Nightmares of Aysta A Crystalpunk Campaign
Prismatic Falls. A wonderful name for such a dreadful place. Not at first glance mind you, but the more you spend eking out an existence within its walls, the more you believe this to be true. Between the jawtakers, manastorms and news of this weird green mist, you hardly have time to notice how hungry and broke you are. Still under such pressures diamonds can emerge. The Evergreen Tree in the Handmaiden is one such anomaly. You marvel at it while taking a moment to yourself while eating a quick snack on break from your Evertech security job. The moment is cut short by a flash on your meeting stone. Quote:
Break time over puddlestompers! Got a job on the rim. Pays the daily rate, 50 gems and if you don't like it ill find another poor sob to fill in for you! If you want to get paid you'll be here in ten. Quillion Out.
the brash battleborn ends the call in his usual militaristic manner. Well break times over, and gems don't grow on trees. Not even the Evergreen.OOC:
Welcome to my Recruitment. Below is a link to the website for Crystalpunk that has some free items that might be helpful.
Character Creation 27 point buy. Any official 5E sources accepted as well as Crystalpunk and SandyPetersen's Cthulu Mythos. Other sources may be considered on case by case basis. Starting equipment : Issued a bag of holding by Evertech and a uniform with a meetingstone , otherwise use Gold/Equipment from PHB. You can substitute weapons/armor for a modern equivalent from Crystalpunk book. Alignment-Any, but crimes will be punished...severely. Will use max Hitpoints the entire time. New Skill Streetwise (Wisdom) will be available as a choice for anyone in place of another skill. Used for knowledge of local gangs, reputations, general street knowledge ect.
Evertech is a low level security firm owned by the Autognome Otto Bezeltrix and is ran by Quillion a Battleborn veteran of some past conflict he never speaks of. Evertech operates in accordance to the laws of the Evergreen Council and is officially associated with them, but your time working there has shown that they loosely follow the tenents of the Handmaiden. Mechanically Evertech is a Group Patron as found in Tash's Cauldron of Everything. You start the campaign employed by Evertech as part of a low level security detail.
Themes The game is magictech/cyberpunk with some Cthulu horror mixed in. Obstacles will have many ways of being solved/by-passed.
Character Advancement will be milestone. One level a mission typically. Sounds fast, but due to nature of PBP probably won't seem like it.
Expected Posting Minimum of 3 posts a week. This is my first time posting on this site and taking the first one slow I think is best.
Start Date June 16th the weekend of Father's Day.
You arrive at the station on the corner of Maple and Spruce. Quillion is handing out assignments and looks you and your companions

Get in the company vehicle. You are picking up some Mana Techs and taking them to the Spirit Towers on the Rim where the Manastorm hit last night. It knocked out coms and they need to do some routine maintenance. Just babysit them until its done. OOC:
I look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks for your interest.
