Welcome everyone! Please post information on your characters, questions, and comments about my game here!
Now, to answer the first few questions:
1. You will be starting at level one.
2. Your main weapons (the weapons you need for your attacks) and armor are free, but you may not have magically imbued armor and weapons. Yet. XD A magic implement, such as a rod, counts as a weapon and will also be free.
3. You get a free adventurer's kit.
4. You will start with your basic 100 gp.
5. You may buy a mount (riding horse or camel) if you wish, but it will cost you 75 gp.
Now, you will be starting the campaign in a magically technological city called Amaranth (pronounced Am-are-ahnth), akin to the size of New York City, located in a temperate region of the globe with a major port on the west side that goes out to sea. The eastern side of the city faces out into several crossroads that run through smaller local towns connected to Amaranth between hills and (further out) mountains. It's still not by any means a modern setting. This city is a huge, important cultural and trading hub where anything can be obtained, for a price. The economy is the main driving force here and religion is generally on the back burner, although churches and temples to most of the major gods can be found scattered about. When you arrive in the city, there shall be no war going on and the city will be thriving, but thriving alongside it shall be corruption and depravity of every kind imaginable. The people who are citizens of the city are generally cynical and hardened, living off of whatever they can sell, be it wares, services, or sometimes, themselves. Most of the population seems to be in the middle class, but for those unfortunate people who were not born into the middle or high class, they will generally be found divided into two groups: those will hope and those without. Very rarely are low class citizens ever seen climbing the socio-economic ladder, despite some of their best efforts. And oddly enough, those in the high class seem to be engrossed in the idea that people of the low class belong in the dredges of society and will sometimes go out of their way to keep the government from creating any kind of assistance or relief for them.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post them here. Go ahead and get creative with your reasons for being here whilst I put everything together, too. My story will be centered on -you-, so put some good thought into what you want and how you want to interact with everyone. :3
