About the adventure
Create and play your hero your way, shaping their legend within this epic Greek myth inspired campaign. Heroes begin with an additional feat, a magic item, and a high server-specific stat spread. Play-by-post that won’t fade away, active since June 2024 and still going strong. Embark on an unforgettable journey through Odyssey of the Dragonlords, an epic Dungeons & Dragons campaign inspired by the tragedy, heroism, and monsters of Greek mythology. Players take the role of god-touched heroes destined to challenge titans, dragons, and prophecy itself. Ancient ruins, divine politics, cursed relics, and legendary beasts await across a living world shaped by player choice. This is a Play-by-Post (asynchronous) campaign hosted on Discord, allowing flexible play without scheduling headaches. The game works across PC, tablet, and mobile devices. I consistently respond to posts within 24 hours, making at least 1 major daily contribution and 1-2 smaller interactions, and I expect a good level of commitment from players. Sundays are slow, or no, contribution days.

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, though I have online voice and video games too. 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 at least 1 major daily contributions and 1-2 smaller interactions, and I expect a good level of commitment from players. Sundays are slow, or no, contribution days. Any deviations from this schedule will be communicated in advance, and these expectations can be adjusted based on customer preferences

Creating your character
Characters will be discussed on the server during the "Session 0", which is essentially the time before we get started. They will have specific backgrounds to meet the layers of the story being told. They will start at current level in title. 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 story so far; The heroes of prophecy have carved their names into fate. They destroyed the corrupted boar, freed the Oracle Versi, and claimed their destinies beneath the gaze of the gods. They rescued Princess Anora from sacrifice, defeated the centaur warlord, slain Sydon's priests, and survived the petrifying horrors of the wilds. Beneath the Tombs of the Dragonlords they bargained with Damon the lich, destroyed Dementia within the moss-covered temple, and uncovered secrets long buried beneath the world. Now they have descended into the ancient Mithral Forge. There, amid ruined halls and dwarven dead, they uncovered forgotten relics of the Dragonlords, battled Cerberus hounds and death dogs, and freed the legendary Forgekeeper from centuries of bondage. The forge now burns once more, its fires calling once again to Volkan himself. Below the forge waits the darkness of the Underdark, where ancient worms and stranger horrors stir beneath the mountains, the weapons of legend may be forged and the heroes must find the Ship of their visions and locate that which will help them succeed, all while solving their own personal goals and resolving their trauma. Join us and help decide the fate of Thylea. THE CURRENT PARTY Minotaur Cleric Nyxian Bladesinger Medusa Rogue Elf Druid Siren Sorcerer Dwarf Fighter ...perhaps one more hero? NOTE 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, a small primer of pre reading, 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 create 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.
