About the adventure

Calling all brave souls and daring adventurers! Step into a vibrant, high-fantasy realm teeming with danger, mystery, and endless possibilities. In this Play-By-Post style game, you’ll join a band of hopeful heroes to explore the world of Ihelda—a land of treacherous beasts, legendary quests, and forgotten ruins waiting to be uncovered. This is no ordinary journey. Together with your party of 3-6 adventurers, you’ll take on thrilling missions from a dynamic job board, each quest ranked by difficulty (think anime-style rankings—E to S-tier!). Will you start small, tackling lesser threats to hone your skills, or dive headfirst into perilous challenges for glory and riches? The choice is yours! But this isn’t just a series of quests—it’s a story of growth, camaraderie, and discovery. Unlike traditional West Marches campaigns, your party will stick together, forging unbreakable bonds as you unravel an overarching plot that ties your fates together. Your character’s backstory and personal growth will take center stage, as you confront past mistakes, uncover hidden truths, and evolve into the hero (or anti-hero!) you’re destined to become. If you’re ready to dive into a world of danger, intrigue, and epic storytelling, grab your sword, ready your spells, and prepare to leave your mark on Ihelda. The adventure of a lifetime awaits—will you answer the call?

Additional details

How to prepare

At the start of our first session, please make sure you've read the information document and bring any ideas for your character backstory. Have a character sheet built and ready to play. If you are confused or need help, reach out to me before the game and I'd be happy to assist! We will be using dndBeyond, Roll20, and Discord. dndBeyond and Roll20 have digital dice options for those who don't have dice at home. Avrae Bot will also be on the server so that you can roll directly on the server with your character sheet for easy access! This campaign is text based, so you'll only need a computer or mobile device to play. I'll send pictures of maps as needed for those without access to a computer.

What I provide

I will be bringing detailed VTT maps for both battles and general roleplaying. I like to give a good idea to my players for what they’re able to interact with (without taking several minutes describing the whole scene for roleplay). I will also have rounded NPCs for your characters to interact with, and possibly fight! In addition, I'll be replying to posts on the discord server every day, with detailed information and incorporating NPC roleplay and responses throughout. These posts will use theater of the mind to describe the layout of areas, and have NPC's reply to questions and give information as needed.

Gameplay details

Upon signing up, there will be a short questionnaire that you'll have to fill out in direct messages. This will include listing any triggers you’d like to avoid being discussed or roleplayed, your experience, and what you expect from the game. Then, you’ll be granted access to the discord server and we’ll work on building your character and incorporating them into the world! We will be using the Luxton Technique to determine lines and veils, and use X, N, and O cards throughout when we get into more difficult or harsh roleplay scenes. My games are centered around providing a safe and fun environment, so I take triggers and content warnings seriously.

How will character creation work

All races and classes are allowed to be played. We will be using dndBeyond to create character sheets, starting at level 1. In addition to starting equipment, you’ll get any basic (nonmagical) armor of your choice, 2 potions of healing, and 500 gp. Rolling for Stats: Using dndbeyond.com you will utilize the group rolling system. Select 3 groups and roll each one on the site. Once you have rolled out all your stats, pick one and assign each number to an ability. If you roll 3 sets that have multiple 7's, 8's or 9's, I'll let you roll one more time for a total of 4 sets. For HP, we'll be doing Fixed/Average HP. All character sheets must be created on dndBeyond. If you don’t have access to content for a specific class or race, once you sign up and get added to my server I’ll send you a “campaign” link that will share my paid content with you. This way I can see your characters, and if I need to give you homebrew magic items or homebrew races, it will be much easier to set things up.
