About the adventure

Create and play, your hero, your way, and tell their story in this popular adventure. Embark on an exhilarating journey with "The Odyssey of the Dragon Lords," an epic Dungeons & Dragons campaign steeped in the awe-inspiring allure of Greek mythology. As god chosen heroes, players will traverse a world teeming with legendary beasts, ancient prophecies, and the whims of the gods. Every step of this heroic adventure pulses with the thrill of confronting mighty foes, unravelling age-old mysteries, and steering the fate of the entire world. With its rich tapestry of storytelling, vibrant cultures, and breath-taking quests, "The Odyssey of the Dragon Lords" promises an unforgettable saga in a realm of myth and legend. 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.

Garry has mastered the Play-by-post style. He facilitates enriching role play and allows for character development and interaction to occur while also providing meaningful combat situations. If you are interested in PBP, these are the tables to join.

Garry is a very knowledgeable GM he enforces rules that are often overlooked and that attention to detail is what I enjoy the most, whether combat, characters or story he spares not small details!

Garry does a great job with Play-by-post! He keeps the game moving (which can be difficult in the format). His stories are unique and interesting and combat is rewarding (which is also difficult to pull off in this format.) If you're looking for a great play-by-post game, you should definitely check him out!

Gary is great and very helpful. It has been a number of years since I have played DND and he was great at getting me up to speed. The adventures are fun and I have enjoyed them very much. Looking forward to more play time in his worlds.

I had a great session with Garry! His profile and GM social media presence were the first to catch my attention, but his personality is really what locked me in. He took the time to answer all my questions and helped tailor a game that incorporated my interests while respecting any limits or concerns I had. I played a session in his custom world with him. His descriptions brought the world to life, weaving in details that helped immerse me in the game. He easily integrated my character into the setting, making my character a vital part of the scene. I'm really impressed by how much love he has put into his setting. That joy was infectious and made the experience feel so interactive, showing that he loves what he does. I hope we can roleplay together again in the future. :) If you're looking for a fun and engaging game, I highly recommend playing with him!

How to prepare

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 I provide

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.

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 way for PBP. Organised Discord channels, 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 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.
