Ok, what do I mean by "I like to keep my games PG-rated". For language, I will generally stick to fantasy swears 'Orc's Blood', 'Goblin Piss', and the like. Sexual content, anything explicit would be off-screen. Violence and Gore, I am probably closer to PG-13, think Marvel Movies. D&D has a lot of combat after all. Bones will break, blood will spatter. If there is something truly gruesome and horrific, I will just tell you that it is, but not go into detail about how or why. Here is an example of what you can expect, where a couple of guards accidentally blew themselves up while destroying a brige. For my players, I don't hold you to the same standard of what I write. So long as you are within site guidelines, and the players at the table are comfortable with the content, I won't punish you for it. Hopefully that helps! Feel free to ask any further questions if you need clarification.

Shared worldbuilding, huh... ? If Willowrest/The Opal Guard were to engage in an exchange (I.e. an exchange program) where would those soldiers come from?

I'll note, both Kindgoms try to avoid sending troops directly to Willowrest. They fear that doing so might anger the Dragon. It's a legend that tends to keep the area safe from outside influence (think of like how Dracula's reputation worked to keep invaders away)

The official game folder is now linked in the OP. I am working on more the World Building thread there (planning still on getting a map up of the region, and info on some of the important local families, including the Duke and Baron). First up though, since it has come up here and in PMs, is an explanation of the Pantheon of the region.

Once a week sounds like about what I can manage right now with my work schedule, and I really want an excuse to play around with the 2024 rules, so I'll throw my hat in the ring.
Two questions: 1. What's the religious situation in Willowrest like? Is there a particular deity or pantheon that's widely worshipped? Is there one main church or temple, or are there multiple religious institutions? Do you have a strong idea of how that looks, or is that something you'd want me to flesh out in my backstory if I were to create a cleric? 2. I had a character idea that kind of jumped out at me in reading the background info, but I wanted to run it by you first before fully fleshing it out, since it ties in pretty closely to your NPCs. Specifically, I was thinking about playing the rebellious daughter of one or the other of the two rival noblemen. Willful and idealistic, she rebels against her calculating and ambitious father - first by taking her vows as an acolyte in Willowrest's church/temple/whatever (which handily ruins her father's chances of marrying her off for political advantage), and then, just to rub it in, by joining up with the Opal Guard and committing her loyalties to Willowrest itself, rather than her father's patron kingdom. (For extra funsies, I was also mulling over the idea of a relationship between her and the son of the other rival nobleman - maybe friends, maybe rivals, maybe a Romeo and Juliet thing, depending on what he's like.) Would that work, or does that step on ideas and worldbuilding you already had? |

I noticed Kobolds were mentioned. Would it be possible to make a kobold PC? I have an odd desire to create a variation of an old kobold character I once had. I'd make the character a cleric/healer as nobody likes to play that class, but it's very very necessary for a group to have at least one. There could an assorted of reasons why the kobold would move to Willowrest. If not, I could just play a human cleric.

I'll give that a thorough read before fleshing out the character. Quote:

She's still largely pacifistic, but understands destruction is a neccesary component to bring order. She would just rather "destroy" an opponent through diplomacy and compassion. If you turn an enemy into a friend, have you not destroyed the enemy? And created an opportunity for balance. Quote:

I'm sorry, I didn't see that you were interested in playing a cleric. I can play something else instead, Cleric was the first thing that popped into my head for this idea, but I could do a lot of other things instead - I was mostly just doing that so that there'd be a healer. As long as it's got the "committing to something that makes it inconvenient for Dad to just order her back home" element, it works - and joining the Opal Guard does that all by itself. Maybe a paladin... or I might just do a fighter; I play a lot of fighters, but I'm eager to mess around with their upgrade in the 2024 version... we'll see. |

I don't see anything wrong with having a party full of only Clerics.
On another note, if you don't have the full 2024 PHB, there are limited resources available in the D&D Free Rules (2024) If you are using those, please stick to the content available there.

I wasn't that attached to cleric anyway; this gives me the excuse to explore something else.
