A new Demon Hunters campaign, looking for new players! Currently available for matches!
The Premise
In a world not entirely unlike our own, humanity exists alongside various supernatural beings, some of them native to this world, and some of them from other planes of existence. In recent years, the barrier between the human and supernatural worlds has become increasingly thin, and the activities of demons and other monsters pose an increasing threat to humanity. Across the world, many nations and factions pursue their own means of defending themselves from supernatural threats and from each other. The tides of conflict rise and fall, and heroes rise and fall with them.
In this uncertain situation, the Order of Eros seeks to unite the warring factions through love and sex, though its members all have different ideas of who should rule the world in the end. One thing they can all agree on, however, is that if they all work hard to befriend and seduce as many allies as possible, then in the end, no matter which faction reigns supreme, the victors will owe their victory to the Order, which will be free to guide the world into a peaceful and pleasurable new age.
The Rules
At any given time, there will be an active conflict between two of the factions inhabiting the world. Each of the factions will have leaders and heroes involved in the conflict, and the strength of those characters will determine who is victorious. . . unless the Order of Eros intervenes. As agents of the Order, players may choose which side of the conflict they wish to aid. To join, DM me and let me know which side you would like to support. When a player aids a faction, they lend their power to the faction, and also gain the ability to seduce characters from the opposing side, bringing them over to their own side. As the conflict progresses, events will occur which allow the characters involved to gain or lose strength, influencing the outcome of the conflict.
Seduction is straightforward: The player chooses which character to seduce, and we play a match during which I play as the target. If the player wins, the target character is seduced and joins the player's side. If I win, the target character doesn't change sides, but also doesn't contribute to their side's performance in the conflict that turn, on account of being distracted.
Most conflicts occur as a series of encounters. During each encounter, the stats of each combatant involved are compared, and the side with the higher total wins, gaining an advantage over their foes. Once one side's advantage reaches 100%, they win the conflict. Players aiding the winning faction gain points and bragging rights, and any player who has successfully seduced a character can add that character to their party, allowing them to participate in future conflicts.
Current Conflict: The Prometheus Protocol Incident
The Imperial Lakec Army vs. Oxlight University of Arcane Sciences
As the conflict in the lands of the Dunirr Tribe comes to an end, neighboring countries are on high alert, watching out for both human infiltrators and demonic invaders. The Empire of Lakec establishes a multinational military alliance aimed at keeping the nations of the North free of demonic influence. Recently, the Imperial Lakec Army has sent a task force to the Oxlight University of Arcane Sciences, with the stated intent of protecting the civilian population from potential infernal outbreaks. The university faculy suspect a darker motive, however.
Erofights League sympathizers at the University have reported Prof. Seraphina Voss, a brilliant but controversial researcher at OUAS, has been conducting unauthorized experiments in "Controlled Combustion Theory," attempting to replicate the energy signatures of the Infernal Realms to generate controlled hellfire without the presence of demons. Could this be the first step in harnessing a new source of energy to benefit all of humanity, or does it risk opening a new portal to the infernal realms and bringing new danger to the world?

Current Encounter
As the ILA task force arrives the the university, tensions are high. Some see the military's arrival as a sign of the Lakec Empire's attempt to keep the people safe from demons, while others see it as an attempt to crack down on important research and suppress the pursuit of knowledge that could empower countless people. It's only a matter of time until those tensions boil over... and when that happens, who knows what form it will take?

Recent Events:
The conflict between the exorcists of the Holy Sword of Divine Retribution and the warrior women of the Dunirr Tribe ended in a resounding victory for the Holy Sword. While the lands of the Dunirr are far too large for the Holy Sword to occupy in their entirety, they establish a presence on the Audrockward Peninsula, rebuilding a ruined port to establish a transport and shipping hub. The Dunirr tribespeople in the area scatter as the Holy Sword harvests their sacred groves for timber, with the exception of a few renegades who seek sanctuary with the Holy Sword, revealing secrets of the Dunirr Tribe's magic as the price of safety. The Holy Sword, with its own rigid and unbending system of magic, begins using this knowledge to seek out and suppress the Dunirr's wild magic wherever possible, believing it to be demonic in nature.
Previous Conflicts
Conflict 1: The Holy Sword of Divine Retribution vs. The Dunirr Tribe
Six years ago, a demonic incursion culminating in an infernal storm devastated the Dunirr Tribe's homeland of Derland. The Holy Sword of Divine Retribution, the world's foremost order of exorcists, failed to stop the demonic attack. The rigid and traditional leaders of the Holy Sword have been reluctant to accept responsibility for their failure, claiming that the Dunirr's ancient rituals and nature worship somehow attracted the attention of the demons. The Dunirr, in turn, accuse the Holy Sword of deliberately failing to protect their land and their people. Now, the Holy Sword and the Dunirr Tribe both seek to reclaim the Dunirr's tainted homeland, as each of them race to purge the land of demonic corruption and make it habitable again, each faction seeking to claim as much territory as possible in the process. Will the Holy Sword's connections, wealth, and holy magic win out? Or will the Dunirr prevail through their connection to the land and the elemental magic which suffuses it?
Current Status of the Conflict: Major Advantage to The Holy Sword of Divine Retribution (98%)
Upcoming encounter:
As the order of the Holy Sword sends it forces into Derland to wipe that land's roaming demons from the face of the earth, the Dunirr Tribe sees its influence and territory shrinking by the day. The Dunirr retaliate by sending their forces to the city of Lyneti, which the Holy Sword is using as a staging area for its campaign. The Holy Sword and the Dunirr Tribe prepare to face off in what might be their climactic battle, but the local populace would rather see the two forces fight it out literally anywhere else. Will it be possible for either side to prevail against the other without incurring the anger of the populace?
(This encounter will test the participants' Wisdom, and possibly other stats as well.)

After returning to her all-female unit, she found herself lying awake at nights, remembering the pleasure she experienced during her encounter with William.

Completed Encounters
Encounter 1: William vs. Tide Rumors abound of a village in Derland where humans and demons manage to co-exist, although tensions have recently been rising as antagonistic factions within the village compete for control of the Orb of Harmony, a holy relic, one which is rumored to be able to cure any illness or injury. The Holy Sword and the Dunirr Tribe rush to the village to intervene, each side hoping to restore order to the village and gain control of the relic for itself. Mephista suffering a debilitating curse after a battle with a powerful demon, allied with Order Member William to track down the Orb, but upon arriving at the ancient temple where the Orb was hidden, they were intercepted by Tide and her Dunirr warriors. William successfully seduced Tide, and while he was unable to prevent her from escaping with the Orb, Tide enjoyed their encounter enough that she agreed to use the power of the Orb to exorcise Mephista's curse. Shortly afterward, Tide tracked down William, agreeing to lend her skills to the Holy Sword in exchange for the pleasure William was capable of granting her. With the aid of Tide's magic and the Orb of Harmony, the Holy Sword has made significant progress in uniting the people of the Dunirr Tribe and healing the wounded land.
The Holy Sword's subsequent investigation of the temple revealed it to have once been dedicated to an ancient deity who was cast down from the heavens for his arrogance and cruelty. The ease with which Tide made her way through the ruins and recovered the Orb of Harmony suggests that the gentle water mage may have some sort of connection to this fallen god, but the exact nature of that connection remains highly speculative for now.
Victor: The Holy Sword of Divine Retribution (+38 points)
Encounter 2: William vs. Oakheart Within the lands protected by the Holy Sword, the ruined catacomb complex known as the Dire Tombs used to be a haven for criminals and outcasts. Now, some malevolent power leaks from the sealed tombs, poisoning and corrupting everyone it comes into contact with. The Tombs are now devoid of human life, their former inhabitants having fled or been twisted into infernal monsters. The faction which succeeds in cleansing the tombs of whatever evil lurks there will earn the gratitude of the population... and will earn the opportunity to purify or steal any magical artifacts which might be found within.
Oakheart of the Dunirr tribe journeyed to the Dire Tombs to cleanse them of evil and loot them of valuable artifacts, but was intercepted by William of the Order of Eros and his assistant Sakura. William was able to calm Oakheart's anger, and Sakura used her holy powers to bless Oakheart and allow her to see the truth about the haunted Dire Tombs. Oakheart learned that the tombs housed the mortal remains of ancient members of the Dunirr Tribe, and their spirits were driven to restlessness by the devastation their homeland had suffered at the hands of demonic invaders. Instead of fighting the spirits by force, Oakheart quelled their rage by promising to drive away the demons roaming the Dunirr's lands, joining forces with the exorcists of the Holy Sword to fulfill this new vow.

Encounter 3: William vs. Aria: When the Holy Sword received word that the Dunirr tribe had mobilized for a large scale invasion from multiple directions, they sent strike teams to intercept the Dunirr before they could strike. After and arduous search, William and Midori located Aria's camp and were able to sneak past her defenses. Their magic proved to be stronger than Aria's, and they were able to convince her to negotiate rather than fight to the death. During this encounter, they discovered Aria's motivation for the attacks and learned that she was the primary instigator of the conflict between the Dunirr and the Holy Sword, and convinced her to give up her misguided quest for vengeance. With Aria's information and assistance, they were able to locate the other units of the invasion force and convince them to stand down, allowing the Holy Sword free reign to continue their campaign of demon hunting in Dunirr Tribe's territories in the fallen nation of Derland.
