[PBP] Horror One Shots, linked to make campaign | lvl 7 (/20)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Create and play, your hero, your way, and tell their story. Unimaginable horrors savage the lands of Allarea and it falls to this rag tag group of heroes to face them. Whether this is to save the day, save the people, to gain power or simply for the money is known only to them each. But here they are, armed and ready to quash every horrific *thing* they face. This campaign will run as a series of one shots, either published or homebrew, adventure requests will be considered. As this will be pbp, each story will run roughly 4 - 6 weeks at a time. There will then be a natural place to drop in or out of the over arching story that links the one shots. Players are welcome to jump in and out at these points. This campaign will be a Play-by-Post (PbP - asynchronous) format, hosted on a dedicated 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. D&D pbp

Recruiting notes

The story so far; The heroes have saved the deserted town, finding all have disappeared into a nightmare world beneath they have faced a number of crazy scenarios, faceless gnomes, tentacled beasts and a chimaera mix of the party. Finally culminating in a harlequin demon! They now face a monstrous invasion in the northern forests? Will madness take them? Will they become vampire thrall? What's with all the Were-Folk? Join us and help sway the outcome. 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. The story will be a mix of published and homebrew one shots, linked together to make a campaign all the way to level 20. One shots will create natural exit and entrance points if people want to jump in and out.

How to prepare

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 I provide

I am an enthusiastic 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. Maps, characters, story, world, npc and even some monsters are made by myself, where possible, utilising map tools, AI Art (sorry artists) and my own creativity. 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.

Gameplay details

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 best way for PBP. Organised Discord channels, Avrae bots, linked to your DnD Beyond character makes for swifter progress in the story and prevents stagnation.

How will character creation work

Characters will be discussed on the server during the "Session 0", which is essentially the time before you jump in. They will start at the level stated in the title, which changes 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.
