So you know how like since there's been a trend of these "World Travel" type LNs, mangas, and animes that are usually adaptations? You know where the protag lands into some world with a bunch of gamey mechanics and usually has some gimmick or superior knowledge that he uses to get really good over the rest of everyone or something along the lines of that?

Well I decided to beat them to the punch by combining these very gamey fantasy settings with a school setting and mixing some parodic humor in it. As the title indicates it's a school for adventurers.

You're all students from various backgrounds trying to get official and make it out there as a full fledged adventurer.


Setting details


The world is obviously a fantasy world littered with monsters,dungeons, and wild magic. Ordinary people simply can't cope with such hazards and it is only with the help of brave women & men simply known as Crawlers that things are kept from being too hectic. These people have something in them, a certain tangible essence that is known in its abbreviated form as "PC". Non-PC essence people are simply known as NPCS, who are most numerous compared to the PCs.

However whether either driven by a noble drive to help others or perhaps a thirst for fame, excitement, and or riches potential Crawlers rise from the everyday masses. Their spirits maybe ready for adventuring but they are inexperienced which can lead to disastrous results. This is where is where the crawler academies come in.

These academies are open to all who manage to pass the entrance exam teach all prospective Crawlers the fundamentals of adventuring such as the archetype each person fits into and how effectively cultivate those abilities with other preexisting skills and basically how to murderhobo. These academies also function as a sort adventurers guild as well with novices being sent on quests that matches their skill level until they proper adventures who then either continue working for this branch or head elsewhere.

Anyway you'll be novices in a party trying to become official crawlers in a small newly established town. This realistically it's a nice tutorial zone. It's not too tamed which means you'll actually have things to do and practice on but it's not some monster teeming hellhole.

Now can I get any takers?

Hmm thinking of adding a certain type of gimmick to this, but it might end up scaring you guys away.

This seems like fun. It reminds me of the Discworld novels from Terry Pratchett.

Well I hope you're not expecting it to be discworld-esque as that is a book series I haven't touched.

But regardless welcome aboard

Right so the gimmick is to put tabletop roleplay elements since you might as well go full circle and actually implement the pseudo-game mechanics these works put out that are derived from RPGs .

Since you didn't say anything before I assume it was alright. I prefer if people give open communication rather than staying silent.

That being said I'm willing to drop it if I get enough people voice their opinion.
