About the adventure
Fires burn atop the ruined citadel on Hellknight Hill, sending plumes of red smoke into the air that could be a call for help. Within the old keep, strange invaders from a distant land, mysterious long-lost ruins, and the machinations of a shadowy organization await discovery. Something dire is building toward an apocalyptic event, and it falls to your characters to stop the end before it begins. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Play-by-Post is an asynchronous, text-based format that runs throughout the week, and you can choose when and how often to post. Instead of having to find four uninterrupted hours to play a live session, you can play whenever you have time, like on a lunch break, before bed or while drinking your morning coffee. I'll be posting at least once and often multiple times per day, matching the group's pace. Play-by-Post is the perfect way to experience TTRPGs without the stress of scheduling, rushed decisions, or talking over each other. You can explore your character's thoughts and emotions and think carefully about what you do or say without the pressure of improvisation. Combat becomes more tactical, dialogue more meaningful, and every choice more deliberate. My campaigns are living stories that you can reread like a novel. It’s especially ideal for busy adults, people across time zones, or anyone who prefers thoughtful interaction over performance. Play-by-post is a slower, richer, more immersive way to tell unforgettable stories together. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message!

About me
I've been a Game Master for over 25 years and I love TTRPGs. I like to create immersive, believable settings where actions have real consequences and every NPC, location, and event has depth and meaning. I also really enjoy combat, so you can expect exciting, tactical, and challenging encounters that keep you on your toes.

Creating your character
I'll be available through Discord to help you make your character before the first session. If you already have a character, you can send it to me and I'll review it. There will be premade characters available if you don't want to create one from scratch.
