Watch out.

The gap in the door... it's a separate reality.
The only me is me.
Are you sure the only you is you?


DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL NOW, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED

@Zyshi Theron is accepted! Feel free to move her back to the Characters tab. Welcome!
Wow guys. My PM inbox has never been busier and it’s great to see so many character applications up so rapidly. I’ll start working through and discussing all the characters submitted with Hillan this weekend, but until then here are a few discussion points and questions to pose to the players:

Which of the regions do you each find most interesting and enthralling, and which mysteries are you eager to unravel first?

Does anyone have any early theories about the source of the Blight?

When we begin the game, would you rather your characters were drawn to Vasilius and then sent out to begin their quest as a group? Or would you prefer a more individualistic approach, where each character pursued their own goals separately or in smaller partnerships?
@Zyshi please remove your application from the characters tab and submit it to the OOC for deliberation by the GMs. The Characters tab is for accepted sheets only. Thank you!
@Roman, could you give me a break down of the magick system? I'm thinking of making a practitioner this go round.


It would be easier if you gave me an idea of what you’re trying to achieve and we can see how well it would fit. But basically, cantrips and sleight of hand yes, potions/elixirs no, enchantments kind of yes, big grand spellweaving yes but highly discouraged and will probably cost more than you and the surrounding 50 square miles can afford.
@Roman if you need help with the Gming. I volunteer as tribute, I mean obviously if someone better than me Volunteers they are more important.


<Snipped quote by Sep>

Do I count as someone better than Sep volunteering? Because I could help too.


Thank you both for the interest. I’ve currently instated @Hillan as my GM Partner as we’ve worked together in the past and I know he can get done what I need from him. However if I need further consultation or the game ends up bigger than expected I will bear you both in mind if I end up looking for further help.
Ah, I remember this. Are you taking newcomers from the previous iteration?


Hello! Yes, everyone is welcome to apply.
I had hoped to get this up yesterday but unfortunately I took a long day at work so instead got it up today.



Bear in mind I am still trying to find a suitable GM Partner. I appreciate the interest in the position I have had thusfar but I'm still weighing my options and would prefer someone I know I can trust.

P R E M I S E:

Vassidia is a plagued land.

The people are not unfamiliar with sickness; under the Garland lineage, the kingdom has already suffered and survived the Wailing Death, the Red Plague, the Ursine Pox. The cities know how to quarantine, how to detect, how to treat and experiment with cures. Vassidia is not unfamiliar with sickness; but this is not a mere sickness.

The citizens see it every day; cracked statues, eery in their accuracy of form, mottled ruby chunks bursting from cracks that run across their entire surface. They depict agony, despair, rage and resignation. In the first weeks, before word spread and knowledge grew, the rubies were stolen, chiselled, even thought to be lucky. Now, with wisdom of terrible truth, they are avoided, demolished, known to be cursed. The statues are no depiction; they are the last living moments of those victim to the Stone Blight, captured forever in petrified rock.

Across the continent, beggars and barons alike are developing blisters and boils that burst into encrusted maroon gemstones, fat and dewy rubies that begin to spread lethargy and dullness as quickly as they do a cracked, hard black skin rash that grows to encase the victim as the metamorphosis continues internally. Nearly every resource the kingdom possesses is now dedicated towards a cure for the accursed blight that has seized the kingdom.

The High Lord Jocun is running out of hope, and his subjects moreso. From his seat, he has called for adventurers, mercenaries, academics, peasants, nobility - anyone willing to travel the continent in search of answers. Many have departed; few have completed their journey. Fewer still have returned.

Vassidia is a plagued land. How will you fare against the blight?

R U L E S O F T H E R E A L M:


Rules on Character Creation:​
• Character applications should be made by posting complete sheets in the OOC for review by the GM(s). Incomplete or ‘WIP’ progress should not be posted and will be ignored.

• Applications will not be approved until the GM(s) has/have had proper time to look over the sheet and discuss any issues in the sheets with the applicants. Please keep an open mind while tweaking your character with the GM(s), and please don’t nag.

• Players are permitted only one primary character. This character can die and be replaced, but good reason must be given to the GM(s) for the action to be considered.


Rules on the Out of Character Thread:​
• Respect the Game Master. The GM’s word is final, and if a law is laid then do not argue or disregard it. Failure to adhere will result in ejection from the game and a polite request not to return.

• Respect your fellow players. Debate and constructive criticism is fine; flaming and outright nastiness is not. If you feel there are glaring issues with another player that must be addressed, contact the GM privately. Failure to adhere will result in ejection from the game and a polite request not to return.

• If a quarrel arises between players, either ask the GM to adjudicate, or take it to a private format. Do not use the OOC Thread to quibble among yourselves.

• Feel free to chat, but try not to let talk unrelated to the game run rampant.


Rules on the In Character Thread:​
• Do not take control of another player’s character without express permission from both the player involved and the GM as to the extent of the actions. Doing so will be counted as God-Modding or Meta-Gaming, and will be considered a serious offence. Killing another character without permission will result in removal of the post, immediate ejection from the game, and a polite request not to return.

• No OOC posting in the IC Thread. That’s what the OOC Thread is for. Obviously.
