It's been a while. Life happens, so do things that put a halt to enjoying it. It's a new year and I've started up a new game, using the excellent Anomalous Subsurface Environment module by Patrick Wetmore. For system, I'll be using the beta of Worlds Without Number by Kevin Crawford. I'd use Old School Essentials or another retroclone but I feel the character customization afforded by WWN will help my players, who mainly got into the hobby via D&D 5e and Pathfinder, ease into a more OSR style of play.
Of course, due to the preferences of myself and my players, this game is going to be a bit more fuzzier than usual. Each PC will be listed with their name, class, and background as well as a short descriptive blurb.
Update (2/22/21): One player left the game, but two others had joined, playing Celica and Kla'ir!
Update (3/9/21): A new character, and the first death.
Anomalous Subsurface Environment Exploration Team
Aria - Priest / Duelist - Laborer
An indentured servant of the church of the Blood God. Eventually broke away to become a priestess of another religion, worshipping the Weaver, one of the Children of the Twelve.
Hailing from a tribe of wandering beastmaster nomads, trying to find out what had happened to his parents.
Laguna - Healer / Elementalist - Physician
Was tossed out of the magic academy for being a prick. Now looking for work.
Celica - Necromancer / Skinshifter - Scholar
A mysterious figure who seeks knowledge. As she takes on unnatural forms, she uses subterfuge to hide her true self, and possibly her true intentions.
An odd goat creature with gilded horns. Seems to have magical origins, going so far as to register as a magical creature. Tends to act very precocious.
Firion - Warrior / Thought Noble - Soldier
An heir of a former thought-house, though he lost any and all heirlooms to prove it. Now broke and looking for money. Hides his powers from most people.
In addition to this group, I happened to have the fortune of assembling a second group as well using the same setting. Introducing...
The Duo Cavorting Around Denethix and Surrounding Lands
Bored of his life in a broken down village of huts and turnip farms, he teamed up with an unexpected ally to finally get some excitement.
Sebastian - High Mage - Scholar
Mysteriously summoned into this world by a wizard when he was expected to clock into work that morning. Now trying to get back home.
Those Who Have Left, Alive or Otherwise
Smith - Warrior - Soldier (Status: Left the Party)
Have spear, will travel.
Kla'ir - Warrior - Barbarian
A
warrior from a far-off tribe. Given a branch from the tree of life her
tribe was tasked with protecting and has gone off into the world in
search of new experiences.
