Welcome to Morea! A world where Steampunk goes up against High Fantasy!
I'm an experienced GM (39M) looking for some more players to join my homebrew campaign. Currently we have 4 players and I have room for 2 more.
The players are primarily looking for a "face" or leader type character that can handle social situations.
Premade characters are available in DNDBeyond upon joining the campaign or some special character sheets for those that want to play the custom classes.
We play in-person in Amsterdam-Zuidoost (Humtum) in a doggy daycare / hotel so there are random dogs around!
About the campaign setting ‘In a nutshell’: Set in a post-apocalyptic world and where the surviving nations are choosing different path to recover. The Gods themselves have disappeared and are presumed dead or destroyed. Divine magic draws on the primal forces that used to power the Gods. War is brewing between the nations that develop with science and those who belief in restoring magic to it’s former glory.
Currently the players are in the Frontier of Olmerrrec, a jungle setting with some wasteland areas filled with ancient ruins. A small port town Brightwater serves as a home base. There are many opportunities for exploration and roleplay.
The party has traveled down to an island nation inhabited by tribes of Orcs, goblins, kobolds and various monster races. They are attempting to recruit them on behalf of the council of Brightwater for protection against the Empire. However they've found out that they're currently at war with insectoid creatures and are tasked to end this conflict before the tribes can move away.
Now they have started a rebellion against the Empire of Mori and fight with the rebels to secure Brightwater and it's surrounding lands as an independent nation where all are safe from prosecution. Having captured several Imperial flying machines and destroyed armored vehicles they are ready to invade a flying fortress zeppelin to rid themselves of the Imperial presence once and for all.
The tone is balanced and not too dark or too serious.
The table is beginner friendly and of course, also LGBTQ+ friendly. I make sure my table is a safe place for all!
One very important note: we play at a doggy hotel at Amsterdam Zuidoost hosted by one of the players so there can be bunch of random dogs around.
