Hello Gamers,
I'd like to start a game with the Norse mythology feeling.
I'm looking for 3 players who can post 3 or 4 times a week.
As I see it, the game will be more social interaction and investigation than combat, but action is part and parcel of the Viking style, so that's going to happen regularly, too.
The setting is Viking-time Denmark, including sea travel, spiced up with the Lost Lands' 5e additions, which you don't need to buy, I'll tell you the details of what you choose. Supernatural abilities are rare in general. Player characters are not going to be restricted, but they should use magic with caution in front of NPCs if they don't want to be persecuted for dark magics. On the other hand, all characters will get some powerful abilities after the first chapter, in addition to class features.
There is a main plot, but you will be able to also pursue the PCs' personal goals. In fact, I'll try to hook the PCs via personal interests.
Starting level: 5
Ability scores: 27 points to buy
Race: Human, Giant-blooded, Troll-blooded, Nûklander Elf
Class: barbarian WotC + bearsarker + ulfhander, bard WotC + ancients, druid / WotC + ancestors, fighter WotC + captain, paladin WotC + spear maiden, sorcerer divine soul, storm sorcery, + cunning woman, wizard + rune caller.
Gear: standard + 1000 Gp, consumable magic items only.
If you're interested, tell me about your character's story, personality and what they want from life for the moment, and what they desire in the long term. Also, race + class + subclass.
I won't need sheets to choose players and characters, that can come later.
