All writing and art by Benjamin Xiaofang Hurley -- Please note this is a PLAY BY POST game! What is Play by Post? - Play-by-post (PbP) is a way of playing a tabletop role-playing game through written messages instead of live sessions. - Players and the GM post messages our Discord channel - Each post describes: what your character says, what they do, sometimes what they think or notice - Posts happen asynchronously - You don’t all need to be online at the same time How my Play by Post games work: - I will respond at least 3-4 times every 24 hours - Battlemaps will be provided on Roll20 - Combat is done in this order: players > monsters > players and so on (this is to keep the game moving) Why Play by Post? Play-by-post often: - has more descriptive prose - allows inner monologue and detail - feels closer to collaborative fiction - gives time to think before acting Great if you: - Have a busy schedule - Have social anxiety about voice chat - Love writing and character depth As always message me if you have any questions. I look forward to rolling with you at the table!
