Adventures in Otriea (D&D 5e, Interest check/Recruiting)

[mjrbatou]

I've been working at putting this game up for a while now and think I've got enough to get it started.

The world is Otriea and has 3 major populated continents on it, Epesh, Veulura, and Amilen.

Epesh is the largest of the continents and has come under siege by a seemingly endless number of demons and devils.
- Dominant race is Human.
- Goblins, Hobgoblins, Lizardfolk, and Yuan-ti purebloods are available as player races in addition to the other player handbook races.
- Tieflings and Dragonborn are not available as pc races.
- The starting town is New Sorpigal currently plagued by goblins, bandits, and various creatures.

Veulura is an island south of Epesh dominated by both a human/elf war and a celestial/demon conflict.
- Dominant races are Human and Elf.
- Tabaxi, Triton, Aasimar, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Orc, Lizardfolk, and Yuan-ti purebloods are available PC races.
- Dragonborn are unavailable as a PC race.
- The starting town is located within the Contested Lands, right in the middle of the human/elf conflict.  The threats are primarily humanoids scavenging and looting what they can during the turmoil.

Amilen is the smallest continent dominated by surface drow, but nearly every race is present to some degree.  The primary threat here is an elemental cataclysm that is slowly progressing and could destroy the continent or even the planet.
- Dominant races are Human, Drow, Lizardfolk, Minotaur, and Troll.
- All races available including subraces of trolls, minotaurs, dhampirs...
- The starting city is in Blood Drop, populated by Lizardfolk and besieged by pirates.


Character Creation
- The starting level is intended for 1st with 16, 15, 13, 12, 11, 10 as the starting scores.
- I prefer 'official' races and classes --- the 3pp/5e compatible ones can easily have hidden op tendencies (or blatant in some cases).
- Starting gear for class and backstories.  If custom backstories are used then that character will start with 10g in their pouch.
Optional, but preferred
- Humanoids wear rank collars provided to them when they come of age, they are common magic items that requires attunement to function but do not take up an attunement or neck slot on the character.
  * The colors follow the rainbow with red being the lowest and violet being the highest.  Npcs rarely interact with anyone more than 2 colors difference from their own, some refuse to interact more than 1 color from their own.
- The world is kinkier than normal with clothing and armor favoring more skin exposed among humanoids.  Minor enchantments on armor provide the normal defensive bonuses at no additional cost.
- Characters roll on a curse chart to determine any quirks they may have.  The least number of curses/quirks on a character is 1 randomly rolled or picked (excluding multi curses, lucky, blessed, perfect body, and no curse) from the list.  The most can range from 7-14 depending on what the picks and random rolls are.

Shared Curse Chart, random

May I roll on the Futa Curse Table and then decide if I want to play or not?  I know that’s a weird request…

[mjrbatou]

The current list may not be the final one, I'm still thinking of others that can fit or work with the theme.

Also, the random roll is on the shared list first with the second gender roll a possible option - so if there's a specific one you want that would have to be a picked one that only excludes a few.

The minimum number of curses/quirks would be 1, rolled or picked.
The maximum starts with 1 random and 1 picked at level 1, then alternating random roll and selected at every ability score increase level.

[AndyZ]

Ah, right.  I’ve just had games where I rolled, couldn’t come up with anything fun and interesting as a result, and then had folks upset when I didn’t want to join.  So I got stuck in a game for a while that was just a chore.

But yeah, I’m going to be a little out of it off and on over the next few months (RL stuff) but if I decide to make (it does sound fun) I’ll try to pay closer attention.

Hmm, seems like it's wide open then.

[Laughing Hyena]

Oh this looks fun. Interest flag planted!

[Hexed]

Lots of options on starting areas. Undecided on which plot point to run?

An interesting selection of curses. And goblins are an option. :)

[c0i9z]

I do love getting my goblin in on some fun.

[Opale]

Interest flag planted too!

[Laughing Hyena]

Not sure what this could entail but I am definitely going to keep my options open. Was thinking either mage for power perversion, or maybe goblin or hobgoblin skirmisher for males. Ladies could vary from the mage setup or a tiefling cleric. Might be fun. Any concepts from other hopefuls?

[Arcanist]

Yup, definitely interested

[mjrbatou]

By levels 7 and 13 every character will need to participate in promotional quests so they can learn mid and high level class abilities - if the class quest has not been completed by these levels the character will continue to advance, but only gain hit die and proficiency bonuses until their class quest is completed.

Spells will require visiting specialized shops and purchasing tomes of learning.  These tomes are highly complex and are considered a physical representation of the spell's essence in all it's possible forms.  When a wizard, sorcerer, cleric, bard, etc reads one of these tomes they are absorbing part of that spell's essence and personalizing it, like 1 wizard could have a magic missile spell manifest in the form of cylinders while another uses flying daggers - same effect but different visuals.
  *As an extra note, scrolls cannot be used to learn spells.  They are too limited in this form for a caster to fully grasp what the spell is and can accomplish

All classes have to visit trainers to fully gain their next levels with those that focus less on magic spending more time and coin on these training sessions (to keep classes better balanced).

Player Input :
A)  Are there any curses/quirks that I have not already included in some way that anyone would like to see added to 1 or more lists?
B)  Should the maximum curses/quirks be character based or party based (like everyone in Epesh has the maximum but everyone in Amilen only has 1 curse)?

[Hexed]

Thinking shortstack sorcerer or druid gobbo myself. Leaning more sorcerer than druid at the moment.


Huh. Neat take on learning. Good selection of curses so off my head can't think of more.

[AndyZ]

Sounds like you’d rather people didn’t roll unless they can guarantee staying in, which I can’t in my current RL situation even if I love my roll, so I’ll just hold off.  Sorry to be a bother.

[Arcanist]

Would love playing a bard of some sort or rogue. An information gatherer or maybe an assassin.
Female curse table - Healing milk? Cures status effect or hit points. Could work for semen too?

[mjrbatou]

The curses/quirks are supposed to either penalize the character in some way or cause potentially embarrasing or sexy situations.

Now if the girl was a cleric or someone with healing abilities and chose to have her milk get a honey like taste, texture, and stickiness then she could apply her healing effects to the honey she produces as an action while casting.  This would apply to any alternate edible, not just the honey example.

[Laughing Hyena]

So how would heat work on a male character? I assume they are always potent with their essence and will normally impregnate a gal.

PS - I feel like there are enough quirks/curses to make characters with. Seems like you covered enough bases with this.

I would keep the curses to individuals and have it be limited to two at maximum except by choice.

I'm good with the list of curses and don't really have a strong opinion on the maximum limit or whatever.

I do have a question for the leveling/training system. It's a cool idea from a lore perspective, but is it just supposed to be flavor for us leveling up offscreen/between quests, or are we meant to actually play out these shopping/training trips. Because in a forum game that's gonna translate into weeks if not months of real time posting just to level up.

[Opale]

On the contrary I think you should limit the nuber of rolls made on curses table, because it can lead to hardly playable characters lol

But I love the lists.

Personally I would see it as the chance to do a one shot short story or montage just to keep it flowing quickly. It could be discussed in private message or in OOC what occurs (maybe with a few dice rolls if needed) then we write it up in IC for readers enjoyment.

[pdragon]

That sounds a bit more plausible.

Either way I was thinking of a goblin myself, either a

female celestial warlock

or a

futa barbarian

[Arcanist]

Currently have a female half elven bard on paper. Backstory of a possible spy in training,mLooking at potential curses. Half tempted to get mjrbatou to chose or looking at stretchy or pheromones. A bound familiar could just be as interesting, “her handler/boss”.

[Laughing Hyena]

I like the celestial goblin warlock but that's my personal bias showing. After two rolls I'm thinking maybe it's best to just pick one since heat on a male is making my head scratch. The other one being cum multiple time without stimulation at random just doesn't feel fun to me. Out of the two I'd pick heat since it would be interesing to make that work as a guy character.

The training system is a dowtime based addition, every level up a character qualifies for they have to pay a trainer to get all the abilities that come with the increased level.  This included the empty levels where some classes get nothing other than a hit die.

Casters shopping for spells should only be 3 posts - the player saying they're shopping for new spells, I provide a list of whats available and the costs, then the player spending the gold on any they want.

Males with heat are similar to females, they only get aroused for a few days each month but for those 3 days the urge is nearly irresistible.  The rest of the time is spent ignoring things like pheromones and any race fetishes the other 27 days, but also not being able to perform for those 27 days.

I can make rolls for each potential character, secret or messaged, and each player can decide if they want to pick/roll once for themselves and if they want my result as their second option.  Additional curses may pop up here and there but they'll be removable as if they were under the Bestow Curse spell effect and generally weaker than the starting ones.

[c0i9z]

Hmm. If goblin is taken, maybe an orc or a tabaxi.
