Come and join the order opposing darkness

I'm looking for four players for a SWADE fantasy game.

I aim for a comfortable pace, 2 or 3 posts a week.

The creature you're going after is way above your abilities in direct combat, you'll have to do your research, inquiries, preparations and find allies. There are several solutions to defeat the enemy, none are easy. Only a smart team can succeed, or even survive this quest.

If you'd like to join, please tell me the following things:

- main concept, with a short phrase
- what race (dwarf, elf, half-elf, half-orc, human, rakashan, saurian), and why do you chose it?
- why have they joined the Wardens of Light?
- how do they feel about this request?
- top three skills you want for them
- if they are going to be a caster, what arcane background (magic, miracles, sorcery, ritual magic, alchemy)?
- short description of personality and interaction style with other mortals
- lines and veils for yourself, if any

I'm going to invite players based on this thread, please do not apply on the game page.

I'm kind of looking for an introduction to tabletop. I just cannot seem to get a grasp on DND later versions. I am 35 and no stranger to RPG's from Final Fantasy to Persona 3 to Skyrim. Is this system pretty intense?

What do you mean 'intense' for an RPG ruleset?

It's a really good concept. But 3 posts pr week is a bit to slow to my taste. I perfere 5 posts pe week.

I wish you a good game

Hi! I am interested in the game:

Why do I want to play: I have SWADE core rulebook and nobody to play with.

Main concept: wild child, whose village was destroyed by swamp monsters. Adopted by monster hunter.
What race: human. I mostly play human - they fit almost any setting. (Although I have a couple of goblin and gnome characters).
Why have they joined WoL?: his adopted father was in WoL and so his way was clear.
How do they feel about the request - he doesn't like this noble scums. If anybody sended troops to defend his village and clear the swamp in time, nobody would be killed. He also understands that he shouldn't predjude this one. But he still feels this way.
Top 3 skills - athletics, stealth, shooting.
Caster background - probably in future I would be interested in folk ritual magic.
Description of personality and interaction style - Lone wolf. Cynical and honest.
Lines and veils: veils - full-scale war, sex. Lines - no

@runekyndig
Thanks for the encouragement.

@davemus
As long as he's not antisocial, the character sounds good.

savaged.us, a free online character creator, so you can join without having any books. Make a character here, I'll explain the rules.

I did a Savage World game a couple years ago but other than that have limited exposure. That said, I am interested am will look into the rules more as the last time we played had no magic or other races. I will give more details after but the basics are:
Growing up in a remote/isolated elven community and was learning to be a druid. The village was destroyed and his master slain during a conflict by neighboring nations. Joining the other survivors he took what knowledge he had and used it to care for the other survivors while tracking the armies that caused the ruin. Most eventually were able to join other communities character was still too upset at the loss of home, family, and teacher. He turned to the WoL after some time as he had learned the war was caused by one of the nations being controlled/manipulated by dark forces. Going for a mix of druid and ranger with caster as ritual or alchemical.

Looking forward to it.

Ok - just realized both the backgrounds I wanted to try out are not in the standard book or character generator. So revising to work with what I have.
- Concept, race, reason : as above
- how do they feel about this request? Curious why the fey are becoming a problem now.
- caster : Miracle (Nature/spirit) Shape change, Summon Ally, Heal
- top three skills: Faith, occult, healing
- personality and behaviors : Honorable, Curious, Loyal, Mild. Normally very calm and often taken as aloof due to his withdrawn nature he is keen to learn and explore but others are often surprised at his drive to eradicate the darkness.

:(
?

Bump. Any other takers?

Hi, I've GMd SWADE for quite a while, would be interested in trying this setting.

Thinking of a rakashan diplomat with high Persuade, Taunt, Intimidate. He was sent to negotiate to save his clan's chief's life with the Wardens, but it backfired : the Wardens accepted to spare the chief in exchange for the diplomat 's services (possibly with a time limit to be defined . Ten years?) He is begrudgingly loyal to the Wardens during this term.

It would be an envoy-type character, focused on social interactions. Maybe in fights he would focus on diversion tactics, supporting allies, and dexterity-dodging maneuvers.

A mediator and negotiator by nature, he would try to defuse hostility, seeing violence as a last resort.

I think I could have fun expanding on his clan's customs and proverbs, and indulging in friendly banter with the more fight-oriented in the party.

Welcome, Dr_B.

Thank you, I will take a look at the Companion to flesh out this character concept.

Do you think this Gamersplane custom SWADE character sheet can work, for your game? Is it missing any required stats? It has easy auto dice rollers on all Traits that make it very easy to use in-game.

I don't know if it's missing anything, but it definitely is really practical, we can use that. Also, those templates are user-made, which is very nice of this community.

OK, some other questions please:

-do we start at Novice?
-any Setting Rules in play? (SWADE core p136)

-the Rashakan race hindrance as written is Bloodthirsty (Major), which clashes with the diplomat concept: is it OK to swap it for Obligation (Major), to symbolise his forced allegiance to the Wardens? (or with another Major hindrance)

(also, Languages in the setting? should we go with Common?)

✻ Characters start at Novice, although we can agree on a few advancements, but still under Seasoned.
✻ I'll check the setting rules. I remember I really liked some of them.
✻ I don't like the hard-wired personality traits as racial musts. Change it to whatever fits your character's personality best.
✻ Yes, something like Common, but I'll find some other name for it, it feels chewed up and boring.

If you still need a player, I'll volunteer. I've been a Savage Worlds GM for several years, but seldom get to play.

I'd be interested if I could choose races from the Fantasy Companion, but I understand if you want to keep it to the Core Rules.

For the common language, might I suggest Tradespeak?

Come on in, WhtKnt. And Fantasy Companion is listed as a source in in the Character Generation Info section of the Game Details page.

With that, recruitment is closed for now.
