READ THE LORE
Alright, buckle up for a crucial bit! Our original idea was to create a game where we could all dive into a rich world bursting with lore. We're not just talking about us — our awesome players have poured their hearts into it too. So, grab a comfy spot and take some time to explore the Compendium. Get to know the ins and outs of Ávra, its cultures, and the fantastic folks living there. Don't stress about reading every single page; we get it, life's busy! Focus on the essentials: major places and key people. That way, you'll be all set to jump into the campaign and rock it!
READ THE PLAYERS HANDBOOK
Now, let's talk game mechanics—it's just as vital as the lore to us! Our mission here is to create a gameplay system that's a blast for RPG enthusiasts of all levels. We're in constant tweaking mode, working to perfect it with each session, so it's crucial for you to be in the know about the rules and gameplay before jumping into a session.
Keep an eye on the players' handbook; we might sprinkle in some changes now and then (we'll shout it out on our Discord server, so no one's left in the dark). Understanding the gameplay not only helps you decide if you want to hop into our game but also makes you a crucial part of our ongoing refinement process.
Sure, our system isn't flawless yet, but that's why we're building it through live gameplay sessions—perfecting it with each exciting playtest. So, join us, bring your enthusiasm, and let's make this system sing together!
CREATE A CHARACTER
Let's dive into the thrilling world of character creation—it's one of the absolute highlights for many players! We're stoked for you to craft a character that truly embodies who and what you want to play. However, to keep the good vibes flowing for everyone, let's lay down some ground rules:
- No Meta-Gaming: When crafting your character, make sure everything in their lore and history aligns with who they are. Think about where they come from, who they're related to, and all the nitty-gritty details that make them tick.
- Avoid Gary-Stue/Mary-Sue Characters: We're not looking for infallible superhumans here. A solid character has flaws, and it's how they navigate those imperfections that sets the stage for awesome storytelling. Remember, storytelling is a big part of why we're all here.
- Respect the Lore: If a country already has a king, sorry, you can't be the king. Take a stroll through the lore, get acquainted with it, and let it guide you as you build your character's story.
- Got a Lore Change in Mind? Ask! If you're itching to tweak or retcon some lore, hit us up! Reach out to a Moderator or the Owner on Discord, discuss your idea, and you might just get the green light. But keep in mind, final say rests with the Mods and the Owner.
- Go Deep and Complete: There's a dedicated section on character creation later in this handbook, but here's the gist: take your time, start from scratch, and enjoy the process. The more details you weave into your character, the more epic your journey in Ávra will be.
So, let your creativity run wild, and let's make your character as vibrant and unique as possible!
