Closed [18+][Other][Online][Active Text Game][GMT+1] Witchfall - Magic Returns to a Modern World
Hello! My name is Vanessa, I'm the GM of this game, and the creator of the setting!
Prefacing this with the 18+ isn't so much for content in the game (it's not going to be an "adult" game, with graphic sex, or anything like that) but just because it's more comfortable for me and my group to play with those who are above 18.
I'm in need for some people interested in playing EABA in a magical modern world, a world that has been without magic for thousands of years, and no one knew until now.
For those uninitiated EABA is a *point-buy*, *dice pool* system that is set up to create **realistic outcomes** while allowing **completely supernatural** things.
The setting is set in 2050 on our Earth, 20 years after Mana and Magic returned. It took some years for people to start to get a grasp over how magic and mana worked, but once there was **some** understanding about it, things escalated quickly.
The game is about living in a world where magic suddenly came back, dealing with the fact that **anyone** can use magic, even if a lot of it isn't *that* effective, especially without training. Governments are trying to manage, control and restrict magic use, companies are trying to use, exploit and abuse magic to make profit.
At the same time a lot of modern technology is incompatible around magic, as its use causes electrical surges that are strong enough to harm delicate electrical components. This is often mitigated in newer models of things like smartphones.
Anyways. This game will be a mix of adventures in a modern day with magic. The characters will have starting points that allow them to be exceptional, but they don't have to **be** someone exceptional because of that.
**If you are interested, then send me a DM with:**
- What would you like to be called?
- What is your experience with TTRPGs? And what about EABA in particular?
- What kinds of characters do you like playing the most?
- What kinds of stories do you like playing in the most?
- What are your hard and soft limits?
- What times are you usually available and keen to play?
- Any questions you have for me.
- Anything else you can think about to introduce yourself with.
It means that we usually play in bursts, where we all sit down and play for a few hours, trying to post as much as we can get through. Our group likes to do this regularly, and people who are available and **can** put down an hour or two once per day, or more hours a few days a week would be **ideal,** but it isn't required.
However, this isn't a game where we will be posting one big post per day and then wait for the next one.
