“..as you emerge from the Sea of Chaos, you feel like a new existence has begun. Your eyes open to an unfamiliar world, with sights and smells that do not properly register in your mind. You feel as if your body is still forming itself, growing from the outside in. You are wearing simple clothing, and have broken, dull armor protecting parts of your body. There is a weapon at your side, and you hear words of… magic? dancing in your head, trying to etch their way into your memory…”
Welcome, Lost Soul, to your New Reality. Whether you chose to be here, or were forced to travel through the Sea of Chaos by friends or loved ones, you have been summoned to a realm known simply as “The Land”. Perhaps you have heard of it before- but do not concern yourself with your previous knowledge. Much has changed in The Land due to the Chaos of recent events. How will you fit into this new world? How will you shape it to your will, or will you fade into obscurity?
May the Banished Deities have mercy on you, if it is right that they should do so.
The Red Venom Plains is a gaming campaign loosely based on the Chaos Seeds books by Aleron Kong. It is a fan-made LitRPG project that allows players to explore alternate parts of the world based on his literary masterpieces, shaping the future of the world in amazing ways. This will be an “Interactive” campaign, and your choices will have consequences that affect other players around the world.
We are using Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition as our primary rules system, and have additional character options inspired by the adventures of popular LitRPG characters. The Red Venom Plains draws lost souls from all realms into this massive story world, and you will have many options to develop your character in its rewarding and dangerous environments.
Welcome, Chaos Seed, to the Playtest. The Land is a vast and dangerous place, and you have been deposited far from anywhere you remember. The Lords of Chaos have directed you to this vast region of The Land known as the Red Venom Plains for reasons you do not understand, but you are in a place that shall challenge you to change both you and the world around you.
What is “The Red Venom Plains Campaign System”, “The Land: Roleplaying System”, “LitRPG”, or “Chaos Seeds”?
Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels by Aleron Kong, our roleplaying system does its best to expand the world created by Aleron Kong into a setting of intrigue and high adventure. The campaign staff has worked within very specific guidelines to ensure our players have the opportunity to experience life as a creature brought into an ancient world known as ‘The Land’.
We once called our campaign “The Land: Roleplaying System”, but due to copyright issues, we felt it was best to change our campaign name to the “The Red Venom Plains Campaign Setting”, to protect Dr. Kong.
LitRPG is a genre of books wherein the reader is transported into a new world with a sense of remembrance from the previous existence; and Chaos Seeds is a term Dr. Kong uses in his books to describe creatures with Souls of Chaos, born to create change wherever they go. You can discover the literary world on LitRPG.com
You were not the first Chaos Seed to enter The Land, nor will you be the last.
The Lords of Chaos have placed you in the Red Venom Plains for unknown purposes. Your presence will certainly destabilize a region that has been locked in a repetitive cycle for millennia. The Land has responded by changing the way magic affects you, and those like you.
You are part of the “Third Generation” of Chaos Seeds to arrive in The Land. For you, all actions, positive and negative, are a matter of chance. When you cast a spell, it may have different effects than when a native of The Land casts it, or even when another Chaos Seed casts it. Your ability to learn and progress varies from others in The Land, including the Chaos Seeds that arrived before you.
Upon exiting the Sea of Chaos, you know there is only one truth that matters – you need to survive. To aid your chances of survival, the Lords of Chaos have allowed you to enter the Red Venom Plains in small groups of four to six Chaos Seeds. You will also be formed with rudimentary weapons and armor, and a basic knowledge of magic.
The Curse of Chaos was also implemented by the Lords of Chaos. A punishment befalls those that kill Third Generation Chaos Seeds that kill each other. The Lords of Chaos command all that enter to survive- woe to those that actively ignore this command.
