My power is out. The website for the power company says it won't be restored until 11:30pm. If that's true, there will probably be no IC replies today.
Bio
My timezone is Eastern Standard, in case you need to know that sort of thing. I am very much a nerd, I like videogames and comic books. If you just want to chill and chat with me about videogames and comics, I'm totally down for that. I am more knowledgeable about the DC universe, when it comes to Marvel I know very little. My favorite Superhero is Superman and my favorite Batman villain is Mister Freeze, but I pretty much love all characters in the DC universe. As for video games, I usually stick in the range of anything with a good story. I've played the whole BioShock series, some of the Final Fantasys, both Portal games, all three of the Batman Arkham series and a whole bunch more. Right now I'm working on completing Persona 3 and 4, and Dragon Age Inquisition.
Hey guys, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a D&D campaign to help give me some practice with being a DM. I have some experience under my belt, so I'm not going into this blindly. I usually DM for a group of my friends that get together and play in real life. I have two campaigns running currently, and had one finished campaign, with the other two closely behind. Anyway, I tend to keep to the rules in the DM's guide with some leniency. If there's anything more you want to know about me as a DM please ask! I will also take in new players, if there is anyone interested.
Anyway, I figured I'd leave it up to the players to figure out what campaign we are doing. I'll probably cap this at 6 players and I tend to stick to the existing published campaigns. So, here's a list of campaigns I have access to:
an adventure that will take characters from levels 1 through 6, establishing your party's claim on a world they've just begun to explore—and to strip-mine for profit.
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner—and you are invited.
Famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm needs you to complete a simple quest. Thus begins a mad romp through the wards of Waterdeep as you uncover a villainous plot involving some of the city’s most influential figures.
A grand urban caper awaits you. Pit your skill and bravado against villains the likes of which you’ve never faced before, and let the dragon hunt begin!
In the city of Waterdeep rests a tavern called the Yawning Portal, named after the gaping pit in its common room. At the bottom of this crumbling shaft is a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring adventurers. Known as Undermountain, this dungeon is the domain of the mad wizard Halaster Blackcloak. Long has the Mad Mage dwelt in these forlorn depths, seeding his lair with monsters, traps, and mysteries—to what end is a constant source of speculation and concern.
This adventure picks up where Waterdeep: Dragon Heist leaves off, taking characters of 5th level or higher all the way to 20th level should they explore the entirety of Halaster’s home. Twenty-three levels of Undermountain are detailed herein, along with the subterranean refuge of Skullport. Treasures and secrets abound, but tread with care!
Giants have emerged from their strongholds to threaten civilization as never before. Hill giants are stealing all the grain and livestock they can, while stone giants have been scouring settlements that have been around forever. Fire giants are press-ganging the small folk into the desert, while frost giant longships have been pillaging along the Sword Coast. Even the elusive cloud giants have been witnessed, their wondrous floating cities appearing above Waterdeep and Baldur’s Gate. Where is the storm giant King Hekaton, who is tasked with keeping order among the giants?
The humans, dwarves, elves, and other small folk of the Sword Coast will be crushed underfoot by the onslaught of these giant foes. The only chance at survival is for the small folk to work together to investigate this invasion and harness the power of rune magic, the giants’ weapon against their ancient enemies, the dragons. The only way the people of Faerun can restore order is to use the giants’ own power against them.
If you are interested please say something and let me know which campaigns you'd be most interested in! And we'll do the most popular one or ones if there's a lot of interest in both of the waterdeep stories or if the campaigns line up well level wise and I can tie them in.
About the World You know the old saying that love is blind? Well, I'm not sure about love, but I do know that truly Death is blind. He doesn't care how good or bad you are. He will drag you to the afterlife by his bare hands if he has to. All that matters is that it is your time to leave your Earthly life and make way for the next soul to reap.
After a while, death itself became a corporation and the reapers were the ones ensuring humans moved on to the afterlife. Lead by Death himself, reapers were assigned a human and would keep to that human until their final days. Then that reaper would move on to the next human they were assigned. This was meant to monitor humans, to keep them from death before their decided time and to help the soul accept and move on when they finally died. Sometimes special reapers were called in for particularly nasty humans and sometimes a human so bad would get the honor of meeting Death.
Then there were those that were special, those that have met their own reaper before their time. Normally, these occurrences lead to nothing and the human would just forget. But rarely, the human did not. And once they saw a reaper they couldn't unsee them. Then there were those given even more power through their reaper. Power to see the dead before they've moved on. Power to see the aura of a living creature. Power to know when someone will die. Seeing a reaper and surviving can grant many different benefits.
Prompts
Humans that have lost their reapers end up trapped on Earth, wandering as ghosts and ghouls. Two friends brought together from their powers decide to start a paranormal investigation team. They want to help those humans stuck on Earth. The problem is there seems to be a lot of souls without reapers and a lot of them are pretty new. Can these two find the courage to continue forward and find an end to whatever may be causing this?
An unforeseen event occurs when a human is born able to see their reaper. This human is special in more ways than one. The reaper assigned decides to not report this to Death and continues watch over the child. When Death finds out, he isn't too happy and the human is assigned a new reaper more experienced with these special humans. This human in particular needs to be watched closely for special reasons. Things get much more complicated when the newly assigned reaper falls for the human.
Kids with these special powers are invited to come live with those that have also obtained these special powers. From the outside this school seems to be in place to help students with their trauma of having that near death experience. It's a school for kids that need that bit of extra help. On the inside, the school is actually for those that can see grim reapers or have other powers beyond that. This is a place for these kids to have people like them and to be able to talk and hone their skills and maybe not feel so crazy.
About Me
I like to have a plan for my rps so be prepared to plot things out. I hate running head first into a story.
I'm working full time so I may get busy from time to time. I should still be available to post at least once a week, but I will probably post more than just once a week.
I'm 24 for those that care about the age of the person that rp with.
I don't mind OOC talk, and would actually love to encourage it! Even if we're just talking about our characters in the rp and planning for what to do next, either way I'd like to keep some kind of communication up.
I'd like to know your favorite animal, so that I know you've read this section
I am female but will rp both male and female characters (I'd prefer to play the female in FxM relationships though, as I have had to rp the male counterparts to female characters way too often in the past)
I enjoy romance in my rps! I'll do MxM, FxF or FxM romances, and of course any other sort of gender pairings as well. So if you want to play a non-binary character, for example, and want them part of the romance, that works for me.
If you would like to chat on Discord instead of on here, please PM me and ask and I will give you my Discord username!
Olivia got sucked into one of her contracts as she absentmindedly picked apart her muffin. She recently started offering something less tangible and more magical. Those people desperate enough to pawn their valuables tend to be interested in doing anything that may help the situation. And she was willing to help for a trade. The trade involved things like their most prized possession which was never really an object.
The contract she was looking at at the moment was a rather simple one. The man was in a tight spot, having lost his job. He desired to make ends meet and keep his wife and children fed. Olivia offered to help with that. She gave him good luck and prosperity for his most prized possession. Sadly, the man thought she'd want his high school football trophy that he proudly displayed on his mantle. That was not the case. Olivia wanted his teeth. See, the guy had perfect teeth and wonderful smile. He was even quite charming, but that smile was what got that man his wife, his job and plenty of other things. That was his prized possession.
She wondered if one set would be enough or if she should take the wife's teeth too. She was sure to get a nice price for them from a tooth fairy. Or she could put them to use some other way.
Olivia was taken out of her thoughts when she heard that voice again. Joss. She thought she had gotten rid of them the last time they talked. It seemed like they were not taking a hint from Olivia being cold or distant. And even with no reply from her, they sat down at her table.
She was just going to ignore them, when they started to mess with her things. Olivia placed a firm hand on her papers that were being messed with. Her eyes barely glanced at Joss before going back to the paper in her hand. "Please, don't do that. I'm busy and you're going to mess up my organization."
Olivia walked slowly around her shop, examining every item on the shelves and every piece of furniture. She ran her hand along the bindings of old books and inspected old television screens for dust. She knew she would hardly find any, she cleaned the shop every night after closing, but it was important for her to check again.
Once the shop had been properly inspected, she went to the backroom and took note of inventory. She did her best to keep most stuff out front, but some had to go in storage until she made room or found the right space for it. She spent some time making plans for her stuff and making sure items that were pawned were still in good condition for the owners to get retrieve them if she got her money.
Finally, she grab her papers and planner and leave the house for the cafe across the street. The nice old couple that owned it were very sweet and didn't mind her taking up a table for a while in the morning. She ordered herself a small coffee and a blueberry muffin and sat her usual seat by the window.
The coffee and muffin were immediately pushed off to the side and she quickly pulled her long silver hair out of her face. She paused for a moment when she felt the point to her ears, she contemplated keeping her hair down to hide them. Then her hair would get in the way of her work. That wouldn't do. She figured the people around her wouldn't notice anyway, her ears weren't extremely pointed.
She finally opened her planner after getting her hair out of her face and jotted down her usual to do list. She made note of those late on payments and those that were due today. She made note of follow ups and those whose debts would not be collected easily.
Then came her other paperwork. She thumbed through her contracts. The real side of her business. She gave a smile thinking of all of those that owed her and had no idea what was coming to them. She'd make sure to collect soon, since it seemed like almost time to return home anyway.
The day was...dull. Olivia hated dull days. They always went by so slowly. No matter how many things she got done and how productive she was, the clock always felt like it was ticking by at a snail's pace. And no matter what she did to keep busy, the clock would not change how fast it was going.
Then there was there was the fact that the reason Olivia was even a pawn shop owner in New York City was for the interesting bits of life that managed to find it's way to her shop. Like the couples that would barge in before closing in a rush to buy whatever piece of jewelry she had to offer so they could elope. Or the teenagers that wandered in thinking the shop would be a good place to practice their stealing. She even enjoyed the angry strangers that would come along with stories of how a family member pawned something of theirs.
Today, the customers were normal. No new stories to share and definitely nothing interesting about them make the day good or bad.
At the moment, Olivia was taking advantage of the dull and quiet day to organize her inventory. She was rather particular about the way she presented her shop. She wanted her customers to feel comfortable, while also keeping her shop spotless and items placed exactly right. Olivia somehow managed to keep the shop from looking like an indoor garage sale, which she thought was a pretty impressive feat, though she had her doubts others saw it that way.
Olivia looked at the clock. An hour before closing. She gave an audible sigh and placed another old book on the shelf. At least the day was almost done.
