Trials of Tamriel: A Private Duet/Solo PBP

Creating your character

🔹 Character creation details can be discussed and changed! This is YOUR game after all. This is just a basis on what I typically allow. 🔹 I will be using Discord to help walk you through the character creation process, but please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help or have any questions. This game is open to new players, and I am happy to answer any questions and provide guidance. I also allow homebrew (custom content) and third-party content, with the disclaimer that if something is too powerful, we may need to adjust it to maintain fairness between players. I am willing to work with players to help them create the characters they want, including custom races or other special abilities. Here are some additional details about character creation: ✅ We will be using several Homebrews that provide The Elder Scrolls in 5e. We will discuss more once you sign up. ✅ Level 1 start ✅ Free feat at Level 1 (plus any other Feats gained) ✅ Heroic Array: 18, 17, 16, 15, 13, 11 ✅ Maximum HP ✅ Starting Gear ✅ Be thinking about backstory and what kind of Hero or Villain you want to be! What era of Tamriel do you want to have the story take place in and what is the starting region you want to experience? Skyrim? Morrowind? Daggerfall? The choice is up to you!

Preparing for the session

Once you sign up, message me on Discord. 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). =============== PLOT: Expanded - This story can begin in any of the traditional Elder Scrolls Paths but the Protagonist of that game doesn't exist or you take their place. You can also choose to go down a more Villainous path and we may discuss that as well. This does not mean I discourage you from choosing a different era or region to start in! This story will be yours, but I recommend it be within reason and you will start from nothing and become great via exploring and adventuring! Feel free to reach out with your unique ideas that you want to come up with.

What GM Ben brings to the table

Ben, your GM, provides an incredible experience, with the help of various tools from 10+ years of experience with text roleplay. His games include: 🔹 Working one-on-one with you to weave your character backstory in and make this a unique experience. 🔹 Adding his own twist to the story and accounting for character actions and interactions. This is not a static world, and the echoes of the party's choices will be seen. 🔹 Giving characters boons and magic items and scaling up monsters to make combat engaging and challenging. Monsters will not hold back, but the DM will root for your success. 🔹 Creating NPCs with motivations and personalities, who may help or hinder the player characters. Maintain friendships, rivalries, make enemies or even potentially lovers (with consent). 🔹 Customized heroic rivals that will try to oppose the party at every turn. 🔹 Custom (homebrew) content and systems for The Elder Scrolls from the DM and third-parties. 🔹 Pre-generated characters or concepts, in case you do not wish to create your own.
