Willkommen zu Monarchies of Mau,
analog zu [board=viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1023]Cutty Framm's Die Schwarze Katze[/board] möchte ich zum Testen gerne ein One Shot für dieses stark an D&D angelehnte Pen and Paper System abhalten.
Ich würde gerne 1 oder 2 Sessions machen.
Die Geschichte
ZitatCats have inherited the world, unifying their six fractious monarchies after untold centuries. These cats have been uplifted to use tools and language, and they seek to rediscover the ruins of the Old Ones. Some have learned to use the leftover technology of humanity, but they believe it to be magic given to them by their lost worshippers. Others seek to create a cohesive nation, using Precepts of Mau agreed to after years of political conflict. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but the instincts of a good cat will always be true.

Countless centuries have turned since we disappeared. The cities we know have long since crumbled to dust. Highways and railroads are buried beneath the rocks of new mountains, the sands of new deserts, and the roots of new forests. The occasional ruin remains as a strange reminder of our legacy, perhaps as a not-yet-decayed building or incomprehensible piece of technology. Nature has reclaimed the earth. Those who remain — our constant companions — seek to reclaim our legacy by exploring our past and building their future.
Monarchies of Mau is a fantasy game set in the ancient future with intelligent, evolved cats as the main characters. The cats live within six city-states recently united under one leader in the hopes of putting aside their differences to build something stronger, something better, together. They seek out evidence of the Old Ones (also known as “Man”) to discover what they did right, what they did wrong, and what those who remain can use to build their society up in a strange new world. Other animals seek to answer the same questions in their own way, like the dogs of the kingdom of Pugmire or the mice and rats scattered throughout both lands. Regardless of their differences, all the species agree that there was a world before this one: a world filled with danger, wonder, and mystery.
Cats built their kingdoms, explored the world around them, and salvaged what they could from the relics of Man. They considered the Old Ones to be loyal servants whom their feline ancestors rewarded with great power and responsibility, and the cats seek to honor that service to this day. The artifacts cats uncover are viewed as prizes carelessly left behind by powerful retainers. These gifts manifest as magic items, enchantments, and spells. We might recognize these pieces of sufficiently advanced technology that the cats are unable to distinguish from magic, but we are no longer there to explain the difference.
Welcome to a world where cats sneak through ancient hallways seeking out lost artifacts while confronting strange creatures made from hideous flesh, magical technology... or both. Welcome to a world where long-standing rivalries threaten to doom a country united under a ruler that can no longer hold the alliance together now that she has passed on to her next life.
Welcome to a world where heroes always strive to do what is best, but must always choose between what’s best for them and what’s best for everybody.

Spielbetrieb
Meine Art Spiele zu leiten würde ich als humoristisch Ernsthaft bezeichnen. Konsistenz und Glaubwürdigkeit sind mir sehr wichtig. Ich bevorzuge Lösungen durch Rollenspiel anstatt geschicktes Ausnutzen der Spielmechanik. Ich suche nach Entspannung und Unterhaltung während der Rollenspielrunden. Es wird '90 Jahre Brutal - Köpfe Rollen und Blut überall aber ohne Details. Sexualität wird auf Disney Level Innuendos beschränkt. Charaktere meiner Welt haben Charakteristiken aller Sexualitäten, Politischer und Sozialer Anschauungen, passend zu den Beschreibungen ihrer Rassen, Herkunft und Standort. Ich bin der Überzeugung das Spaß haben sich nicht nur auf Glückliche Themen beschränkt.
Ich möchte Mitspielen!
Bitte melde dich hier im Beitrag oder auf Discord bei [mention]ka_jan[/mention] wegen einem Termin. Wenn du mit Freunden kommst kann ich auch gern eine eigene Runde zum Schnuppern machen.
Ich freue mich auf euer kommen!
