It is 576 CY ⊳ The County of Sunndi, a century after rebelling against the Malachite Throne faces a brewing storm unlike any before. Chaos gnaws at the land from within—restless dead, maddened beasts, and long formed allies disappear. The Count, sensing the looming threat, summons the bravest to defend the home they fought so hard to free.
Living Chronicles! is a living campaign. You share the world with dozens of adventurers - each of which is a real player. It is the ultimate forum for collaboration.
Before we get started!
Before we get started!
I would suggest you to head on over to our game support channel and simply tag @PlayerMentor to guide you through this process, it is so much easier and faster to do this as a conversation, but if you don't mind reading, soldier on!
Let me give you the lay of the land. Playing online can be very convenient - or perhaps the only way you can play. Specially if you live in an area where the gaming spaces are far, or games far too infrequent.
There are strengths to online play - tools that make our life playing the game much easier. Allowing us to focus on the fun parts without getting lost in the sauce.
Here is a list of stuff you will need to play online:
The minimum requirements. A non-archaic computing device with browsing capabilities, a steady internet connection, and a serviceable mic. If you already use google meet or zoom, you are good to go. 👍
Tools in order of priority. Discord → D&D Beyond. If you are new to these tools we have tutorials on how to use them, in the tool tutorials section above.
Culture run-down. A code of conduct, as well as common lingo used in online communities.
Setting Information. Information about the world, on gods, the magic system, death and resurrection etc. basically answering the questions: What kind of fantasy? What is your role in the fantasy? What is the cool stuff you can do and how?
We will assume you meet the minimum requirements, and guide you step by step through the rest of the process.

3.3. Art and tokens
We do not condone the use of AI art in our server. However, there is a certain finesse and style that human art achieves that is not reproducible. We also recommend giving credit to the artist, you can do that in the character post over on our discord.
When using character art on VTTs you will need a token, you can follow this guide to quickly make one: Tokens

3.4. What does my character know?
Your character was magically teleported to Sunndi from one of the corners of the world, this happened as flames nearby you erupted and burnt you away. Feel free to create a backstory around this incident, as this is basically almost an isekai situation where you leave everything behind. This event was called the Sundering.
