[Play by Post] Odyssey of the Dragonlords ๐ฒ ๐ถ๏ธ
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
๐ Navigate the seas of Thylea ๐ก๏ธ Build alliances, navigate mythical politics ๐ Confront the wrath of gods, titans, and dragons ๐ฅ Ignite hope in a land overshadowed by prophecy ๐ถ๏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. โ๏ธ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/FkVeU7vuqZ
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
โRoleplay Heavyโ games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
โRule of Coolโ emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a systemโs rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Characters so far: โญ Artificer (the Dragon Slayer) โญ TBD!
Additional details
How to prepare
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. โ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ โ Join D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/ โ Link your D&D Beyond account to Discord: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account โ 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 - โ๏ธ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/FkVeU7vuqZ
What I provide
Enigma, your DM, provides an incredible experience, with the help of various tools about 20 years of experience with text roleplay. His games include: ๐น Working one-on-one with you to weave your character backstory in and make this a unique experience. ๐น 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. ๐น 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. ๐น 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). ๐น Customized heroic rivals that will try to oppose the party at every turn. ๐น Additional monsters from Kobold Press, Level Up 5E, Monster Manual Expanded, 2CGaming, etc ๐น Custom (homebrew) content and systems from the DM and third-parties. ๐น Pre-generated characters or concepts, in case you do not wish to create your own Dreams will bring: ๐น Their knowledge of Avrae VTT, which they will teach players wanting to learn ๐น Their resources, which they share with Enigmatic
