About the adventure

**Discounted by 10% to adjust for new sales tax** Create and play, your hero, your way, and tell their story in this popular adventure. (Heroes have additional feat, magic item and high, server specific stat spread) *Play by post that wont fade away, active since Nov 2023* Battle your way through countless cultists and try to stop the return of Tiamat, the 5-headed evil dragon goddess. Tyranny of Dragons is both the Hoard of the Dragon Queen adventure path, combined with the Rise of Tiamat adventure, and everything from those two books. This campaign will be a Play-by-Post (PbP - asynchronous) format, hosted on my Discord server. This means that you can post at your leisure, no annoying scheduling issues and the game is compatible with most devices, including pc, tablets or phones. I consistently respond to posts within 24 hours, making 1-3 daily contributions, and I hope for a similar level of commitment from players. Any deviations from this schedule will be communicated in advance, and these expectations can be adjusted based on player preferences.

About me

I write D&D modules, I run games, I write code and, most importantly, I love D&D. Actually most TTRPG, RPG and board games to be honest. I am a player, a GM, and a moderator on multiple discord servers, primarily I offer text based D&D 5e games. Check it out… Are you seeking a 5E game to develop your character, to be a hero, without the challenges of scheduling? A play by post that won't fade away and WILL allow you to reach your characters full potential? I facilitate play by post campaigns, catering to one to six players. I will completely customise the game to suit you and your characters, using either homebrew or published materials, depending on your preference, and at any desired levels. We will discuss the essence of D&D adventures with you, and I will craft a world tailored to your specifications. Do you enjoy immersive role-playing? We will engage in scenarios that will delve into your characters life through role-playing. Prefer engaging in combat where you can wield your preferred weapon with fervour or drop Fireballs at every opportunity? Then get your long rest in and brace your selves for some brutality. Or perhaps strike a balance between role-playing and combat, all is possible. I organise play by post games using Discord and Avrae for combat. I consistently respond to posts within 24 hours, making 2-3 daily contributions, and I expect the same level of commitment from players. Any deviations from this schedule will be communicated in advance, and these expectations can be adjusted based on customer preferences

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters will be discussed on the server once you have joined, essentially the time before you jump in to the adventure. I allow an additional feat, magic item and have a superior stat spread. I am open to most content and happy to discuss how best to make the hero you'll enjoy playing the most. Starting level is as listed in title, updating as the party level up, we allow subclass and multiclass, if required. I have a modified dice roll system that allows for a better spread of stats. We can create them together or all be yourself, and backstory detail is up to the player.

The current party

The story so far; The heroes stood against the Cult of the Dragon in Greenest, driving off both raiders and their dragon master. They infiltrated the cult’s camp, destroyed what dragon eggs they found, and shadowed a caravan north while avoiding exposure. Their hunt led them through dungeons and into Castle Naerytar, where they broke the cult’s grip and uncovered portals to their leaders’ stronghold. At the Hunter’s Lodge, they clashed with Talis the White herself, striking down her followers and unraveling her schemes. Now, are aboard a flying castle of a cloud giant, laden with a hoard fit for Tiamat. Will they succeed, or will the Wyrmspeakers rise unchecked? Join us... and help decide the fate of Faerûn. Please note this is Play By Post (PbP) D&D Asynchronous Play By Post campaign by text over discord server. Play is ongoing, session times are for charging purposes.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

The only preparation required will be to join the discord server and get to know each other a bit, create characters on DnD Beyond and link them into the server. There is no requirement for any particular device as Beyond is on a browser and Discord is an application, so just an internet enabled device will suffice.

What Garry brings to the table

I am an excitable GM and ready to create a story and lead the adventure where you want to go. I will provide the hosted server access and link to resources on DnD Beyond, allowing access to most content. I maintain the bots, code and all the requirements to make the server function well and support the gameplay. I own the published versions, but may adapt and creatc my own maps, characters, story, world, npc and even some monsters. You, the player, please bring your creativity, RP skills, willingness to use discord/avrae and, above all, patience and commitment to playing in the PBP style.

Homebrew rules

Heroes have additional feat, magic item and high, server specific stat spread. Flanking rules. Potions are bonus to self.

Safety

How Garry creates a safe table

To ensure the safety and comfort of all players, I employ the following measures: 1. Before the main game begins, I hold a session zero via discord to discuss concerns and establish boundaries. 2. I utilise a safety checklist to ensure that all players are aware of potential triggers and sensitive topics. 3. During the game, I run personal channels private to that player and the GM, allowing players to communicate their comfort levels or any other issues. This campaign will be conducted as Asynchronous Play by Post, posting via text as and when you have time. We will use Discord for all communications, DND Beyond for character sheets and resources and the Avrae bot for dice rolling and combat. I use as much description in my text as possible to make the game as immersive as possible, while keeping short enough to be able to read in short bursts, which is the way for PBP. Organised Discord channels, linked to your DnD Beyond character makes for swifter progress in the story and prevents stagnation.
