One for Hire, a Solo PbP
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The MageHunters are one of the most well-known and reputable mercenary guilds on the continent. Granted, it’s been ages since they formed as a group hunting down the rogue mages that were plaguing the land, but the name stuck. The tales of the MageHunters, their deeds, and their bravery are sung in the taverns and told as tales to children, and at long last, you have joined their number! As a new member of the guild, you’ll be sent out, alone or with a group (of NPCs) to handle contracts, and as you gain more experience, you’ll face harder and harder contracts. But why a solo PbP? The biggest challenge in PbP is not the monsters you face, it’s the time you spend waiting for the other players. This game will be run solo so you can set the pace. However, I’m listing several sessions of this game and will have a group chat channel for all players so that those who also like the social aspect will have that outlet and the chance to request adventuring together for a quest or long-term adventure if you wish.

How to prepare
I will check the Discord multiple times per day and the rate of posting will be up to you.
What I provide
We will primarily use Discord for posting our adventures. However, I will also provide maps and NPC images on a Google Slideshow so that visual aspect is also addressed. I check the Discord multiple times per day, so the game will move at the rate you choose.
Gameplay details
Session 0 will be an important time for character building as well as establishing any triggers so that I can ensure that the game is set up in a way that works best for you. As a play-by-post, we'll have the opportunity for daily interaction, so if anything ever stretches beyond your comfort zone, I'm always happy to reroute an adventure as the main goal is for everyone to enjoy the adventure rather than me telling the story in a scripted way.

How will character creation work
We will use the 27 point buy for character creation and we begin at level 1. As you level up, I'm perfectly fine with multiclassing, so you can plan future levels with that in mind if you wish. Character creation begins as soon as you join the Discord and you'll have me as a resource for questions concerns. You are also welcome to use whichever digital character sheet you choose or even just a Google Doc if that's your preference.
