No problem. No experience with Play-by-Post? Even better. You’ll learn everything as we go, step by step. 🌟 Step into Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, a world where dragons rule the skies, kingdoms teeter on the brink of war, and the Knights of Solamnia fight to uphold honor and courage. Evil spreads across Krynn under the dark influence of Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness – and if her schemes succeed, the world will fall into shadow. ⚔️🐉 With DRAW STEEL, every action feels tactical, cinematic, and heroic. Your hero isn’t just a number on a sheet – every choice, every combat move, every clever strategy matters. Will you strike from the shadows? Unleash elemental fury? Lead a charge of allies into the heart of the enemy? DRAW STEEL lets you feel the epic stakes of the battlefield and the thrill of heroic fantasy. Here’s what to expect in this Play-by-Post adventure: 1–3 long posts daily from me, your GM, giving vivid descriptions of scenes, battles, and events. Each post will immerse you in the story, leaving space for your hero’s decisions, tactics, and roleplaying. Tactical combat and cinematic storytelling – DRAW STEEL’s system is perfect for epic duels, daring maneuvers, and heroic moments. Rich lore and iconic Dragonlance locations – explore the plains, forests, and fortresses of Ansalon, confront dragons, and interact with famous factions like the Knights of Solamnia, the Solamnic High Council, and rebel forces. Dynamic storytelling – the choices your hero makes will shape not only your personal story, but also the course of the war against Takhisis. Guided, beginner-friendly play – you’ll never feel lost. Step-by-step tutorials, tips, and feedback are built into every phase of the game. This campaign is perfect for: New players who want to experience a full, epic TTRPG without needing prior knowledge. Fans of tactical, cinematic fantasy who want to feel the thrill of battlefield heroics. Story lovers who want to explore Dragonlance lore and craft their own legend. Players who love heroic decision-making and epic consequences, saving Krynn from Takhisis’ forces before it’s too late. 🌟 Your adventure starts here: immerse yourself in epic battles, heroic stories, and tactical challenges – all in a Play-by-Post format that’s easy to follow, deeply engaging, and completely free for your first week.

About me
Welcome, Gents, Ladies, Adventurers, Heroes-to-Be! Ahoy, brave souls! Pull up a chair, sharpen your wits, and maybe your swords, because you’re about to step into worlds where steel clashes, magic burns, and choices echo through legend. I’m your GM, and my go-to system is DRAW STEEL — fast, cinematic, and heroic, perfect for players who want epic adventures without drowning in rules. Why You’ll Love My Games: Cinematic Action: Battles feel alive, every strike counts, and heroic moments leap off the page (or Discord, or Roll20, wherever we meet). Tactical Fun: Strategy matters, but clever thinking beats number-crunching every time. Accessible & Exciting: New to roleplaying? No problem. DRAW STEEL gets you into the action immediately. Veteran? Prepare to see your favorite adventures in a bold, fresh way. My Style: I mix story, strategy, and stakes with a dash of humor — yes, even while your party narrowly survives the latest goblin ambush. Think heroic cinematic fantasy meets old-school excitement: dragons, dungeons, and dramatic choices that make every player feel like a star. I care about party cohesion, teamwork, and moments that make everyone at the table (or screen) laugh, cheer, or groan in disbelief. Whether you’re a first-time adventurer or a seasoned hero who’s walked the Sword Coast a thousand times, my tables are welcoming, fast-paced, and designed for maximum fun. You’ll spend less time learning rules and more time living your hero’s story — daring feats, clever tricks, and epic moments included. So, polish your boots, check your potions, and prepare your wits — the dice are ready, the story is waiting, and your legend is about to begin. Add me on Discord: gmbear, and let’s draw steel together.

Homebrew rules
🏰 House Rules – Dragonlance PBP To make this adventure fun, cinematic, and heroic, we use a few adaptations to the setting of Krynn and the DRAW STEEL system. These house rules are designed to enhance storytelling, tactical combat, and the epic feel of the Dragonlance module, while keeping the game easy to follow for new players. ✨ Key Points: Adapted setting elements – Some locations, factions, and events are tweaked to make them fit the DRAW STEEL cinematic style and allow for more player-driven heroic moments. Simplified rules where needed – Combat and abilities are handled so everyone can jump in, even without prior DRAW STEEL experience. Heroic flair – Certain actions and abilities may have cinematic bonuses or effects to make your hero feel epic in the story. Safety & comfort – Boundaries, lines, and veils are respected. Everyone’s experience is important, and we discuss sensitive content if needed. Pacing adjustments – 1–3 long posts daily keep the adventure flowing smoothly while giving players room to react and roleplay. These house rules preserve the essence of Dragonlance while making the experience more cinematic, tactical, and heroic, ensuring that each player can shine as a true hero in the fight against Takhisis. ⚔️🐉
