About the adventure
--- STORY - - - Many a goat herder's peaceful night was interrupted by UFO flashing lights, streaking through the sky, leaving a trail of smoke and fire in its wake. And many a goat just didn't care at all when the ground shook with the impact. Now the Stepping Hills farming community are preparing to evacuate the island. You and your team race to this remote place with the hope of otherworldly treasure and power. The tales of ravenous creatures with black eyes don't bother you, the threat of being beaten to the prize by other adventurers worries you not. You don't even raise an eyebrow about the reports of a moving mountain! But that hamster keeps looking at you and it's very unnerving, and did it just speak?.... --- TYPE OF ADVENTURE - - - This is a comedy adventure where the separate houses of fantasy and sci-fi blend. Players can expect - The pop culture easter egg hunt lets you "out-nerd" your fellow players. - Unique homebrew monsters, - Lateral thinking puzzles - Moral juggling decisions - Magic items from beyond the imagination of usefulness. The game is expected to last 5 months as a play-by-post. This is a suitable bonus game if you cannot bare to be without D&D in your daily life, enjoy roleplay and like comedy adventures. --- 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.
