5e Fantasy Post-Plague France
Hello!
I am seeking online players for a short homebrew campaign I am starting from scratch. I have DM'd 5e for ~3 years, Fabula Ultima for 2 years, and GM'd a few Pathfinder 2e sessions. As a player I've played various TTRPGs on and off over the past 12 years or so. If you are interested, please comment below AFTER reading the requirements and setting info.
System: 5e, I am open to 5.5e content but do not have the books. If you would like something from 5.5e just share it with me for approval.
Requirements: 4-5 players, age requirement 25+, familiarity with the system is encouraged but enthusiasm can compensate. LGBTQ+ friendly, of course.
Platform: Foundry
Expected Availability: Bi-Monthly Friday
Tone: Dark Adventure with room for comedy. See Setting Inspirations
Setting: Fantasy Europe
What to Expect: A land in disarray, dangerous travel, competitive factions
Setting Information: The Black Plague has just scythed its way through the populace, and social upheaval has swept through in its wake. Desperate for workers, local lords have relaxed rules on commoner travel and trade. As a result, those with skills have abandoned withering farms, abusive lords, and the odd demonic assault to seek out work. Some wish only to survive, others seek passage into the burgeoning merchant class, and others still wish to upend the entire plague-rotted system.
Setting Inspirations: Between to Fires, The Devils, elements of history
Setup: Travelers (PCs) roll into the plague-ravaged town of Dinan in search of work. Through coordination or happenstance or some combination they stumble across a lucrative opportunity: the local church desperately needs the recently recovered skull of Saint Malo, a sacred relic held at a nearby cathedral.
Demon-infested wilderness, church political maneuvering, and the shifting landscape of a ravaged land await the party. Do you seek fortune? Or power? Or simply survival? At the end of the day, you're lucky if all you have is your life.
