You are running away from something, and have decided to leave your life behind to start over in the big city. They will look for you on the main trail, so you need to cut through The Absent Grove. They've always underestimated you and would never imagine that you would be bold enough to try it.
Hey there, I'm looking to start a small Cairn game. Posting frequency every other day or so. I’ve never run this system before (and never DMed in a pbp format), but newbies will be welcome so we can learn the ropes together.
From the Website: "Cairn is an adventure game about exploring a dark & mysterious Wood filled with strange folk, hidden treasure, and unspeakable monstrosities. Character generation is quick and random, classless, and relies on fictional advancement rather than through XP or level mechanics."
The Cairn SRD is available for free here and PDFs are available for download here.
I will change things a little bit, as I prefer if players came up with characters they feel like playing instead of randomizing it. The initial arc will take place in an enchanted forest, which your character has decided to cut through to get to a large city where you intend on starting your life over. There are many local legends around these woods, some more fantastical than others, but you figure it’s a necessary risk to ensure that you’re not pursued.
If you’re interested, send me a Private Message with the following info and we can chat a bit from there.
Character: A sentence or two about the character you’d like to play.
Background: A sentence or two about the life they've led until now.
Why Are You Leaving?: Who/what are they running away from? Why do they expect to be followed?
This can be fleshed out together if you’d like, and if you really feel like doing the randomization there's instructions in the links I posted above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or send a DM.
