About the adventure

Deep beneath the windswept moors lies Barrowmaze, a sprawling, accursed labyrinth of crumbling barrows and forgotten tombs, where the dead do not rest and ancient evils stir. Adventurers who brave its shadowed halls seek gold, relics, and glory—but most find only the cold embrace of death. The deeper you delve, the stronger the darkness grows, pulsing with necromantic power and guarded by restless undead. Will you uncover the secrets buried within... or become just another name scratched onto a shattered tombstone?

About me

Hello there, My name is Nathaniel but you can just call me Obi. I've been an avid player of D&D 5e for going on a Decade at this point, and a GM for nearly 3 years with several long term campaigns lasting well into the months or even years in some cases. Come and join me on a myriad of new and exciting adventures only limited by the scale of our imaginations! LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent Friendly Open for Custom Booking, just reach out and we can work out the details of your Dream Campaign together~!

Character creation

Creating your character

We will go over the details of character creation together on my discord server, and the resources required will be listed in the server as well. You will all be starting off as Level 1 Adventurers within the OSR system coming to delve the dungeon together as a group.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Make sure you have a Discord Account, a Functional Keyboard, and at least a handful of replies in you per day. You do not need to write 10 paragraphs per reply, just make sure to scale what you're typing to what would be appropriate for the situation at hand. If you need to quickly reply to something happening, you might only need 1-2 lines. But if you're trying to pull off some more complicated maneuver, please be detailed in how you write, because what you say and how much effort you put into it might effect the outcome.

What Obi-Wan brings to the table

I have been a Text RPer for over a decade at this point and feel confident in my descriptive writing skills in truly setting the scene to the best of my ability. In addition I will be sharing music options frequently that I recommend listening to during certain scenes or floors of the dungeon. Even if we are not in a Voice Chat, I still do my upmost to ensure my players feel engaged and invested in any scene I put to screen. I will be using the Tupperbox Discord Bot for the purposes of making each character I play easily identifiable at a quick glance and to avoid having confusion between who or what said a given line in a post. This campaign will definitely reward Creative and Imaginative solutions to problems, so it more so leans towards the Rule Of Cool than a strict Rules As Written style. Keep your wits about you and play things intelligently and who knows what could happen!

Safety

How Obi-Wan creates a safe table

As a GM, It is part of my job to make sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and is enjoying the experience of my campaigns. I check in on people at the end of every session, make sure to take at least one break over the course of it, and do my best to make all my players feel welcome and allowed to speak up at any time if something is making them uncomfortable or if they need a moment to collect themselves. My session 0s are primarily designed to help get people accustomed to the system I'm using if they need it, introducing people to each other to make sure the group will work well together, and running over all the important details on each player's comfort levels. In addition to a dedicated Session 0 with the entire group, I always do my best to answer any questions sent to me in private between or before games, and help develop character ideas to the fullest. This game will be run through a Play By Post Format, so my players are always encouraged to speak up if something is happening during a scene that makes them feel uncomfortable.
