The World:

Persepia:
Spoiler:
Persepia is a world with one large pangea-like continent with several islands floating about. It is expansive and much of its wilderness is unknown to modern civilization. Various kingdoms and city states dot the continent, some in new places, some upon old capitals of fallen empires. Races find themselves relegated to their corner of the realm, but newer cities are more cosmopolitan.


Religion:
Spoiler:
Gods exist but don’t do a lot of specific intervention. They prefer to provide their power to worshipers through devotion. There is a pantheon of 8 called the Patrons.

Shigane - goddess of death
Emil - goddess of knowledge
Leilee - goddess of life
Beld Vol - god of light
Chyronium - god of nature
Zek - god of tempest
The Strange One - god of trickery
Kor Hana - goddess of war


The current date:
Spoiler:
The current year is 212 L.P., or 212 years into what is known as the Light Period, after the end of a time of turmoil known as the Dark Period.


Tel Nadev:
Spoiler:
Tel Nadev is a city located in the middle of the Western Desert on the Caliphan Oasis and the Tel Nadev River. It is a somewhat populous city founded by merchants and is of mixed race. Every race under the sun can be seen here and each has their own district in the city, whether it be a couple of tents on the outskirts of town or sprawling several city blocks.

In the center of Tel Nadev is the human district of Albongan which is by far the most welcoming and cosmopolitan of districts. Whereas the half-orc district might have humans look a little out of place in a half-orc tavern, here there are businesses and houses of all kinds of people integrated.

Tel Nadev is a city-state ruled by the Emerald Queen, a mysterious figure who hides their true identity. Every once in a while she will make her will known to the people in a costume, and impersonators are immediately put to death, somehow the guard knows who is real and who is not.

The players start in Tel Nadev. Since it is a merchant city and traveling hub, players may be from here or could be from distant lands where their race particularly occupies, like the elven lands of Kir Harbir. Or could be from any cosmopolitan city like Brimshire to the north, Wraskal to the west, Ermwater to the south, and Lake Havinyon to the east, to name a few. Or they could be from pastoral lands near one of these city-states. Or whatever else they want to come up with.

The players are mercenary, looking for work.

Hello,

Wondering if there is any interest in playing Pathfinder or D and D 5e. New players are welcome!

Please reply if you are interested with

1. Preference for Pathfinder/5e (or don't care)
2. Type of character you'd like to play (can be a broad as "I'd like to do magicks" or as specific as "i want to be a draconic bloodline sorcerer")

Planning on doing play by post here in mish mash, i would request that you be active and able to post whenever it's your turn. Will try to figure out things to speed things up (like having me roll initiative instead of waiting for everyone to roll initiative, for instance).

I had actually been thinking of running an introductory 5e one-shot adventure here soon for new players. But I might put that off until later in the year/next year if this picks up interest.

I would be interested in playing with a preference towards 5e but would be willing to learn Pathfinder.

Ive heard so much about D&D and it sounds so interesting but the game is so overwhelmingly complex that i feel i'd feel lost all the time.
I'd sign up for a game for newbies where newbies are coached.
1) The only difference between town and scum is TMI.
2) If scum can do it, so can town, except TMI.

newbies are welcome and we'll be starting at level 1 so it's a good way to get into the game without getting overwhelmed by choices. i can help you create a character and am willing to help coach though just be aware I'm a novice DM so i may not always be the best teacher.

Sweet. I'm still working on the world a little bit but we could probably start by making characters and we can fill in things like where exactly they are from and any gods they worship as it gets fleshed out.

If you need help creating a character we can work it out in thread or over discord. If you don't need any help feel free to start making a character and if you have any questions about what's allowed in creation let me know (preferably no homebrew content).

Still taking /ins as well, I'm fine running up to 6 in the party.
