[Online][5e 2014/2024][PST][Mondays] Out of the Wreckage — A surreal, story-driven campaign about dreams, poetic imagination, and whimsical worlds

“There is a woman who can feel the future and walks between dreams.

She smells like rain on warm stone and speaks like she’s already forgiven you.

She will not save the world for you.
But she will sit beside you while you try.

And she has come to you, in some irreverent ways,
And she asked you to save Earth, and the worlds that live under you eyelids,

Somewhere, beneath everything—

The Call of the Void has taken a form and wants to come to our world.”

Welcome everyone! My name is Lambo (or Cooper) and I am looking for one more player for my campaign, Out of the Wreckage campaign. Out of the Wreckage is a sister campaign to my first homebrewed campaign called, Under your Eyelids. While Under your Eyelids is the original and more direct fantasy campaign, Out of the Wreckage is the campaign that follows in the wake of what is happening in Under your Eyelids, as these two campaigns run separately, but also simultaneously, and a big component of this campaign is that this party is less public, and little unsung, not the heroes saving the world, but the ones who are repairing the worlds after they have been “saved”.

Game:

 DnD 5e

Time: Monday's 5:00pm to 8:00pm (Might be 5:30pm to 8:00pm) PST

Core rule: I will not tolerate or engage with any bigots. Fascist, racist, sexist, anti-lgbt, anti-semite, whatever, DnD is for everyone.

Concept: Not too far in the future of earth (our Earth as we know it.) a new synthetic drug is developed called Varma (coming from the Swedish word for warmth.). It is a light hallucinogenic that ended up having a lot of medical uses. It quickly found its way into the daily life of a large part of the population. It is treated much like marijuana and alcohol are treated in communities. But what the public didn’t know and perhaps maybe even the medical professionals don't know is that about .001% of the people who take this drug fall into a coma.

You all will be playing people from this modern world who have fallen into a coma. When you slip into the coma you feel that you keep falling through a new sky. You land in an ocean of what seems to be blackish liquid that has the consistency of water. You are dragged out and you see a few others on the beach looking dazed and confused. There is someone there to meet you. That is where we will start.

So for character this is going to be a modern campaign. What I can tell you is that in this new world people have strange and unique powers. They might take a little bit to manifest but everyone seems to be unique within their new unique gifts.

This is the second campaign I am setting in this world after over 2 years of story development and lore and I am looking to make a higher level campaign so your characters would already be established and possibly major players in this world. There is a world hopping aspect to these games so there has been urban, steampunk, and sci-fi elements to the game! If you read all of this please write the password Whimsy somewhere in the application.

There were eight initial people who feel into the world who have been given the name, God Fallen. The God Fallen fell into a completely milky white and malleable magic, pure creation, they were in the collective subconscious. This magic allowed them to form worlds, and they all have an item that helps them travel between worlds.

but when they discovered that people will be falling into this space, they tried to create a world for them. But they couldn't agree on what the world should be. Their disagreements raged and came to blows, they fought for what they believed. Once they found there was no middle ground Their decision was to separate the world into 7 individual ones, each run by a God Fallen. Every world has its own completely unique structure, and its own logic and rules. This is how we have vastly different worlds and genres and themes.

________________________

What Is Earthish?

Earthish is a dream-realm formed from a milky, infinite substance of creation.

The first to arrive—known as the God Fallen—were given the power to shape it.

They couldn’t agree on what the world should be.

So they broke it.

Into seven distinct worlds, each with:

  • its own logic
  • its own aesthetic
  • its own emotional truth

You may travel between:

  • a surreal urban city
  • a steampunk society
  • a sci-fi starship
  • a dreamlike underground
  • a looping renaissance festival
  • a drowned eldritch sea
  • a whimsical fairytale realm

About Me (Your DM)

I’m a professional performer and artist with a Master’s degree in theater—my focus was storytelling, myth, and fairytale.

I’ve been DMing for about 3 years and care deeply about:

  • collaborative storytelling
  • emotional depth
  • strange, beautiful worlds

This game will be:

  • a little messy
  • very human
  • and hopefully something that sticks with you

Important Note

This is a Story Driven Campaign:

I’m looking for players who:

  • want to engage emotionally
  • care about character and narrative
  • are open to vulnerability and weirdness

Combat exists—but it is not the focus.
