Hello world, are you tired of uninterested and flaky players? Are you disgusted by the fact people charge to play D&D? Want to actually get playing? Well then you search is over, My name is Jason, I am a new GM and want to start an in person group that can get together once or 2 twice a month to play a few one shots and maybe a longer campaign. I am learning the VTTs so when i get that down ill be posting online games too. Contact me here or on my Discord GMJ Server

Looking for players for a CWN campaign tentatively titled “Chrome Fires Burning.” Voice is on Discord, VTT will probably be roll20. Everyone is welcome, the only rule is don’t be a dick. Games will be Sunday nights at 9PM CST Elevator pitch is as follows: The year is 2072. In 2025 the development of a new drug, ephemerol, lead to unbelievable advances in cybernetics and technological implantation. Able to bridge the gap between the nervous system and machine circuitry, ephemerol was hailed as a miracle drug, ushering in a new age of transhumanism However, before this new technological golden age could be upon us, it was smothered in the cradle by corporate greed. A jealousy guarded secret, the corporations who developed it held the formula for the miracle drug hostage, demanding corporate sovereignty in exchange for granting access to the masses. A combination of public promises, lobbyists, and paid politicians ensured this deal went through The gift became a double edged sword as the drug was distributed, only working with the cybernetics supplied by those corporations granted sovereignty, allowing them to gobble up more and more influence, to the point that entire cities have become little more than corporate towns, beholden to the companies that own them Within these sovereign territories, anything that threatens the bottom line is meet with brutal consequences. The workers who decided to rise up, to unionize, were branded criminals and domestic terrorists, locked away if not executed in a back alley Public utilities have been sold off little by little, leaving those who refuse the hand of the corporations with rapidly dwindling resources. The once mighty governments of the world now forced to bend the knee to the oligarchs Gangs run rampant, acting with impunity as long as their dues are paid, or left to their own devices due to lack of resources to stop them Despite this turmoil, there is new opportunity. Companies now fight a desperate war for market share, managers willing to pay to sabotage one another for the next promotion. Money talks, and right now, it’s screaming Chicago is one such battleground. Built into a shining edifice as the headquarters of several massive corporations, it now resembles a patchwork of countries, as each corporation claims sovereign territory within the blocks of city property it lays claim to. A hub of trade even in this time, boardroom battles spill out on to the streets, bullet and blade picking up where ink and negotiation fail

You have spent your entire life gazing up at the suns, moons, and twilit wanderers knowing them only as the distant realms of the gods. You grew up believing magic was a myth reserved for high kings, court mystics, and rare legends... a gift granted to perhaps one in a million. Like all good lies, there is a hint of truth. The celestial bodies above are indeed divine, but magic is far from rare. It is actively policed and hidden away by a shadowy organization operating in plain sight across the continent of Uxlav. Now, an inexplicable spark has awakened that forbidden power within you. You are left with an impossible choice: cling to the fragile comfort of your ordinary life, or step forward into a reality where magic is real, dangerous, and directly in your hands. Cross paths with the Order of Silver Knights to learn the truth behind dragons; monstrous terrors that warp the fabric of reality itself and twist nearby mortals into servile thralls known as kobolds. Face the horrors that extraplanar entities inflict upon those touched by magic, uncover the ancient corruption leaking into the mortal realm, and journey from Uxlav's fractured surface to the dark depths of the world. You will not emerge the same person who entered. Campaign Overview System: D&D 5.5e (Non-PHB 2014 content allowed) Starting Level: Level 0 Session Length: 4 – 6 hours per session Schedule: Weekly long-term campaign (40+ sessions) Platform: Roll20 (VTT & Combat Maps) + Discord (Voice required, video optional) Tone: Dark Fantasy, Mystery, Planar Intrigue, Exploration Cost: $10 per session via paypal, or $30/month The Setting: The Realms of Ava's continent Uxlav The campaign begins on the continent of Uxlav, a vast realm still nursing the scars of three centuries of warfare following the fall of the Mund Empire. While an uneasy peace holds the surface together, political tension simmers beneath every border. In the heavens, the pantheon numbers only ten deities, though the dominant Church of Solaris preaches that their Lord of Light should be the only one. Across these fractured lands, dragons are not noble beasts of legend, but reality-altering anomalies whose mere presence rewrites the land and subjugates the mind. The Order of Silver Knights stands as the thin line between ordinary mortals and these living calamities, hunting rogue entities before their corruption spreads unchecked. Player Character Guidelines Level 0 Start: You begin as ordinary folk. Laborers, apprentices, scouts, or scoundrels, before the spark of power alters your path. Character Backgrounds: Grounded roots within Mund’s successor nations (such as the imperial remnants of Oram, the industrial halls of Brevis Solea, the river republic of Flumund, or the wild borders of Luctus). Species: All standard options are available; personal histories and world perceptions are tied to local culture rather than cosmic spoilers.
