I mostly enjoy writing in the Casual section of the guild. Character development and exploring character relationships motivate me. I like to really think myself into my character and their view on others and the world around them which is why I prefer to stick to one character per roleplay. I love world-building but I am also easily overwhelmed with very detailed concepts I haven't been met with before. So you could say I love a decent amount of world-building and prefer original builds. Once everyone has settled, expanding that world and its concept is a great way to create more depth and keep me as a player hooked as I love to discover new things!
My favorite genre is and has always been fantasy. I guess you could say I love escapism to a point where I like to flee the mundane world entirely. I also feel drawn to sci-fi roleplays but I have noticed that those usually intimidate me. I feel like I am not adept at writing about technology and all that sci-fi goodness so I mostly just pine over how awesome some OOCs look and never apply to them.
When it comes to fantasy I feel right at home. For my mind, it is much easier to grasp magical concepts and worlds than sci-fi ones. As a result of this, all the worlds I write up (be it here as a GM or elsewhere) tend to be fantastical in one way or another. I especially enjoy adventure RPs and witch RPs. I like to see new magical systems and am always eager to learn more about the worlds I RP in.
Additionally, all my characters are queer, always. Since I am queer myself and can't imagine playing straight ^^
Although the days of witch hunts are long past us, life isn't roses. While the upcoming election is threatening witches with a potential anti-witch politician claiming the title of president, unrest is stirring in the corners of the world. A rise in threats has been detected - unnatural beings, magical beasts, and other supernatural phenomena pull media attention and feed directly into an anti-witch campaign.
A D&D One-Shot. A group of adventurers is hired to find the missing grandson of a wealthy couple visiting the town. He was taken by a mysterious knight who rode his horse into the deadly woods nearby, taking the young boy with him. But the knight is not a simple man, he is said to be a resurrected ghostly figure forever in search for a squire, kidnapping young boys who never return home.
Wandering Topside [1x1]
The Cult of the Dragon has come to Phlan, a lawless refuge on the Moonsea. Now, with no significant authority to stop the cult, other power groups in the Realms – the Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Lords' Alliance, and even the Zhentarim – must unite to stop the cult from fulfilling its dark purpose in the city. Meanwhile, Rhana, a drow rogue with a questionable past, and Salissa, a dhampir bard with flair, find themselves somehow involved in this as they tackle different missions aimed at stopping the cult.

This is just my character archive. I have recently reorganized it. I made a whole new thread for it, moved the CS I wanted to keep for memories sake over and am now less ashamed to have people stumble upon my creations.
Some helpful tips on running and organizing your roleplay and what to do when your story is concluded. This should help you when running a multi-arc roleplay. You will also find some tips on setting up an Interest Check and OOC here.
Quirks ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
I always write my IC posts in gray due to finding the white color pretty straining on the eyes.
Before any additions: Stat roll 1: 10(0), 12(+1), 10(0), 10(0), 8(-1), 6(-2) Stat roll 2: 8(-1), 13(+1), 9(-1), 12(+1), 11(0), 7(-2)
Dang, your character surely got born into this world with some crazy luck. Poor fella. Still, someone with those stats decided to be an adventurer and give it a shot. Sounds like someone truly capable of hard work, who is used to pulling themselves out of the mud and continuing anyway. Shows some real strength of character and determination for sure. I'm imagining this village kid who always ran around with a pitchfork trying to act out hero stories yet always coming home bruised, falling off fences, accidentally hurting themselves with their shenanigans.
"Tommy fell off a tree again!" "Why does he keep climbing up if he can't come down?" "Says he's practicing."
Someone who couldn't be knocked down spiritually cause they were too stubborn to give up. Or perhaps someone who was always weaker and less fortunate than others of their tribe but had a strong urge for adventure and exploration and went out to seek those things regardless of their bad track record with luck. I imagine someone like that would be somewhat resourceful. Would you like to give those stats a shot?
The glaring white eyes, empty holes in its dark foggy form, stared into the nothingness before it until they fixated on its chosen prey. Through the barrier of shielding thrown up in a protective manner by Scott, the beast's eyes lay on Simon. The white hues glimmered for a moment as the dog bared its teeth which were just as white and shapeless as its eyes. The impact of unseen necrotic magic on the force field could be felt by Scott alone, to anyone else the attack occurred without their knowledge. The beast let out a low, deep growl followed by a very silent but menacing snarl. Its gaze hit Stormy. The necrotic energy pressing into the protective shield invisible to everyone's eyes. The dog-shaped creature began to pace, a few steps up and a few steps down, and then POUNCED straight at the magic shield. The physical impact on the shield sent shockwaves through it, the barrier visibly trying to restrain the impact and sustain its form. As the characters on the other side of the shield began to come to the realization that this creature might just break through, the beast made for another pounce that might just break the barrier protecting them.
OOC Note: Zhalia's post begins where I left off on her last post, this is before the creature pounces.
Everything turned into chaos. Zhalia was still staring at the beast, her heart pounding though she kept her body still and calm. The fog still danced around her fingertips as she froze in her kneeling position. She had been wrong. And she had been right. She had though she had recognized the fog, but it wasn't what she thought. And she had been right in thinking it was impossible. They had used fog in her coven at times, similar like this, as a foreboding sign, as a way to obscure themselves when on the hunt.
The creature that stood in front of them was none Zhalia had ever seen before and from the reaction, she could tell neither of her companions had met with such a beast either. Manon was the first to suggest they run and Zhalia felt like it was the best choice. But it was against her curious nature to just get up and bolt. Simon would be of no help, he insisted himself. He can't run on these crutches either.
Zhalia slowly lifted her body off the floor to stand, feeling relatively safe with the protective shield between them and the beast. Its eyes set on Simon right as Phalko mentioned swords. Zhalia's face turned to them sharply. Her fingers were clutching her own dagger. She hadn't even noticed how she had pulled it from her boot. It wasn't safe to ask for a sword right now. And where would Phalko have it? In their room? That wouldn't help them. Zhalia set her eyes onto the beast and looked past the obvious into the magical.
The moment this beast had stepped close enough, she had known its presence. Necromancy was her playing field and she could recognize a being of necrotic energy when she saw one. Scott, the one who set up the barrier, a smart witch it seemed, asked her what she knew about the beast. Whether she knew more than them. "This is not a demonic creature. It's necrotic but I haven't seen such a thing before." Her sense to determine any type of undead seemed to fail her. "It's not a mythic creature. This dog is undead. I can't tell what it is." Was it a ghost? Was it a reanimated corpse? What magic brought you forth?
In that moment the beast jumped at the barrier, Zhalia instantly lifted her dagger and pressed her feet into the ground. Her free hand ready to cast magic. "I suggest we leave. Right now." She turned on her heel. Everything in her screamed not the turn her back to the enemy but she pressed the feeling down. She could not win a fight with these people around, not without casualties. As she began to quicken her pace, she watched the others react. Should they attempt the same, she would run out of the woods with them. She knew the way. The day she got lost in the woods was yet to come. And once they made it out of the forest, she would have to deal with a more unpleasant thing than this monster... Lina Calvo.
We have enough interest to get this going. We can start pretty quickly once we get some CS. I don't need to make an elaborate OOC for this, thankfully.
You can start working on your characters. For this, your characters would already know each other and have some experience as a group. So you're travelling together.
@Mistress Dizzy Glad to have your interest :) I am sure we can help you figure it out. As for dice, on the main page on the right side it will say dice. Otherwise, here's a link.
Hello! I am usually one for many words but I want to keep it short this time.
This roleplay is supposed to be a short story. The Death Knight's Squire is a fan-made adventure module meant for solo play. It is pretty straightforward. I am offering to run it as a GM with a group of 2-4 players. This is supposed to be a low-stress RP where you can simply log in and write a post without too much thought put into it. Though I do still require you to have decent grammar and write at least one paragraph, preferably two with some character insight. This RP probably runs best if all participants are able to post at least once a week.
Once upon a time, hung from a tree a black dark knight called to thee 'Dear my child, come, come to me, an adventure I guarantee' Whisked away on horse at night a son was stolen oh so bright But in the deepest starless night, a hero set out clueless of fright And went to steal back what once was the knight's required squire
A few rules need to be established for me to feel stress-free when running this.
1. You may only choose classes from the Player's Handbook (though you may choose subclasses from other official sources). I understand some won't like this but it makes it significantly easier for me. 2. You may choose any official race from any official source. 3. Stats will be rolled - you may roll twice and take whichever you prefer. You can put any number where you want after that. 4. All rolls for this RP must be done with the guild dice and always within the same "dice campaign". Additionally, please label your dice rolls. E.g. "Investigation Check" or "Stat Rolls". 5. You get the starter equipment that is listed with your class and background. 6. You may choose any background from any official source or choose none. The GM reserves the right to refuse any background if it doesn't fit. 7. You must be a "hero". Whatever your internal motivation is, your character must be willing to offer help. Best suited are of course characters with the alignment "good".
You will start at level 2. You get your max HP from level 1 and roll for the additional HP for level 2. (Example: As a monk, you'd have 8+1d8+constition modifier HP). Death is possible, so be aware of that. If your character dies, you may make a new one.
I will not be playing a character in this, so I am solely GMing. The adventure can end in total failure, partial success, or full success.
You can skip this if you'd rather not know beforehand as this spoils the premise of the adventure.
The Death Knight's Squire starts out with two desperate grandparents needing help to retrieve their grandson, who was taken by the Death Knight to become his new squire. This mysterious knight flees into the nearby woods where our adventuring group will be heading to retrieve the child and possibly put an end to the Death Knight.

@Salsa Verde Perhaps this would offer the opportunity to ask one or two of the people who didn't initially get accepted to have a go at it? Depending on how much we downsize if at all.
