About the adventure

This game is run by Dreams! The Treaty of Thronehold officially ended the war four years ago. Tell that to the ghosts in the mist. You are a "salvager" (a polite term for a grave robber) operating out of the lawless boomtown of Salvation. Salvation is a place to live cheaply and chase the rumors of lost Cyran gold. You've formed a crew to head past the Gray Wall into the twisted ruins of the Mournland. The patrons say it's a standard retrieval job; the veterans say you're walking into a tomb. But if the rumors are true, there is something buried in the wreckage that is worth more than gold. Something that could reignite the war... or end it forever. ----- This is a play-by-post campaign. In a sense you'll be co-writing a Noir thriller! The text format allows us to go where live sessions may struggle. You can dive deep into your character's internal psyche, explore complex political webs, and build relationships that feel earned.

Character creation

Creating your character

I will allow any official D&D content (within reason, please flavor if it's from another setting). We have a way of wiggling in just about anything. Characters should be from Eberron. The rest is on character creation: ✅ Choose from 2014 or 2024 rules. ✅ Start at Level 2. ✅ Background feat from Level 1 (2024-style). You can customize your background. ✅ Use my custom array: 18, 17, 16, 13, 11, 8 (distribute in your choice of order) ✅ Choose an Epic Path or work with the GM to make your own. (Epic Paths are found on the Discord) ✅ Choose one uncommon and two common magic items from any WotC source. ✅ Start with starting equipment AND starting gold. ✅ You may choose from all races, classes, backgrounds, and other PC options in any officially released D&D 5e product as well as the Odyssey Player's Guide. (see below for custom/homebrew/third-party/unearthed arcana). Want to just hop in, or get inspired for a character? I will have pre-generated characters available, or I can work with you to make the character you want. ╭──────────.★..─╮ Homebrew (Custom Content) ╰─..★.──────────╯ In addition to the standard character creation rules, players are welcome to use third-party or homebrew (custom) content. Enigma only asks that you speak with him one-on-one about it. He will tweak it for the sake of balance and making the game fun and fair for all. He will also provide character ideas if needed and share a D&D Beyond compendium to aid in character creation. ╭──────────.★..─╮ Purchases ╰─..★.──────────╯ Starting gold based on level you start at. All items in PHB can be purchased at price listed, as can be spell components for spells with a gp cost listed. Additionally, you may purchase the following potions & scrolls: 🍹 Potions 🍹 🔹 Healing: 50gp 🔹 Climbing: 75gp 🔹 Animal Friendship: 100gp 🔹 Greater Healing: 100gp 🔹 Waterbreathing: 100gp 🔹 Superior Healing: 500gp 🔹 Supreme Healing: 1000gp 📜 Spell Scrolls 📜 🔹 Cantrip: 25gp 🔹 1st: 75gp 🔹 2nd: 150gp 🔹 3rd: 300gp 🔹 4th: 500gp 🔹 5th: 1000gp

What to expect

Preparing for the session

This is an asynchronous play-by-post game played by Discord with the Avrae bot for basic rolls. You will get to experience the story and the roleplay, while also learning about--or getting more experience with--play-by-post format and Avrae. ✅ Download Discord: https://discord.com/ ✅ An Eberron lore video: If you want an Eberron lore video, Pointy Hat just made one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MrlKq8zwNU Once you sign up, message me. I will link you to the Discord (you can also find it below). From there, we can get you prepared. The game itself will start once everyone is ready (you will not be charged until we begin). If you want to sign up and create your character first, then sign up once your character is created, that's fine! 🔹 Discord: https://discord.gg/jreRDc9H9G

What Dreams & Eni brings to the table

I specialize in asynchronous (roleplay throughout the week) depth. Because we aren't rushing a 4-hour slot, I curate highly detailed NPCs with their own agendas, hyper-customized plot threads that weave your backstory into the impending prophecy/characters/sidequests and a living world that reacts to your writing. I use LegendKeeper to maintain an archive of our story, ensuring your choices and discoveries are remembered and matter.

Homebrew rules

🔹Smite is NOT a bonus action, and nor is it a spell. It operates more like 2014 smite, but you can only smite once a turn. 🔹Spiritual Weapon is not concentration. 🔹Grapple is a contested Athletics/Acrobatics roll (Athletics on the end of the character). 🔹Creative writing solutions are often rewarded with mechanical advantage.

Safety

How Dreams & Eni creates a safe table

🏳️‍🌈♾️👨🏾‍🦲 This is a safe table for people of all types. Dreams is trans and queer, Enigma is LGBTQIA+, and we are both neurodivergent. We hope to make a place where all can feel accepted, regardless of race, gender, beliefs. 👨🏾‍🦲♾️🏳️‍🌈 This campaign is a play-by-post format, which means that it's heavy on roleplay but also includes challenging combat and exploration. As a play-by-post (PBP) campaign, it's asynchronous and played only via text, with no voice or sessions. The game is played throughout the week and billed on a subscription basis. The speed of the campaign goes with the pace of the group, and I will post daily (except on weekends when I take a break). Players will get to experience the story and system while playing via text, and I and Dreams are always here to help. Safety tools will always be in effect; this game is a safe and inclusive place. We will use safety cards, Monte-Cooke consent form, lines and veils, and any other safety tools the group needs. Both Enigma and Dreams are neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+, and seek to provide a safe table for all players. Accessibility is a big part of the game, and accommodations will be made to meet your needs so that you can have fun. The following will NOT be featured in our games: ✳ Sexual Assault/Non-Consensual Sex ✳ Exploitation of Minors ✳ Explicit mature content [will always fade to black] ✳ Real life imagery of sabotage/destruction [GIFs, Photos, and Videos] ✳ Player-on-Player gaslighting, bullying, or negativity ✳ Player-on-Player TRASH [transphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia] behavior
