A power decides that Lincoln's famous words "if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said ‘the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether'" are a promise, that someone should have to fulfill and if the Civil War on Earth ends before the opportunity arises, well, the universe is full of slavers. And the most absurd people to make live up to that promise are the men of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, as portrayed in the 1989 film, Glory. And where better to dump them then your standard D&D world, one they will have no context for and which contains a system for transmigration...which they also have no context for? The power doing this may be a dick. What to expect: Mass transmigration.Technological advancement.No harems, minimal romance.Some very nerdy D&D references.Blue boxes.References to all the various abuses of slavery.A surprising amount of cannibalism? By bad guys to be clear--wasn't intended, just happened a lot. A lot of D&D monsters can both talk and eat other species, either canonically, or in games I've played.AdoptionRecruitmentFrequent references to religion, god and faith, both Christian and various D&D deities. The Christian god is not a character, nor an active participant in any of this, to be clear, but faith was a major component of both the film Glory and the characterization of most/all of the characters.Levelling upSome moderately archaic language--I will not be following Glory's pattern of free and frequent use of slurs, but common polite terms will be used.A weekly update scheduleA level of realism in the attempt to bootstrap advancement that can best be described as 'I read the wikipedia article, if I could figure out what to search for.'Slavers getting shot.NOTE: This is based on the film Glory, I've added in stuff from real people involved with the 54th where needed, or where it doesn't contradict anything seen in the film, but this is based on the film canon, not real world canon. This is based on the D&D Fifth Edition ruleset, because its the one I know best, but is not set in Toril or any of the main D&D settings, as trying to fit in what I was looking for got too difficult, too quickly as those universes tend to simultaneously be too empty to have much to hang things on when you aren't following a questline and too full to just draw a big box around an area and say 'this is what's happening here' without contradicting something said somewhere else. I've somewhat simplified the Fifth Edition stuff, both to avoid direct copying and to simplify matters as rolling dice is real hard to make interesting in prose, so we're skipping it.
