Hello, I'm looking for 3-5 experienced players of D&D, so sorry to any beginners. I’m looking for those who like Dragon Ball, RP, and wouldn't mind rules that are heavier/crunchier than usual. You MUST be 21+ and I would prefer it if you are from a NA timezone.
Schedule
It'll take place in discord vc every Friday 5pm to 11pm CST. 5pm being the earliest we start and 11pm the latest I'm willing to run till, so it may be possible to start later or end early some session but ideally 3-5 hours of playtime is what I'm shooting for. I don't have an official start date as I want to pick the best players for the game. It’s hard to give an estimate to how long this game will go on for but I expect it to be a long-term campaign.
Expectations
It goes without saying that basic manners and engaging with the game sincerely are expected, but for me the biggest thing is communication. What I mean by that is tell me what you liked, didn't like, want to see more of, see less of, and especially if you're not going to be able to attend the session or not or if you're just straight up not happy with the game. Failing this as well as any other basic manners will warrant you getting kicked from the game pretty quickly.
System and Homebrew
The majority of the homebrew and system are built on 2014 rules but I will defer to 2024 if the ruling is more concise or simply better. I expect the players to all be the same class, which is the Martial Artist class, but this allows the player to easily steer it in whatever direction they want. We will be using roll20 for combat, rolls, and character sheets. There will be a lot to learn but we will go over it as a group. The homebrew module can be found
Log in to view. Certain races and options will not be allowed but I will go over that in detail once in game.
Tone
Starting out things will be more focused on a somewhat grounded adventure like DB was starting out and after sometime will transition into higher stakes like in DBZ. I'm hoping to keep things within the spirit of Dragon Ball so quite relaxed at times with intentionally funny bits that can easily be reversed into serious, life threatening, heroic moments. However, role play is taken very seriously, so what you say and do isn't taken lightly. Even if the silly moments happen the people within them do not treat their lives as a joke. I will not accept any joke characters, overly dramatic, or brooding/edgy characters. I expect the player characters to be mostly heroic or even morally gray. This is all expected because it helps keep things lighthearted yet emotionally grounded.
Setting
The campaign takes place on Earth in the year 1000, a new millennium is here, and along with it the 100th World Martial Arts Tournament. It is centuries past the era of the Z-Fighters but their effects are still rippling throughout the universe. Martial arts, ki control, sciences, and magic are widely understood and studied by many, if not all. Say Goku on the last question in the application to prove to me you’ve read the post. The Dragon Balls still play a major role for many people and worlds. It is even the grand prize for whoever wins the tournament! It has led to the reshaping and growth of many worlds and races once thought lost or nearing extinction. This does not mean that the road ahead has already been walked, in fact, there is not only an entire world but a universe to explore!
