About the adventure
✅Step 1: Choose Your Adventure! I run several different D&D modules via play-by-post. Your first task? Pick the one you want to embark on! ❄️ Rime of the Frostmaiden Journey to the frigid north and uncover a chilling mystery while struggling to survive the relentless winter. Can you break the curse before the village succumbs to the deadly cold? -Long-form campaign spanning levels 1-12 -Heavy focus on roleplay, survival skill checks, and challenging encounters 💰 Waterdeep: Dragon Heist / Dungeon of the Mad Mage Make a name for yourself in the bustling city of Waterdeep while hunting for hidden treasure. Then, descend into the Mad Mage’s labyrinth for an intense dungeon crawl like no other. -Epic campaign spanning levels 1-20 -Begins with roleplay and problem-solving before shifting into a combat-heavy, high-stakes adventure 🧙🏼 Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos Enroll at Strixhaven University, the premier magical school in the multiverse! Unravel its century-old mysteries while juggling classes, jobs, and relationships. -Mid-length campaign spanning levels 1-10 -Flexible pacing, depending on player involvement -Low-stakes tone. Perfect for players who enjoy deep character development 🐉 Tyranny of Dragons After saving a town from a brutal raid, you must uncover the source of unrest. Travel across the Sword Coast, forge alliances, and battle… a lot of dragons. -Campaign spanning levels 1-15 -Combat and quest-focused, with memorable NPCs and plenty of exploration 🤷 Not seeing one you like? DM me and we can write a different story! ✅Step 2: Understanding Play-by-Post Mechanics Running an entire game through text can feel unusual at first, but I’ll make the process as smooth and as manageable as possible. A Play-by-Post (PBP) game is played asynchronously through written messages instead of live sessions. Every DM handles this differently, but I use Discord to organize and run the adventure. We’ll cover any questions or concerns during Session 0, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before the story begins. ✅Step 3: Get to know your Dungeon Master! My name is Ace, and I've been in the tabletop hobby for over a decade. I've run hundreds of games and take pride in entertaining people! Here's what to expect from my games: -RP Focus: Characters' choices matter, backstories are important, and NPCs are memorable -Beginner Friendly: I'm a great teacher and will highlight all the mechanics you need to know to enjoy the game. -Comfortable Community: My discord is no place for bigotry. All LGBTQIA+, POC, and Neurodivergent individuals are welcome -Dedication: On average, I will respond up to 2 times a day. I really try to push the story along and make sure things don't get stale. -A Human Touch: I don't use AI to craft replies, PBP and DMing take a lot of work and I do it all myself!

About me

But it's not just about me and my characters - I also believe in incorporating the players and their backstories into the fabric of the world we are building together. Whether it's a small nod to a character's past or a full-fledged storyline that ties in with a player's personal quest, I am committed to making sure that everyone's story is woven seamlessly into the larger tapestry of our game. With a deep knowledge of the game mechanics and a penchant for improvisation, I am able to create memorable encounters that challenge and engage players at every turn. And with my dedication to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment, I am committed to making sure that everyone feels comfortable and empowered to bring their best selves to the game. So join me on a journey through a world of magic and adventure, where the only limit is our collective imagination. Let's create something truly special together!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be building your character during session 0, so come to the session with an idea of the character you want to play and the story you want to tell. Do you want to be the chosen one? Or, just the unluckiest guy in the world? Text-based games work great with boundaries! Be prepared for questions on what your boundaries are and how you want them handled.
