WEEKLY CONTENT BROUGHT TO YOU

Adventurers Wanted

I have nothing to do until around the end of August.
I'm going to run a game.
There are no players yet, so let me know if you want to play.

Campaign design:

-don't really have to care about NPCs or the world at large, with 1 caveat explained later

-literally "im a badguy, and i rekt you at some point so come at me if u dare, ♥♥♥♥♥"

-there will be no regular scheduled game day
-players will post the desire to play a certain quest, others will +1 (yes i want 2 play that quest too)
-all players showing interest will come up with a time and day (preferrably at least 1 day in advance so i have time to prep)
-i'd still need to confirm that im available at the time/day btw
-support for drop-in drop-out play between sessions
* unless specifically multisession, games ending midsession are truncated

-players make 2 characters.
One low lvl 2 (or to be decided by the group)
One lvl 18.
** They must be the same character.
-The only requirement
The main theme is about friendship.
You must at some point develop an investment about friendship with the other characters
-What that also means
can literally give zero ♥♥♥♥♥ about NPCs / world if you really want to.
I literally dont care about your backstory, it may come up but i wont be focusing on forcing the relevence. You can even tie it in with the other characters if you want. Think of it as an opportunists' exercise.

A conman (the bbeg) has suddenly come into your community/life, and you ended up being the victim of their scheme.
You've incurred a huge debt to the tune of 1million gp.
AND it wasn't even your fault (or maybe it was, you choose).
Now, you owe the money to the community you were a part of / some relevant person.
To get-rich-quick, gather information about/track-down the conman, and gain experience (lvl up ♥♥♥♥♥) to deal with him, you've decided to become an adventurer.

You've just registered as some rando at a magic-tavern adventure-hub known as "The Dreaming Portal"
The party is formed for the sole reason of "yeah that same guy conned me to m8, lets team up and earn some cash"

The Dreaming Portal has the unique property of existing in many different locations at the same time. Walk into the place from City 1, and you might exit into City 2 or dungeon 953 or the 5th layer of hell.
People from every where and every realm come to post quests.
The owner oversees the quest-taking process and adventurers are handed return-tokens which can be used at any time to return to the tavern. (the exception being you must be "outside" for it to work).
Tokens cost money, so you still lose if you dont complete the quest and return empty-handed.


By the nature of the game I wouldn't be wrong in saying the game has already started, its just no one exists to start playing quests.
Theres literally no downside to making a character imo, if you only end up being able to play once or twice then there u go, you got to play a couple times and have fun, nothing to lose.

* by truncated, I mean every session literally starts at the same location regardless of what happened last time. Characters will incurr a monetary penalty for the truncation, so theres incentive to finish what you started.

** You dont ACTUALLY have to make one right now. The only thing that matters is they're the same "person". Don't worry about stats matching in the future and ♥♥♥♥, stats are irrelevant. We really wont be using them, its for a setup in the long-term future. So dont spend a long time on it. The takeaway is to acknowledge that a form of the character exists at that lvl, and the only important fact: They were once enemies, but now friends.


(rewards are all per person, so no need to divvy up)
Monetary reward does not directly translate to difficulty, but its a good gauge.

4. Courier Needed - My sick g'ma needs her prune juice and the usual courier is missing. Go to doctor past RockMaw valley and return with medicine. 500gp.
5. Anti-Bandits wanted - Bandits are stealing our ♥♥♥♥ and lowering tourism. Make them disappear. 400gp.

Bonus Limited Time Only! - My neighbor is inviting undead corpses into his home to party all night e'rry night. Make it stop! 700gp.
