Game Master Azure Poetics

Welcome to the last chunk of Existence that hasn't fallen into darkness. Saddle up, lazybones - the world's waiting for you.

Get up!

Welcome to The Last Continent, presented and run by yours truly. This is a fairly dense setting I've used in the past and that evolves a little more with each campaign set within it, so congratulations! You're helping me continue to build the world with every post.

I'll be keeping track of quite a bit of information about the campaign here in this tab, so check in regularly to see what's new. Be on the lookout for updates in the Discussion thread, too.

Table 2 is a small offshoot of the joint military tasked with tracking rogue Riftspawn attacks in the Ventoran Plateau. The environment is politically-neutral temperate grasslands between the Altruus Vale and Galshan.

Personal posting format
Character dialogue goes in bold text.

  • "Don't stray too far," Corin shouts. "We don't know what's in there!"

    Italics are for internal thoughts, titles of in-universe works, or emphasis.

  • Sergeant Rivers stares at the corpse with a sour expression. Damn - not another one. When will this madness end?

    Character Creation Rules, as outlined in the Recruitment thread

    • 3rd-level start, 20-point buy.
    • 2 traits and 1 drawback. Background skills will be used.
    • Choose from one of the following races, all of which have their stats outlined in the folder linked below: Dwarf (Rufalg), Elf (Kiranae), Half-elf, Halfling (Altruan), Human, or Kestari. Homebrew stats are liable to change as I learn more about how they balance with other races. The other races will be unavailable based on the current year, which is AC 13 by the Ralczan Calendar.
    • 3PP content is on a case-by-case basis. PM me with suggestions, but keep it in-line with the established lore.
    • Unchained Summoners only.
    • To save on bookkeeping, we'll be using the marvelous Feat Tax rules to show all you martials a little love. Enjoy!

    GM's Expectations, as outlined in the Recruitment thread

    • I'll be posting at least once every 24 hours, and I expect you to do the same. Weekends are more flexible because of RL stuff, but if you're at all familiar with how tethered I am to a computer at any given moment, you know that I'll be able to get back to your PMs or posts almost immediately.
    • If someone or something is going to keep you from posting within your regular schedule, or if you're unavailable for PbP for a while, let me know via PM or the Discussion thread ahead of time.
    • RP is supreme; it's literally in the name of the genre and this game we'll be playing. Here, it's all about the characters and the roleplay, so we'll be more focused on that than combat or dungeon-crawling (though that's always on the table for later).
    • If you're gonna play an evil or conflict-driven character, at least have the good sense to make them compelling. That's not too much to ask.
