[ Character Sheets ]
[ Premise/Foreword ]
This campaign is influenced by Lovecraftian Horror, it is a dark story and has a more modernised setting. Magic and such is still very much within the realms of the campaign, it's set in a dystopian land that is very much like our own. This campaign takes a lot of influence from our history, such as incidents being based after World Wars.
XXX World War I – After the assassination of Lord Faust, the Empire of Redguard took this as their opportunity to expand their land. The world was thrown into fragile peace after the war with the Redguard Empire's land reduced as people were freed from communism.
XXX World War II – This is an event that is remembered by the people, as Lord Salvas ordered the ban of magic, all magical beings would be purged from the world in a “cleanse”. Armies revolted against his rules, the war ended when the base of the country Xia suffered massive collateral damage from mages.
[ Setting Information/Background ]
The land seems to be in a state of unease after uniting to reach peace, as fragile as it was. The Emperor Edward has gone totally reclusive after his daughter Amelie mysteriously vanished. The people are calling for assistance as monsters are making more appearances, more than the Hunting Force are able to deal with. Governor's are tense and preparing for war to become the next ruler of the land while The Capital are busy devoting all of their resources into finding Amelie. Emperor Edward hasn't left the castle in months, people are becoming paranoid and on edge, preparing for another war.
[ Game Introduction/Plot ]

SCN_ Grey_fox I am game, but how modern is the game going to be and how much is magic going to replace Airplanes, ship traveling, and all the other stuff that made the WW's even possible? Trying to pinpoint the period in history and how much has changed to build a character of that setting.
Ship travelling is very much a thing, and so are airplanes, however most airplanes are rather slow and aren't too efficient. Some fighter jets are available - but they are incredibly scarce and were only primarily used in the wars. Most people use balloon like air ships for commercial travel, although they are very expensive and only used among the wealthy. It's very much within the current tide pod eating generation, however due to magic technology has somewhat slowed down ("what is the point of making better airplanes when I can teleport?" mindset is very much apart of the culture). Very basic guns are available, but they're more older models that would've been seen around the wars because, "why make better guns when I can shoot fireballs?". Mobile phones, social media and the such are still a thing, allowing Investigation checks to be done online additionally to find out more information. |

PupSage So piecing together concept. Other sourced material: I would like to do the investigator variant of City Watchman from SCAG, but if not allowed, I am fine with acolyte. I think long term I would want to go for Inquisitive from Xanathar's, but am also fine going Arcane Trickster instead if that isn't allowed. Basically I am making noire universe Sherlock. Questions: Languages, should we go with fantasy languages or Earth languages
That's a gold hat, cool cat! I'm down with what you intend to use smile
Oh yes and Earth Languages |

SCN_ Grey_fox pumpkin mask Very basic guns are available, but they're more older models that would've been seen around the wars because, "why make better guns when I can shoot fireballs?". when you say basic and older model guns, you referring to Reniassance guns or the basic modern ones found in the DMG? And who would have proficiency with them? and cost? Edit: Druid or Ranger, depending upon the answers. I am not saying change anything, but you do realize that "why do this/that?" Is a very bad question. Humans alone have done/created stupid things for just because reasonings for eons. Now you are throwing Halflings, gnomes and dwarves into the picture... Why, becomes even worse of a question... "Here hold my beer" doesn't cut half of it now.
I think I'll need some time to think up of the why's and how's, and how the influence of other races affected them. Ranger's would have a proficiency in them, that's for sure, I'll need some time to think of what else would have proficiencies but I'll keep you updated. They're going to be more costly, though. |
