The Knife's Edge [Play D&D any time of day through text]
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The line between reality and fey is blurred in this land of progress and conflict. Two forces, constantly at odds, struggle to shape the landscape in their own image. Unseelie malevolence brims beneath a surface of political conspiracy and a struggle for social power. Arcane secrets guide the whims of inventors against their own interests, driven to unveil that which has been rightfully locked away. An engineering revolution strains the very energies that bind the world. Find your place in this everchanging world of teeming cityscapes, distant lands, airship-dotted skies, vibrant wilds, and ancient history. Explore fabled metropolises, navigating the aristocracy. Delve beneath long hidden ruins following a vague rumor for the chance at a glimpse of the unknown. Join the industrial renaissance with your scientific contributions. A life of villainy or virtue is just a matter of perspective. This living world is guided by a GM who is dedicated to creating a vivid and immersive experience, tailoring each story to the individual player. Whether you have a busy schedule, or you're available all hours, the server is organized for you to choose your own pace and stay at the heart of the narrative from your phone or computer. Join a small community of players who are each enjoying their own story--sometimes allied, others, conflicting. See the ripples of their actions in your own story, and watch your waves cast out to theirs. 🍿 Unique high-fantasy oil-punk setting that has been in development for decades. 🍿 Narratives tailored specifically to you, that can be enjoyed with a small party, or completely by yourself. With a pool of 10-15 other players to adventure with, in groups of up to 3 at a time. 🍿 Participate in multiple adventures at the same time with your character. 🍿 Global events that alter the landscape, felt across the game with new adventures and limited time opportunities. 🍿 Innovative mechanics that are thousands of hours in the making, allowing players to automate actions, develop their projects, and even choose their adventure when the GM is in-between writing. 🍿 Immersive living experiences: housing, vivid characters and contacts, professions, and world effects. 🍿 Game master present every day, almost all day. Working constantly. 🍿 A system that is constantly growing, all for the express purpose of providing the utmost efficiency of Jerin's writing so that he can spend all of his time developing stories. 🍿 This is the only campaign that the GM is running. Allowing him to focus exclusively on this content. All you need is some excitement for the story to come and a joy for reading. Join a remarkable writer in crafting a story just for you, together. Jerin (CrookRobot) has decades of experience in bringing players out of their shells and developing remarkable narratives shaped around their interests! Live the world of Bacal. Join a session.

This is an asynchronous campaign, meaning it does not have a set session time as traditional tabletop players might come to expect. Instead, the game is running all day, every day. Players can step in on their phone for 5 minutes while on a break or spend a whole evening chatting it up. The pace by which you engage with the story is entirely up to you.

Gameplay details
Jerin is a friendly, consistent, and relaxed GM. He typically enjoys creating challenging narratives that create a memorable impact and often challenge players in impactful ways. He tends to lean towards gritty noire, ethical dilemmas, and confounding mystery. But always takes care to read into what the player is interested in. Above all, Jerin enjoys connection, and part of that is getting to know each player and figuring out what really drives them towards the experiences they crave. Character death is always a possibility. But Jerin knows that some players just aren't about that. Some people want to be pushed, some just want to read books and play with cute animals. Finding out which kind of player YOU are is part of character creation and orientation. Jerin has a profound talent for being able to read people, even across the vastness of text. Finding out what makes you tick, and bringing that to life is all part of the experience.
