About the adventure
So, you've decided to become an adventurer. Perhaps it is desperation that has caused you to take up the mantle. Maybe you're afflicted by a need for money -- fast -- with no other, semi-honorable way to procure it. Or perhaps you long for glory in the shadows of the greats, with mountains of coins and tales sung of your honor laden in your dreams. Either way, you've taken the plunge. In your hands is your newly-stamped Adventurer's Contract, and lodged in your gaze is the greasiest gnome in the land. With his hair caked flat and stiff against his head, and his finger and thumb stroking his foul chin thoughtfully, he considers you carefully. "Yuh, o-kay," he says after a long moment. "Single adventurer, fresh ink onna contract, and ya need yer first job. Got somethin' right here in town for ya. Rats." Rats? you wonder. "Yuh, rats," he says, as if reading your mind. "Get big from the Source 'round here. Need stickin' now and then. Go stick the rats in Mr. Huxtable's basement. Five silver, pretty fair deal if'n ya ask me. Stick 'em good, get paid, and then ya pick yer own jobs. Deal? Deal. Get goin'." /// GENERAL This is a singleplayer play-by-post campaign with the DM. It takes place in my custom DnD setting which has been in play since 2018. Posts will be shared via a dedicated Discord, with any combat and dice-rolling taking place asynchronously in roll20. A separate channel will be available for meta discussion of the story if desired. PACING/POST EXPECTATIONS The DM and player will respond back and forth, with the length of DM posts determined by the scenario. Minimum of one post per day (assuming the player has posted something to respond to). More as the DM is available. Combat can either by played out longform in the same format as regular play, with each turn narrated, or scheduled for a quick resolution with a long post describing the whole combat. SPECIAL NOTES This setting is the living, breathing setting that I run all of my games in. All player characters who have ever played in this setting have left an indelible ink on the world itself. By playing in this setting, you get to participate in an ever-evolving, responsive world, in which your creation will live on forever.

About me
Hi, I'm Sloan. Really, that's my name. I'm an easygoing and friendly DM who likes tactical combat, meaningful choices, and good sportsmanship. I'm very approachable for new players and love to help newbies discover the magic of the hobby. At the same time, old grognards who like quality classic dungeon diving will find plenty of deep gaming to immerse in. I run efficient, dense sessions. I prioritize fairness, coherent stories, fun, and a good attitude. I value players who have the same priorities.

Sloan is the best DM anyone could ask for! He’s adaptable and creates an environment which fosters independence and creativity. His storytelling is incredible and he is able to guide his groups without railroading or having a heavy hand. He offers aid when necessary on the rules and gives guidance on how to proceed if there are questions. And again, the storytelling and ambience he creates is unmatched!

This man has run fun and amazing games with a good story, great characters and twists. His attention to detail and honesty on encounters has left for great memories and stories I still tell today. "Tubby?!" It was with this taunt that I was impaled by a minotaur guardian where i thought it was over but another player came to my rescue. I loved the games Sloan ran...
Kimberly Thompson
Sloan is an incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, fun, patient and creative GM. I was new to tabletop gaming and he made it such an inviting and exciting experience. He takes such great care in crafting compelling storylines and is a fair, but challenging guide through the intricate settings he creates. I honestly never thought I would enjoy gaming in this way, but thanks to his style of GMing I am hooked for life. You won’t regret joining in on one of his campaigns, and whether you’re a beginner like I was, or a seasoned player, he has something to offer to further and enrich your gaming experience. He fosters a safe, fun and inclusive atmosphere for all. He takes great pride in his work and honestly I just feel privileged to have sat through multiple games of his at this point.

Sloan is a phenomenal GM, always willing to work with players to make what they're envisioning for their character a reality. Fun NPCs, a full world, and tense combats await. I will also personally attest to Sloan's ability to create an inclusive environment, as playing a queer character in Sloan's game helped me to open up about my own queerness.

Excellent DM. Fair, charismatic and quick thinking in difficult situations. Creates awesome, fleshed out NPC's and does amazing voices for all of his characters.
Chisaith
Sloan has been playing and DMing for a long time. Great preparation. His voices are far reaching and very enjoyable. I especially like how he makes sure every person at the table gets screen time. Role playing is highly encouraged and often rewarded.
