_{Sorry for the multiple pings.}

@Benzaiten, Aren is approved!

@Asura, Lillian is approved. I'll have to get you to PM me some details: If Lillian has a deity/patron, you can hit me up and we could work on who they may be. Also if you have any backstory details that you want to discuss, we can do that too. Otherwise she's gucci.

@Neianna86, Haelion seems good to me. We'll have to chat about the Genasi royalty and this Trickster God as well, it'll be fun :P

@Bartimaeus, Sen Rak is accepted. Quite possibly the most articulate and simply glorious sheet I've ever seen. Bravo.

@webboysurf, I love em ^^ He's lookin good to me.

@Fading Memory, your bird is simply a pogchamp. Accepted.

@Lurking Krog, things seem fine in the mechanics department - I'll have to getcha to make a Guild sheet as well, then I'll be able to accept Tolrish ^^

Alrighty folks, we seem to have a very fun cast here ^^ I'm excited to see how they'll interact. If your sheet has been approved, you can move 'em on over to the CS Tab! If there's any questions, or suggestions perhaps, feel free to speak up.
I'll be working on the 1st IC post in the meantime.

If I missed tagging you, you have permission to shame me.
No need to post your sheets here if you've already done so, I'm gonna start going over them in detail right now. At some point I'll also be adding a section in the world info that mentions any places described in your sheets just so we can get that down.

Perils of Xepreath - Character-driven Adventures

Perils of Xepreath

Xepreath, Realm of Man

Xepreath is a relatively young planet. And in its youth, it is an unharnessed land, possessesing a vast, unbridled well of magic. Said magic can be held accountable for the creation of man itself, and all their ilk. It is said that Xepreath's magic is so great that even the gods, and beings of similar power, were drawn to the planet from far and wide. Yet, what may appear to be a blessing is not always so. Alongside such raw power comes a seemingly ungovernable arcane chaos. Said chaos has been the plight of man since its inception. And the only reason they have managed to survive thusfar is due to the natural ebb and flow of such energies - the lulls in the magical fluxes during which they can recover. But the lulls seem to be.. shortening. The fluxes are changing - increasing in power. Among many things, these fluxes are tearing at the borders that seperate one plane from another - causing other planes to seep into ours and vice-versa. Rifts are opening. Things are warping, changing. Over the last two decades, this has become the worry of every nation of Xepreath: What will become of us if this isn't held at bay?

Nations

Lonthinn Empire - The most industrially-progressed and militarily-structured nation of Xepreath. Holds negative views on the other nations and is pretty much hostile to them, at least in unofficial capacities. Heavily-forested, temperate lands.
Xernoa - A sizable but mostly barren land, with patches of prairies. Mostly reclusive, but holds a strong governmental face.
Allyanik - A partially-untamed scape of land with colder northern territory, and warmer southern territory. Has solid military presence despite non-ideal geographical circumstances.
Scithia - A region wartorn by the magical fluxes of Xepreath. Its governmental and societal structures are very weak, and the northern portions of the nation are flooded with beasts from the magical rifts of the Mallaene Mountains. The region is rain-forested to the north, and tropical to the south, and the region's heavy rains rarely cease.
Tembloran Coalition - A swampy and unconquerable landscape, the land of the Tembloran Coalition - which takes in refugees of societal prejudice - is largely unapproachable. It is headed by ousted races like Lizardfolk, Thri-keen, and Goblinoids - but the large continent-island to the east is held tightly by the more fey-aligned peoples.

Pantheon

Lehtal - An ancient and, simply, unresponsive god. Most of the Lonthinn Empire worships this Deity. Domains are Faith and Obedience. Lawful Good.
Runaish - A wise but young-in-soul god that holds a loose sense of benevolence. Founder of The Red Wraiths. Presiding over the Domain of Balance. Chaotic Good.
Algonne - A, fittingly, chaotic and care-free god-creature of unknown origin. Widely disliked by those of Xepreath, and even the other gods. Domain is Chaos. Chaotic Evil.

More TBD by us!

Our role

Some years ago, the nations, aside from the Lonthinn Empire, embraced a group of brave wanderers who appeared from seemingly nowhere and called themselves 'The Red Wraiths'. In truth, The Red Wraiths were simple followers of Runaish. In Runaish's desire to stifle the imbalance of Xepreath, he sought to reach out to some of those who would listen - and grant some of them his blessings.

But over time, the Red Wraiths were diluted, in a sense. No longer are they all reverers of Runaish - although many of them are, considering his benevolent nature - they are now partly just travelers of capability. The nations promote the Red Wraiths as the glue that strains to hold Xepreath together - and in a sense, they are right. The nations of Xepreath would surely be in a worse place without them.

The Red Wraiths have one job, but it's one very important job: Stem the wounds which are opened by Xepreath's chaotic magical spills, providing reprieve to anyone they can. They serve as a form of reserve-force, scattered about the world of Xepreath, ready to act at a moment's notice.

We stand among the Red Wraiths. We are one of a couple dozen squads amongst their numbers, and whether we joined due to a calling from Runaish, or because we just wanted to help, or because we owe a debt to specific people, we're here. And we answer the Red Wraith's call.

Hello there, my friends!

Welcome to what I hope will become a great collaborative masterpiece that tells a tale of a group of fuckos who actually managed to do something good despite all the bullshit that they got themselves into.

I've been wanting to scrape up enough inspiration to do something of a DnD game of my own making, and it seems here I am! Except, I don't want it to just be my own. That can be a bit boring sometimes, don't you think? So, I'm bringing it out in the open so I can make something great with a few others, hopefully. Let's build this world up together!

I'm looking for about 5-8 players, including myself, for this RP - and it is an RP. I often feel that tabletop projects on the guild are less rp and more action-y, but I like a healthy mix of both, as the tags and theming might suggest. I'm keeping the information very simple to start out - mostly because I am welcoming new players to DnD, of which I have one interested already. Your ability to RP and write are much more important than your leet dnd skillz.

But uhh, yeah, I don't want to ramble too long or give a big textwall, so here is me checking for interest!
Below I'll include some rules and a sheet, simply to weed out those who may not like the style. So, let's see who's in, shall we?

RP Rules

Standard guild rules. Don't be a prick :P
GM word is final, of course, but that does not mean rulings are not to be questioned. I'll let you know when discussion is closed<3
You don't have to use my sheet(the coding is kinda a mess), but you must include all the info on it.

DnD Rules

^{This will probably be a jumbled list in no particular order.}
House rules/Custom rules

• Wizards of the Coast™ official content only, unless otherwise specified. I can be persuaded if it isn't absurd.
• In character creation you can either take your classes' recommended equipment, or start with 50gp and purchase gear yourself.
• More TBD

Other rules

• Our characters start at level 3.
• For rolling, we do 4d6-minus-lowest. You can retry for a different array once. If you have questions, ask. Roll using the site's rolling system, link the rolls.
• Racial bonuses go to any ability score you want, as per Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
• More TBD.

McDaniel's brow furrowed in annoyance as she felt a hand wrap around her arm once again and start tugging her along. Said hand belonged to one whom could be considered her only close friend -- Natalie. Natalie was Human, which didn't matter to McDaniel, and was the first person to really show any interest in the Aussie since her move to the U.S. And considering she had felt rather lost in the states at the time, it was rather convenient to make a friend who knew their way around. But Natalie was a bit.. different from McDaniel's coolheaded demeanor. She was care-free, energetic, and openly very adventurous. Which meant she pretty much dragged the redhead along like she was a dog on a leash. A big dog.

"This was a mistake.."

"Oh hush, this is so exciting! Plus, if I wasn't here you'd probably be sulking in a corner somewhere."

There was a slight pause that somehow seemed indignant, almost. "I do not sulk."

It wasn't exactly standard fare for a Human to attend traditional Witch festivals - nor was it technically against any rules - but McDaniel wasn't a huge stickler for precedent. Plus, Natalie wouldn't shut up about it once McDaniel had mentioned it in passing. As long as she didn't blurt out something airheaded, hopefully her Human curiosities would go unnoticed.

"Riiight, sure, sure. Oh! Look here, there's a speech or somethin going on!"

Said speech in question was spoken from the lips of none other than Lina Calvo. McDaniel brushed Natalie's hand off as they both began to tune into the speech that was already partially underway. In truth, McDaniel had always seen such speeches more as fluff - but at least it was good-natured fluff. And Lina seemed to enjoy it, at least. Probably. She didn't know the Coven Head very closely, considering she tended to avoid that sort of thing. But either way, as the speech came to an end, so did the mundanity. Lina soon presented a display of her Evocation magic, creating a sparkle that almost matched the one in Natalie's eyes as she watched on.

It was almost visual how hard she was trying to hold back a squeak of joy.

McDaniel rolled her eyes and let her gaze sweep over the crowd around them. "Fuckin' witchaboo.."
None of the faces in direct line-of-sight seemed particularly familiar to her, so she turned her eyes back to her friend.
"Right mate, I promised you an hour. Go bother someone else. And don't cause any trouble or you'll never see one'a these again, I swear it on-"
By the time she turned to deliver the warning, McDaniel found herself alone. Her eyes darted to the people around her, yet Nat was nowhere to be seen. Probably already talking some poor sod's ear off. The girl let loose a sigh of relief.

"Right.." She mumbled to nobody in particular, before she wandered off towards the food-tents, intent on staving off some of the light chill with a warm snack.

Not only is HP overrated, but so are stats.

CLOSED [DnD5e] Perils of Xepreath - Character-driven Adventures

@Lurking Krog Nice stats :P

Tracking weight is generally just tedious, so I'd probably say any object under 5 pounds could just be ignored for carrying capacity purposes.

I haven't decided the XP system yet, but it will probably be milestone-based since we won't be having constant combat.

Good to hear folks ^^
Picking between my character ideas was painful tbh, lol.

Also I'd say Gunslinger is fine @Lurking Krog.
