Chasing Adventure (PbtA System): Wild Slutty High Fantasy Adventure! Closed!

[Nastara]

I was reading a game the other day and my need for forum based tabletop games abruptly reignited with an idea!

Super Briefly: High fantasy, swashbuckling adventuresses hunt monsters and delve dungeons to gather relics and alchemically important 'essence' as gig work.

System Bits!

Chasing Adventure is a fantasy adventure game that has a similar sort of kitchen-sink-fantasy vibe of Dungeons & Dragons using the Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) rules engine. PbtA games are highly narrative, with just enough crunch in 'Moves' (important actions!) to keep things surprising, fun, and always 'Playing To Find Out What Happens.' Chasing Adventure is based on Dungeon World, but uses tech from more modern games in a way that I think will be REALLY good!

There's no need for players to read the game ahead of time, but there IS a free version on Google Drive here if you're interested.

I'll also be able to help with system stuff in general and there will probably be some custom moves to facilitate our play!

Dive Into Darkness!

The concept I'm flirting with is one where cities exist as "points of light" in a vast world filled with all sorts of magic and fantasy monsters. In the face of shadow and monsters, powerful mages have created these centers of power as great towering beacon cities. People can live relatively normal lives adjusted to be in these cities, but the mages who protect them are aloof nobility with alchemically granted unnatural power and longevity.

Players are adventurers who are contracted by nobility to gather wealth, treasure, and most importantly Essence from the outside world. We're all looking for a fun, sexy time, so needless to say, Essence is alchemically created from monster cum in mysterious rituals by shadowy mages. That means players need to be quick-witted, daring, skillful, and willing to jack off monsters for fun and profit.

Playbooks in Chasing Adventure will be very familiar to Dungeon World players and familiar to D&D players; Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Immolator, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, and Wizard!

Recruiting Now!
I'll probably be adding more information to this post to give a little more context, but I'm opening up recruitment. Recruitment is not going to be like a one or two day thing, I'll leave it available and answer questions, and will announce an end-recruitment date soon. I won't close recruitment suddenly, so don't stress about getting something in now.

In the past, I've overextended on recruitment and expanded to more players or a second team. This time I'm really going to try to start small, a single party of four players is the limit on it. If this is a concept that feels fun to people, I have some concepts that could expand down the line, but at launch I want to just have a small adventuring party that has a simple quest. Like almost think of it as a pick-up game one shot. Let's dive in, try out a game, and have some fun.

Taken (and mildly edited) from an old thread

What I'm looking for in terms of finding characters (because people always ask!) is:
-Dynamic, interesting characters with description physically and/or personality that catches my eye!
-Female heroes who are quick to dive into adventure to help their weird community!
-Goodness-of-Fit with kinks/character roles/combat roles!

In terms of my own kinks and prefs, I will be looking for adult characters and skipping 'small' creatures (like gnomes/halflings/goblins). In general, I would prefer art claims over face claims to help keep everything fantastical!



also im a sucker for big tits but i wont let that influence me

Ooh! This seems like some shenanigans can be afoot. I’m definitely interested. I’ll see what the system has to offer and throw something together 

[Nastara]

Definitely no pressure to throw anything together yet! I'm honestly like, getting a temperature on things!

I'll go ahead and modify an old recruitment thing into the first post if people want to get ahead of things, but like TRULY no pressure for anyone to do ANYTHING of development! 

[Ershin]

Ah! It's good to see you again Nastara - I'll have to wait 'til later this evening to look through the book but this method of gathering essence seems fun and wanted to plant a flag of interest in joining up ❤

Good to see you too, Ershin! :)

Legit, zero pressure on book looking! The classes are the same, most of the moves are similar, it's just a little less crunchy, a little more narrative. It's more sophisticated than this, but simplistically if Dungeon World and Masks were combined into one game.

Flag planted! :) 

[c0i9z]

I am definitely always interested in your games and this is no exception!

[Nastara]

Awesome! Thank you, c0i9z! I'm glad that there is interest and I'm not like... barking up a bizarre tree nobody would want to play in! 

[shereena12345]

Interested of course.

[Nastara]

Lovely!  Thank you, shereena!

HMMMM... Okay. I'm thinking that this is showing like, quick interest.

I'm going to make it official, but with some flexibility on recruitment end date. I won't close it without let's say... 4 days.

[shereena12345]

I snagged the playbook PDF, yeah, everything looks quite straightforward.

If you like the concept of Serena from an earlier game, I will go ahead and move her over to this.  I haven't gotten to play her yet, and she would fit in quite nicely, happily collecting the monsters' essence

[Laughing Hyena]

Aww.. no ice, lightning or portal magic for the wizard? I feel sadness as it means dear Diabelle might be benched. Hi Nastara.

I do like Serena! People definitely are free to reuse or start anew, whatever they prefer!

Hey Laughing Hyena! 

Oh!! That's the other thing with Chasing Adventures! There's fewer playbooks and things! BUT definitely ice, lightning, or portal magic would be easy to port into it! 

If a character isn't exactly supported, it's easy enough to move a couple things around and make things work! 

[shereena12345]

I do see Laughing Hyena is interested in playing a Wizard as well.  I am open to a different class if needed.  Just let me know.

[Ershin]

Kinda looking into a support-orientated class. Bard seems fun, but I also like that the Cleric can potentially just start with a staff, weed, whiskey, a handful of coins and potentially the clothes on their back >.>

[Nastara]

Honestly, I'm not even sure that it will matter too much in terms of like class balance! If there's two casters or whatever, we will work things out! I know there's also a couple of other 3rd party things people have made, and a DW to CA conversion wouldn't probably even be too hard!

I always want story and people having a good time before mechanics!

If you believe in yourself, anyone can start with a stick, weed, whiskey, and a handful of coins! 

[Sorvoe551]

Sora might make a return. Not expecting the sword magic she had in the last one, but a combat switch just needs a blade and determination to get what she wants.

Adventurer Info

Name: Serena
Concept: Elf Sorcerer who's mind has been altered by her patron.
Race/Class: Elf, Wizard
Why Are You A Hunter?: She is furthering the desires of her patron.
Interested In: Monster Sex (as long as they aren't furry) - they don't have to be near human, go wild and get inventive if you want.  I do prefer monsters to be male.  Vaginal intercourse, oral, breastplay, creampies, mind control, dub con/non con/con (we have mind control at play here, so have fun!), impregnation, tentacles, demons, undead, insects, oviposition.  I am fine with human/human sex as well, no problems there.  Mix and match based on what you like or don't like - for instance, I know undead are not everyone's cup of tea.
Brief Description: See image   Serena is a diminutive and harmless looking elf.  However, her otherworldly patron does channel his power through her.  Having poor luck learning the ways of arcane magic, Serena was finding herself down on her luck...running out of money, getting nowhere in her studies, and desperate.  That is when she encountered the strange being that offered to change her fortunes.  Foolishly Serena accepted.  While she quickly found herself able to use the magical powers it promised her, she was no longer herself.  Flighty, curious, all smiles, energetic, bubbly, and quite carefree; Serena now found herself quite eager to get out and see what was out there in the world.  Not that she really cared too much about it anymore, but her new state of mind helped to ensure she acted towards her patron's goals, whatever they may be.
Familiarity With system: I know all the basics of PBTA.
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: Multiple times a day if needed.  I am good with whatever the pace is.

Adventurer Info

Name: Kieri
Concept: Cursed exhibitionism fighter
Race/Class: Human Fighter
Why Are You A Hunter?: To help people, to find a way to get rid of my curse.
Interested In: Fun, sexy PbtA shenanigans, exhibitionism, maybe corruption/transformation
Brief Description: Long, beautiful brown hair, clear, unblemished skin and generous proportions. She's stronger than she looks and usually wears a suit of surprisingly and embarrassingly revealing armor. She found this cursed armor and her weapon one day, in front of her door. It prevents her from wearing any other armor or clothes.

Familiarity With system: None with this one, but quite a bit with Dungeon World, which is similar.
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: Daily.

[c0i9z]

I hesitated quite a bit between this and a goblin barbarian. (https://e621.net/posts/2087164 )

[Nastara]

Sora might make a return. Not expecting the sword magic she had in the last one, but a combat switch just needs a blade and determination to get what she wants.

Very true! Definitely I want people to not feel constrained by the game, we can figure out making whatever works! 


Serena and Kieri looking lovely! Thank you! :) 

[Sorvoe551]

Name: Sora Mitsurugi

Concept: Samurai girl who wants to prove her honor and worth.

Race/Class: Human Fighter

Why Are You A Hunter?: Need to become a noble warrior to return home.

Interested In: Power struggle, BDSM, mind control, corruption, F/F, F/M, dub/noncon, Monsterfuckery, general shenanigans. Monsters can be wide and varied and whether she's domming or subbing depends on whether or not she wins a fight.

Brief Description: Loyal, bit naive, stubborn, deeply in denial over her desires, pansexual, insecure, desperate for approval. Sora was kicked out of her village for being too rambunctious, so she seeks to earn glory and renown to prove that she should be allowed amongst her people. Whether her experiences with hunting monsters will reinforce this goal or allow her to blossom into a different role is up to fate.

Familiarity With system: Very familiar with PbtA, may attempt shenanigans with GM approval.
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: Usually daily, no less than once every two days.

[shereena12345]

Seeing lots of familiar characters. 

[Ershin]

Oh, Bards get a neat advanced move to allow their performance to work on animals and monsters. Seems like they'd be almost tailored for the job of essence retrieval. Though I wonder if it's by choice...

I'm thinking either loremaster (to know more about monsters) or travelling artist (to double down on being more charismatic with more opportunities to heal allies).

Adventurer Info

Name: Royse Cyneburg
Concept: Scion of a fallen noble house, bred to carry out the less desirable aspects of the Hunt
Race/Class: Human / Bard
Why Are You A Hunter?: Not by choice. She was trained for the job just as every female member of her family was since the Hunts began
Interested In:   Dub/Non-con, male, futa, female, larger partners, size-play, gang-bang, humans, monsters, beasts, pet play, transformation, more light and comical shenanigans when appropriate, cuddling
Brief Description:   Red of hair, spectacled of face and freckled of skin.
Royse comes from a long lineage of nobles blamed for the fragmented state of the world with civilisation reduced to points of light. Whether true or not the Hunt has been their duty for generations and like her forebears Royse belongs to the Hunters as a tool to extract the raw form of essence from monsters, research their peculiarities, to heal the wounds of her allies and to warm their beds as necessary.
Since she's never known a life outside of this however she doesn't feel any ill of her role in life and is somewhat cheery and bubbly with little consideration taken to personal space
Familiarity With system: Familiar with Dungeon World, need to read up on Chasing Adventure more
How Often Do You Elliquiy?: Trying for Daily at the moment

Also wondering if anyone would be interested in holding the character's leash (figuratively or physically) or if her owner/handler should be an NPC in the background

Purely speculating off of the characters here so far, but I think Sora would basically view her as a kindred spirit and a potential sparring partner. 

Then again, depending on the scenario, if you knock Sora down, she’ll be licking your boot before she hits the ground. So maybe it can be a scenario where Royse gets to experience some control and learn she’s more than what she was raised to be? Parallels Sora in a way.

And not to speak for Serena since I’m not their player, but maybe their patron wants a minion so they have her take the leash? Purely spitballing, not demanding anything. It’s a group effort, after all.

I think Serena will be too scatterbrained and carefree to hold her leash for very long.
