[D&D-5e] Fear in the Dreamlands

[Alemar]

W.i.P. Name: Trevor Bellock Age: 16 Class: Druid Species: Goliath (Hill Giant) Character Description: Trevor's parents were "middle class" You know the type, parents that would happily send their little boy off to summer camp for a couple of weeks each year... Then worry the other 11 months about how they were going to afford to send their little boy off to summer camp for a couple of weeks every year? Still, he was thankful to them for trying, and never truly wanted for anything. He had toys, an older but still working TV in his bedroom, and a game console that was a Christmas present everyone had pitched in for... He had everything to make himself happy. And the books! What he couldn't do, or experience firsthand for himself, he could read about. He could pick up a travel magazine and see the pictures of the black sand beaches of Iceland, day-dreaming of the many conquests he would go on in Odin's name. Or view the Ruins of ancient Mayan temples in Central America, seeing the intricate stonework carvings that allowed for the serpent statues to slither through the shadows and climb the pyramids themselves. It was a curious fascination with Trevor; How society, no matter where they were from, had construed their own myths about what had come before. And how if you did the right things, said the right magic words, you could harness that power for yourself to change your stars! When Trevor sleeps, he feels tall, almost Giant... As if nothing would dare stop him. And he also feels a self-confidence, and bravery. There is power locked away within him, he knows this. And he also knows that if he can somehow learn to harness it, truly remarkable things can be accomplished within the land of dreams. your Ad didn't request a background, but I'm happy to include it... It's growing late, so I'll come back and see if there's anything I'd like to add tomorrow.

I see Mary being a daddy's girl. Her mother who was in the military, died during a rather intense battle overseas. Mary considered her to be very tough and a hero. I see her taking this idea when becoming the half orc warrior.

Mary cannot tie her tie. People will sometimes try to help. Note, she does not may eye contact!

Application Name: Ichabod Rodhri Persona: Brutus Age: 15 Class: Graviturgy Wizard Weapons: simple weapons Skills: Choose 2: Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, or Religion. Species: Warforged Background: Acolyte Ability Scores: Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma Feat: Magic Initiate (Cleric)- guidance, mending, sanctuary Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Religion Tool Proficiency: Calligrapher's Supplies Description: "Icky" is a the middle child of five. He comes from a religious household, and is used to being overlooked. After being the victim of a hit-and-run, his parents brought him to a faith healer. Predictably, it didn't work, and he was written off as having weak faith, and thus unworthy of healing. He's been spending his time in the library, reading the sorts of books his parents would hate to hear he was reading, and imagining himself in various scifi and fantasy settings. His favorite was a mental image of himself as a robot, or a golem. Something that could take any amount of damage, but was easily repaired.

All very cool characters so far!

I have a pretty good road map as to how major events will progress, but I'll allow players to pick which Major Arcana cards to go after from the beginning and scale encounters.

The Death card signals that one major phase in your life is ending, and a new one is going to start. You just need to close one door, so the new one will open. The past needs to be placed behind you, so you can focus your energy on what is ahead of you.

Gives the GM more flexibility. Of course, if we are annoying and deserve to be killed . . .

oh I knew what it actually meant... I just rarely get to do yugi-oh memes

[penbeast0]

Watches the reference fly way over his head like a UFO. (I do have a vague idea what Yu Gi Oh means)

[SoftEmbers]

I like the trap card reference. (Former Yugioh player here.)

I personally preferred MTG, I used to play with friends during our lunch hours at school... Black/Green was my preferred deck but I also had a White/Red

My buddy Doug had a Blue/White that was super annoying to play against

[Tacobob]

Never played card game in my life
