Magehounds || Original Forgotten Realms Campaign
Powered by the Apocalypse RPG, Blades in the Dark | Campaign
About the adventure
- join the ranks of magehounds, special forces, created to hunt down renegade mages and put down horrific monsters - go on daring missions in and out of the borders of Halruaa - establish useful connections and undermine plots of enemies of the state - a land of multiple factions locked in the internecine struggle - grow your home base and turf, add new allies, facilities, items, and boons --- After a century of exile in another plane, the Magocracy of Halruaa has returned to its rightful place in Faerun. As a member of the Government Magehound Unit, you have been bestowed with the great responsibility of protecting the borders of your country, ensuring the safety of your fellow citizens, and engaging with old neighbors who may not welcome your return. Your mission is to inspire respect and awe in all who behold the flying ship of Halrua, whether they be snake-headed Yuan-ti, desert dwarfs, or wildland gangs. --- After long years of playing in Forgotten Realms, I suddenly thought that maybe you don't need D&D to play in this great setting. So come on in to share a story, without tedious crunch and unnecessary long fights, using an easy, lightweight, and narrative-driven system instead, while still enjoying being an elf or tiefling, using awesome magic and all the fun bits, that Forgotten Realms can give)
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Additional details
How to prepare
You will only need a microphone, access to Discord and Zoom for voice chat, and a quiet place. Everything else I can provide or we can figure it out together.
What I provide
The campaign itself, custom maps, NPC portraits and music.
Gameplay details
This game will run with a custom rules-light system of modified PbtA rules + some mechanics from "Blades in the Dark" system. I've tried to create a ruleset, that is very easy to understand/use and is fit for the setting of Forgotten Realms. Fear not even if you haven't played any of this. We also will have breaks during games, session 0, private Discord server just for the players of this game, and I am ready to answer any question almost any time if I'm not asleep)
