Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to Krynn, a land steeped in tragedy yet resilient in its recovery. The scars of the Cataclysm still resonate through the realm, but hope flickers like a candle in the darkness. A new and insidious threat now looms on the horizon—the malevolent followers of Takhisis, the Dragon Queen. Emerging from the shadows, these agents of chaos harbor ill intent and seek to impose their tyrannical will upon a world already reeling from devastation. As a member of a unique fellowship, you will confront the Queen's forces head-on, facing daunting challenges and moral dilemmas along your journey. Will you rise to the occasion and defend the realm from the encroaching darkness, or will Takhisis's followers succeed in their plot to shatter the fragile peace and usher in an age of despair? Experience the rich tapestry of Krynn, where each choice you make could tip the balance between salvation and ruin. Meet vital NPCs, engage in thrilling combat, and rely on your wits as you navigate a world teetering on the brink of destruction. The fate of Krynn rests in your hands—will you answer the call to heroism and fight to save your home, or will you succumb to the shadows and let evil prevail? Adventure awaits in this epic saga of courage, loyalty, and the eternal struggle against tyranny! ✰ Inclusive table open to all! ✰ Become part of a growing and welcoming Discord community! ✰ A Play-by-Post game for learning and veteran players. ✰ Medium paced (typically 2 content centered posts per day) ✰ Player creativity encouraged!
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s 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.

Semper is incredible! I'm in a play-by-post game of his, and he is incredibly responsive. He matches your pace as a player, though I'd say he's better with players who are fast, because he is a fast writer. I've never done a live voice game with him, but with his speed, I'm sure he's great with his voice games as well, able to improv on the fly. I started in a group game, then moved to a duet when the group fell apart due to some players have IRL. We continued the narrative though! He and I are both excited for the twist that is coming with my character; he's got something planned, I can tell! His NPCs are super varied and responsive--from wholesome friends to cruel and cold enemies--and he has his own twist on the worlds he runs (in this case, Shadow of the Dragon Queen). He can appeal to a player who is very specific about the lore, or one who is very loose in the lore (and is willing to adjust for his players).

Semper is a top-notch Game Master. Incredibly responsive, flexible and accommodating to players. He provides a worthwhile experience, and I highly recommend that you give his games a try.

Sempre is a dedicated GM that gives the best PbP experience that I’ve had because he tries to be as active as possible. Have a “poetic text”, uses good illustrations and follows the “rule of cool”

If you haven’t played PbP games, don’t worry Semper is very patient with new players, especially those new to playing by post, as the mechanics are a bit different. He is extremely responsive to the game and any pings outside of gameplay. World building is expansive, brings enjoyment to the group. Lots of well-dimensioned NPCs to add flavor.

If Semper is offering a game you are interested in—do not hesitate: go for it! We are in a published campaign, and he makes it seem as though it is his own. He does a great job giving each time for RP while moving the story along. Balancing things so all characters can act, chip in, do something… Very enjoyable!
