Hello and welcome to the introduction to The Lost Lands. This is my last call to.roundup the last couple players.

To start out, this game takes place in a Forgotten Realms style world, and will be a Sandbox world focused on the players choices for which directions they wish to take the game. It will involve both a bi-weekly (Once every two weeks) meetup session, as well as what I describe as "Downtime PbP Roleplay" Where players can still engage with the world in smaller ways and with each other to enjoy the more heavy roleplay side of the game. The PbP element is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged as it is a part of the game I enjoy to do when i have free time. The game will take place on Wednesdays, from 6pm to 9-10pm EST (Maybe later if we're feeling it, though unlikely). The primary language will be English

The game will run from level 1 to 20. Yes, 20. I expect this to be a very long-winded campaign, and truly experience all the things that every level of Dungeons and Dragons has to offer. At the lower levels, PCs will mostly be experiencing the world, encountering new things, and forming their opinions of the many different things that are around for them to view.

Players backstories will factor into the world, but the game will mostly revolve around who the characters become as they encounter the different factions, people, and places of the world. There are an equal amount of 2 dimensional NPCs, and 3 dimensional NPCs. That is to say, some factions, groups, or individual powerful people will be a certain set of obvious ideals, such as a Lawful Good Guard who wishes only to enforce order, and others will be complicated and have deeper layers to them, such as a city ruled by a tyrannical beholder that is still viewed as a god by its people for the safety it provides. There will be many oddities to encounter, and part of the fun of the game is players feeling out how they'll handle some of these different situations. If I collect a group of players who don't see the fun in these social situations, I do not mind changing them to be either more one dimensional, or more nuanced.

The more the players wish to encounter something in their backstory, world, or the general world of Dungeons and Dragons, the more it will come up. If the players are Pantheon-avoidant, then I would not expect many encounters with the different gods and pantheons other then the occasional mention. If the players have a dedication to hunting a specific type of Creature such as Dragons, the entire campaign may be around the hunting of Dragons and their allies. I am open to many ideas, and have many things that the players may choose to interact with or avoid depending on what they enjoy. I prefer more of this sandbox style of running.

There will be a session 0 where party members will create characters together. It will be expected for players to create characters that can mesh together, and even though PCs may disagree, the people piloting them will must have the separation that the party is working together at all times. Death can be a common occurrence if players are reckless or otherwise ignore all signs of the world, but otherwise is highly unlikely.

This middle section is to weed out people who do not bother to read nor engage in the story, and just wish to skim past and insert a character into a world that does not fit them. There will be many times where something important is said by an NPC, or perhaps said in the PbP downtime, or even passed in a DM due to it being a behind-the-curtain interaction that will be important for the story and other players to engage with, enjoy, and take part in. I'd like to make sure to have players that at least have the effort to put into the game to read everything through to the end, and this joining of the campaign is the most important part of that as this is the main process for which I hope to find players. If you actually did bother to take the time to read to see if this game is for you, you will send me a DM with your Discord ID so we can meet and you may ask me any questions about the campaign and I'll give you greater overview of the things we will be doing and I will answer any questions you have about the game. When I add you, I will ask you a question, the answer to that question will be "Geese" and if I receive any other answer, you will promptly be removed and I will not accept you into the game. I put a lot of work into the game and have for many years, I would like players to have a desire to be in the game and engage

Hello and welcome to the introduction to The Lost Lands. I am posting again to hopefully get a couple more players for a session 0 on Wednesday, May 6th.

I put a lot of work into the game and have for many years, I would like players to put have a desire to be in the game and engage with the world and other players.

This game does use 2024 rules for a majority of interactions, if a player wishes to use a 2014 class or set of rules for a class, that will be allowed. Homebrew is also allowed *At DMs discretion, though I am quiet open to homebrew and often have been. Character stats will be 4d6 Drop lowest 1, at Advantage. You may roll two sets and take the better of the two. If you like neither roll, you may take the Standard Array at your choice. Health per level is rolled, and if it is less then the average, you take the average. Multi-classing is allowed. There are a list of other homebrew rules that I will not bog down this post with, but I feel as though most of them are not world-warping nor too significant to list here all in quick succession.

While character creation will be a team effort, I will be there to answer any questions about different places of the world if you'd like to be from a particular place already in world, and if you'd like to invent your own area to have come from, I do not mind writing it in and having you experience it later in the campaigns cycle. I would like to bring your backstory to life as part of the narrative if you would like it to be, but would like to save that for a bit of a higher level (Typically 4+). The earlier levels will likely be the standard adventuring life. I also do not mind having players have some secrets in the backstory or background that may come up later that they may not want to immediately divulge to the group, but I will be the arbiter of if it will be too conflicting with others based on my feeling of the situation.

The gameplay will, at least to start, will primarily revolve around several good-aligned factions seeking help in minor problems around their local area. A Major city with several factions that sends aid to satellite cities who need it. A character is expected to have a reason to go out and adventure, and to at least answer this call. and while the games lethality will be low, PCs can perish throughout the course of the game, and is something that anybody adventuring would be mindful of.

If this sounds like something you are interested in, send me a direct message or reply as appropriate. If you have any questions, throughout this process I will find time to answer them. Thank you for your time.
