  • 16:37, 25 July 2022 Jonahgrimm talk contribs created page Downtime (Created page with "Adventurers don't exist in a vacuum; they need to be doing something between their dangerous jaunts into the field! So let's go through how downtime works in the Aria of Stars. Downtime should be resolved, if possible, prior to the start time of your session; the GM will be available for this purpose, and can approve downtime actions through the Discord downtime request channel as well. == Downtime Conceits: == A character is assumed to do enough odd jobs or basic wor...")

  • 21:22, 24 July 2022 Jonahgrimm talk contribs created page What is D&D? (Created page with "That's a big question - but if you're asking it, it's definitely worth answering. Dungeons and Dragons is a roleplaying game built to be played together on a tabletop with friends - equal parts shared storytelling, social event, grand adventure, and imagination. A Game Master (mostly me!) describes the world - everything you see, everyone you meet, every event that transpires - and you, as a player, taking on the persona of a character in the world, figure out what you...")

I have some things I don't enjoy playing or DMing, and don't have any interest in dealing with - and so do you. To that end, we're going to identify our limits and boundaries, and implement a system for players to move past things that, for whatever reason, are re...") Tag: Visual edit

I will provide combat/encounter maps (And these may have exploration hints) and you may find maps in the world that may or may not be accurate.

  • 17:42, 24 July 2022 Jonahgrimm talk contribs created page Time (Created page with "Missions take time, and time is an intrinsic part of the West Marches campaign style and the Reach itself. For simplicity's sake, the Reach uses the modern, Gregorian calendar, day namings, months, and so on - we handwave that there are local equivalents and names (And we'll probably express them later) - but it's easy to work with a year we already understand. === Time Advancement: === Time advances in real time within the Reach. === What does that mean? === Tim...")

  • 17:22, 24 July 2022 Jonahgrimm talk contribs created page What is West Marches, and Why? (Created page with "There are a thousand ways to play any RPG - but Aria of Stars is choosing a game type that isn't common these days - the West Marches style of campaign. This is a game that's focused on survival, adaptability, and the mystery of the unknown, with themes of exploration, danger, and a sort of pulp sensibility. This is the deep jungle exploration of Kipling, the two-fisted space adventure of 50's pulp novels, Indiana Jones and The Jewel of the NIle, The Rundown and The Thin...")

Deep Elves, Kobolds and Gnomes, underwent some great cataclysm - one that left behind only the dwarves that were away from the great holdings, kobolds in their isolated fane in the Dragon Isles, and Deep Elves that were part of several trade enclaives on the surface. Not a single gnome has been seen since. The Rabbits have what seems to be the clearest picture: The gnomes of ant...") Tag: Visual edit
  • 21:43, 22 July 2022 Jonahgrimm talk contribs created page Ley lines (Created page with "The Weave in the world is called by some "Dragonblood" or "Heart'sblood" - and these names come from the way magical power settles in Ley Lines, broad rivers of magic that flow through the undercroft and bleed power into the surrounding world. Make no mistake - a ley line is not some theoretical construct; dig deep enough and they are visible as great rivers of unbridled, incomprehensible magic that flow in a great rush.

Disallowed access to the social net and advancement testing, they are still allowed to participate in commerce and are allowed to buy and own property and assets.
