Guts and Smoke

Looking for 2 more players — D&D 5e (2024), Roll20, homebrew campaign Hey! I've got 3 players and I'm looking for 2 more to round out the table. Starting level 3, milestone leveling (no XP grinding), running on Roll20. The setting is a homebrew world called Aethermoor — think gunpowder mixing with old-school fantasy, muskets next to pike formations, steam-powered dwarven forges, that kind of thing. There's a big invading empire (basically an unstoppable religious war machine) pushing into the heartlands, and your characters get pulled into it as soldiers, mercs, dissidents, whatever fits your concept — the one thing you'll have in common is you're fighting on the allied side. Fair warning, this is meant to be a long campaign, not a one-shot or a short arc. I've got a lot of it planned out already (world, factions, NPCs, the whole thing), so if you're looking for something with real worldbuilding behind it and you like a mix of combat and roleplay/political stuff, this could be a good fit. A couple of homebrew bits: there's a custom playable race (the Ashanites, the empire I mentioned — playing one means you're a defector, which is its own whole thing), a variant human feat for a mercenary culture called the Veilkin, and firearms are a real part of the setting with some house rules attached. Looking for people who can commit to regular sessions since this is going to run for a while. If that sounds like your thing, drop a message and tell me a bit about what you like to play.
