About the adventure
Step into the world of Krynn, a world at war. Strange humanoids hunt and prey on the weak and vulnerable, and the gods turn their gaze back upon a world in need of healing. With the War of the Lance raging, and the armies of the Goddess Takhisis on the move, the fate of every living being hangs in the balance. Immerse yourself in the Solamnic region of Kalaman, where the conflict is fierce. Join forces with other brave adventurers and set out on a perilous journey, resisting the Red Dragon Army and its advances. 🌹 The knight's sword, a righteous flame, 🌑 The mage's spells, a tempest in its frame, 🛡️ Each defender, a bulwark of hope, 🐉 Fighting for Kalaman, against the dragon's choke. Character backstories will tie heavily into the narrative. They will be a part of the story and sidequests. This play-by-post D&D 5E campaign will be played asynchronously on Discord. No prior experience with Dungeons & Dragons 5E or play-by-post games is required. The game will utilize Discord, D&D Beyond, and Owlbear Rodeo. The GM (Enigma) has experience running D&D 5E and freeform play-by-post games. Known for crafting detailed and immersive responses, the GM's style ensures a rich and engaging game experience. He tends to write long posts at least once a day, with smaller posts in between. 🍷 Discord: https://discord.gg/rpAQKpuWN2 🕯️ Art by Dreams You may play a 2024-build character, or 2014-build character! The choice is up to you, and we have both options.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with the Avrae bot. This means that posts will be made throughout the week; it's to the pace of the group. 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, D&D Beyond, the in-Discord dice bot, or your own dice. ✅ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ ✅ Join D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/ ✅ Link your D&D Beyond account to Discord: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account As far as storing your gestalt character, you have options. ✅ You can use two D&D Beyond sheets. ✅ I can set up a forge that will roll to the Discord to store them. ✅ You can use DiceCloud (if you know how to use it). 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/rpAQKpuWN2
