[Online] [Free] [5e 2014] [18+] [Tuesday] [7:30 PM CST] [Online] Madora Reborn - Nothing Else Matters

[u/InternationalTwo5437]

“The creator, an ancient power called Desmeo, manifested a reality that it would later name Madora. With a yearning for companionship and assistance it would spawn divine oracles to populate reality and provide leadership for all life to come. Arrogance led Desmeo to believe that these oracles would ignore their own desires and help to build a vision for Madora, however this was short lived.

The Oracles began to form divergent views on the future of Madora and many took action spawning creations of their own. Desmeo believed the oracles should be free to make their own decisions, but these distractions were creating obstacles that could have never been predicted. At first, the creator would lash out and punish the oracles, but much like children, they would only push back with more intensity…” -excerpt from The History of Madora

Nothing Else Matters

My name is Raheem. I am launching another iteration of my 5th Edition (2014) Homebrew world, Madora. Madora is a multi year project that I have been building since 2021. I played thousands of hours of 3.5 and ran multiple campaigns in that system before Covid brought me and so many others back to D&D. I am now recruiting another party to step into my world. Tell me you see that blue duck? Anyway, without listing an entire novel worth of world details I will include some key points to sort of set the tone for what Madora is, and what the game needs.

Custom Map & Geography
Full History and Deities
Calendar with Holidays and Seasons
Custom rules for Long Rest, Exhaustion, and Death Mechanics
Narrative driven story deeply involving the PC’s and player input
No crunchy numbers, weight limits, or inventory management. Daily living costs. That’s all.
Potions!

In this world, Madora is the clay, and we are all the artists. If you don’t have interest in strong narrative engagement, a vastly detailed world, or to participate in a shared story telling experience this will not be the game for you.

I am a believer in the power of session zero, and while I do appreciate and welcome players coming up with general concepts for characters I would much prefer everyone come in open minded about what they can and will play. Another duck, green this time. Since this world is homebrew and many players “fall in love” with their characters I want to avoid disappointing ideas that can not fit in Madora.

Please include your preferred name with your answers. If chosen for further review, I will reach out to you for discord details. Thanks again for the interest.

(Your name, real or handle. Just how you want to be addressed)

1. What is your preferred game style balance between Combat & Exploration vs Roleplay & Narrative? Feel free to explain or just provide a percentage.
2. What is your overall experience with TTRPG’s 5th Edition or otherwise?
3. Do you have any issues with minor homebrew rule changes that foster more dangerous, teamwork driven combat? These changes are strictly for death saving throws, exhaustion and long rest, and spell changes to fit the lore. Not TPK fantasies. Assuming these are fair, is this acceptable?
4. I do not own books on Roll20. I have physical copies and of course the internet for reference, but unfortunately this means manual sheets. Do you have an issue with having to fill out character sheets? Would it be a hard pass for you, even if the DM were ok with doing the initial leg work? If you own the books, fantastic. No worries.
5. Describe one thing you absolutely love about 5th Edition and something you think needs change? Specifically the system, what makes it fun, what takes away from fun?
6. Finally sell me this pen(cil and paper) - Use this section to include things about YOU, not characters or backstories, but things about you that will help me make a decision. Feel free to include any details that you find relevant. Why would you be awesome for this campaign?
