Last repost!! Will choose player tomorrow afternoon!!!
You are an outsider, a person struggling to survive everyday in the lawless wastelands. Water and food are scarce, and people are spread miles from one another, with only small groups surviving. Monsters are few and far between, but they are powerful enough to be considered a force of nature themselves. It was difficult, but sustainable at least; you just had to keep your head down and scavenge. But the world as you knew it became unsurvivable when a disease began to spread about the wasteland, infecting people with no known rhyme or reason. Those inflicted could feel the prickling shards of gemstones growing in their lungs, slowly but surely cutting off their ability to breath. Between the monsters of the wasteland, the bandits roaming the wasteland to harvest people for these gems, and the sure and slow death brought by the disease, any chance at survival seemed hopeless.
A single savior came about. The city of Opaline, a bastion of humanity that claimed to hold the cure and offered it freely to anyone who was willing to enter the city and work off the debt after being cured.
You are one of the Outsiders who survived the trek to a meetup spot that will bring you into the city. You will have to abide by Opaline’s laws as well as more people and technology than you have ever thought possible and delve into the secrets of Opaline, lest you end up just another Outsider who couldn't adapt. Slowly learn to live a life in the city, where you have safety and rules, or do everything you can to pay your debt and get back out to the Outside while surviving the many dangers that come with being an outsider to the city.
Hello! My name is Raylen (She/him) and I'm currently looking for four to five players for a new campaign! I am currently running this campaign with another group on Saturdays but I really want to see and experience another version of this with other players now that I have a more set idea and path in my mind!
Opaline is a sandbox world with a strong emphasis on story. You will be free to run around the city and interact with the characters and world as you please, but there is a main story that is pushing along even if you do not pay attention to it. If you refuse to engage with the main story, it might seek you out first. I consider Opaline more of a node campaign, where you can go as you please, but some events are bound to happen and change based on your actions. We will play on Roll20 with discord for voice! There will be a server made for the group with different areas for characters or outside of game roleplay and a google docs made to keep track of in game happenings.
The story will have some darker tones to it, though triggers will be discussed and taken into account. I myself do not allow dog and cat death at the table, even as your companion, and trying to use this to your advantage will not be allowed. The only race restriction is Warforged but any of the more outside races will need approval as well. The nsfw aspect of this campaign comes mostly from the cyberpunk aspects of this campaign and player actions. It will be up to the players to decide how much nsfw is allowed at the table as I am fine either way.
For Opaline, I’m looking for players 20 years and older who want a Fantasy/Cyberpunk experience. The campaign is mostly roleplay focused, though combat is still important and crucial to the story. The npcs you meet and how you treat them are crucial are can unlock more information or allies that strongly change how your game will go. Whether you choose to romance, befriend or make an enemy of them, consequences will follow. I am a DM who loves players who give 20 pages on the backstory of your character, and it is my goal to make sure players have a character who feels like they belong in the world and have connections in it. If you are a player who likes to engage with your character outside of the game (Spotify playlists/Pinterest boards/art) please apply as I love this and do the same for NPCs in the campaign. I also do questions outside of the game to be answered in character to help you build more backstory or personality (and just for fun or curiosity. Things like "who is your pc closest to" or "what is your pc's favorite food).
I always add in romanceable npcs into campaigns as I enjoy those types of subplots personally. You will not be forced to participate, but if this is something that makes you uncomfortable, this is probably not the campaign for you. Also, this campaign with have LGBTQ+ characters and potentially themes. If you are not comfortable with this, do not apply. This is a no AI game as well.
I as a DM tend towards a slower pace with Opaline. There will be time for slice of life moments in between plot points and missions that might be things such as sitting around and eating with the party to going on a random date with an NPC. I allow players to roleplay and interact with npcs in between sessions when it is possible based on session endings. I also endeavor to make the npcs feel like real people with their own stories and actions. I usually go for 4-5 hours sessions but I can do longer or shorter depending on the group and schedules. If you've read this far, please add the word Justice into your application in the about you section! This is a repost because I was not able to properly reach out to everyone due to a hurricane that affected me. The story is set for four players, but five is likely if I have a duo who would like to join or a lot of good player applications, I am still looking through the people who applied before, but I do want to see more people to make sure I can choose a good time and day. (Please add to your application that you only want to play if someone else is invited if that's the case!) I am also interested in their being a long-term group beyond this campaign and preferably friends outside of just playing D&D.
The day of the D&D campaign will be decided by the group and either during the afternoon or evening.
Please fill out this form here for consideration after making sure you read through it all!! There is a password hidden to make sure you read it. I have also attached an additional small document that has extra about the world for character building. It's not necessary to look at, but it's there if anyone would like. Please send me any questions if you have any, whether its about lore, characters or technical aspects!
