The Wizard's Harem | Ghosts of the Saltmarsh (D&D 5E NOW SEEKING)

THE WIZARD'S HAREM

PRINCE ARGUS
Human Wizard I

"Hello, potential harem member!" Argus said, looking directly at you through that mystical device called a computer, "My name's Argus and I want to be an adventurer.  I will be adventuring in the Salt Marches for the foreseeable future, and I'd like for you to come along with me!"

"Now I know what you're thinking," Argus said, asking you to follow.  "'Argus, why be an adventurer?  You're rich!  You've got a harem.  Why risk your life doing something so stupid?'  And you're right.  It's stupid.  But you know what else is stupid?  Having a harem.  But it is so. much. fun!"

Argus is kneeling now, his face flanked by two perfect apple-bottomed butts.  He kisses them both as if he would kiss the forehead of a babe.

"No one said harems were easy," he said.  "In fact, a lot of the times, it's really hard.  And no, that's not a euphemism.  Where was I going with this?  Hmm."

"Oh, CHARACTER CREATION RULES!" Argus pulls out an abicus.  What?  An abicus isn't spelled A-B-I-C-U-S?  Since when?

Character Creation Rules:
--  1st level;
--  27-point buy, except Charisma is auto-18
--  Infinite gold (but not infinite magic)

Genre Rules:
--  The game is kind of silly; Argus will break the 4th wall;
--  The game is also kind of lewd; Argus is really horny;
--  The game needs PCs to make decisions;  Argus is kind of stupid about adventuring.
--  The game works best when Argus pushes the characters towards doing things they don't want to do (in an adventuring sense, not in a sexual sense).

The Salt Marches:
The game uses a set of modules.  I don't know very much about them.  They're a collection of old adventures that have been updated for modern use.

This is an interest check!  If there is enough interest, it will become a GM seeking players thread.

I want to run a silly, smutty Ghosts of the Saltmarsh campaign where PCs are part of a wizard's harem.

The wizard would be a GM PC, but he's pretty useless except for the fact that he is incredibly rich.

PCs would be women who know they're hot.  The game wouldn't involve slavery or dom/sub scenarios.  PCs shouldn't be obsessed with the wizard.  In a lot of ways, he's kind of the antagonist.

Interest?

[Muse]

  Sounds like fun.  :)

I have now been bitten by the bug of interest!

[AndyZ]

Let me ask something, Phantom.

I’m interested in playing through Ghosts of the Saltmarsh, but ever since the chemo kicked in, my libido has really plummeted.

Would it be possible to participate and either be part of the harem or otherwise involved (maybe a guard) without being expected to participate a lot in the sexy stuff?

Totally cool if no but I figured I’d ask.

I am not particularly descriptive in my smut posts.

"They fucked for a bit, then carried on" would be totally acceptable.

So, if you can't tolerate that, then maybe the answer is "no."

But... the thread might evolve into something not harem-esque.  Who knows?

That sounds great to me ^_^ I'm thinking about a Changeling Rogue if Changelings fit in the setting.

Muse, if I might give a suggestion: I notice you play lots of spellcasters and do heavy spellcasting.  Warlocks regain their spell slots on a short rest, so you may want to try one of those, maybe Hexblade.

Already have plans to talk to Levi.

[AribethAmkiir]

might be interested.  Don't know anything about the Ghosts of Saltmarsh.   

Are there any more details about the game you're willing to share, at this point?

I will tell you whatever you want to know!  :)

[AndyZ]

Any character creation rules we should know?  I would figure do everything normally, including a Background, and we all just happens to be Harem members.

So, your characters would be members of a harem, but the wizard is somewhat of a free-spirit who doesn't like your conventional harem-member, but can and does accept women from all walks of life.

If anything, character creation is not very different than ordinary character creation, except:

1.  It is a 27-point buy on 5 abilities; charisma is an auto-18;
2.  Your PC can buy whatever they want, as the wizard is a prince with infinite gold; and,
3.  This is limited, though, by the fact that magic is supposed to be rare.

This means that, the harem CAN purchase almost everything in a store, but that the store will be limited in what it can actually sell.  I will be using an online inventory generator for this.

[PhantomPistoleer]

All right, I've edited a few things in the first post.

[AndyZ]

Phantom, let me ask you something.  You've said outright that this game is silly and slutty.

I've had two ideas that have popped to mind.  One is playing a bunnygirl, using the Custom Lineage rules in Tasha's.

The other would fit a Fiend Warlock.  Ordinarily, such a character would be expected to do something like sell her soul or whatever, which is all in my Offs.  However, a silly game could have something like that she rocked a succubus' night so well that she was granted powers.

I'm not finalized for either of these ideas, but I wanted to ask about the option and if such things would be okay to do, well before I finalize anything.

It would be okay, but you don't have to build a whole ass character for me to okay it, you know?

[AndyZ]

I’m just going wildly back and forth on like five different concepts >.>

Sneak Peak

Sneak Peak

Ooh, a white-haired elf lady?  MmmmMmm!

[AndyZ]

One idea I’ve been playing with but probably won’t use:

https://pin.it/6lEGogh

[AndyZ]

When a lich was interested in acquiring a rare magical item in Argus' possession, it offered Vyx in return.  Technically, Vyx isn't undead - all her bits and piece still work - but her body usually stays the same temperature as the area around her, she gives ridiculously good blowjobs because she doesn't need to breathe, but she also just seems to go...still...for four hours a day instead of actually sleeping. 

The first thing she really remembers is being brought back to serve Argus and being given sexual instruction by his harem, but every once in a while, bits and pieces of memory pop back about the woman who existed centuries ago; only her bones remained before the lich did its magic.  When she was first made, her only real desire was to serve him, but she's slowly forming her own personality and nature as time goes on.



Definitely going with the Reborn race: http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/reborn  I read through that one and the whole idea formed, unless Phantom hates it.

[PhantomPistoleer]

It's not what I want.

The members of the harem choose to be there.  They go along with the wizard's crazy schemes because he's bonkers rich.

The idea of the harem being this thing people are brought into and taught how to sex is way too serious.

Meeting Argus isn't a momentous moment.  It's basically like, one day, you saw Argus buying everyone drinks at a tavern.  He came up to you and said, "hey, you want a warhorse?"  And you were like, "huh?"  And he was like,
"nevermind."

Like I said, the members of the harem know they are super hot.  They know that their beauty is getting them a very expensive lifestyle.

Ah, okay.  I guess I missed that the first time through.

I still may keep the basic concept of Vyx.  I love the idea unless quasi-undead is an off for anybody.

Then again, still burning through several different concepts bouncing around...

[AndyZ]

It also occurred to me maybe ten minutes after I posted that a harem can either be when one person owns a lot of females, or more the anime style of harem, and you almost certainly meant the latter...

I'll give this a take two before ditching the idea if it still doesn't work. ^_^



On the first night Vyx remembered, the best and kindest person she met was Argus.  He didn't care that she was naked and covered in grave dirt; that only made it the more fun to get a bath and cleaned up, and then fancy clothes.  It was a much better experience than she had from everyone else who met her, most of whom were screaming, fainting, or throwing holy water at her.

Thankfully, all that mostly stopped once she got adjusted to...well...life.  As it turns out, she appeared on the same day when a bunch of nearby heroes took out a lich, and there was a huge magical explosion.  Then again, maybe all that is just a coincidence.  She's not sure, and it doesn't really matter.

Even though she's gotten a little more adjusted to life, she still spends a lot of time with Argus, not only to learn about things but also because he's lots of fun.

You have some of my interest, let me work on an idea for a day or two and pop back in. Initial two ideas are an alchemist who signed up for the harem so she could get funding for her experiments and a hexblade duelist changeling who angered one too many a spouse and kinda needs the protection of a group.

[AndyZ]

I should probably check what various folks are making before I set up.  Warlock was one of the ones I was looking at, but if we're going to have a bunch of folks dip into it because of how much good stuff you get from two levels of it, it kinda makes the full character far less interesting.

I was also looking at Sorceress, except why do you get so few spells?  Far less than the Bard, and roughly as many as the Warlock.

[ShadowFox89]

I don't like simply dipping into a class, if I'm gonna play one it'll be a full 20 levels.

[AndyZ]

Cool ^_^ How do you mean Hexblade Duelist, then?
