About the adventure
In this asynchronous Play-by-Post Star Trek adventure you will take on the role of a Star Fleet crew setting course for Kysomic VI in response to a distress call. When you arrive you’ll soon discover an attack against the colonist in full swing. The colonists will need evacuating quickly amidst the attacks, but not all is as it firsts appears. This is a Play-by-Post adventure meaning that there are no live sessions. Instead the game is “always on” and players will post their actions and dialogue in writing via discord.

About me
I have a real passion for storytelling and role-play games. The idea of creating whole new worlds, even within pre-existing ones through unique storytelling excites me, and is what I lean heavily on within my games. Even when running pre-written adventures I will put my own unique spin on the story with the main focus being on the player characters. When you join one of my games you are not just signing up to be told a story to, but to tell a story together, and add your own unique stamp on the worlds I can take you to, and that we will shape together.

Creating your character
We will create characters together in a written session zero ahead of the game starting. This is so that we can complement each others departments and roles.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a discord account, and a means to open and edit a form fillable pdf character sheet.
What Dan of the dice brings to the table
You will be given access to your own private corner of my discord server as a group where I will carve out a safe space for you, and you’ll find everything you need to play a successful Play by Post adventure. You should expect me to post a minimum of once per day, though this has potential to be far greater posts. I have a good grasp of the rules and often apply them as intended, however I believe that rules should never stand in the way of fun, so I can bend them occasionally.

How Dan of the dice creates a safe table
I will ask everyone to fill in a form that outlines your boundaries. This is completely anonymous, and not even I know who is has what boundary. Once everyone’s forms are complete I will bring all those boundaries into interest of lines and veils for the group. During play, if at any point you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, I like to think of myself as approachable, and willing to listen to your concerns, even if those concerns are about me. You will never be chastised for feeling uncomfortable.
