By All the Gods: A PbP Adventure for Clerics
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Grab your holy symbol and prepare to represent your god as our group of clerics embark on an adventure that has them competing with each other to gain the role of mentor and advisor a young nobleman. This adventure brings in different twist as the rivals the characters face will not be hordes of Goblins or dragons, but each other. Competition will be in the form of skill challenges, problem solving, and displaying prowess in staged combat, but no actual player versus player combat. Does your servant of a higher power have what it takes to win the competition?

How to prepare
Daily access to Discord will be expected, and while I'd prefer to have every player check the PbP at least once per day, there will definitely be times when posting is not necessary, and of course, life does happen, so RL always trumps gaming and we'll keep the adventure moving, but more slowly, to allow players more time for when sickness happens, life throws extra things into our juggling routine, or adulting is just hard. The expectation in these instances is just healthy communication so we, as a group, know when we need to slow down for you.
What I provide
We will play via Discord (with an Avrae bot for those who prefer that) and I will be providing maps and visual images through a Google Slideshow to help everyone be on the same page for what we're seeing and what the space is. This will include maps for social interactions as well as combat and there will be images for NPCs.
Gameplay details
Our session 0 will be for crafting characters (especially for anyone who wants to try to create a non-cleric or multiclass that fits the setting) as well as being a chance to share if anyone has specific triggers that we'll need to avoid in-game.

How will character creation work
Clerics are the expected class for this adventure, though a paladin or other religious themed/appropriate classes may be allowed with GM approval. Players are to create 3rd level characters using either the 2014 or 2024 DND Rulebooks. 3rd party material can be used as long as I am notified ahead of time and have a chance to look it over to OK it. Players are to provide characters sheets to me ahead of time. You will have the option of posting these on DND Beyond, but it is not required. You are free to use whichever character sheet template you prefer. Remember, your character is there to represent their deity, but also there as an individual, so don't be afraid to put some thought into why the church chose to send them: are they the best and brightest, the annoyance they wanted to be rid of, or was there just no one else available at the moment? Don't be afraid to have fun fleshing that out. It will also be significant since each player's journey begins with the solo journey to the keep of the noble lord.
