Last is a great storyteller and brings the game to life with vivid descriptions. The players Characters backstory, actions and statements are incorporated into the narrative to help the players feel like they're really making a difference in the world. Highly recommended

Slow pace but that suits me fine. Very low price - maybe the cheapest I've seen on StarPlaying. Very talented in her writing, everything is handled in Theater of the Mind, it's sometimes a bit frustrating that we don't have some maps to guide our imagination. Extremely nice. A pleasure to play with her.

If you're looking for a great GM to host play-by-posts, Last is the GM you're looking for! Games take place in Discord channels which Last sets up (and mods) well and then she posts on a daily basis to give you a great dose of D&D every day! She does a great job of not only including player's described backstory but also being very lenient on letting players drive the story. I've been playing for months now and it feels like the other players and I are writing an epic story with Last providing the Narrator point of view. Great stuff, would totally recommend!

Last has been amazing. I had never tried Play By Post before and thought it might be a good way to add a little extra D&D to my life beyond my weekly in-person game. Last offered very affordable options to get started, and as soon as I did I was hooked. Last does a really good job with making it feel like your character is part of the world and story, not just a game piece in a game. Her writing is great and she definitely keeps up and keeps the story moving. Checking Discord every morning to see what has happened is easily a highlight of my day now. I definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't given this a try to start here.

Last's campaign is coming along nicely and is a very engaging DM. Very easy to work with and definitely works with you to make your character's background and story part of the ongoing campaign. I look forward to see where the story leads.

I've had the genuine joy of playing under this GM, and I can't recommend them enough. Their storytelling is heartfelt, immersive, and beautifully character-driven—every post feels thoughtful and full of care. They strike a wonderful balance between world-building, plot, and giving each player space to shine. What really stood out to me was how much they clearly value their players’ stories, weaving them into the bigger picture with such grace and attention. It’s the kind of game that stays with you long after. I truly hope I get the chance to play with them again—it would be an absolute gift.
Character creation
Creating your character
To create your character for our campaign, simply head over to D&D Beyond and click the "Create a Character" button. I’ll share the link with you shortly. If you have any questions or concerns along the way, please don’t hesitate to ask! While the full campaign will kick off once we have three players, I love to start with small preludes as soon as you join and create your character. This way, you can get a feel for both your character and the world we’re exploring together. I’m excited to embark on this adventure with you!

Join a bold crew that includes: 🛡️ A Conquest Paladin devoted to Gond, seeking glory and order 🗡️ A sharp-eyed noblewoman Inquisitor, uncovering truths in every shadow 🔥 A chaotic wild magic Sorcerer who’s as unpredictable as the winds of the desert The story’s just getting started, and there's still room at the caravan—hop in!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to be aware that we will be using the 2024 players handbook which I will share via dndbeyond. You will also need to make a discord account if you don’t already have one. Once you join I will send you links and help get you up and running.
What Last brings to the table
I have a discord set up with various discord tools for npcs and dice rolling. I use D&D beyond for character sheets and character creation. I use art and music to help set the mood. I use text on Discord to allow freedom and flexibility. Welcome to a vibrant world where every choice you make shapes the unfolding story. In this realm, your characters will encounter a living, breathing landscape that reacts to their actions and decisions. Expect to forge complex relationships—rivalries, friendships, alliances, and even romances—throughout your journeys. The drama of personal choice intertwines with the political intrigue of various factions and noble courts, creating a rich tapestry of engagement. You will face epic battles with vast armies and embark on grand adventures across sprawling landscapes, where your characters will leave lasting legacies. Whether you choose to immerse yourself deeply in the narrative or engage at your own pace, the world is yours to explore and influence. Step into this adventure and let your choices define your path!
