About the adventure
The Magical Youth Academy of Scientific Study (MYASS) needs people for a discreet job. They offer high rewards for a day's work. There have been a couple of disappearances whilst students are taking a nr2, the new waste disposal system is smelling even more. To make matters worse, the janitor has disappeared as well! Things are backing up literally; it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. Are you that hero? TYPE OF QUEST This is a comedy adventure with a serious undertone. So bring your light-hearted character to play and an attitude of humour. There are periods of roleplay in-between the action of battle and exploration. It is expected to last 3 months. - You get to interact with wacky NPC's, and are given sassy sentient magic items in your mission briefing. - Battle through the dangers of the sewers where the water holds more than you expect - Safely traverse the Genius Jim's "cleaning system" - Take a short break for Taco's with new friends - Wipe out/up the BBEG and it's minions. - Don't forget to rescue the students as well, they have an exam tomorrow. TRIGGER WARNING: This adventure has a lot about excrement and biological waste. It gets gross. --- PLAY BY POST ACTIVITY --- PBP are slow but enjoyable. To keep things flowing for everyone, I will make a substantial post every 24-36 hours to move the game along. Between that time, I will pop into the game and answer questions and make comments for fun and help players decide their actions. I ask players if they are done in a certain scene before moving on. Players are asked to post in a similar way. Of course, we understand that sometimes life happens and you don't get the time or headspace to meet this commitment. In which case, your character can pause or be run by someone else. There can be audio summaries in Discord to help you catch up if you miss many things. An impression of time difference in PBP vs live games is 2 hours of live games is approximately 1 month PBP. Players game together happily across different life schedules and time zones.

About me
I specialise in running Dungeons & Dragons adventures and I like to inject a bit of humour into them all. I follow the nr1 rule that "D&D is about having fun!" I have been doing fantasy games all my life and love making stories for others, and enjoy seeing my players interact. I like to get to know my players and their characters and tweek the story to give them something personal to chew on. For my homebrew adventures I like to use popular cultural references in my games, especially when naming monsters (like a quiz) and crazy NPCs. I use Discord, Owlbear Rhodeo and Theatre of the mind with some AI images to make the experience more immersive. I really like running Play-by-Post adventures as we get to know each other over a longer period of timme and on a daily basis. For me running games is like spending time with people who enjoy each others creativity.

Creating your character
Please build a level 3 character with starting equipment. You can have 1 common magic item and 100 gold to buy yourself any other equipment. Please no flying races or familar's. Spoiler: You will gain more magic items during the adventure.
The game is expected to last 3 months. It's a fun adventure. Excellent for players used to PBP and want to build their character through the narrative. If you new to PBP I suggest you give the game 2 weeks of play to get used to the rhythm and style of this format. PLAY BY POST ----------------------- The whole one-shot is delivered via Discord (story) and Owlbear rodeo (maps). Your DM will post the unfolding story at least once a day (probably more). Players then post their interactions and roleplay, roll dice in D&D Beyond and Discord. The DM then responds, and so the adventure reveals. PBP is great for people who find it hard to meet a regular schedule of games, who like to microdose on D&D daily, and who enjoy writing and getting into roleplaying. or who find they cannot access live face-to-face games. With a mobile device, you can play anywhere, anytime. You will NOT NEED to learn Avrea commands. The benefits of play-by-post are: - THOUGHTFUL ACTIONS: Take your time considering your optimal combat move or roleplay interaction. - FRIENDSHIPS: Bond with your fellow players as they become a daily presence in your life - CHARACTER BUILDING: Dive deep into your character as you roleplay through text giving as much detail to their thoughts, responses and personality as the campaign builds. - FLEXIBLE GAMING: Play anytime, anywhere with people across different time zones. No more scheduling the group to meet - WORLD BUILDING: Detailed descriptions and A permanent record of what happened in the campaign builds, so no more arguments about what was said - EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES: In this style of group, your voice and actions are always heard and counted. It's not about who is fastest.
