About the adventure

Imagine an Azeroth where you are the protagonist during the First War, Second War, Third War, or even at the start of WoW Classic! This journey takes place in the World of Azeroth. We can run a unique adventure path as a member of The Horde or The Alliance during one of the original Warcraft Games or WoW Eras moving forward, or do a custom campaign within the vast universe (be it heroic, evil, or otherwise). 🔹 A safe place for diversity; the GM is a LGBTQIA+ ally and Neurodivergent 🔹 Level 1-20+ or 3-20+ adventure 🔹 GMed by Ben 🔹 Character backstories matter, and are heavily tied into the game 🔹 Engaging NPCs and roleplay within a world heavily fleshed out by the GM 🔹 At least one post a day from the GM at the very minimum This is a bespoke (custom) D&D 5E campaign, crafted specifically for duet play (one player, one GM) and designed to be played asynchronously on Discord. Whether you're new to Dungeons & Dragons 5E, Warcraft/WoW Lore, or the concept of play-by-post gaming, no prior experience is necessary. Our adventure will utilize Discord for communication, character management, and for additional homebrew resources. Your GM is me, Ben! I bring a wealth of experience in running D&D 5E and tailored play-by-post adventures for your character. With a penchant for crafting detailed and immersive narratives, I commit to delivering at least one long post daily, peppered with numerous shorter updates throughout the day to keep the adventure flowing and engaging. This personalized approach will ensure a deep and interactive storytelling experience that is tailor-made for a single character's (or group of characters controlled by you) journey through the World of Warcraft. The price is as advertised and is for 1-3 detailed posts a day, but we can discuss pricing if you want more activity. In duets, erotic roleplay is an option but won't be the focus.

Ben does a wonderful job fostering a good space! Telling a story within the One Piece world together has been a joy thus far. They've also been very patient with me as well, this year hasn't been the kindest to me! You should definitely give them a shot! They do good work!

Ben knows a lot and when he doesn't know a setting, he does his research. He has a huge passion and drive for his games and the settings they are in. He gets excited and enthusiastic about the game, and he'll always make sure you know when he's updated the game. His NPCs are really unique, and with the world, how they intertwine tells a story.

Ben’s always really good with working with a player to integrate them into the world! He’s also good at meeting with people where they’re at and clearing up misunderstandings should they come up.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Ben as my GM! His creativity brought the world to life in vivid detail, making every post he makes feel immersive and exciting. He was incredibly helpful when I was creating my character, offering insightful guidance while letting me bring my unique ideas to the table. One of the things I appreciate most is how he answers every question with a speed and knowledge that’s truly impressive—he always has the perfect response right when you need it. If you’re looking for a GM who’s both imaginative and supportive, Ben is the perfect choice!

I'm hooked and can't wait to see where this adventure with Ben leads! His profile and games initially caught my attention, but it’s his personality that really won me over. During our session zero, 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’m currently playing a duet play-by-post Warcraft game with him. Ben’s deep knowledge of the world lore and game system is really special, and he gives me all the information I need to feel confident in my role. In-game, he makes an immersive experience with photos and descriptions, while integrating my character into the story. His NPCs look to my character for decisions, making me feel like a vital part of the adventure. As of writing this, we’ve had three sessions (about three weeks) and we've already written 12 pages together—yay! Ben keeps the game moving with daily posts, sometimes even surprising me with more than one. He’s responsive throughout the week, patiently addressing questions, comments, and concerns, and engaging in friendly game-related conversation. This makes the experience feel interactive and shows that Ben loves what he does. His style is engaging, with plenty of opportunities for social interactions and exploration. He uses every dice roll, whether high or low, to propel the story forward in a satisfying way. I’ve never felt cheated or punished, even with a bad roll. The four-star rating is due to the writing style. Currently, there are inconsistencies in the narration—sometimes my character is referred to in the third person, while at other times, the second person is used. This happens often enough to be pretty jarring. I understand that Ben prefers to write in the second person while the player writes in third instead of first. Since I’m not a fan of that style, we agreed to both write in third person. This has led to occasional perspective shifts in his writing, sometimes within a single post. I think this could be improved with an extra reread before posting, but I do appreciate him trying to accommodate me. This shouldn't be a concern for anyone who shares his pov preferences. Overall, I really appreciate Ben’s hard work and hope we can continue this campaign for many more pages to come. :) If you’re looking for a fun and engaging game, I highly recommend playing with him!

Character creation
Creating your character

🔹 Character creation details can be discussed and changed! This is YOUR game after all. This is just a basis on what I typically allow. 🔹 I will be using Discord to help walk you through the character creation process, but please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help or have any questions. This game is open to new players, and I am happy to answer any questions and provide guidance. I also allow homebrew (custom content) and third-party content, with the disclaimer that if something is too powerful, we may need to adjust it to maintain fairness between players. I am willing to work with players to help them create the characters they want, including custom races or other special abilities. Here are some additional details about character creation: ✅ We will be using several Homebrews that provide World of Warcraft in 5e. We will discuss more once you sign up. ✅ Level 1 or 3 start. ✅ Free feat at Level 1. ✅ Heroic Array: 18, 17, 16, 15, 13, 11 ✅ Maximum HP ✅ Start with a Magic Item or Two (Within Reason) ✅ Starting Gear ✅ Be thinking about backstory and what kind of race and faction you want to be a part of. Do you want to be a part of the Noble Alliance? The Brutish yet Honor-bound Horde? Make sure to explain to me where you want the story to begin Era Wise (Warcraft 1, 2, 3, WoW Classic, etc.) and what kind of character you want to roleplay.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with the Avrae bot. This means that posts will be made throughout the week; it's to the pace of the group. All playing will be done by text, making things accessible for those who aren't able to use voice. I will update at least daily. You will get to experience the story and the roleplay, while also learning about--or getting more experience with--play-by-post format and Avrae. ✅ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ Once you sign up, message me on Discord. I will link you to the Discord (you can also find it below). From there, we can get you prepared. The game itself will start once everyone is ready (you will not be charged until we begin). =============== PLOT: Expanded - This story takes place on The World of Azeroth, where various races live together and two large factions reign supreme. The Alliance, and The Horde. Most of the Eras involve conflict between these two factions and the races that bind them together. Whether it is The First War between the Humans and Orcs, The Second War with The Horde and Newly Formed Alliance, The Third War with The Alliance, The Horde, and many other fighting the Demonic Burning Legion, or even potential for more adventurous open ended adventures during the beginning of World of Warcraft Classic Era. More details can be explained about each of the eras, as depending on what era you choose to start in, the races and classes you can pick from will be tied to those eras and what is available.

What GM Ben brings to the table

Ben, your GM, provides an incredible experience, with the help of various tools from 10+ years of experience with text roleplay. His games include: 🔹 Working one-on-one with you to weave your character backstory in and make this a unique experience. 🔹 Adding his own twist to the story and accounting for character actions and interactions. This is not a static world, and the echoes of the party's choices will be seen. 🔹 Giving characters boons and magic items and scaling up monsters to make combat engaging and challenging. Monsters will not hold back, but the DM will root for your success. 🔹 Creating NPCs with motivations and personalities, who may help or hinder the player characters. Maintain friendships, rivalries, make enemies or even potentially lovers (with consent). 🔹 Customized heroic rivals that will try to oppose the party at every turn. 🔹 Custom (homebrew) content and systems for Warcraft/WoW from the DM and third-parties. 🔹 Pre-generated characters or concepts, in case you do not wish to create your own.
