Campaign Name: From The Stars We Fell
DM: @dusky sky
System: Weavers (Homebrew system)
Date/Time: Thursdays <t:1736445600:t> - <t:1736456400:t>

Description:
Weavers is a homebrew TTRPG system that utilises a fluid magic system where player characters, also known as Weavers, can create their own spells (albeit within some constraints). The aim of this game is to playtest what I've got currently written in order to establish a proof of concept to see whether:
A) The system is enjoyable
B) The system is worth developing further.

In the setting of this game magic is commonplace and what sets Weavers apart from each other are their affinities to different types of magic (otherwise known as arts)
Character customisation is designed to be fluid and free with characters able to organically grow their skills through playing and experimenting with different approaches to problem solving.

The intent behind this game is to run the game from levels 1-3 within the system (the system has content until level 5) and then to reconvene to talk about how people feel about the game.

Plot Hook:
Your days at the academy are nearing their end. Sometime soon you'll have to find some way to sustain yourself. Maybe you could keep studying further, eventually teach at the academy. You could always slum it doing manual labour. Or perhaps you could find your luck with one of the guilds.

Of course, whatever you choose, it's probably best you stick together. Magic these days feels... different.
As if there's something beneath your skin, begging to break free.

You think nothing of it. You find a nice guild, the Rosendale Explorers Society. Your first task? To trek your way to an old tower atop the hill to prove your worth.
How fun.

Timezones doesn't matter as the time listed is a timestamp and auto converts to your local time.

For me, it's 6PM - 9PM because I'm GMT
But for someone in EST it would read 1PM - 4PM

Okay, in short, whatever the time is listed as for the game, that's the time it'll be for you 🙂

#

I'm sorry

So I'm GMT and it's 6PM start time.

If you're GMT+1 or +2, then it'll likely be 7 or 8PM start time

I have a really nice bard concept

A bard-like character (as in a character that goes around telling stories) definitely works.

But this isn't like D&D 5e with all their casters.
All magic is innately arcane and comes from incantations/arcane gestures.

I've sent you a friend request, but I won't be able to really chat tonight as it's like 2AM for me

I had a few ideas

#

Like a wild magic bard who owns a traveling casino and is in search of someone who out cheated him

For anyone on the fence about this game, I'm stopping taking applicants at midnight GMT. (So in just under 5 hours)

Even if you're curious, I'll be running a small test oneshot for folks to test the system before committing to a longer playtest 🙂

Sent you a friend request so we can chat in DMs
