Hello - welcome to Humble Beginnings, a cultivation quest! This is my first quest. I'm honestly not super versed on either quests or cultivation, but both have simultaneously grabbed my interest and won't let go, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
As mentioned, I'm far from an expert on cultivation, so while I'm going to be trying to very much hit the flavor and key tenets of the genre, expect deviations from the standard, some intentional and some born of ignorance. Big inspirations that you'll likely easily read are Kill Six Billion Demons, Exalted, the Burnt Empire Saga, and most importantly, Yrsillar's Destiny Cycle, which was my first real intro to both quests and cultivation as a whole.
I'm shooting for a fairly crunchy, mechanics-based quest, and as such have written up a custom system for our use. It definitely has its roots in Exalted, but also has some inspiration from Pathfinder and Kill Team, and a smidge of MTG. It's entirely unplaytested, so while I don't think there's any huge flaws, expect many tweaks and changes as we play and problems inevitably pop up.
