The Pitch
In this game you will set forth from the town of Swampgate in search of two missing young adults. Weird footprints and local legend are all you have as guides, and for their sake it will hopefully be enough. We will be learning to play Hyperborea together, and so I have provided Pregens to get us right into the action! This module has Social, Wilderness, Dungeon, and Weird.
Trigger Warnings and Themes
This game will include triggers related to violence, kidnapping, sacrifice, character death, and slavery; many of these are to be condemned. The world in which you find yourself is full of ancient gods, warring forces, and active cultists; evil deeds can be found around every dark corner.
This game WILL NOT include the following triggers: sexual assault, violence against children (though it may against some young adults), suicide. This is an incomplete list, and will include other triggers as decided by the group.
To survive, you must work together! For this reason, your character must have a willingness to work together even with those who might be diametrically opposed.
Game Duration and Pacing
This game expects players to post once a day, five times a week. I do not expect the game to move on weekends, as I am usually busy myself. As for the duration, this is a single module that is designed to be quite fast; all this to say I would expect it to last several months, but it really depends on how quickly you get yourselves killed.
This game will use a private Discord server to encourage speed and ease of play. Hyperborea 3e has some rules that are benefited by a quicker communication, such as combat options; the server will help with this.
Who May Apply
This game is open to any who are interested in this chaotic experience. The table is intentionally inclusive, and will not tolerate any racism, sexism, or any other -ism. Safety is paramount. I reserve the right to prevent any from joining should I feel they are not a good fit, and to remove any players who show the same.
How to Apply
Simply reply here, or reach out on the GamersPlane Discord. If you are interested, please use a quote from your favorite Sword and Sorcery show/book/movie/game/musical in bold. If you have questions, I am more than happy to answer before you make a decision. I will utilize an arbitrary method of choosing who joins, which may be the product of the Lords of Chaos. I will select five players, or six if the mood strikes me.
