About the adventure
In Hoard of the Dragon Queen and the Rise of Tiamat, you’ll face the rising threat of the Cult of the Dragon as they attempt to summon the terrifying dragon goddess, Tiamat. Explore treacherous dungeons, forge alliances, and make crucial decisions that will shape the fate of Faerûn—all through a text-based, asynchronous format that fits your schedule. - **Perfect for Beginners:** No prior experience is needed! 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. For the best experience of all players, I ask that you make a commitment to checking into the game at least once a day. Embark on a journey of heroism, cunning, and strategy, where the fate of the realms rests on your decisions. Will you rise to the challenge, or will Tiamat plunge the world into chaos? Join us and discover your destiny—one post at a time!

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.
