Magical Girl 199X Play-by-Post (Beginner Friendly) (PbP)
Chronicles of Darkness | Campaign
About the adventure
Princess the Hopeful is a Magical Girl TTRPG based off The Chronicles of Darkness. We'll be playing the Vocation Edition. Chronicles of Darkness is a dice pool based game, focused primarily on storytelling. In this game you live life as normal college student while tackling the encroaching darkness and trying to balance your life between both. THIS CAMPAIGN: As a magical girl you'll fight evil by moonlight and love by daylight in a 199X college setting. Long ago Queens ruled the Dreamlands. But Darkness encroached upon the land and forced the Kingdoms into prisons of darkness. But now darkness has made it's way to planet earth and only a select few who hold a great light within them can reach into the dream lands and access the prisoned queens powers. Those special few are all the planet has to save them from the dark. These girls will have to fight villains consumed by darkness while also managing to juggle their friendships, relationships and grades! ----- While this is primarily a sandbox game where you will create and follow your own goals, there will be a set narrative in place to keep the game moving based on the characters and their stories. This is a Play-by-Post game where we'll be playing via discord and a dice bot. It's completely asynchronous. You can post when you're available and at your convenience the game is always on when you're on! (Try and post 2-3 posts a day)
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.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
How this game works as a PbP: As a new player joining this campaign, you receive a personalized prologue, tailored to your character’s backstory and motivations. These prologues are designed to weave you seamlessly into the ongoing narrative, ensuring your entry feels natural, impactful, and uniquely yours. This game charges weekly, it does not start or stop at a specific time. You play when you're available. To put it another way: This game is always on. If you're busy with work that's okay! You can pop into chat later and catch up. If you're really available you can pop in and roleplay! (Note: I run Multi-game discounts: For every game of mine you join I reduce the cost of all games you're in.)

How will character creation work
We'll create characters together, it's a community game and we should all be on the same page for this to work as intended! Before we begin I would like to discuss the type of tone and feeling we want from the game, as well as figure out what our interests are in the genre and what we'd like to see.
