Dragon's Keep (short PBP campaign, RP heavy, high magic)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
There are rumors of dragons taking captives to their towers and heroes rescuing them, but when the hero’s are burned to cinders, it’s up to you and your fellow captives to discover the secrets and weakness of your captors and escape yourselves. This world is homebrew with stress on elemental magic. I stress a lot of lore, some puzzles, and high RP with low combat. I'll be integrating elements of player backstory into the existing plot. My games tend to be heartfelt, clever, and full of engaged NPCs and external elements. I will commit to writing at least 2k words a week for the game (it's PBP), but will often go over depending on the scene and level of engagement. My most active times are weekday afternoons. Note: My table is one that respects the preferred pronouns of others and never uses hate or derogatory speech in any context. Please do not apply for this game if you cannot respect those rules.
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.
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.

How will character creation work
I have a session 0 doc that will go over character creation and am active on the server to answer questions or jump on a voice call. We go over character backstory before starting the game, and there is a lore doc that can help situate you and your character in the world. We'll be starting at level 3 and going to around level 8 or so.
