    * You can’t make something out of nothing, or nothing out of something (mass is conserved) * Magic comes from below and returns to below. * There’s always a downward pull when using magic. * Using magic to fly is impossible; it always goes down.

    The City

    We live in a huge megacity, which extends for hundreds of miles in every direction, as well as down below the surface, up into the sky and beyond. The rest of the world, as far as we know, is nothing but strip mines and toxic wasteland, with immense, solar-powered farming towers peppering (and polluting) the landscape.

    By the DM, 2017-10-18

    Skills were one of my favorite parts of D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder. They remain one of my favorite parts of D&D 5. Like in every edition of D&D, rogues and bards are the skill masters, but who is better?

    * No Selfishness. The table is here to have fun together. Grabbing all loot for yourself, PVPing for no purpose other than bloodlust, trying to get the party hurt or killed, and any other form of “fun vampirism

    Eion O'Shanessey

    Pronounced “Owen.” Goes by “O” or “The O.”

    Life Before Shadow

    In Apex, Eion was a chemist, specializing in performance-enhancing drugs. He lived in a rented apartment (a penthouse, like every apartment in Apex), which was a front for his operation. Business was booming, but he was caught dealing with unsavory magical sorts.

  • roleplay:campaign:shadow:shadow:sinkhole 2022-05-27 20:49 Show differences to current revisions Old revisions Sinkholeplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSinkhole

    The 40,000 or so people living in Sinkhole lives along the highway separating the district from Landing to the northwest, Market and the Upper and Lower Slopes to the north and the West Park Woods to the west. The district is noted for its foul-smelling air, and downward-sloping muddy terrain, soft as quicksand in places, and dotted with tunnels leading down into the City Below.

    Shadow is the old city on the ground. It's a dark place, with the only external light coming from the few Apex floodlights that work and actually reach the ground.

    Landing is the central region of Shadow, where rockets used to take supplies up to Apex. These days, it's run down and very poor, with small pockets of closely-guarded wealth. There's no central market -- shops open up seemly at random, and most goods are made and sold from individual homes. Most people live and work in very old structures, which vary from 2-3 story tenements to tall residential towers, only the first few floors of which are still habitable. Newer construction is mostly…

    A very brief overview of the system

    Narrative Dice

    Whenever you have to roll (which isn’t all that often), you create a dice pool based on a characteristic, a relevant skill, the difficulty of the check and any circumstantial factors. Once you figure out what you rolled, you’ll have some combination of:

    Genesys is as heavy-weight as D&D. Read the rules and create a character if you want, or create a partial character (this online character sheet could help), or I’ll build one for you based on what you’re interested in playing.

    Appearance, personality, background.
