About the adventure
Quickstone. The up-and-coming mining town everyone has been talking about, on Breland's western frontier. A chance for a fresh start! A new beginning in the wake of the Last War! A place of golden opportunities for merchants and adventurers alike! But even in this remote town, danger rears its ugly head. Who knows what the miners will uncover, if they dig too greedily or too deep...? This game uses the the Play-by-Post format. Play-by-Post has been around for almost as long as D&D has, and is best suited to those of us who just do not have the time to play a full session every week. With Play-by-Post, you play to your schedule in a relaxed, fun and safe online environment.

About me
Hi! I'm Dave, an actor and avid D&D player from Bonnie Scotland. I've been playing 5e for 5 years now, and while I've grown very fond of the system, I've dipped my toe in other games such as Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart and Kids on Bikes! I generally focus on narrative over mechanical crunch, but my top priority at any table is the enjoyment and engagement of the players. The story can't be told without you or the dice - are you ready to begin your next chapter?
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
- We will be using the 2024 rules/options for character creation, using DNDBeyond where possible. - Characters start at level 1. - Stats generated using Point Buy. - As the adventure comes from the Frontiers of Eberron book, you will be able to use class features, feats etc. from that book.
We have just unfortunately had a TPK, but will be looking to start fresh with new characters at level 3!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: 1. a Discord account, 2. a D&DBeyond account (free), and 3. an Owlbear Rodeo account (free). OPTIONAL: You may wish to read some of "Eberron: Rising from the Last War" to get a better idea of the setting. I have access to a digital copy that will be shared with players.
What Dave brings to the table
I will be using Discord as the forum for our game (text only, so no need for a camera or microphone!) I will also be using Owlbear Rodeo for battle maps, and D&DBeyond for characters. I love roleplaying and combat, though I generally favour the former. With me, there is almost always a noncombative option, and I invite my players to try anything they like to avoid unnecessary fighting. That is, if they *want* to avoid fighting... My favourite part in any game begins when a player throws caution to the wind and says, "I want to try something crazy," because you know you're in for a treat! I embrace the Rule of Cool whenever possible, especially in character-driven moments, to encourage players to push the boat out and give it a shot. Just hope that the dice are in your favour too! I aim to post twice a day to advance the story, while also being around to answer any queries players may have. Play-by-post is a much slower format than face-to-face games, and I want to remedy this as best I can.
Homebrew rules
- Potions of Healing can be drank as either an Action or Bonus Action. If you choose to do so as an Action, you regain the maximum amount of healing from that potion.

Safety
How Dave creates a safe table
I will be providing a RPG Safety Tools checklist of themes for players to fill out anonymously. As your Dungeon Master, it is my duty and responsibility to ensure everyone has the best time possible in a safe environment. Communication and trust are key - if there is anything that is making you uncomfortable in the game, I will do my best to fix and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
