THE GRIMM SOCIETY
The City of Brakenberg houses one of the top Adventurer's Guilds in the region, second only to the Adventurer's Guild in Stonehall. As of late, there have been more and more strange occurrences happening in and around the surrounding forests, plaguing the towns and villages nearby. A small faction founded by brothers Math and Ledger Grimm, has recently requested the aid of the Brakenberg Adventurer's Guild to lend some of their adventurers to assist them in investigating recent occurrences and eradicating threats found. There have been more than rumors about beasts and monsters, dark magic and strange instances, to which the brothers are working diligently to investigate and document before finding the means to stop it.
You are an adventurer. Whether you are newly recruited or a veteran of sorts really doesn't matter. The offer was still presented to you. Would you like to join The Grimm Society? The rewards and recognition will be great. There is chance to see and experience things beyond one's wildest imaginations. There is also a high chance of danger and threat to one's well being. The coin is helpful as well.
What kind of RP is this?
This is going to be a fusion between PBP (Post by Post) and D&D style. What that means is that there will be a heavy amount of rp that will be done in rp threads and/or to a connected server made specifically for the rp. It may also include setting aside a night to do some actual D&D style play through discord voice chat to play for a couple hours. This would mainly be for combat and/or to go over anything with the dm (that's me!) that may been explaining or clarifying. It is heavily requested, but not required to participate in the D&D discord voice chat portion, but you may be locked out of certain encounters that are made specifically for the case.
I don't know much/have not played D&D. Can I still join?
Of course! This is being built to cater to new players, so by all means, come to me and ask me questions! I will help you out as much as I can to incorporate your ideas into the story. I will provide links to resources if you need material as well. Don't worry if you've never opened up a D&D book, I'm here to aid and assist!
How is this going to work?
First, you will make a character the same way you make a D&D character. If you don't know how, I will set aside some time to sit down with you to help you fill out a sheet. But try to come up with some kind of character concept beforehand so I know what I'm working with. Once your character is created and accepted, we will discuss how they fit into the world, what their starting point will be, and then the rping will start from there!
For the most part, the rp will be like your standard group rp--where the narrator (or the dm, me, in this case) will set the stage, and you as the player can post as your character. You can interact with other characters as you so choose. And more or less, is a sandbox with a story if you so choose to pick it.
If you decide to take on story quests, some of them can be done through rping, which may take some plotting and discussion ooc to do, but it will be doable. Others may need to be done through D&D style rping. The kind of rping where we all come together in voice chat and play an actual D&D game. It will be no longer than 2-3 hours and the day and time will be scheduled in advance so that each player can schedule accordingly. Again, you are not required to join in on these D&D sessions, but it is encouraged to get the best experience.
