About the adventure
Welcome to The Dust Bowl! This barren crater is located in a sweltering desert near the Rastarian Nethers. From here its only a 6 day travel to the north until you reach the uninhabitable zone. The Dust Bowl is the nearest known location to the Nethers, few people live here, and the ones that do... well lets just say, if they're here they aren't the savory sort. You find yourself here whether it be circumstance or avoidance of the past you're here. Within the Dust Bowl there are several small towns, and then there is Silo, the center point of the crater. Since the awakening the Dust Bowl has become a hot bed of criminal activates, cult activity, and supernatural events. The Dust Bowl is a western stylized dnd 5e (2014) Play by Post campaign. I will be free for posts most of the time, but I will have scheduled times for things like combat or major revelations.

About me
Hello all, I am a dm who has been playing and dming since 2006. I am a casual dm who enjoys home brew and loose rules with priority on fun and jokes (should that be the tone). I record and upload my irl game if you want to see me dm and my players play check us out on yt at Vale Drake, our current campaign is very scooby doo meets Harry Potter as our heros travel through one of the hardest challenges in life... college.

Creating your character
Characters will be created in the discord over the first week or two through the session zero section of the game. If you'd like to bring a character please make a level 1 character using the 2014 DND 5e rules.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
1. Join our discord 2. Read all the rules 3. Work with me and other players to create a well insulated character
What Ryan brings to the table
I bring years of Dming experience as well as a delicately crafted Homebrew Setting. I am extremely passionate about story telling and very excited to try PBP.
Homebrew rules
The setting we will be playing in is entirely homebrewed. Due to this I have altered several of the races/species to fit the world better. These altered races are entirely optional. I use potion drinking as a bonus action and flanking for other standard homebrew rules.

How Ryan creates a safe table
During Session Zero and Character creation we will discuss lines and veils in which players can tell me anything they are explicitly not okay with and what is okay to elude to but not put under the spotlight. Should something get too close for comfort please directly message me and i will move away from it quickly.
