Hoard of the Dragon Queen: Play by Post adventure.
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Fight the War Against Draconic Oppression in this Adventure for the World's Greatest Roleplaying Game. In an audacious bid for power the Cult of the Dragon, along with its dragon allies and the Red Wizards of Thay, seek to bring Tiamat from her prison in the Nine Hells to Faerun. To this end, they are sweeping from town to town, laying waste to all those who oppose them and gathering a hoard of riches for their dread queen. The threat of annihilation has become so dire that groups as disparate as the Harpers and Zhentarim are banding together in the fight against the cult. Never before has the need for heroes been so desperate. Play by post is a fantastic way to play in a Fantasy adventure where you have not got the time to sit with a group on a weekly basis. Simply post and then read the story as it evolves and you have the time. This adventure will be a play by text asynchronous adventure. Asynchronous games are played as and when people have the time to play and no more than one person has to be online at the same time. By joining the group you agree to post at least once a week, more is better.
Game style
Play By Post
Play By Post refers to a game in which players interact with the story through messages and text posts. These games are typically played asynchronously throughout the week, which gives players time to consider what they want to do next, and engage with the story at their own pace.
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.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” 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.
