About the adventure

Mount Celestia, the bastion of all that is good and lawful in the multiverse, has fallen! Ascend through the layers of Mount Celestia, face off against corrupted celestials and demonic entities, and race against time to prevent the enemy from sealing off the heavens forever. This high-stakes quest blends heroic combat, moral dilemmas, and the awe-inspiring vistas of the Upper Planes! 🏔️ Explore the Seven Heavens of Mount Celestia, from the shining shores of Lunia to the illuminated expanse of Chronias 👥 Battle fiendish champions, outsmart cunning yugoloths, and interact with the shades of legendary paragons ⚔️ Wield divine artifacts, overcome celestial trials, and shape the fate of the multiverse This is a relatively brief tier 4 adventure, that will last about a month depending on the pace set by the player. There is a second half to the adventure as well for those who wish to delve deeper and uncover the reasons behind the attack. ⏱ 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.

Great DM, storyteller, and writer; had never done PbP before playing with Dave, glad it was with him because it's been a blast.

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.

I am enjoying my first campaign with David. We just started. David is extremely responsive and is really good about bringing the story alive.
