Worldbuilding thread currently a work in progress here:

Greetings,

My normal seeking thread is one where I'm looking for an author who wants to play their game.  But instead of bumping that thread, see here if interested, I decided to create a new one.  The fact of the matter is I'm looking to play a specific type of game with slightly darker aesthetics and tone, and for a change I'm looking to be the main character instead of the game master or co-player.

I will be working on developing a worldbuilding thread here ; https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=364481.0


The short pitch;

I'm looking for a GM who can play against my character who is stuck in a world inspired by the exiled lands of the conan exiles video game, but blended with aspects of traditional fantasy / D&D / and a touch of Ravenloft.  I'm looking for someone who will be willing to indulge my harem fantasy and allow my character to collect multiple women into his sexual coterie.

Longer pitch;

I see the exiled lands as a pocket demiplane, similar to Barovia and the lands of Ravenloft.  Very difficult to get into, and once there, neigh impossible to escape.  But the normal rules don't apply in the exiled lands.  There are exiles, immortals sent there as punishment, with bracers bound to their wrists and their very souls that 'respawn' them instantly if they die.  It's a perfect punishment, torture a person to the edge of death, pin them to a crucifix, slap the immortality bracelet on them, then drop them in the desert of the exiled lands.  They will die of exposure and thirst over and over for eternity.  What greater punishment then eternal torment on a crucifix?

But sometimes the exiled ones, the immortals, they are freed, they make it out of the desert and into the rest of the continent sized realm of the exiled lands.  Now they fear no death and can make their immortality into something of their own choosing, or maybe even find a way to escape the exiled lands and return to seek vengeance on whoever exiled them here.

Unique features of the exiled lands;

LONG lore dump inside this spoiler tag
There are only a very few immortals like my character, people who were banished  here with the immortality braclet bound to their wrist and their soul.  Most people punished thusly are never found in the burning desert and go mad from an eternity of dying only to be reborn on the crucifix and die again.

Most of the people of the realm are normal mortals, though even they have a form of immortality.  When a normal person dies in the exiled lands, their souls are traped here, and they wander the lands looking for their chance to be reborn.

When a man inseminates a fertile woman in the exiled lands, pregnancy does not occur.  Instead the power of their fertilization draws in a nearby soul from the spirit world, and that fertilized egg is then taken to safe location where over the course of the week it grows into a full fledged adult with the soul and the memories of the spirit that attached to it.  Allowing someone who died in the exiled lands to be reborn into a fresh young body.  Of course how long they were a spirit for, how long their soul wandered looking for a fertile egg to claim and use to grow a new body is also a factor.  The soul's memories fade over time as they wander as a spirit.  If they take too long they won't be able to remember anything past their most recent incarnation.  As such there is almost no one alive in the exiled lands that remembers a time before the exiled lands was what it is now.  None remember a time when a man and woman would create new life.

This process is known by the inhabitants of the exiled lands as 'the birthing' and comes with such extreme orgasmic bliss that it is something that most people seek out actively.   See an old game thread for this process being described in game

The other thing that is inherent to the world is that of 'thralldom' 

A person can bind their soul in thrallhood to another.  Once they do, they become utterly and completely loyal till one of their death.  The other person's word is law and they are glad to carry it out.  Thrallhood can be compelled, but never forced upon a person.  A person may torture another to the edge of death for weeks, but the poor captive never has to take the oath of thrallhood.  For everyone knows that if they don't wish to live their life out as a thrall, death is never the end in the exiled lands.  Even if they are tortured to death, they will be reborn, and can always seek out their vengeance on someone who tried to force them into thrallhood.


The essence of the game should be my character building up his power, his slave thralls serving him sexually as well as combatants, craftsmen, priests, or sorcerers.  I envision this to be a bit of a 'kingmaker' scenario as he builds up his power over time to rule over more and more of the exiled lands.  Maybe his goal at first is to escape but that might change over time.  Keep in mind that he can not die, so his 'death' does not free his thralls, though if they die, they will be reborn as free people again.

I'd like to really explore the grittier aspects of the hyborean world, and would like to lean into the tones of dubious consent, slavery, and the mind control aspect that comes with swearing oneself as a thrall, how an enemy can become a dedicated and willing fuck slave to MC once she swears thrallhood.

Ultimately I'd love it if the GM in question has at least a passing knowledge of the video game Conan Exiles.  As we're going to use a lot of that as a jumping off point.  Also if you feel most confident having a main character that is perhaps the one that first rescues MC from the desert, and becomes his first thrall, his right hand woman, etc.  That's something we can discuss.

Anyways, I know this is a big ask, but I'm going to put it out there and see if anyone is interested.

Please feel free to direct message me with any comments, questions, or concerns.  I look forward to hearing from you if you made it this far.
