Las Vegas, Nevada...2015 (bcuz everybody does New York these days, let's switch it up a little bit, huh?)...also known as Sin City. The home of the gambling hell, is also home to the average Joes like you and me as well as the glamorous showgirls and the shady gambling dens run by mobsters. And where there are people, there are nerds. Nerds who love their games. LARP, D&D, Pathfinder? You name it, people have played it.
While sometimes you may let your hair down by drinking, going out to party or other things, sometimes you let your hair down by engaging in an epic paladin vs. dragon fight with your buddies on Saturday night. Nothing wrong with that, nothing unusual...until today. In recent years, there's been a whole new game on the rise...the craze for it has been huge! Some even call it D&D on steroids, because it includes virtual reality. In addition to the classic dice rolling and cosplaying, this new game called Andoran gives you something like 3D glasses that let you see the moves you make in this fantasy world as a virtual real-time version while you play. It's been taking the RPG world by storm. What nobody knows however, is that these cool new glasses were all part of a plan.
Unlike Faerûn or Toril, Andoran is actually a real place. Yes, you heard me correctly...this is a real place. As in: it actually exists. "But OP!" I hear you cry. "It's just a game, it's not a real thing!"
Are you sure about that? Or is that what they want you to think? You ever hear of the World Tree system? Where there are multiple worlds connected by one huge, spiraling cosmic tree? Yeah, well that's actually a thing. The Norse people knew it, but their map was incomplete. Instead of nine worlds, there are several with Andoranl being one of them. Located in one of the right branches, it's a shadowy land where magic runs rampant and all the fairytales and stories told to children over the years are very, very real. Dragons, elves, wizards, even the elusive and powerful impundulu of the African myths is very real. However, this truth is only known to very few. The king of Andoran, Yavil Silverhand and his eight wizard advisors known as the King's Staff have been studying the other worlds with the intention of conquering them. While studying the Earth, our world (known as Aeartheim in their language), they discovered many role playing games modeled after worlds like their own. Using the magic of the Staff, Yavil and his wizards implanted suggestions in the minds of prominent game developers, which took a great deal of time and effort due to the interdimensional distance. They used an amplifying article called the Eye of Merlin, a gem of great magical power to focus the spell and eventually it succeeded. The glasses were enchanted with powerful magic, as were the die used in the game. After being rolled a set amount of times or on particular combination of numbers, it would open interdimensional portals. Yavil was a tyrant and he wanted to expand his empire to be as large as possible. However, since their technology is far behind modern Earth's, they need a way to access it. They need to know how to operate it, and they need to figure out a way to open enough portals to expand across the worlds.
It's possible, but very difficult. Opening that many portals could cause the very weave of reality to fray apart, but there is a ritual that can stabilize it. A ritual that requires blood. After they get the knowledge from these earthlings, they will be sacrificed to power the ritual unless they can stop that from happening.
You play as a college student attending the University of Nevada. You're also part of a small but dedicated Andoran group, some of you are newbies and some of you had been playing for the whole five years it's been out. This Saturday, you meet up to play with your buddies like you usually do, but something strange happens when you roll the die. Suddenly, you can't take your costumes off. Your wigs seem to be fused to your head...and did Midge's skin just turn red? Are those horns?! And since when was Chandler able to throw fireballs?! Somehow, all of you have become your characters. And you don't know where the hell you are, but it sure ain't Nevada anymore. How will you get back, if ever? Will you disband? Join Yavil in his quest for power? Help save Andoril? Do your own thing or focus on getting home? It's all up to you.
Okay, so the classes of this game are like this. You got the typical player classes of wizard, rogue, fighter, cleric, warlock, druid and all that because almost every RPG has these classes and they're staples, you can't improve tradition Plus I'll be doing a bit of worldbuilding for Andoran here...won't be a lot, but I do probably need to flesh out the world a bit more and I want to get everybody involved.
