea of playing like a straight up pothead going 'woah dude, i can shoot magic.' or a miserable adult who got isekai'd after getting off work 'this is so much better than getting hit by a car'

[Vertigo]

Sure, I'm in!

And I'm fine with either an original world or an established D&D setting, depending on what the others want.

[Neianna86]

Sounds fun, like the actual DND cartoon.
Getting sucked in and having to deal with whatever consequences we face. I am all for it.
I'm fine with either, though if we're going to add lore then I think a new world would be better.
And hey, if we're all chipping in bits and pieces I'll add some of my own. In the meantime, here's the intro to the old cartoon:

@Dark Cloud@Neianna86@Vertigo@Expendable

Excellent! Thank you so much for your interest.
I think we've got enough interest for me to post the game thread itself. ^_^
The maximum number of players I'll accept is seven.

As it stands right now, it looks like we'll be going with a whole new D&D world for this game.

I'll get the game thread up. For those of you who have not yet contributed a piece of lore, please be sure to have it ready and posted.

Other than that, Roll a d100 to begin character creation. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I'm new to the server, not sure how to do dice rolls here. Or should I just roll someplace and give you the number?

@Expendable

Not a problem!

There is a dice roller here on this site. ^_^

If you go to the main page of this site, you'll see a bar on the right that reads 'Dice'. You can create a new campaign by clicking the green button that says "New Campaign", and then you can roll dice from there.

Then you can post rolls like this!
