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.

I always write my IC posts in gray due to finding the white color pretty straining on the eyes.
@Mistress Dizzy Write as little or much backstory as you want. You're level 2. HP is max HP from lvl 1 + roll a dice for HP increase for lvl 2 (don't forget to add the con modifier). So if you have 1d8 as your HP die, you gain 1d8+8+con mod.
@ everyone, it's Friday! I remember setting today as the date I wanna get things rolling a bit faster. Please finish your CS so we can gain a bit of momentum and get this going. The OOC is waiting for you now. If you're struggling with character creation, you can also use pre-generated characters. There are a couple out there. Or just select a race and class randomly and have fun! This is not meant to be a long-ass campaign. You can test the waters :)
Welcome! This roleplay is a D&D 5e short story. The Death Knight's Squire is a fan-made adventure module meant for solo play, adapted here for a party of 2-4 players. The goal is for this to be a short, straightforward, and stress-free roleplay where posting comes easy. Please note that stress-free does not mean commitment-free. 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.
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
Rules For Participation
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.
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 an entire set of stats twice and take whichever you prefer. You can put any number where you want after that. Please share your stats in the OOC with a link to the roll. 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".
Rules for Posting and Behaviour
I am expecting you all to be decent humans who are welcoming to all who find this thread and trust you are all looking to make this a smooth experience, which includes helping other players by answering questions or guiding them on how to use the dice system on the guild. Treat this as if you're sitting in front of each other, do not let the anonymity of the internet make you less of a kind person than you'd otherwise be.
1. The GM might make mistakes at times. You may ask them about a call they made but for the smooth sailing of this, a GM call is to be accepted. 2. You must post once a week. If you miss this deadline, you will be removed from the RP. If this happens, be on your best behavior and don't start a fight. 3. I will be accepting max. 4 players at the same time. If one player drops out, the spot gets immediately opened up for another player to take. Yes, this will not "make sense" in-game but we will embrace the weirdness and roll with it nonetheless. 4. This is an LGBTQ-friendly space. I will not hesitate to kick you out. 5. This will NOT include "adult content". Refrain from mentions of sexual assault, substance abuse (including excessive alcohol consumption), or other such topics. 6. Combat can be written in detail but I ask you to show decent human restraint in how you treat your enemies. 7. All rules apply IC and OOC.
The GM reserves the right to boot you from this RP if you break any of these rules or are in general performing undesired behavior. You can be kicked without warning. Though I will likely give you a reason, I do not owe you an explanation.
By applying with a CS, you agree to the rules. And as always, post your CS in the OOC thread first.
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.
