Rise of the Dragoons (Play-by-Post)(PbP)(Beginner Friendly!)
A war rages between a kingdom split in two. Meanwhile dragons have returned and only a select few heroes can save the world from them.
About the adventure
Beginner Friendly! This is the perfect game to jump into for a play-by-post experience. The Pitch: For years the humans and other races were held under the thumb of the Wingly's an ancestry born with high magic aptitude and superior technology. One day, the humans with the aid of the great dragons gave rise to a group of heroes that heard the call of the dragons. With their great powers they pushed the humans to rise up. War broke out and after major losses from both sides, the united races and dragoons found victory, the Winglies were completely wiped out and the world was saved. That was 10,000 years ago, now the dragons stir once more, a creature known as the "Black Monster" continues to destroy villages and now with the passing of the king, the kingdom of Basil splits into two and war breaks out once more. You hear the dragons call, you're a dragoon and it seems the war from 10,000 years ago isn't over after all. About the System: Fabula Ultima is a JRPG inspired, anime fueled TTRPG. Players will combine multiple classes to create unique and exciting characters that fit whatever sort of theme or style they can dream of! Fabula Ultima is simple in practice but has complexity if the player desires it. You can find unique synergy between classes and create powerful combinations that pair well with your allies. It's a system that rewards teamwork and creativity. So come on and give it a try!

About me
Been DMing for a long time and love reading and learning about mythology. In my free time I like to travel (or rather I did) I'm a graphic designer by trade and use GMing and playing as an escape from the hustle and bustle.

Knows the Rules
Great GM/Storyteller. I am in a V:TM PbP with them and comparing them to other PbP GMs I have had is like night and day. They are extremely active, extremely collaborative, extremely *interested*. The experience on the player end has been fantastic. I would happily pay twice their going rate (or rather, pay them weekly rather than biweekly), it's currently just criminally low for how great a game they run.
Kel creates a great, welcoming atmosphere for new party members. He let me join an in-progress campaign and pretty seamlessly fit my character into the campaign, and provided additional info for the back story. He allows players to be creative and try things that aren't in the rules.
I've been playing in one of Kel's Vampire: The Masquerade play-by-post games for a few months now. He has been a terrific Storyteller and I can't recommend him highly enough. He weaves backstories into the game, allows the players to drive the direction of the game, and is very good about giving individual characters a chance to shine, especially if we should split the party. On one occasion, there was a conflict between players and Kel was proactive and fair in addressing it. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a game with Kel.
Character creation
Creating your character
We'll do character creation in discord chat. The level starts at 5 in Fabula Ultima, you essentially pick 2-3 classes and level up your character that way. We'll use the current official released books and none of the errata. The group is currently level 10!
As a new player joining this campaign, you receive a personalized prologue, tailored to your character’s backstory and motivations. These prologues are designed to weave you seamlessly into the ongoing narrative, ensuring your entry feels natural, impactful, and uniquely yours. Play as a unique hero blessed by the spirit of the dragon. You'll be the savior of the people with your newly found powers and your task is to recruit the dragoon powers and stop the Empire a kingdom dead set on controlling the entire world. (Note: I run Multi-game discounts: For every game of mine you join I reduce the cost of all games you're in.)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All they need is access to a phone/computer with discord. Since this is a play by post game I do think it's in your best interest to be semi-active. I'll have the game charge every other week on Wednesdays.
What Kel brings to the table
Since this is a Play by Post I'll provide the discord server to join to play. I'll add artwork for the characters and provide a setting and lore document that you can refer back to, as well as any character sheets and books you may need.

How Kel creates a safe table
I tagged racism because there's some distrust against Winglies and the other races. However, Winglies are considered "extinct" by the start of the game. As we get deeper into the campaign your characters will learn this isn't true and there may be some mild animosity between them. While I don't think it'll be prevalent I do think it's worth noting. If anyone has any issues with any of the content in game I ask they please DM me and I'll adjust going forward.
