Wait, We're the Heroes? a PbP Adventure

How to prepare

As a play-by-posy, the expectation is to check the Discord daily. Granted, there may be times when posting is not necessary (waiting for someone else to do something or being unconscious in a combat scenario, for example), but it's more fun for all involved if we all work together to keep the narrative moving along.

What I provide

We will be using Discord and I'll also be providing a Google Slideshow for maps and NPC images.

Gameplay details

A session 0 will be a chance to build characters and to share any triggers so we can be sure the campaign is fun for everyone. Throughout the campaign, we will utilize an open door policy so anyone, at any time, can message me to let me know if something is taking a turn that makes them uncomfortable or if a new trigger is discovered. The goal, as it should be, is for everyone to be free to have as much fun as possible by taking their lovingly crafted characters on a grand adventure in a fantasy world.

How will character creation work

Your characters are commoners in the town of Valenward. As such, you'll figure out what role they filled there (blacksmith, tavern wench, beggar, scribe, etc.). As your characters begin as commoners, not heroes, we will use a stat list of 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, and 8. It's your choice which stats to put the numbers in. Additionally, you'll always have advantage on rolls for one skill based on your character's background (so a hunter of wild game, for example, could logically have advantage on survival while a beggar might choose persuasion). Starting equipment will simply employ logic based on what sort of things your character would have based on their place in society. As part of the backstory, you'll need to figure out how and why your character is one of the few to know this mysterious wizard who is the town's protector.
