[Online][5e 2014][Thurs PST][30+][Diversity Friendly] “Where the Poppies Blow” homebrew Eberron campaign

In the years since the Last War, a generation has come of age in the gossamer peace of the Treaty of Thronehold. In Sharn, the City of Towers, veterans and refugees disquiet the Lower City even as the pinnacles of this metropolis mount ever more vertiginous heights. Electrifying new musical styles fill the night air while rumors of war pass between gin joints and art salons alike. In the thick, damp fog of the morning, on every terrace and skyway, enthralled crowds swig the newsies’ daily draught of scandal: city officials have tried to hide the spread of an infectious delirium dubbed the Golden Madness, an affliction even House Jorasco’s most accomplished healers are powerless to cure. Patients scrawl patterns in Written Old Draconic onto walls, floors, clothes, even into their own skin: portents of black suns and alien constellations suspected to be fragments of the Draconic Prophecy.

Hello! My name is Nik. I’m 43, queer, demigender (they/them/he/him), white, and neurodivergent. I love the collaborative elements of TTRPGs; I’ve been playing D&D for 25 years and DMed for a lot of that time.

I’m recruiting 1 to 2 RP-oriented players for a loosely planned, long-term, original campaign set in Eberron. Themes will include the looming threat of war, political intrigue, mad science, occult magic, and of course the narratives your characters add.

I am seeking players on the mature (30+) side, preferably with some prior TTRPG experience. A special invitation goes out to forever DMs, and also to women, BIPOC, or others who’ve felt like outsiders because of this hobby’s historically limited inclusion.

If you’re interested you can review the rest of my campaign frame at the link below. If it sounds good, message me with your discord ID and a couple times we can meet for a short video call to make sure we both feel confident we’ll get along. We'll be playing on Thursdays beginning in the early evening (4 to 6pm, still TBD), and we’re looking to have session zero on the 11th or 18th and start playing in January.
