[PBP][Beginner][SKT]Treachery Amongst Giants - Play By Post!

Creating your character

We will create your character together in the discord through the first week of play. Players may select 2014 or 2024 rules when creating their PC. We MAY run a prologue scenario for your character if we have a small group to start. Characters will begin at level 1 and Races/Classes from WOTC and several third party books are available.

What Dungeon Doug brings to the table

I will provide you with an in-depth roleplaying and D&D experience through the week via the Discord channel. Posting volume will depend on the players who settle in and our session zero. Generally we will post at least once per day with flurries of activity during certain scenes. I will moderate pacing to ensure no-one is left behind or takes over a scene. The discord channel is a safe-place and all players are respected and able to be comfortable. You may choose to interact with others in my community on discord, or stick to this game's channel. This well-organized PBP game will be available at all times of the day on Discord. It is up to players how they wish to keep their character sheets. D&D Beyond is likely easiest due to the Avrae plugin for discord. However, if keeping a paper sheet makes you happy, go for it! I will periodically request sheets so please have them available, especially at level ups! All Characters may have artwork generated for them by me to your specifications. The number one rule and goal of this game is to ensure that everyone has FUN! So I will ensure you are able to have fun! More detailed rules will be found in the discord channel. All players are assumed to have read and abide by these rules in order to play.

How Dungeon Doug creates a safe table

D&D 5e is a team-based story-telling game with a lot of improvisation involved. Therefore, it is impossible to list ALL themes that may surface. However, within this game you should anticipate the following on a relatively consistent basis: - Fantasy violence with mild to moderate description of gore (PG-13/lite R), Mild Language. Gameplay may utilize some optional rules. Major additions are: Heliana's Guide to Monsters version of Harvesting, Crafting, and Tracking, and Strongholds & Followers rules on Strongholds. There are some minor optional rules that will be discussed in the Session Zero thread on Discord! The Module is designed and written for 2014 5e D&D. IF players wish to create their characters using 2024 5e Rules that *is* permissible; however, I will be running primarily using 2014 ruleset. I will sprinkle in player selected rules/additions from 2024 where possible, and at request only. Rules can be customized to an extent. Even though this is PBP, death can still occur, it shouldn't be ignored. Rule of Cool for fun's sake is always acceptable, but is at DM discretion. Roleplay will be possible with any NPCs or with any Sidekicks. Combat is kept quick and fluid to the best of my ability to keep it interesting at all times. Since PBP with a small player group, it will still follow 5e initiative rules with occasional tweaks for narrative purposes. Maps will be provided where relevant and necessary.
