[PbP] Intrigue, slice of life, city building - Daily one-on-one
About the adventure
Some of the citizens of Perish: ๐ธ A retired adventurer looking to start a new life in a small town next to Perish. ๐ธ A sentenced criminal serving his time as a forced deckhand on a ship. ๐ธ An escapee from a war-torn country looking to provide a better future for her siblings in Perish. You are a citizen of Perish. A city that is preparing for the Centenary of Liberation. Almost 100 years ago, the Noble Dragon Queen of Perish liberated its citizens from the magocratic and fascist Tyrant King. But not all is well. ๐ฒ The Dragon Queen is covetous and the poor toil away in travail. ๐กThe Noble Houses plot and choose sides as the Echoing War draws closer. โ The old cabals of Tyrant King still hold his arcane secrets as they operate from shadows. ๐And the ancient Curse of Perish plagues the city - milky wells of Perish render all produce born of earth bland and ghastly pale. These and endless other stories take place in palaces, streets, and catacombs of Perish. Choose a faction or come up with your own. Enjoy slice of life or jump into intrigues that move the City. In this play by post campaign, you will: ๐ Take on any role. Create a character of any level. Queen, peasant, baker, adventurer, dragon, giant, elemental dish washer. ๐ Explore the mysteries and intrigues of Perish. ๐ค Forge and break alliance of various factions. ๐ Build, influence, and develop the city of Perish. ๐ซ Have your actions resonate into other people's sessions. You all share the city - there is only one Perish. This campaign is run 1 on 1 using Discord. However, the city of Perish where the campaign takes place is shared by each player. Your actions will have consequences. It doesn't matter which session you join - choose the one with the moat convenient billing date. Any session joined includes six days of posting each week (Monday-Saturday). I will post once per day. New and veteran players are welcome. Join!

About me
Well met! My name is Matthew. ๐ (Don't ask about the snail.) ๐นI'm a game master, designer, and educator with over a decade of experience. This experience allowed me to try many styles of running games before settling on the right style for me. ๐นI'm excited to join you on an adventure. Every session is a leg of a fantastic journey. My goal is to have both of us - you and me - look back at our campaign and think - "Wow! That actually happened! What a ride!" ๐ Books: Malazan/ Discworld ๐ฎ Games: Dungeons and Dragons/ Warcraft ๐ฝMovies: Mad Max Fury Road/ Dazed and Confused ๐ธMusic: Dua Lipa/ Limp Biscuit ๐Animal: Dog (๐?)

Players say this GM is great at:
Creativity
Storytelling
Knows the Rules
Really did a great job -- I was a beginner and he took the time to explain how things work. He provided just the right amount of hints when I was missing something without guiding me to the solution. Highly recommend! Story telling was awesome and I was totally immersed in the role playing.
Character creation
Creating your character
We will discuss your character concept during session 0. Your level, class, race, background, and game materials used will depend on who you want to play as.
We are currently looking for citizens of Perish willing to fight for their ideals!

How Matt creates a safe table
A session 0 is a short back and forth where we share our expectations and go through possible character concepts. I will also represent the principal factions of Perish. You are welcome to come up with your own faction ideas and personal agendas. We shall discuss lines and veils before our first session. We will strictly respect them in our sessions.
