What is this?
My secret GP Santa gave me a Vaesen adventure, that I will run with the Dragonbane rules. I have a nostalgic love for the system, but most of the Dragonbane adventures published are dungeon crawlers and I don't like those. This is my opportunity to get some more experience with the system.
Setting:
(AI-generated map)
Homebrew world, based on the Dragonbane setting.
To the south are the temperate civilised area, where humans, dwarfs and halflings live in civilised coexistence. Elves are rare but they do find a place among men.To the north and west are the wild colder areas. More savage and tribal than down south. This is also where you find animals in men's form. Wolfkin, Catfolk and Malards along with the other known rases. There are elfs in the north, but there are clear differences between those in the north and those in the south. Magic is real and wild. There are those to spend years taming it to serve the needs of men. But there are areas, especially to the north where there is no wizards or mages to calm the wild forces, and there magic does what it pleases.
Gods could be real or just the imagination of those who need an easy explanation as to why things are as they are. There could be beings that are immensely more powerful than dragons or demons, but they don't answer prayers.
Who are your character
You are investigators from the Nordström Institute. A prestigious institute founded by the mage Folksvang Gerna, but has grown beyond simple magical research. It is a stabilising factor and when the common people find something strange/odd/mysterious then they ask the institute for help. It is located in the northern part of the civilised lands.
We use the standard character creation rules with the following exceptions:
1: Max 1 elf in the group. They are rare after all.
2: No Mallard, wolfkin or other animal hybrids. You are from the civilised lands.
3: As an institute investigator, your gear is good-quality. When making gear rolls for food, silver etc all are maxed. ie D6 silver = 6 silver
4: The Heroic Ability under each profession are guidelines, but not mandatory. Each profession gets 1, except the mage
5: A "game session" will end at the end of our calendar month where skills can be increased during a downtime scene.
6: All optional rules apply
7: Initiative is a bit funky in Dragonbane. Unless someone in the group has some initiative ability we will be using group initiative for PBP ease
Adult Content, Controversial Themes or Marginalized Groups
I would imagine that the only group that could feel uncomfortable in this game would be furries, as there is a strong racial prejudice against the animal hybrid people.
How to Apply
Post below if you are interested in playing. I will wait a few days and try to make a group of 4 to 5 players that I am confident will stay around for at least 3-4 months.
Other
I will provide a custom character sheet that works with the dice rules in the game
Expect a posting rate of 4-5 posts per week
