Sinners
Who are you? You are a Sinner
And what is a Sinner? Well, that will take some time to explain.
Gamana, the world where we live, hasn’t always been like this, 817 years ago, at the end of the war of the gods, it was profoundly and irreversibly changed, most of the gods died and the things they had created disappeared with them; Edia and Ytar, the two remaining deities picked the broken pieces and repaired the world.
Every living being own their existence to Edia’s and Ytar’s efforts and for this we are eternally thankful but the world we live in now is not without problems and challenges, everything come at a price.
With the death of the gods, the magical energy disappeared, killing all the creatures that depended on it and bringing the world into chaos, Edia replaced the source of power, saving the day, but in doing so tied the world’s magic to one of her domains: curse.
Every act of magic inflict a curse, crafting a magical item could curse the caster, the item, or the shop, healing someone may curse the receiver, or the healer, creatures of magic develop/spread curses.
Over time people got used to this new way of magic, studied it's rules and finally adapted.
Scholars rank curses by intensity: low, medium, high and supreme , if two curses conflict with each other the one of lower rank become dormant, until they are no longer in conflict, the exception is a supreme curse, occasionally called Sinner Curse, which make all those inferior dormant all the times.
Through a ritual a person can dedicate their soul to Edia, embrace a sin and be granted the ability to absorb curses, this paired with supreme curses gave life to the figures known as Sinners.
Sinners are bearers of a supreme curse who dedicated their souls to Edia, becoming able to absorb inferior curses without ill effects, each kingdom handle sinners in their own way, in some places they are nothing more than servants, in others they are highly regarded for their services, in any case they have a key role in the modern society.
Monsters, that’s another problem that plague the life of the inhabitants of this world, there are plenty of monsters and they too are subject to curses, even more than people, they tend to acquire particularly quirky or crippling curses due to their strong connection with Edia, who is the goddess of monsters, sins and curses; since many monsters can spread curses like a disease, or carelessly cast magic, Sinners are often tasked to deal with them, not necessarily with violence, after all Sinners too have a strong connection with Edia and they can, sometimes, reason with monsters.
You are a Sinner of the kingdom of Barazin, currently living in the port city of Bewold at the south west border of the kingdom, in your country each Sinner formally belong to the Order of the Orange Glove, a knightly order created by the monarchy which allow the kingdom to call them when needed while granting them status and some degree of legal protection. Sinners are free to manage their own lives and many become professionals, running their own “cleaning” business, you are one of them, a particularly lucky, connected or successful one as you are a member of the Seven Roses, a prestigious and wealthy society of Sinners, one of the most influential in Bewold, however unfortunate events threaten to destroy the society, all your hard work and you.

Curse of the Crimson Throne
Welcome to Korvosa, a city that pulses with the echoes of ancient conflicts, its streets a living testament to the weight of destiny. Perched on the edge of a wild frontier, this city has withstood the tempests of history, its foundations forged in the crucible of fire and blood. It stands as a beacon of civilization in a realm of chaos, a place where the past and the present intertwine in a dance of intrigue and adventure.
Today, Korvosa stands starkly divided, a city of stark contrasts and glaring contradictions. In the affluent wards, ostentatious displays of wealth and power reign supreme, while in the crowded streets of Old Korvosa, poverty and desperation lurk in the shadows. The vast gulf between the haves and the have-nots, a chasm of inequality, colors every aspect of city life, shaping its culture, politics, and soul.
But amidst the turmoil and uncertainty, there is a beacon of hope. A band of heroes, their hearts filled with courage and determination, gather to confront a familiar foe and save the city from ruin. With strange magic and prophetic visions guiding their path, they embark on a journey that tests their courage, strength, and resolve.
In the face of anarchy and chaos, the fate of Korvosa teeters on a knife's edge. Will the rule of a new monarch bring about a new age of glory, or will it unleash a reign of terror and despair? The city stands on the precipice of disaster, waiting with bated breath for heroes to rise and legends to be born, the outcome uncertain and full of anticipation.

The Crystal Heroes of Terat
Greenbrook. A small, unassuming hamlet of about two thousand inhabitants on the outskirts of the Forest of Harpa, on the Lomorre side. Technically under the aegis of Baron Gerente, and in turn Count Ernaut, and finally Duchess Adeliz of Lomorre. Like many other villages, it has a Crystal Pool on its outskirts, secured by little more than a simple fence, the respect the people of Terat have for the Crystal Knights dissuading any casual would-be vandals. (Well, that and the fact that it's functionally impossible to damage or deface a Crystal Pool anyway).
Even in such a small village, though, the lure of the Knights is strong. Thus, on the Winter Solstice of 563 F.B., a small number of teenagers made the journey to the nearby town of Rosefield, and from there took the train to Lomorre to begin their training at Fort Naoth.
Now, they return, in the company of a Royal Archivist, to undergo their Blessing Ceremony and from there begin their First Trial, Terat their metaphorical oyster to find fame and fortune in as Blessed Knights of the Kingdom.
Even they, however, would have no idea just how important they would become to Terat's future...

Saving Silverbeard
Powerful elements collide in the wake of the attack on Myth Nantar. Since the assault on Myth Nantar, things have been relatively quiet. The Thayans were successfully repelled and have left the area and everything is quiet. A little too quiet for certain.

Total Havoc!
Themes: Antiheroes, Action
Theme Music: Astor Piazzolla
Looking For: 3-5 Players
Your team is a group of talented criminals whose schemes almost always devolve into guns and explosions, car chases, daring escapes and other brushes with death.
The plan has always been to steal stuff and get rich, but your heists often inexplicably line up with even bigger bad guys doing even badder things at the same time, and you've been the only ones who were able to stop them.
Today, you've entered the lair of Queen Heqet, an ancient Egyptian queen who rose to power in the modern world through sheer cunning and ruthlessness. You aim to stop her before she can conquer the world in the name of the New Egyptian Empire.
This game is a single combat scenario. It is not a full campaign. It isn't even a one-shot.
How to Apply
- Your character sheet is your application
- The Character Creation thread has character sheet templates with suggestions based on relevant heist-character tropes
- When you're ready to start building your character sheet, copy the template character sheet code provided and start a new thread in the Applications folder of the game forum

Haint Coming Back
Long after The End descended upon the Old World... humanity started to rebuild itself, albeit wretched and forlorn. Survivors salvaged what they could of government in the form of the American Lands. They rebuilt roads, though in fewer numbers and inferior quality, and they reclaimed the skeletons of buildings. Nowhere does humankind rebuild so desperately as in the humid swamps of the Backwater, where humanity battles itself and the natural elements to survive. You are a warden here—a roaming peace keeper in the American Lands—protecting order at civilization’s southern reach. You travel the Old World’s crumbling roadways among mosquitoes and snakes. You tend to every small town’s big secret, and you quell strife between old families in a new era. Here in the bogs, you keep mutation at bay, ever-watchful for the wretched cousins of ancient humanity. You protect mankind from supernatural horrors that have only started to emerge.
Your journeys have brought you to the Lowcountry, the shattered sea islands haunted by pirates, old money, superstition and, of course, ghosts. They're used to the supernatural here, they've lived beside it since before The End--it had been here since the first peopling of the land and perhaps even before that. But...but something is stirring the pot. Old spirits are being roused. The newly dead refuse to sleep. There is a storm on the horizon, felt in your soul rather than being seen by your eyes.
One of three contacts in the region have requested your aide
- Mx X.- A spy from the Unified Government and nominally your direct superior as a Warden, Mx X is under cover as Miss Amelia Brown, a secretary for the captain overseeing the local garrison. X is concerned that these supernatural events might be the rumblings of some sort of uprising or invasion from unknown forces--right now X needs people on the ground to investigate and be plausible deniability should anything untoward occur.
- Reverend Yates- A priest from The Holy City of Charleston who is fearful after a number of exorcists sent to purge the spirits have instead vanished or killed by something beyond mortal ken. Yates is concerned that the rise in supernatural activity is a sign that his flock have been led astray by something sinister prowling the Sea Islands
- Doc Possum- A root doctor and local, her ancestors have been been a part of the Sea Islands since before The First Founding-- what the idealized written records have forgotten, the oral tradition of the Gullah Geechee have remembered. Possum knows that some sort of evil witchery is at play here, angering the spirits that she and her fellows have long worked to keep at bay. Her first and foremost concern is for the people of the Islands and their safety.
Expectations
We're still deciding on the rules here. Might use a prototype system based on the Ghost Wax Podcast, might use the Backbone system originally developed for Backwater, CoC, or might use something else entirely. We're mostly interested in doing something light and focused more on playing out the scenario over mechanics.
Characters are expected to have approximately the sort of know-how that a late 19th century American might with the exception that late 21st century ruins have provided occasional Technological Marvels (and Horrors.) You likely have no idea what a computer is, much less how to use one, but you may have heard that the butler at the Beauregard estate is rumored to be a Machine Man. You've never held a weapon more advanced than a 1887 Winchester rifle, but your great grandmother said she once saw a man turned to dust after being shot with a "queer bright light."
One way or another, however, you are a professional at dealing with...problems. Maybe you are a professional soldier or a paid mercenary, a priest from one of the New or Old Religions, a doctor with their trusty bone-saw and whiskey , an "inventor" rediscovering what the Old World took for granted, a hunter whose trophies include two headed alligators and a set of rougarou teeth , or perhaps an occultist versed in one of the many facets of the supernatural.
The Wards (what's left of the American states, reorganized into larger, less densely populated regions) are largely self governed, though nominally unified from the Capital at Providence-- the mysterious blasted ruins of Washington DC exist only as a source of fear and rumor or as a sacred lost holy land for the delusional Cult of the Founders. You don't need to know much about the state of the world beyond the local Backwater ward to play-- a place of feuding old families, pirates, and religion still hold sway while the rest of us just try to get on with our lives.

Ruins of Sol
The year is 2271, and humanity has colonized the solar system to escape the hellhole that is Earth. For most people, there's only one way to get out: sell themselves into employment with the Starlynx corporation. Whatever your reasons- escape to the stars, evade the law, naively believing Starlynx's propaganda, or simply because you wanted something different to do- you signed a contract, and now find yourself shouldering an ever-growing mountain of debt. The only way you can pay it off is by salvaging valuable Pokemon and items from the ruined spaceships, space stations, and even asteroids that are hauled into your salvage yard. There's no way back, and only one way out. Now don your spacesuit, quick- you're on the clock now.

Electric Odyssey
For centuries, possibly millennia, the Caretakers meticulously tended to their idyllic garden - a manufactured paradise for their creators, now subdued and passive after generations of mechanical contentment. As they expanded into the vastness of space, seeking new resources and planets to cultivate, they encountered various primitive civilizations. Initially choosing to observe from afar, this approach changed forever when they came face to face with a powerful and hostile intelligence first known only as the great other.
This singular entity, with organic automatons and a disregard for other life, clashed with the Caretakers' core identity, forcing them to abandon their policy of non-interference in order to protect all species from annihilation. Thus began a cosmic conflict between the two rival intellects, each vying for control over space and its inhabitants. The Caretakers aimed to preserve all intelligent life by integrating them into their planned paradises, while the great other viewed them merely as resources to fuel the machine of war.
The assimilation of these new species proved challenging, as dozens of contrasting cultures and physiologies were forced into square holes intended only for the creators. As conflict arose from within, the frontlines of the war went back and forth across known space, causing the system to malfunction and break down. Once-thriving planets were abandoned by the Caretakers, their populations left to fend for themselves as the enemy ravaged their worlds. And for those who grew weary of artificial bliss, the siren call of freedom began to ring.
After centuries of conflict, the galaxy now comprises several distinct regions: the Caretakers' stale core worlds abundant with resources and security, the hive's depleted core worlds where scientific experimentation on docile livestock is the norm, the tumultuous grey zone shaped by ongoing warfare, and the far-flung territories where refugees and freedom seekers carve out their own societies based on new and ancient customs preserved from the intentions of the Caretakers and the hive...

wastelands. According to legend, water once sprung forth from this spire,
blessing the land with life.
Now, the land is dry, the ancient site in ruins, and a wondrous waterclock
is stagnant. This stagnation infuses all beings, from the strange cultists on
the surface to the former elemental guardians.
It is up to the adventurers to defeat the ancient evils within Rultmoork,
restore the waterclock, and bring life back to the land.
CAMPAIGN FEATURES

A WORD OF WARNING
Rultmoork is a challenging and deadly adventure intended for veteran players.
Only the truly skilled and fearless should dare venture into this place.
GAMEPLAY DETAILS
Theme: Complex Fantasy
Campaign World: Midgard (Kobold Press)
Starting Level: 5th
Ending Level: 10thWelcome friends to Rultmoork. I would like to lay out my expectations up front.
- Expect your actions to have consequences. Don't be stupid. Play smart. If I give you lots of hints that opening the box will unleash fiery death. Don't open the box and expect to live. Rultmoork is an incredibly challenging adventure designed for the veteran player. It will take all your wits to survive.
- I'm a storyteller, the rule of cool applies. If it's cool, cinematic and epic, screw the rules- I'll probably allow it. If this grates against your rules lawyer soul...we are not meant to play together. I also allow a lot of Kobold Press 3rd party material to give my players more options than what is allotted by the base 5e system.
-
Unless I tell you otherwise... assume you can play with all the beautiful scenery to help craft the story. I expect each of you create interesting scenes, don't just walk into a room, roll the dice, and ask what you found. Tell me what you are saying, and doing, and what your ultimate goal is. If I need a dice roll, I will ask for one.

Surviving the Black Tide (SWADE)
In the quaint coastal town of Deltaville, nestled along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, players find themselves thrust into a harrowing struggle for survival as the "Zombie Flu" pandemic wreaks havoc on humanity. Cut off from the outside world, this tight-knit community must band together to withstand the relentless onslaught of the infected.
As survivors, players must navigate the narrow streets and picturesque waterfront of Deltaville, once a peaceful haven now overrun by the undead. With resources dwindling and danger lurking around every corner, they must scavenge for supplies, fortify their makeshift shelters, and fend off attacks from both the infected and rival survivor groups vying for control.
Amidst the serene beauty of the bay, players must confront the grim reality of their new existence, forging alliances, making difficult choices, and confronting their deepest fears as they fight to stay alive in a world plunged into darkness. In Deltaville, survival is not just a goal but a daily struggle against overwhelming odds.
The game will be a mixture of sandbox style with some scripted scenarios. Characters can have shared backgrounds, or start out as strangers, and can even be visitors to the town prior to the apocalypse starting.
The first chapter will start on day 1 of the pandemic, the characters will not have prior knowledge.
