The Druthmont Academy for Adventurers PbP DND 5E
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The Druthmont Academy for Adventurers: where heroes become legends. Druthmont has created some of the finest warriors the continent has known. You…are not them. You’re trainees, and as such, occasionally get sent on minor quests that the “real heroes” cannot be bothered with. In this campaign, you begin as young heroes-in-training at the prestigious Druthmont Academy. The campaign itself will alternate between moments at the academy meeting other trainees, doing training activities and exercises, and going on quests. The quests will, of course, increase in difficulty the more and more you level up. Leveling up, including multiclassing, will be handled as training at the academy so it’s an immersive level up instead of just randomly getting new skills. As this will all be managed through the academy, different members will be chosen for the various quests and you’ll have the opportunity to play with many and multiple different party members throughout the campaign, and of course, Druthmont does happen to be in the heart of a city, so why wouldn’t young students go out and experience the local shops, meet the townsfolk, and have a rowdy time at any of the local taverns. Adventure and more await you at Druthmont Academy! Enroll today!

Sean makes fun and creative NPCs and settings. All the NPCs felt like different people. He'll also incorporate your character's backstory into the story if you give him one. I felt like I had a lot of different choices for how the story could go. He's very patient with explaining rules too.
Sean (Suburban Dad Gaming)
Having an awesome time in PbP games with SuburbanDad! His creativity is fantastic and the characters are written/delivered really well from villains to NPCs!

He’s a very fun game master! He’s great at story telling and has a knack for drawing people into his stories. Highly recommend!

I've played in-person Pathfinder with Suburban Dad. He is amazing! He really paid attention to my backstory and weaved it into game play seamlessly. I was brand new and he walked me thru step-by-step and was very patient with my million questions, and also when I couldn't remember the answers to those million questions and I asked again. In those games the story world that he came up with was really immersive and we had a lot of fun! He is a very talented game master! Highly recommend him!

Sean is a great DM/GM. He has great characters and models for players how to be in character. Any table with Sean will be fun one.
Winter Lee
Sean has this ability to make anyone feel safe and welcome. He’s so supportive and just genuinely kind. I never feel pressured or nervous when I’m at his tables.

How to prepare
You will need daily access to Discord. The expectation is daily checking of the Discord, but no requirement for daily posting if you have nothing you wish to add to the narrative at that moment (for example, if your character is unconscious but stable, there is no need to post, "I continue laying there unconscious.")
What I provide
As a play-by-post, our sessions will go on throughout each week. The game will take place in multiple channels of a Discord. One will be for the academy and others will serve for exploring town or going on adventures. Effectively, it will be a single game in which multiple storylines play out at once. While the Discord will house the text streams for the gaming, I'll also supplement the experience with Google Slides to give visuals for NPCs, maps, items, and other things we will encounter along the way.
Gameplay details
As this will be an ongoing campaign with players coming and going and mixing and matching throughout, the open door policy will be in place to best accommodate the ongoing changes that the makeup of the party will experience.
