With the sudden death of Aroden - the coming of the Year of Disillusionment of the Prophecy - the place once known as Sarcoris was gradually swallowed up by the fissures of the abyss, and eventually turned into a paradise for monsters in the abyss.
They have occupied this land for nearly a century. Countless evil monsters roam this blood-red wasteland, destroying everything they see and leaving endless death and silence behind them.
In the past hundred years, Montivi launched four great expeditions, but the results were more unsuccessful each time, and even almost led to the split of the expeditionary force.
The defeat of the fourth expedition was imminent. The morale of this kind army was now so low that it could not be saved, and an atmosphere of despair enveloped Cannabry.
Cultists and traitors are dancing on the news, and demons are ready to move outside the boundaries of the Guardian Stone, waiting for the day to trample on the promise of the Holy City.
However, no matter how deep the darkness is, there is always a little hope left... This little spark of hope will eventually grow stronger and eventually turn into a sky-burning fire that wipes out all evil.
Come on, pick up the sword! Hero of the expeditionary force! Your enemy is in the abyss! Let your roar resound throughout the world at this moment, and let your righteous anger burn everything!
"It's quite lively, but now, what should I do? It's a headache." As a person who likes quiet, Lin Yun doesn't like noisy environments very much, but at this moment.
The place he was in was a square made of retro-style stone bricks. There were some bards playing various musical instruments there, which made Lin Yun feel like a group of demons dancing around.
In addition, there are at least a thousand people gathered around, and they are basically wearing clothes similar to the ancient Western European style. Some of them are luxurious clothes, some look rough, and of course, most of them are wearing various kinds of clothes.
All kinds of armor, either leather armor, mail armor, or full body armor.
It can be said to be fully armed.
Although most of them were wearing slightly festive clothes outside, they still looked murderous and depressive.
It was obviously a celebration, but when Lin Yun looked around, he felt like he was forcing a smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a touch of depression and gloom.
For those who don’t know, they might think it’s a large-scale medieval cosplay scene.
The chirping sound made Lin Yun feel like he had a splitting headache.
Suddenly there was a scream.
Lin Yun turned his head subconsciously... Good guy, I saw him in such a large public.
A guy holding a giant ax and wearing leather armor, but...not wearing any pants, appeared there.
Lin Yun subconsciously covered his head.
Obviously, this guy should also be a player, with the same identity as him.
It's just that this guy probably only knows how to buy equipment, but he has forgotten that this is a real-life version of role-playing. In addition to buying equipment, he also needs to buy clothes, food, water, etc.
For example, the Strawberry Buffy now placed in front of Lin Yun.
Because in the background, he even wrote the words sitting here, eating a strawberry parfait, looking at the seemingly prosperous scene around him with a depressed expression.
So as soon as he came in, he immediately had a strawberry parfait. Of course, the 3 copper coins that should be deducted were still required.
Apart from that careless guy, I don't know how many players are here.
I don’t know if there are too many players, does that mean the difficulty is high, or it will increase the difficulty, or maybe it’s just screening.
And yes, we are players just like him.
Although these so-called players probably didn't come here voluntarily.
He wasn't supposed to appear here, but fate, or should I say it was his helplessness, a big ball of light from a self-proclaimed ruthless running robot made him appear here.
As a board game store owner and part-time novelist, today, he should have closed the door of his board game store and gone home to write a novel.
But the moment he closed the gate, the door to a new world opened.
Let’s call it the door to the new world.
When Lin Yun reacted, he had already appeared in a dark space, and then this big ball of light, which was the master god of the next space, told him directly.
"Welcome to the pioneer space." An emotionless, very literal voice appeared directly in his mind.
As a novelist, don't panic when facing anything, because panic is useless. No matter how exaggerated the plot is, he may have experienced it countless times in his mind.
So he said very calmly and directly, "Can you tell me what this space is?"
There was no response from this big ball of light.
But then, a large amount of information poured directly into Lin Yun's brain.
Good guy, it’s really convenient and hassle-free, it goes directly into the brain.
Ah, it feels like it's going to explode or burst, it's not going to work anymore.
Ahem, after being dizzy for a while, Lin Yun shook his head slightly.
I closed my eyes and sorted out the information I got, and then I concluded that...
This space is somewhat similar to the real-life version of the Trailblazer game among trpg group running games.
The so-called trpg can be understood as a desktop role-playing game, commonly known as group running.
It means a way to play the game by creating a character on the desktop and then playing the character according to its character setting.
By switching between different maps, or should I say different modules, you can play the role you created, and then experience different adventures and different lives.
This is a pioneer. Of course, Lin Yun is more accustomed to calling him PF.
Pioneer is a more typical and special game method among this type of tabletop games.
Strictly speaking, PF belongs to the DND system, which is a trpg game such as "Dungeons and Dragons" that is more famous in the West and is more traditional, involving various Western fantasy legends.
Because it is based on the 3.5 version of dnd, it is a semi-new but not old rule, so PF is also jokingly called the dnd 3.75 version.
The core experience of this system is [Myth]. Although the initial strength of the character is close to that of a normal person, as it gradually strengthens, warriors can split monsters as big as mountains, mages can manipulate time and space, and barbarians can jump from the stratosphere.
Even half of the health points cannot be deducted.
One person fights a city, and the strong one can defeat the country.
But the price of this is that the rules are relatively complex, with hundreds of expansion books and various related details. Although there are some quick ways to get started, the time required to really understand and master it is calculated in hundreds of hours.
.
Moreover, the so-called strong man must be at least level 11, but now he is only level 1.
However, Lin Yun just opened a board game store because he was interested in this game.
However, it is different from most board game stores that just play cards, landlords, and chess.
Lin Yun's board game store specializes in playing this game, although most of the time you can only play the dnd5e version.
There is no way, PF is too complicated, and if there are veterans and big guys stacking up and using the superposition of abilities in the rules, the data will be easily expanded, which is too unfriendly for newbies.
The most classic situation is when a newbie watches his character deal more than 20 points of damage and can only move once in a round.
The boss has already used several abilities, and then does more than 80 damage at once, which can easily have a devastating impact on the newbie.
Of course, there are also guys like Lin Yun who started PF after seeing such a devastating impact.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat it, join it.jpg
In short, the simple and easy-to-understand dnd5e is the most suitable for newbies to get started.
Lin Yun started playing with this version of dnd5e. Finally, under the recommendation of some seniors and a wave of baptisms, he directly started playing the more exciting and flexible PF.
However, although he was relatively familiar with it, Lin Yun still read it very carefully and remembered what he got in his mind.
There is no way, although in most cases, running groups have fixed rule books.
But in most cases, some rule adjustments will be made based on the dm, which is the dungeon master, or the host that translates to the GM. Of course, most of them are modifications to the module, and even demonization.
In order to take care of novices, most of the modules are actually of basic difficulty.
Therefore, understanding the house rules of each DM is a top priority.
Because this might save your life.
Especially now.
A complete and detailed background and character setting are very important.
At least Lin Yun now, with his rather sultry image, looks very natural here, and can even eat Strawberry Buffy.
By the way, if there is a fight later, eating something cold and then exercising should not cause stomach upset.
She has short silver-white hair, blue gem-like eyes, and fair skin, which makes her look like she has delicate skin and tender flesh.
A face that is both handsome and ruffian.
I shook my muscles a little, they were very strong.
He was wearing a large red windbreaker, with black ceremonial armor underneath. The main body was made of black leather, with a few metal bars in the middle blocking important positions. He was wearing red leather pants.
It looks a little bit arrogant.
Coupled with a slightly mighty-looking sword on the back, with a skull, 1.3 meters long and 0.1 meters wide, it looks a bit like that.
Yes, a very familiar image.
Yes, it's Leon the vehicle killer, oh no, it's Dante the demon hunter.
Because Lin Yun is not sure whether he will go back to his original world and be recognized by others, and then target him.
So Lin Yun simply changed his appearance and even his name.
Considering that there might be some prophecies, or even a curse on the name.
Therefore, Lin Yun uses Dante's name as his superficial name in the setting, but his actual name is Tony Stark, Leon Redgrave, Kennedy, Spartan, Darklane, and Enkidu.
Such a strange name as Dominique Chris.
Anyway, according to the custom here, if someone in the ancestors has such a name, they can be stacked up like matryoshka dolls.
This is called stacking buffs.
In this way, even if it is detected, it will only be thought that there is something wrong, because it will always look unclear, full of complaints, and very confusing.
Among them, Tony Redgrave is the name of the prototype Dante as a mercenary, then Leon Kennedy is the prototype name of the prototype Dante, and Sparta is the name of the prototype Dante's father.
Anyway, it looks like the same thing, but in fact it feels very confusing.
