A Mansion in the Woods (Supernatural Mansion RP)

Lol, my internet comes back and now no one is posting. xD

A D&D game.

Be it for thievery, the unlawful use of magic, your genetics, or whatever reason, you find yourself trapped in a freshly made cell in a dungeon. Travok Thornbreak, the dwarf; Trear Oakfell, the elf; and Ashkar Branor, the man. You three have been brought to this dungeon by cart, blindfolded and gagged, you do not know where this dungeon lies.

The fourth, Norixius Tarhun, the dragonborn, was in the cell when you previous three arrived, though by the look of it, he wasn't there long. In fact, he'd only arrived to the cell that morning. The cell itself is carved into the stone that surrounds the dungeon, all but the wall that leads to the hallway made of roughly hewn rock. The bars themselves are brand new, and show no signs of wear.

The stench of the dead, tortured, and dying fill the air, even the guards themselves wear cloth around their mouths and noses to hold off the stink. A young but frail man is huddled in the corner, his dirty rags and abused form giving evidence to the idea that he was the one person in the cell who hadn't just arrived at the dungeon. Aside from his absent murmurring, the sound of the chatter of nearby but out of sight guards, and the wailing of the damned, the sound of a dozen picks against rock reaches out from one of the larger side passages.

A few moments pass, and then the man turns towards the three who'd just arrived, despite having ignored Norixius' presence and any attempts from him to get the man's attention. He doesn't speak, nor does he move from his position, but he stares. At Travok specifically, with the wide-eyed look of an animal inflicted with the desperate hunger of starvation, but there was no malice or ill intention, just pure desperation.

A D&D game.

I'm going to use an online site for the character sheets, found here. Once you've joined the campaign there, make a post here saying something along the lines of "Made a character" and then give that character's name so i know who you'll be playing. If you don't want to use dmroyale, then PM me and we discuss other options.

We'll be starting out at level one. As for rolling stats: 4d6 drop the lowest, it doesn't have to be in order. We will be using feats, and the lingering injuries optional rules.

== If you're a magic user, it appears that the cantrips aren't working for the DM side of DMRoyale, so when you make your character make a note here of what cantrips you chose. ==

On Joining DMRoyale

Click the link i supplied, it should take you to the main page of the website. Register to it, and then create a character. It will prompt you to supply a name for your character, do so.

After you've done that it will take you to a page that has links to all your characters and campaigns, you'll probably only have the one character. Click the character's name and it will bring you to that character's sheet.

Fill it out. If you don't have a player's handbook or don't know how to fill it out properly, message me, i'll be ready to answer any questions you have.

After you've filled out your character sheet, move on to the next tab and fill out your backstory, and then the next tab for your spells.

On the fourth tab, setting, copy and paste this code ( 6b0c2859e335f0d556070962db90e71c ) into the box and click 'update character'. After that, you're done, and i should now be able to see your character on my side, all you have to do now is make your post here on the forum.

A D&D game.

My title is so original, don't you think? xD You can find the dice section here.
This will be a 5e D&D game.

About Me

This is the... fourth? game i'll have DM'd, and the second group. Therefor, i'm not the most experienced, and there are a dozen and one things i need to work on, some i know about, some i don't. That said, if you feel that i could change my approach during the game then feel free to speak up, i'm always ready to hear criticism to become a better DM.

About the Game

As i said in the preface, we'll be using the fifth edition, as it's the only edition i have any experience with. The setting will be one of my own creation, and i'll say this now: You'll be starting in a jail cell, so naturally, you won't have much (if any) equipment (at least, on your body that is.) I'll allow some rolls to happen at the beginning to see if you were able to smuggle something small into the jail cell with you. An arcane focus, a couple coins, etc.

Given the name of the forum, and the experience i'm sure at least most of you will have, i don't know if i need to say this, but my current group has problems with it so i'm going to say it anyway. I'll be pushing for roleplay. Like, instead of saying "I attack the goblin" go "With one fluid motion, (charactername) draws his sword and brings it to bear across the goblin's chest."

Also, since we're in a forum, feel free to continue through with a series of rolls without waiting for my affirmation. The most common example i could think of would be an attack. Instead of rolling your to-hit and then waiting for me to tell you if you hit, roll the to-hit and the damage at the same time. If you don't hit, i'll say so when i post next, and i'll ignore your damage roll.

As for homebrew rules, i only have one. This rule may change during the game, but if it does, i'll announce so so everyone knows.

1.) When you strike in unarmed combat, (and hit) it becomes a contest, the attacker's Strength vs the defender's constitution. If the attacker beats the defender's constitution by 10 the defender is knocked prone, if the attacker beats the defender's constitution by 15, the defender is knocked unconscious. Elsewise, the 1 damage is dealt, and nothing happens.

About the Setting

Your characters will begin as fresh prisoners in a dungeon owned by the new king, who has enacted a number of new laws. Chiefly amoung them, he has outlawed the use of magic, and has ordered the extermination of all non-human beings. Elves, Dwarves, and other sentient races of which have a nation are the exception due to the threat of war. Regardless, these creatures still mysteriously go missing now and then, slowly, but surely.

The Introduction

Be it for thievery, the unlawful use of magic, your genetics, or whatever reason, you find yourself trapped in a freshly made cell. The floor, ceiling and three walls are made of roughly hewn rock, carved out of the mountain. The bars on the fourth wall show no sign of wear, looking as if they'd just come out of the smithy's, and the room can fit nine standing humanoids comfortably.

The stench is palpable, giving evidence to the fact that while the cell may be new, the dungeon itself, and the prisoners held within, are not. Faintly, the sound of a dozen picks against stone can be heard between the brief recesses of the screams of the tortured and damned. Others stay in the cell with you, namely, a frail but young man, huddled in the corner. He wears the rags of a prisoner, as do you, and hasn't said a thing since you arrived.

A D&D game.

As a side note, while I DM in person this would be my first forum based DnD, so I may make some errors in the beginning. I'll probably just take a look on how others are doing it, shouldn't take too long to get the hang of it.

@Hekazu

Don't worry, this is also my first forum based game, so we'll learn together! xD With the dice system this site has though i don't think it'll be all that different from an in-person game. I'll start working on the actual thread then.

Interested. xD

The second the fire came out, so was Blink's blade. He didn't act else wise however, just having it ready for the rest of the conversation.

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

@Hael You confuse me, but for the sake of not starting an argument that will accomplish naught but worsen things, I'll just leave it. Maybe later we can respectfully debate it but for now I'm too bothered to trust myself to. xD

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

@Lauder While we're speaking of things that bother us I need to throw in that I'm pretty sure I've seen you and @Hael(mostly/entirely Hael actually) denying techs on a false basis. Unintentionally I'm sure, but it irks me in a way to see say, very long lives to immortality thrown out due to it being unrealistic, when it's on par with warp drives in that particular department, if not more realistic than them.

My point is: sure, ban it for how OP it is, but don't ban it for how unrealistic it is, because it's more realistic than a hell of a lot of other techs you've approved. That was just an example, and I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job it's just, well as Lauder said, it bothers me.

Edit: and sorry if I sounded rude I didn't mean to. I've just rewritten that like 8 times and I gave up and just sent what I had.
