Echoes of the Singing Stones
When a bard vanishes and nature turns wild, whispers of a lost elven power stir—unravel the mystery or let Greyhawk fall to a song of unraveling doom.
About the adventure
In the ancient realm of Greyhawk, shrouded in mist and legend, lie the artifacts woven from the very fabric of the cosmos. Once the heart of an exalted elven kingdom, Celene, these ethereal crystals resonate with the primordial harmonies of nature itself, whispering secrets only to those who dare to listen. For centuries, they have remained dormant, their powers entwined with the fate of the world, and now, as dark omens gather upon the horizon, their song stirs once again. Prepare for a campaign starting at level 1 and journeying to level 10. Recently, a traveling bard named Elara, known for her enchanting songs and tales, came to Relland claiming she discovered an ancient relic in the nearby hills—rumored to be an artifact of significant historical importance, possibly linked to an old elven kingdom. After a night of captivating performance, she vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the haunting echoes of her last song. Villagers speak of strange phenomena that followed her disappearance: glowing lights flickering in the moonlit woods, eerie melodies drifting on the wind, and the sudden flourishing of unnatural flora. But with beauty comes peril; wild creatures once peaceful have turned ominous, drawn by an awakening force that promises both wonder and doom. As darkness encroaches, a cryptic prophecy emerges—a riddle concealed within the ancient tomes of lost lore. The adventurers, bound by fate and curiosity, must embark on a treacherous journey to uncover the hidden Celestial Grove. Here, you will encounter guardians of yore, enigmatic beings who protect the grove's secrets and test the resolve of those who seek its power. Will you rise to reclaim the harmony that once coursed through the land, or will you fall prey to the darkness, allowing the chilling whispers to become an anthem of despair? The fate of Greyhawk hangs in the balance as the cosmic symphony awaits its champions.

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
You will start at level 1. 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!
Welcome to the Free City of Greyhawk—where old powers wake and deeper tides rise. In the aftermath of mercenary blood spilled near a sunken temple, two blades—one Goliath-born and wolf-marked, the other veiled in shadow and spell—cut a path through forgotten shrines and treacherous alleys. The Singing Stones now resonate across the borderlands. The Hollow Hand stirs in the ruins. Gods long drowned whisper again, and something ancient moves beneath the mire. But Greyhawk endures, ever hungry. New adventurers are welcome—whether fugitive, scholar, sell-sword, or stray divine. The mysteries go deeper than any one blade. The city offers coin, peril, and purpose in equal measure. Come prepared to bleed for secrets, and perhaps shape the tide to come. Greyhawk devours the careless. But the clever? They might feast. (Party Level 4 at the moment.)

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!
