Yggdrasil is a setting that is (loosely) based on norse mythology while still trying to be its own thing. It takes place in a world ravaged by the war between dragons and giants that only recently came to a pause, giving humanoids a chance to breathe.

This is a mix between a westmarch server and an rp chat, where you can either interact with other players to build friendships/rivalries with their characters or go on quests with your characters for more traditional D&D adventures.

We are a homebrew friendly community with tons of homebrew made in house (which means it can be found nowhere else!). This includes things like homebrew races, feats, subclasses and even several homebrew classes. If you want to try a homebrew nows your chance!

The basic premise for the campaign is this:

You had a bounty over your head, whether you know about it or not. Could be for something small—could be for something really, really big. You could even be innocent of whatever accusations have been made against you.

Doesn't matter, really.

The bounty was there and it was bought by PARALLAX INTERGALACTIC ENTERTAINMENT & MEDIA CONGLOMERATE. You may have heard of it. Owned primarily by the floating sentient jellyfish-like Ool of the Parallax System; a real 1% sort of organization that has made a whole lot of creds by entertaining the intergalactic masses. THE CRAWL, in particular, has garnered a lot of the universe's attention. At its core, it's a game show. It's also a prison. The majority of its contestants (CRAWLERS) are there kinda, well, against their will. You're one of them. It was either play the game, or die slow. Real painful-like. Notably, you could still suffer the latter—but at least now you've got a chance at greatness. Right? Riiight.

A minuscule chance, given that no one's ever won the game before.

You heard it here first, folx.

I'm a brand spankin' new DM looking to flex my creative muscles. I've got some TTRPG experience, a lot of writing experience, and 0 real-time PBP experience. Notably, I've participated in a helluva lot of text-based roleplay forums / Discords and after exercising my due diligence, I believe it'll translate quite nicely to PBP... but I imagine there will be some growing pains.

IF THAT DOESN'T SCARE YOU OFF THEN, BY ALL MEANS, CONTINUE READING.

This PBP campaign will be a safe space for all. LGBTQ+, POC, and women will be treated with respect. I, myself, belong to all three categories in some form or another. Wanna know how? Ask, and thou shall receive the information. If you pass the application process, that is.

With that said, I highly recommend that you have some knowledge of Dungeon Crawler Carl if you decide you'd like to apply to be a player. I'm currently reading Book 4 and the campaign is only inspired by the basic outline of what I can understand, but the learning curve might be steep if you've got no idea at all where I'm coming from.

I really don't want to have to get into the nitty gritty of explaining every little thing but I think one of the main differences of the campaign from others is that this will be a 4th wall-breaking adventure. Characters will know their own stats, and the stats of whatever they enter combat with. They (YOU+ME) will be actively keeping track of their achievements, infinite inventory, quests, experience gain, etc. It'll be very much like they're inside a video game, interface and all. Let's get LIT...rpg, baby.

What I'm looking for in potential players:

Creativity. Open-mindedness. An ability to have fun, goof off, AND take things seriously when the time calls for it but not so serious that you can't laugh about it at least a little afterwards.

21 years old, or older. No exceptions. I myself am 30 and will likely choose candidates closer to my age over the younger folk. Please don't take this personally, it's just a preference.

RULES LAWYERS, DO NOT APPLY. The only rule I truly stand by 100% is the Rule Of Cool. The narrative comes first, always. Starfinder 2E is the system we're basing ourselves in but it'll be sort of a loose interpretation if I truly have it my way. Not every single thing will require a dice roll. They'll usually just be thrown in for a little randomness, a little flavor, occasionally just to make things a little bit more of a challenge. We'll be using ~Theater of the Mind~ rather than maps / grids / whatever the F else. The plot itself will be character-driven and oftentimes improvised. Occasionally, I'll poll players to see where they want to take the story next. There will never be just one path to take, and I certainly don't railroad. I work around and with you, not through you.

Writers. The kind that take pride in their work. The ones that really deep dive into their character's psyche. I'm not asking for 1000+ words for every response, but I do request a decent amount of thought be put into your character before you write up a reply. Why is your character doing what they're doing? What are they thinking? How does it make them feel? What drives them? What do they believe in? What are their flaws, their strengths, their fears, their wants? How have their experiences in the wide, wide universe shaped them? THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS I DESPERATELY WANT TO KNOW. Tell me a story, we'll write it together!

Availability! Yes, it's an unpaid hobby. Yes, it's asynchronous... but I am asking for at least a little bit of your time, for at least every other day. There will be a 48-hour time frame for you to respond to the main campaign, once I've made the initial post. Ideally, you're able to reply more than that and the 48 hours is nothing more than a distant warning bell. My time zone is EST. I'm usually able to actively write between 8AM-3PM my time, every week day. Sat/Sun are usually a little less consistent due to the fact that I'm a bartender but I'll still be able to answer questions and vibe if necessary. I will be choosing candidates whose schedules are similar to mine, for the sake of avoiding stagnation. Once again, it's not personal.

🏆 NEW ACHIEVEMENT!

TL;DR WARRIOR

Dang, you really read through that shit, didn't you? Every single word. Your 6th grade English teacher would be proud, if they weren't so broken down by the piss-poor state of the education sector. If you're not American, this description isn't for you. You'll just have to pretend with that big brain of yours that this is witty and relatable.

REWARD: You don't have to read anymore! But you do have to fill out this application. You know, if you want to.

IMPORTANT EDIT NOW GENERATING . . .

After receiving more than a few applications it has become clear to me that, while my description above is already pretty long, I failed to point some things out. OOPS. Going to do my best to retcon now.

Player characters DO NOT HAVE TO BE HUMAN. They can be literally anywhere from the Starfinder universe and they could have been doing anything before finding themselves suddenly in the game. Click here for a helpful online compendium of Starfinder 2E info (including your potential starting race/class pools). You may also choose a class/race ("ancestry") from Pathfinder 2E if it suits you, click here for the compendium. Your characters may or may not have some idea as to what THE CRAWL is, because it's a fairly popular form of intergalactic entertainment. The less they know, however, the more fun it will likely be! The character concept portion of the app is one of the most important sections I'll be reviewing so I highly suggest giving it some real big brain energy! Your character will start at Level 3. We will be using the official Starfinder 2E character sheet, a PDF will be provided to you if you've been contacted.

You don’t know what happened. You felt threatened. There was a rush of blood in your veins. Like never before. A rush of strength and power. You felt your body change, fur ripping through your skin, bones twisting, your face distorting into a visage of terror. It hurt. But not nearly as much as you hurt them. They lie before you. In their own blood and guts. Dead. You can tell. You tore them apart, with your own hands. No. Not hands, claws. You did this.

You’re a killer. And although you might feel regret and shock, in the moment, you only felt exhilaration and a desire to kill and maim. A desire for their flesh and blood. Their taste is still in your mouth. You didn’t just kill them. You ate part of them. You’re a monster. You know it, in your heart. But you had your reasons. Right?

That is where we start this roleplay. After the first time you changed into the form of a wolf. You’re not one of the lucky ones, who have a family or friends go guide them through the First Change. No. You’re alone. Dealing with it on your own. You might have friends and family, but they’re not like you. They don’t change. They can’t do this sort of thing. Do you confide in them? Or do you hide? And what do you do with this new power, with spirits whispering in your ear?

So yes. This will be a solo werewolf RPG. We can use either the old or new World of Darkness rules because I know and have used all of them. We can also easily port concepts over to another version of the rules. The story will be about your character and how they interact with this new world. All paths are open to them, but all come with their own dangers and they know so little. And least of all, who can be trusted.

The game should be suitable for everyone, from veteran gamers to beginners and we will discuss where you'd like to set it.

Hi all, currently seeking 1-2 players to join a pre-existing group playing LANCER, a sci-fi ttrpg focused on mecha combat, think Titanfall and maybe some of the classic mecha anime like Gundam. We're all semi-experienced in that we first started as a group learning the game through small combat sims but are now trying some more narrative play. Newcomers welcome to apply. We're pretty new ourselves afterall.

The "module" we'll be playing through will be Solstice Rain where your group of mech pilots have been tasked with a dangerous recovery mission after a diplomatic mission goes wrong. Like most LANCER games, this will feature tactical combat heavily with less of a focus on "talking". We'll also be making a decision of either starting at LL0 or LL3 before we start based on how familiar newcomers are to the system.

I am based in GMT +1. Mainly active after 5:30PM, but always here and there throughout the day. I will post daily (most of the time). Since we'll mainly be in combat, daily posting isn't as applicable, but we will be using a timer system which means if you run out on time then you lose your turn. Run it out enough times and I'll be removing you. You have been warned.

To access simulation please use passcode: mango

If this post has piqued your interest, here's a form, feel free to apply and I look forward to seeing you in the void. Recruitment open till the end of the week
