"Hmm... what's that?"
"Don't know. It just showed up one night."
"Hey... hold on- we can make some good money by doing this stuff!"
The board first appeared inside Starfall Academy. Then, in the slums of Achyon. Shadowmire. Osrona. Moxtli. One by one, these mysterious bounty boards, all linked to each other, were placed up in every settlement and popular gathering spot, offering promises of great wealth and prosperity. People were questioned, and investigations were launched, but at the end of it all, no one seemed to be able to find the people who lead this organization.
Eventually, the streets called them the Benefactors.
With promises of great wealth and adventure, the Benefactors have sparked the flare of adventuring in Esshar. Citizens come to an agent with their problem, and they find that it's resolved rather quickly in exchange for something of value. Wealthy individuals get other people to do their work for them. And adventurers, young and old, experienced and green, come together to create the next big boom in the economy.
Thus marks a new era! Come one, come all, to the Golden Age of Adventuring!
RULES
1. These are a series of 'available on demand' events that are distributed with the intention of giving myself (and other DMs who may want to participate) the opportunity to give people things to do! The events are pre-planned, pre-approved, and posted, scaling to various difficulties so that anyone of any RPL can find something that they may want to do!2. Parties must be pre-organized. While these events can be attempted solo, they're scaled to a difficulty class, which means that if you intend on doing so, please do so with caution!
3. All information about the quest that may contribute to length/difficulty will be made visible. Though, it is possible for secret encounters to occur, as well.
4. While drop-rewards exist, it is generally agreed upon that the only thing that is guaranteed on the event is the rewards that are provided at the bottom of the listing. This also means that if you bring more people than there are rewards, loot will NOT be provided for everyone.
5. After a participant request is placed in response to a post, the DM will accept the party of their choosing, and proceed with the event.
6. ICly, all quests are submitted through an agent of the Benefactors, and all quests are accepted from a bounty board in your respective settlement. They can be found in different places throughout your respective city.
DM RULES
1. Before posting your listing, ensure that your event plan has already been approved! When listing loot, ensure that you list any possible drop rewards and the rewards the party receives upon submitting the quest.
2. Listings should be updated to indicate their acceptance as soon as you've gotten the details down. Do this to ensure there's no confusion as to what's available and what isn't.
3. Are you a new DM? Good!! If you want to post a listing to practice DMing, then feel free! Think of this as a training ground for you so that you can pick up better and better events!
4. All quests that do not have a submission tag (as in you don't really care who submitted it/it isn't important) can be marked as being requested by the Benefactors.
5. Any DM can participate in the bounty board! Bring your ideas! Bring your wild antagonist ideas, bring your new icons, bring your new props! No prior experience needed!
6. Remember to include any relevant information- your time zone, your contact information, etc., in your listing!
7. If you're an experienced DM, or just find that the template below doesn't fit your style, feel free to alter it! After all, there is more than one Benefactor.
8. The Benefactors are an unknown group. Think of them like the IC representation of us DMs. As such, feel free to make your own Benefactor OC.
9. The pre-requisite section is where anything that the party might need to attempt the hunt goes. This can include things like bait, specific tools, so-on! This is not required- just something that may serve as a barrier for parties wanting to challenge a particularly rewarding/challenging bounty!
Provided below are templates for bounty listings, and templates for participants.
DMs do not have to follow the bounty listings. Participants do, unless a listing says otherwise.
