About the adventure
First week is Free. You can join this Play by Post game at any point because it is episodic, lots of entry points, and you join with the same number of experience points as the other players. This game is set in the Old World of the Warhammer system, using the brand new Warhammer Old World Roleplaying system. You were based in Talagaad, a river port town on the edge of Talabheim. But a dwarf courier has gone missing, and he was carrying an important artifact. Your missing is to go find him - or if he's dead, find that artifact, and take it to the Dwarf King. This adventure is an asynchronous play-by-post adventure. Asynchronous games are played as and when people have the time to play and no more than one person has to be online at the same time. You post at times that work for you and I do the same. Play-by-post is a fantastic way to play a Fantasy adventure when you can't play online or face-to-face. Make a post and read the story as it evolves. By joining the group you agree to post at least once a week, more is better and more fun. As each player posts, the story and the characters evolve. I will tend to post one or more times per day, responsive to how often you post (you post more, I post more...) There is no specific time of the day, or day of the week, when this game is played. You post when you can (at least once per week and hopefully most days), and you can post as much as you like, and I will respond daily (up to several times per day dependent on the setting, combat or character interaction). Play-by-Post is very beginner friendly. We're just telling a story together. But what a story!! The character creation session and process is free.

Creating your character
We will do character creation over discord, either Play by Post or voice as you wish.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
This is a play by post game. We set up your character, I place your character in a setting, you tell me what you're doing, and we go from there! That's all there is to it! Well, obviously not quite. Imagination is an absolutely huge part of this game. We aren't using a virtual table top for play by post. There might be occasional maps, there might be a few illustrations or pictures, but mostly not. Like Warhammer novels about Gotrek and Felix or countless others, this is all about words, descriptions, images in YOUR mind of what they look like. A story that we will write together! The most important part of character creation in this game is your vision of who you want to be. What abilities, skills and talents they have. Their backstory. Their goals. Their aspirations. Their behaviour. Their personality. Their interactions with the large cast of characters they will encounter, please join me on discord at robin002024. I'll send you a discord server link when you join the game. Remember this game is played Play by Post, you can post any time day or night. I "combine" players who signed up for different time slots, to give us up to 5 players.
What Swords and Sorcery brings to the table
I will craft a detailed plot-line full of adventure and colour consistent with the danger and corruption of the Warhammer world. I will bring detailed written descriptions of the dark places you go, the colourful characters you meet, the vile enemies and evil villains and dreadful monsters you encounter and battle desperately and slay heroically. Pictures of enemies, locations or maps will be provided to assist with visuals.
Homebrew rules
this is a brand new system. No homebrew rules are planned but we may need to tweak the rules a little!
