⚙️ Oracle of War ⚙️ PbP Duet (Level X - 20)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Embark on an epic journey across the war-torn landscape of Eberron in the Oracle of War campaign! From the treacherous Mournland to the towering spires of Sharn, you'll uncover ancient secrets and battle fearsome foes. Navigate political intrigue in Wroat's Royal Court, face off against the mysterious Lord of Blades and his warforged army, and delve deep into haunted daelkyr sanctuaries. ⚙️ Your adventures will take you from the frontier town of Salvation to the sacred halls of Flamekeep, from dinosaur-riding bonecasters in the Talenta Plains to the hidden depths beneath Metrol. Confront the machinations of the Order of the Emerald Claw, unravel the enigmas of the Draconic Prophecy, and race against time to prevent catastrophe from engulfing the Five Nations. This is a level 1-20 game adapted from D&D Adventurers League, Oracle of War. It gives players a chance to explore Eberron, which is a world of magicpunk and fantasy noire that is a departure from the typical faerun setting. It is quite modular so players can jump into the story at any point they wish, from tiers 1-4. ⏱ Pacing: 1 long DM post each day in the evenings (UK time), and a shorter out-of-character message in the morning to reply to any @ pings. Additional replies/posts are subject to my availability throughout the day. Artwork: Fallen Titan by James RPG, used with permission

I've been running a couple of Play-by-Post (PbP) games with David for a few months now and diving into the Big Bad Battles (BBBs) whenever I can—and let me tell you, I'm hooked! David is an amazing storyteller and a mastermind at crafting mechanics that go way beyond the usual "bash the door down" gameplay. His PbPs are consistent, super engaging, and occasionally just challenging enough to keep you on your toes (I've come dangerously close to getting offed a couple of times—no joke!). If you're looking for a fantastic DM and an awesome group to roll dice with, stop searching. You've found the best! 🎲✨
Well, what can I say about playing with David other than he is hands down my favorite PbP DM and I am a fussy pants. I have never come across a DM who is so willing to get to know my beloved characters I've been playing at tables now in group settings for years and do so in a more intimate way expanding and fleshing out their backstories going back to their younger days that I simply didn't think any DM would have the patience for with someone like me. What sort of player am I? A veteran player who suffers from, well, Main Character Energy Syndrome and who is itching for some special one-on-one attention. He really has taken the time to give me things that make me light up, giggle, and gasp as I play cat-and-mouse with my closeted evil chaotic teifling Devil-of-a-gal Bard in an evil campaign doing things I would not DARE do in the group game with any other DM that I've had her in for well over a year now. And then in another game, I get such rich beautiful Underdark story and the encounters that have convinced my hands-off Druid to truly care about learning about the Underdark's nature and how it ties in with the surface and piece together a mystery spun together all the while piecing together her backstory in a way that both the dice rolls support randomly and that he spins together like a masterful storyteller that he is. He has a knack for surprising me in ways that I think about days after they have happened -- thought provoking ideas. And to top that all off, David is simply a great all-around person who is easy to talk to and get to know and he expresses care for his players as people, which is the most important thing of all. If you have been hesitating at all to give PbP a try, do give David a try. I have a feeling I'll be playing with him for many years to come.
