About the adventure
Dyvers, the City of Sails, thrives on trade, coin, and cunning. Its canals, dikes, and docks bustle with merchants, mercenaries, and smugglers, but beneath the glitter of wealth lies a darker truth. In the alleys and flooded crypts, shadows stir: cults whisper of ancient powers, guilds vie for dominance, and daggers trade hands as often as coins. This is a play-by-post game is set in the classic Dungeons and Dragons realm of Greyhawk but played using the GURPS rules.

About me
I have been playing and GMing since I got my first DnD Basic set back in grade school (81'). Switched to GURPS in junior high ('87) and have been going strong ever since. I LOVE GMing and do so as often as I can: online (MapTool, Roll20, Foundry, Discord), in-person, and at game cons (GenCon, GameHoleCon, and DieCon). Can't wait to play!

Creating your character
Characters will be built on 150/-25 points and should be built in GCS. I am happy to work with players to develop characters that will fit the setting and game.

What Jason GURPS brings to the table
I run online and play-by-post roleplaying games that are approachable, immersive, and fun for players of all experience levels. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned gamer, I’ll guide you through the GURPS rules, bring the unique setting to life with vivid description, and balance preparation with improvisation to keep the story moving. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, engaged, and hopefully walk away with an adventure you’ll remember long after the session ends. As a PbP game, I will strive for daily GM posting or as needed based on player engagement.
