A few years after the events of the Chroma Conclave

Emon- The capital city of Tal Dorei is still being rebuilt, and in the middle of it all there is a political uproar. Can the council keep the fighting to a minimum long enough to rebuilt the city?

Whitestone- Flourishing under the direction of the De Rolo family, Whitestone now has its famous Clock Tower, and hosts a inventors convention every year. Welcome to the 6th annual Whitestone Inventor Con!

Vasselheim- For centuries Vasselheim has been devoid of magic, but now magic is terrorizing its citizens. But magic is the only thing that can stop the terror. Oh the conundrum! How will Vasselheim deal with this massive undertaking?

Westrunn- Finally being rebuilt, the Cobalt Reserve needs young scholarly recruit to survive this trying years.





Hey guys! So I have a D&D game I have been running in real life based in this setting, my idea was to start a group on here in that same setting. So this is just a general interest check.

But this adventure will be a build your own adventure style campaign, where we begin by crafting ideas for plot and characters.

Some house keeping things;

1. You do not have to play a canon character, this is very much a generic D&D 5e game.
2. You are allowed two characters, an OC and a canon character. Or two OC characters.
3. Communication is key, interested but think there is some things that could use improving? Let me know! I'm happy to work with my players.
4. I am looking for an assistant DM to help me with this epic adventure, so if you are interested shoot me a PM! We'll discuss.
5. This campaign will not be centered around smut, however it is welcome and encouraged!


Last but most important, have fun. Its a game, and I'm ready to play it if you all are!

I’d be interested!

Awesome! If I get at least two more interested people I'll write up the character sheet format and campaign guide and link the Tal Dorei wiki so we can get started building our adventure.

Keeping an eye on this.

Good good, just don't remove it and put the eye on the thread. That would be weird, and make it hard to see. ;)

Great! n_n I’ve caught a little from Critical Roll but could definitely use a primer for Tal dorei!

I actually have a full campaign guide for the setting. Which is extremely nifty and well written.

-Raises hand- intrigued! I'll have a look through the setting after work!

...And will try to not mooch someone else's concept  :-[

Fantastic! Here is the wiki to Tal Dorei for you all!

http://criticalrole.wikia.com/wiki/Tal%27Dorei_(kingdom)

Give it a read through, and I'll start writing up our campaign guide!

Still room in here?  I'm totally unfamiliar with Tal Dorei and Critical Role, and will most certainly want to play an original character, but I'm happy to learn the setting.

In writing, a flaw is not the interesting part of a character.  What is interesting is how a person overcomes a flaw.  I want to read how a person overcomes a flaw, not how the flaw overcomes the person.

Definitely a fan of Critical Role, and I know how the first Campaign ended, which makes me wonder if this is right after you know what was taken down or if that hasn't happened yet?  Either way, I would likely go with an OC, if for no other reason than I'd like a fresh perspective I suppose.  :D  I'll be keeping my eyes on this too most likely.

I will be doing an OC character as well.

'Cough' Percy/Vex child 'cough'.  :P  Well, likely one of several knowing what those two get up to just during the show lol.  Who's to say what happened after the show was over?  ;D

Seriously though, depending on how much time has passed between the Conclave and when this takes place, children of Vox Machina might be a thing.  Hopefully our DM will be able to give us a direct date to work from.

Yeeeah. I've never seen an episode of Critical Role (unless you count Pat Rothfuss' guest appearance on DCA with Kerrek?) and while I personally think Nott the Brave's character design is fuckin' awesome, I won't be trying to portray characters I've never seen  ;D OC's all the way.

Nott is brilliant!  I especially loved the reveal that she was the parent figure between her and Caleb! :)

Caleb and his PTSD and why he has it was a very awesome reveal as well, no question.  Nott though is pretty epic in 'her' own right.  ;D

Here's hoping there's still room?  I've seen quite a bit of the first campaign, or I suppose listened to would be the more accurate term.  I'm totally blind IRL, so only have the audio portion to go on.  Still a great show even without visuals.  I'm currently listening through episode 101, and haven't yet gotten to the second campaign, though I will shortly.  I'm interested to find out about someone with PTSD though.  I don't have experience with it, or know anyone, but the concept sounds unique.

Anyway, I'd most definitely be playing an original character for this.  Cannon characters of any genre are something I try to stay away from, as I'd rather come up with my own idea/personality, rather than try to mimic someone else's.  That, and I feel I wouldn't do the character justice, so I stay away from trying to portray them in the first place.
