This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, business, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
Merchant Guild is a roleplaying group with fantasy elements and adventures revolving around the lives of the merchants surviving the world under a length war of conquests. ​There are harsh elements in the world that may affect the merchants. As such, dark themes may be mentioned and play a role within the plot. Despite harsh elements, the group will also have casual adventures and fun events outside the plot for everyone to enjoy.
​
The group uses DnD elements to determine strengths, weaknesses and outcomes of actions. These elements include stats, features, and rolls. Knowledge of DnD is not required as instructions will be given beforehand.
The group is semi-private. Majority of its members are invite-only. The group will open limited slots to the public periodically. The group only has a small number of member slots as it provides easier management and more opportunities for bonding experiences between members.
​
The group is inspired from video games Genshin Impact, Tales of series and Atelier series.
​
Expectations:
-
The group is expected to be member-driven. Most activities, excluding Chapters events, can be done by the members themselves such as pointing, trading, ranking up, and many more.
-
We are not expecting to be Combat-Driven, but we rely on DnD elements - such as stats and rolls to determine outcomes of actions. These actions are not necessarily combat.
-
Permadeath is possible. Characters that are much stronger than merchants exist. Dangerous events are possible. Please proceed with caution within the limits of your profession as a merchant.​
