About the adventure

๐ŸŒŠ Navigate the seas of Thylea ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Build alliances, navigate mythical politics ๐Ÿ‰ Confront the wrath of gods, titans, and dragons ๐Ÿ”ฅ Ignite hope in a land overshadowed by prophecy ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ Spicy roleplay allowed! Welcome to the mythical lands of Thylea, where the distinction between man and myth is more of a polite suggestion than a rule. Here, gods take casual strolls among mortals, and ancient titans loom ominously, as titans tend to do. Your journey will, of course, be legendary! Prophecy insists on it. You'll hunt down relics of unimaginable power, battle creatures that really should have gone extinct by now, and attempt to defy fate itself. Whether you succeed or simply become a cautionary tale is entirely up to you. Either way your exploits may one day be spoken of in hushed reverence... or at least exaggerated wildly in taverns. ============== This is a play-by-post D&D 5E campaign, designed to be played asynchronously on Discord. No prior experience with Dungeons & Dragons 5E or play-by-post games is required. The game will be played using Discord, D&D Beyond, and the Roll20 character vault. The GM (Enigma) has experience running D&D 5E and freeform play-by-post games. The GM likes to write detailed and thoughtful responses, which makes the game more immersive and gives them more time to prep. This means that writing sometimes takes longer, but it's worth it for a better game experience with his style. โš”๏ธ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/FkVeU7vuqZ

A great choice if your interested in play by post games. I am currently in multiple of their games and have not been disappointed in any of them. They have been willing to listen to my ramblings for character ideas and work with me to figure out how to implement my ramblings into the game.

I had never done a play by post game before, so I was nervous when I first started. Dreams and Eni made it so as soon as I started, I was hooked. Incredible when it comes to working on characters and weaving their story into the game, making combat interesting with the different format, as well as making each NPC feel alive and interesting. A fantastic writer who allows for so much interaction and the chance to allow people to have creative solutions to the game, while allowing everyone a chance to shine. If you are nervous about joining a play by post game, this is the one you should join. Incredible writing, interactions, and attention to detail. I eagerly await each post, ready for more.

The fantastic inclusiveness of backstory content, and the expanding of it in game is stunning. My character is woven into the game so wonderfully! I lovey games with Dreams and Eni!

Dreams and Enigma have been great. They are both very helpful, especially to new players. This is my 1st campaign and learning via PBP with Dreams and Enigma has been very helpful to me to learn to play in general.

The Duet PBP I have done with these two GMs are some of the best stories I have told. They are extremely detailed and active as well when it comes to posts! We post and respond to each other plenty of times each day, and they are super friendly and kind too!

Dream is a fantastic DM for new and veteran players. Their grasp of the Avrae system makes playing seamless and immersive. They're so attentive and helpful it makes playing a genuine pleasure. Look no further if you want a top notch PbP experience.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with the Avrae bot. This means that posts will be made throughout the week; it's to the pace of the group. All playing will be done by text, making things accessible for those who aren't able to use voice. I will update at least daily. You will get to experience the story and the roleplay, while also learning about--or getting more experience with--play-by-post format and Avrae. You do not need to know Avrae, or any of the other tools. I can teach you. As long as I have access to your character sheet, you can roll using Avrae, Roll20, D&D Beyond, the in-Discord dice bot, or your own dice. โœ… Download Discord: https://discord.com/ โœ… Join D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/ โœ… Link your D&D Beyond account to Discord: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account โœ… Optional: Have a Roll20 account to access the Roll20 I use for maps. Once you sign up, message me. 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). This game uses its own discord. Find the link below - โš”๏ธ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/FkVeU7vuqZ

What Dreams & Eni brings to the table

Enigma, your DM, provides an incredible experience, with the help of various tools about 20 years of experience with text roleplay. His games include: ๐Ÿ”น Working one-on-one with you to weave your character backstory in and make this a unique experience. ๐Ÿ”น 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. ๐Ÿ”น 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. ๐Ÿ”น 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). ๐Ÿ”น Customized heroic rivals that will try to oppose the party at every turn. ๐Ÿ”น Additional monsters from Kobold Press, Level Up 5E, Monster Manual Expanded, 2CGaming, etc ๐Ÿ”น Custom (homebrew) content and systems from the DM and third-parties. ๐Ÿ”น Pre-generated characters or concepts, in case you do not wish to create your own Dreams will bring: ๐Ÿ”น Their knowledge of Avrae VTT, which they will teach players wanting to learn ๐Ÿ”น Their resources, which they share with Enigmatic
