Eden RPG- Adventures in a New World

About the adventure

Eden RPG is a game I have written myself from the ground up to provide a different kind of game experience where your actions in the game world lead to you improving your characters ( such as studying magical tomes, training with NPC's, and consuming food ) in ways that aren't just leveling up. The game came to me when I found myself not enjoying any editions of D&D that were brought to me, my game has many rules but much of it is simplified from the start and built on expanding your options and gaining more complex mechanics as you play and learn the game, to create a sense of improvement not only with your character, but also yourself as you will become better at the game as you improve your character. The game world otherwise known as "Eden" was written from the ground up just like the system and has been expanded and fleshed out as an open world for all of my players to exist in on a singular timeline, meaning players ( if the timeline and location match up ) can sometimes find themselves doing crossovers with other groups to have adventures and stories with other players, expanding your characters overall story. It is a mostly D20 based system using some minor other rolls of dice if the occasion calls for it. The game is very much high fantasy, a plethora of magical abilities and items make up the society, with magic instead of standard science ( such as using air based magic to raise people into the air creating elevators, crystal balls that can have memories placed in them creating video/photo ) without losing that medieval flare that most people like for their high fantasy games. The game is overall lighthearted and silly in the day to day bits, but the adventuring itself can be gruesome and gritty at times, as many of the quests deal with difficult subjects as I wanted to create a world where the people had very real problems, and not just the standard " oh a dragon burned down a village " or " theres weird stuff in my basement. " While the game does have these because they can be funny or interesting encounters, it will also have quests that can deal with any and all subjects as I write my stories with no reservations. The game however is built on a " Guild " system where you take quests from a guild you are in, and they direct you to the person that needs help, upon speaking to them and discovering their particular problem, you can opt out of the quest and go get another, if the particular content would be difficult for the group/player to handle So if you enjoy magical games with plenty of ways to improve your character, and a whole world to explore and grit and grime then please give Eden RPG a shot and let's see if we can have great stories and adventures together! And if that’s not enough information or not enough to sell you on the game, you are free to message me or join my discord server ( with no commitment ) to speak to my other players directly for your own piece of mind. https://discord.gg/XfKJS7d3

Additional Details

How to prepare

All that is needed is a Discord account and a functioning microphone to speak during the game. Cameras are completely optional, I myself will be using only voice but the players are welcome to have video amongst themselves. There are discord bots for dice rolling so dice are also not needed. For an extra fee I offer physical maps to be added to the experience via a program called " RPG Stories " using that would require a steam account ( the program allows me to invite players for free so no purchase of the software is needed )

What I provide

There are two drawn maps available to the players during session zero, a map of the starting island known as " Grallia " and a map of the overworld known as " Eden. " I have access to a artist that takes commissions for character art if the players are interested.

Gameplay details

The game is very much gritty at times and will deal with many dark/traumatic situations as the people of the world will require help with very real problems. I have clicked on just about every trigger warning ( except ones that do not apply such as guns as there are crossbows but that is not inherently a gun ) so that people are aware ahead of time that these things are happening in the world and you may or may not encounter them. This is not to say that every single session theres going to be all of these things, but over the course of the campaign you can and will likely receive quests dealing with any of these subjects, but the safety of the players is built into the game itself as players join any number of "guilds" and quests are picked off of a board of available quests that I have written, and the players are given a chance to speak to the NPC that posted the quest. This means you can and will at the very least hear mention of any of the clicked triggers from the characters in game, however it is up to the player at that point to decide if they wish to pursue the quests based off of what the NPC says to them. However there will be several situations where this is not the case and players must be aware of that, there will be situations where NPC's may be talking about quests, or just their lives in general and these things may be brought up. There are encounters of the world that are not tied to quests at guilds and these can and will have any of the clicked tags as the premise/theme. I believe wholeheartedly in free writing during the storylines/quests of the game so I felt it was important to touch on that at the very least, I believe that anything and everything can make a story, and my writing shows that, some things may not be fully described in excruciating edgelord like detail, but they very much will be described to a degree that the players understand what their characters are looking at/experiencing.

How will character creation work

In my personal discord server I have links to the available races and classes at a cursory glance via google docs posts, they are very barebones as the premise of the game is built upon learning as you play so these links only provide the bare minimum information needed to understand what you'll be getting into. Anything further is explained during session zero when characters are created and mechanics are explained.
