About the adventure

The Blight is rising from the Korcari Wilds to the south, darkspawn spilling forth to spread death and corruption across Ferelden, but few believe the threat is real. Only the ancient order of Grey Wardens knows the truth, and they must rally the realm against an Archdemon determined to consume the world. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of your kind, forced to unite a divided land where allies are rare, and mistrust runs deep. Will you gain the loyalty of the Dalish, broker peace between mages and templars, and confront the growing darkness head-on, or will your choices lead Ferelden into ruin? Gather your allies, shape your destiny, and end the Blight—before it ends you. 🛡️ Unite Ferelden’s fractured factions ⚖️ Face harrowing moral dilemmas ⚔️ Battle monstrous darkspawn 🎭 Customize your character beyond what a video game can do 🔮 Uncover forgotten lore (with lore adapted from what we know now) 🤝 Forge bonds or rivalries with your companions in a BioWare style This is a play-by-post campaign to be held asynchronously over Discord. The beauty of this format is that participants can contribute whenever they have the time, making it perfect for those with busy schedules or living in different time zones. Each player adds to the story at their own pace, giving themselves time to think on their character's actions and reactions Through text-based communication, players have the freedom to carefully shape their character's actions and interactions, allowing for rich character development and intricate storytelling. Additionally, our combat and exploration system strikes a perfect balance, allowing for play-by-post gameplay while staying true to the essence of D&D. You will have the freedom to declare your actions and roll for their outcomes, ensuring strategic decision-making and keeping the excitement of tabletop roleplaying intact. With Discord's organizational features, such as separate channels for different scenes or discussions, players can easily follow the flow of the game and engage with others. ⚔️ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/vMM286JdWE

A great choice if your interested in play by post games. I am currently in multiple of their games and have not been disappointed in any of them. They have been willing to listen to my ramblings for character ideas and work with me to figure out how to implement my ramblings into the game.

I had never done a play by post game before, so I was nervous when I first started. Dreams and Eni made it so as soon as I started, I was hooked. Incredible when it comes to working on characters and weaving their story into the game, making combat interesting with the different format, as well as making each NPC feel alive and interesting. A fantastic writer who allows for so much interaction and the chance to allow people to have creative solutions to the game, while allowing everyone a chance to shine. If you are nervous about joining a play by post game, this is the one you should join. Incredible writing, interactions, and attention to detail. I eagerly await each post, ready for more.

The fantastic inclusiveness of backstory content, and the expanding of it in game is stunning. My character is woven into the game so wonderfully! I lovey games with Dreams and Eni!

Dreams and Enigma have been great. They are both very helpful, especially to new players. This is my 1st campaign and learning via PBP with Dreams and Enigma has been very helpful to me to learn to play in general.

The Duet PBP I have done with these two GMs are some of the best stories I have told. They are extremely detailed and active as well when it comes to posts! We post and respond to each other plenty of times each day, and they are super friendly and kind too!

Dream is a fantastic DM for new and veteran players. Their grasp of the Avrae system makes playing seamless and immersive. They're so attentive and helpful it makes playing a genuine pleasure. Look no further if you want a top notch PbP experience.

Character creation
Creating your character

The date is 9:30 Dragon. As the darkspawn emerge from the Deep Roads, your character will join or assist the Grey Wardens, striving to save the land from devastation. This guide walks you through creating your hero for this adventure. I will share the Dragon Age (Fantasy Age) core rulebook for you to create your characters from. We can work together to create the character. Homebrew content is fine!

The current party

⚔️ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/vMM286JdWE We currently have: - 1 Warrior - 1 Rogue - 1 Mage Taken Origins: - Cousland (Human Noble) - Amell (Human Magi) - Mahariel (Dalish Elf) Reserved: - Tabris (Elf Commoner) Available Origins: - Aeducan (Dwarf Noble) - Brosca (Dwarf Commoner) - Surana (Elf Magi)

What to expect
Preparing for the session

This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with a dice roller bot. This means that posts will be made throughout the week; it's to the pace of the group. I can link a Forge (Foundry) game to roll and integrate that, but it's not required. All playing will be done by text, making things accessible for those who aren't able to use voice. I will update at least daily. You will get to experience the story and the roleplay, while also learning about--or getting more experience with--play-by-post format and Avrae. You do not need to know Avrae, or any of the other tools. I can teach you. As long as I have access to your character sheet, you can roll using Avrae, Roll20, the in-Discord dice bot, or your own dice. ✅ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ ✅ I can provide the materials for character creation, and a place to store character sheets on the Discord. Once you sign up, message me. I will link you to the Discord (you can also find it below). From there, we can get you prepared. The game itself will start once everyone is ready (you will not be charged until we begin). This game uses its own discord. Find the link below - ⚔️ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/vMM286JdWE

What Dreams & Eni brings to the table

As the GM, I provide the following: 🔷 One-on-one help to tie your character's backstory into the world and story. 🔷 A Discord server, with threads for splitting the party or side RP. 🔷 A dice roller bot for easy roll resolution. 🔷 Visuals for exploration hosted via Roll20. 🔷 Over 20 years of experience running text-based RPGs. 🔷 A willingness to teach even as I'm learning the ins and outs of AGE. Dreams (my co-GM) knows AGE and is teaching me. 🔷 Pregenerated characters options for you to choose from. Dreams will also be helping as well as playing. Dreams is experienced with play by post and AGE, and they will be helping me to develop a system that will work for players and DMs, to run this system via text!

Safety
How Dreams & Eni creates a safe table

🏳️‍🌈♾️👨🏾‍🦲 This is a safe table for people of all types. Dreams is trans and queer, Enigma is LGBTQIA+, and we are both neurodivergent. We hope to make a place where all can feel accepted, regardless of race, gender, beliefs. 👨🏾‍🦲♾️🏳️‍🌈 Safety tools will always be in effect; this game is a safe and inclusive place. We will use safety cards, Monte-Cooke consent form, lines and veils, and any other safety tools the group needs. Both Enigma and Dreams are neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+, and seek to provide a safe table for all players. Accessibility is a big part of the game, and accommodations will be made to meet your needs so that you can have fun. The following will NOT be featured in our games: 🔷 Sexual Assault/Non-Consensual Sex 🔷 Exploitation of Minors 🔷 Real life imagery of sabotage/destruction [GIFs, Photos, and Videos] 🔷 Player-on-Player gaslighting, bullying, or negativity 🔷 Player-on-Player TRASH [transphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia] behavior This is a play-by-post campaign, meaning that players will post their actions and responses to the game thread whenever they have time. The GM will respond to player posts as soon as possible. 💜 As this adventure is based off a BioWare game, it includes the potential for romance. I will always ask your permission before the NPCs make any advances.
