Solo D&D Game [PBP]
A play-by-post, one-on-one D&D campaign. Your choice, your rules, your story!
About the adventure
Are you searching for a truly immersive narrative) experience where your character isn't just part of the story, but the very center of it? Do you crave deep roleplaying, meaningful choices, and a narrative that revolves around your character's unique journey? Perhaps you’d like bespoke, one-on-one (1-on-1) Play-by-Post (PBP) adventure meticulously crafted for players who value narrative depth, emotional resonance, and personalized storytelling. If you're looking for a solo TTRPG campaign that adapts to you, then you've found it. Your game masters are Eni and/or Dreams (a dual GM experience, or the game master you vibe best with). Our style is focused on facilitating deep, heavy roleplaying and weaving intricate, character-driven narratives. We delve into your character's inner world: their motivations, fears, ambitions, and emotional responses are paramount. ╭──────────.★..─╮ Expect opportunities to: ╰─..★.──────────╯ 🔹 Watch your character grow and change in response to the world and events. 🔹 Engage in political intrigue, unravel bespoke mysteries designed specifically for the story, enjoy moments of genuine humor and lighthearted romps, or navigate the tension of dark fantasy and horror scenarios. 🔹 While challenges exist, combat encounters emphasize storytelling, character reactions, and the emotional stakes involved, rather than being purely mechanical exercises. We make combat *mean* something within the narrative. This is *your* adventure. While D&D 5e serves as our flexible foundation (often adapted for various settings; other systems are available, just ask!), the possibilities for story and setting are vast and chosen collaboratively with you: 🔹 Choose from just about any genre. High-Fantasy, Low-Fantasy, Survival, Horror, Steampunk, Modern, and more! Play any module you prefer, or go completely homebrew (bespoke). 🔹 Your backstory will be heavily implemented. Your character's history and personal goals aren't just flavor text; they are fundamental plot hooks and driving forces within the campaign. The story unfolds *because* of who your character is. 🔹 We will work together to ensure the setting details, key figures, and overarching themes resonate perfectly with the story you want to experience. 🔹 Interested in exploring a dynamic from multiple perspectives? We allow for you to play multiple player characters within your solo campaign. ╭──────────.★..─╮ Logistics & Flow ╰─..★.──────────╯ 🔹Format: Fully asynchronous Play-by-Post hosted on a Discord server. Post when you have the time and mental energy for roleplaying. 🔹Tools: We utilize Discord for communication and dice rolling, D&D Beyond for accessible character sheets, and integrated grid + token support (often via Roll20 or similar tools linked in Discord) for visual clarity during exploration and combat when needed.

Players say this GM is great at:
Inclusive
Creativity
Storytelling
A great choice if your interested in play by post games. I am currently in multiple of their games and have not been disappointed in any of them. They have been willing to listen to my ramblings for character ideas and work with me to figure out how to implement my ramblings into the game.
I had never done a play by post game before, so I was nervous when I first started. Dreams and Eni made it so as soon as I started, I was hooked. Incredible when it comes to working on characters and weaving their story into the game, making combat interesting with the different format, as well as making each NPC feel alive and interesting. A fantastic writer who allows for so much interaction and the chance to allow people to have creative solutions to the game, while allowing everyone a chance to shine. If you are nervous about joining a play by post game, this is the one you should join. Incredible writing, interactions, and attention to detail. I eagerly await each post, ready for more.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with the Avrae bot. This means that posts will be made throughout the week; it's to the pace of the group. All playing will be done by text, making things accessible for those who aren't able to use voice. I will update at least daily. You will get to experience the story and the roleplay, while also learning about--or getting more experience with--play-by-post format and Avrae. You do not need to know Avrae, or any of the other tools. I can teach you. As long as I have access to your character sheet, you can roll using Avrae, Roll20, D&D Beyond, the in-Discord dice bot, or your own dice. ✅ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ ✅ Join D&D Beyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com/ ✅ Link your D&D Beyond account to Discord: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account ✅ Pacing & Post Length: Let us know your preference. Dreams specializes in multiple, short posts daily; Eni specializes in longform. Once you sign up, message me. I will link you to the Discord (you can also find it below). From there, we can get you prepared. The game itself will start once everyone is ready (you will not be charged until we begin). ⚔️ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/jXBSTFgznk
What Dreams & Eni brings to the table
Enigma, your DM, provides an incredible experience, with the help of various tools about 20 years of experience with text roleplay. His games include: 🔹 Working one-on-one with you to weave your character backstory in and make this a unique experience. 🔹 Adding his own twist to the story and accounting for character actions and interactions. This is not a static world, and the echoes of the party's choices will be seen. 🔹 Giving characters boons and magic items and scaling up monsters to make combat engaging and challenging. Monsters will not hold back, but the DM will root for your success. 🔹 Creating NPCs with motivations and personalities, who may help or hinder the player characters. Maintain friendships, rivalries, make enemies or even potentially lovers (with consent). 🔹 Customized heroic rivals that will try to oppose the party at every turn. 🔹 Additional monsters from Kobold Press, Level Up 5E, Monster Manual Expanded, 2CGaming, etc 🔹 Custom (homebrew) content and systems from the DM and third-parties. 🔹 Pre-generated characters or concepts, in case you do not wish to create your own Dreams will bring: 🔹 Their knowledge of Avrae VTT, which they will teach players wanting to learn 🔹 Their resources, which they share with Enigmatic 🔹 A faster paced RP with shorter posts Want both GMs? Just ask!
