The Hall of Two Beginnings (Play by Post)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

This is a light reskin of the Candlekeep Mysteries module, set in the homebrew world of Azura. It is made up of many small adventures intended to provide a wide range of experiences for a party. Players will be given a lot of choice as to where they'd like to go, which quest lines they'd like to tackle, and how their characters interact with the world

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.

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.

Additional details

How to prepare

Install discord and make a free DnDBeyond account. It would also be helpful to familiarize yourself with Avrae, discord's dnd bot, and its various built-in commands.

What I provide

This game will be entirely conducted over Discord, integrating DndBeyond character sheets. I will bring a wealth of knowledge about the game and the world I've created, vibrant and sensory-forward descriptions of places, NPCs, events, and environments, all of the content sharing necessary to complete the module, and a whole lot of rope for my players to creatively explore their characters.

Gameplay details

I am committed to providing an open and transparent table for all to feel safe and have fun. I will conduct regular check-ins with players to assess how they are feeling and their comfortability with the game's content. I refuse to display any type of reference to extreme racial inequity, slavery dynamic, or the glorification of right-wing, fascistic ideals. This is, through and through, a progressive and inclusive table.

How will character creation work

I will work with each player to create their characters and guide them with ideas that I think will match the tone of the story. Character creation will occur over discord, as will the rest of the game, so a traditional session 0 will not take place. Instead, I will hold 1 0n 1 sessions with each player as they create their characters to introduce them into the world and try out a few options before having to commit 100%.
