One for Hire, a Solo PbP
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The MageHunters are one of the most well-known and reputable mercenary guilds on the continent. Granted, it’s been ages since they formed as a group hunting down the rogue mages that were plaguing the land, but the name stuck. The tales of the MageHunters, their deeds, and their bravery are sung in the taverns and told as tales to children, and at long last, you have joined their number! As a new member of the guild, you’ll be sent out, alone or with a group (of NPCs) to handle contracts, and as you gain more experience, you’ll face harder and harder contracts. But why a solo PbP? The biggest challenge in PbP is not the monsters you face, it’s the time you spend waiting for the other players. This game will be run solo so you can set the pace. However, I’m listing several sessions of this game and will have a group chat channel for all players so that those who also like the social aspect will have that outlet and the chance to request adventuring together for a quest or long-term adventure if you wish.

I've been in a game run by Sean for several months now. Sean is incredibly consistent and regular, providing GMing for the game almost every single day. If you're a fairly active and regular player looking for a PbP game where you can engage just about every day of the week, Sean is rock solid.

Sean makes fun and creative NPCs and settings. All the NPCs felt like different people. He'll also incorporate your character's backstory into the story if you give him one. I felt like I had a lot of different choices for how the story could go. He's very patient with explaining rules too.

He’s a very fun game master! He’s great at story telling and has a knack for drawing people into his stories. Highly recommend!

I've played in-person Pathfinder with Suburban Dad. He is amazing! He really paid attention to my backstory and weaved it into game play seamlessly. I was brand new and he walked me thru step-by-step and was very patient with my million questions, and also when I couldn't remember the answers to those million questions and I asked again. In those games the story world that he came up with was really immersive and we had a lot of fun! He is a very talented game master! Highly recommend him!

Sean is a great DM/GM. He has great characters and models for players how to be in character. Any table with Sean will be fun one.
Winter Lee
Sean has this ability to make anyone feel safe and welcome. He’s so supportive and just genuinely kind. I never feel pressured or nervous when I’m at his tables.

How to prepare
I will check the Discord multiple times per day and the rate of posting will be up to you.
What I provide
We will primarily use Discord for posting our adventures. However, I will also provide maps and NPC images on a Google Slideshow so that visual aspect is also addressed. I check the Discord multiple times per day, so the game will move at the rate you choose.
Gameplay details
Session 0 will be an important time for character building as well as establishing any triggers so that I can ensure that the game is set up in a way that works best for you. As a play-by-post, we'll have the opportunity for daily interaction, so if anything ever stretches beyond your comfort zone, I'm always happy to reroute an adventure as the main goal is for everyone to enjoy the adventure rather than me telling the story in a scripted way.

How will character creation work
We will use the 27 point buy for character creation and we begin at level 1. As you level up, I'm perfectly fine with multiclassing, so you can plan future levels with that in mind if you wish. Character creation begins as soon as you join the Discord and you'll have me as a resource for questions concerns. You are also welcome to use whichever digital character sheet you choose or even just a Google Doc if that's your preference.
