Deadly Combat Encounters. 2024 Rules. Lv1-20

About the adventure

PLOT ---- You died! Such a shame as you had great potential. So much potential the gods have chosen you to prove your worthyness for a 2nd chance of life. Test you skills in battle, stretch your wits with tactics, demostrate your killing might and hold your will strong against the horrors. Will you survive to the end and get to live again. GAME PLAY --------- Your party will face a series of challenging combat encounters appropriate for your level. Each environment will be different and interactive with unique rules. Can you play them to your advantage or fall foul of events. Monsters chosen will be suitable for the setting, often with a Boss fight. After each encounter, you will gain 1 level and salvage loot. You will have the chance to buy equipment, craft items, rest and recover. Ready for the next deadly battle. Teamwork is essential, and social skills are not relevant. Most of the rules for D&D are for combat. How well do you know them? PLAY BY POST ----------------------- The whole campaign is delivered via Discord (action) and Owlbear rodeo (maps). Your DM will post at least once a day (probably more) the unfolding story, Players then post their interactions and roleplay, roll dice in D&D Beyond and Discord. And so the adventure reveals. PBP is great for people who find it hard to meet a regular schedule of games, who like to microdose on D&D daily, and who enjoy writing and getting into roleplaying. Players who really like to consider their actions and plan them out. With a mobile device, you can play anywhere - On a bus = D&D time - Standing in line for checkout = D&D time - Waiting for your grilled cheese = D&D time - Any down time = D&D time --- PLAY BY POST ACTIVITY --- PBP are slow but enjoyable. To keep things flowing for everyone, I will make a substantial post every 24-36 hours to move the game along. Between that time, I will pop into the game and answer questions and make comments for fun and help players decide their actions. I ask players if they are done in a certain scene before moving on. Players are asked to post in a similar way. Of course, we understand that sometimes life happens and you don't get the time or headspace to meet this commitment. In which case, your character can pause or be run by someone else. There can be audio summaries in Discord to help you catch up if you miss many things. An impression of time difference in PBP vs live games is 2 hours of live games is approximately 1 month PBP. Players game together happily across different life schedules and time zones.
