Synopsis
Well met wanderer! You have stumbled upon a world weaver, a strange and rare being that draws the thread of stories from the maw of the void for your delight and entertainment. And boy do I have something for you.
Before you is a story about a world in which magic has appeared for the very first time and Atef, the protagonist is its first wielder. This LitRPG adventure will follow his path and all associated events with the aid of DICE. As a true world weaver I wanted to innovate upon the established practice of LitRPG and add a new layer to it which will shape up the story in a free-flowing manner by adding randomness. I've tied Atef's progression and future key events to dice rolls whose previews are available on Patreon a week before the new episode is out. They will be related to his magic skills, madness, secret roll, special events and many others to come.
Please note that the first 7 episodes of the story are introductory and the progression starts as of episode 8. I will post the rolls for the next week's episode and this week's episode every Friday 8 p.m. ET (which is 5 p.m. PT) and I will always strive to stick to this schedule.
Finally, please note that I am writing about a world which is going to go through a tremendous change because of what Atef has discovered, but I am also writing a story about finding oneself, growing and learning whilst fighting against problems which are both external and internal. I intend to write this story for a long time to come and I would appreciate if you could stick around and support me along the way. I have a lot of ideas for its future and I must say I am really excited and I hope you will be excited with what I am putting out as well! Expect it to be a slow burn, mixing in high stakes and side events, lots of characters and intense world building. Alas, it is a world touched by magic for the very first time! Enjoy every line, paragraph and episode of it!
The rules that I've set upon myself to consider in writing of every episode are the following:
I will mostly be using 5 d20 dice which provide me with a range from 5 to a 100. I will also use special dice that will be related to specific events in story and will have their own set of rules. I will explain special rules as they happen (i.e. unique rolls for events in the story).
Magic rolls (overall proficiency 0 to 50):
5 to 35 - 0 effect to magic proficiency increase
36 to 60 - +1 to specific magic proficiency
61 to 85 - +2 to specific magic proficiency
86 to 100 - +3 to specific magic proficiency
Madness and secret rolls share the same ruleset (the scale here is 0 to 100):
5 to 45 - 0 effect to madness and secret
46 to 70 - +1 to madness and secret
71 to 85 - +2 to madness and secret
86 to 100 - +3 to madness and secret
In the future (when I can afford it, I will consider streamed rolls and other way to make the rolls even more fun).
I am in the last stages of setting up a Patreon and on it you will be able to see the rolls, read ahead, join Discord and also read short essays about my views on art and interesting things I notice.
Enjoy the reading and leave feedback, I'd love to read what you think.
Here for you,
S.G.Freeman
