I’ll guide you through everything, from character creation to mastering the rules. - **Play-by-Post Format:** No need to worry about finding time for long sessions. Play at your convenience, posting whenever it suits you. - **Immersive Storytelling:** Experience a rich, detailed world where your choices matter. - **Custom Maps, Sheets, and Resources Provided:** All the tools you need to jump right into the adventure. As a play-by-post game, the game will be available 24/7 on Discord, where you can log in at any time to roleplay, take actions, and read what the other players are up to, with an In Character channel, Out of Character Channel, and lots of help along the way from an experienced Dungeon Master.

Apheline is a fantastic GM with a fun and engaging style! We’re still early in our campaign, but they’ve already established a great dynamic within the group. Their storytelling adds depth, tension, and just the right amount of humour, making every post fun. They’re also incredibly adaptable, making sure everyone’s having a good time. I’m excited to see where the story goes!"

apheline is wonderful fun. Creative, encouraging, inclusive, and open to quirky ideas. I’m loving our Out of the Abyss adventure, and I think it’s safe to say that the whole group is having fun.

I have truly enjoyed playing with Apheline as Game Master. Play-by-post games are difficult to keep moving, but she consistently responds quickly to player's posts, encourages creative ideas, and promotes a fun and positive game environment. She is also a talented writer, which makes reading her descriptions and interacting with her NPCs a real pleasure.

Apheline is a really well organised DM who is always ready to help when there's any tech or story confusion! Best PBP DM I have had the pleasure of playing under so far. :)

Great DM who tells a good story and facilitates players to tell theirs.
Character creation
Creating your character
As stated above, I'm happy to walk people through character creation on D&D Beyond. I'm open to using the One D&D (2024) or Legacy options and working with you to make your character original including homebrewing and reskinning content
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a free Discord account and a free D&D Beyond account.
What apheline brings to the table
I offer a DNDBeyond for character creation with the latest (2024) rules. I am happy to work with you to create a character that you are happy with. If you have a concept I love reskinning and homebrewing to make that concept come to life for you. I also provide a Discord server. We use Avrae dice bot and Tupperbox for immersion. I am happy to walk anyone through the use of any of these tools. We are here to focus on the fun, not the crunch :)

How apheline creates a safe table
A lines and veils document will be shared with players where they can anonymously check off anything they'd like to avoid/gloss over. There will also be a Session 0 where we can talk about everyone's wishes for their characters so that I can make sure to include those things in the game.
