About the adventure
š PLAY BY POST OVERVIEW š Play-by-Post (PbP) is a flexible, text-based approach to Dungeons & Dragons designed perfectly for players with busy schedules. Instead of committing to a rigid four-hour weekly time block, our adventure unfolds asynchronously on our Discord server, allowing you to read the latest story updates, roll dice, and post your character's actions whenever you have a free moment during your day. This collaborative format reads like an ongoing fantasy novel, giving you the time and freedom to craft deeply immersive, thoughtful roleplay responses without the pressure of being put on the spot at a live table. š ADVENTURE OVERVIEW š The Sword Coast is under siege. For centuries, the Cult of the Dragon has been viewed as a fringe group of zealots that were more of a nuisance than an actual threat. But new, charismatic leadership has seized control of this shadow cult, and their new goal is far more ambitious. Free Tiamat, the five-headed Queen of Dragons, from her eternal prison in the Nine Hells and return her to the Sword Coast, where she can wreak destruction on all the realms! Across FaerĆ»n, from sleepy farming villages to the grand cities of the North, the cultās forces are gathering. Allied with ruthless mercenaries and the sinister Red Wizards of Thay, they are pillaging the land, amassing a hoard of unimaginable wealth to fund their dark ritual. Meanwhile, the sky darkens with the wings of chromatic dragons, answering the call of their imprisoned queen! š Journey from unknown heroes to realm-shaping champions over the course of the adventure. š Track the cult's movements, infiltrate their ranks, and uncover the full scope of their terrifying master plan. š Navigate the complex web of alliances across the Sword Coast. You must unite cautious factions, earn the trust of powerful allies, and forge a coalition capable of standing against the cult. š Face off against zealous cult leaders, powerful mages, and terrifying chromatic dragons in battles that will decide the fate of the world. The time for heroes is now. Will you answer the call and unite the factions of the Sword Coast, or will the world be consumed by the elemental fire of the Dragon Queen and her minions?

About me
Hello! I'm VVulfmann, your friendly neighborhood were-creature with many years of experience running tabletop campaigns, one-shots, and everything in between! Hereās what you can expect at my table: āØ Top-Notch Production: Expect immersive visual aids, music, environmental ambience, and combat animations and sound effects that enhance the gameplay experience and make you want to engage with the world. I use a whole slew of Foundry modules and packages that upgrade the vanilla experience such as Automated Animations, PSFX sounds, Carousel Combat Tracker, and Simple Quest just to name a few. š¤ Inclusivity: I provide a beginner-friendly experience in all my games. For me, one of the great joys of playing is introducing a new player to tabletop gaming! For those new to TTRPGs, I will always take the time to walk you through rules calls, provide advice during gameplay if desired, and make sure you feel welcome at the table. I use safety tools (like the X-Card) to ensure all players feel respected and comfortable with the content in the adventures that I run. š Exploration: Of all the pillars of role playing games, exploration may be my favorite. Whether you are exploring an ancient crypt, the wilds outside of town, or the backrooms of the local thievesā guild, expect the unexpected. šļø Immersive Roleplay: My games lean into roleplay. Expect to feel like youāre talking to real individuals with motives, desires, and goals when interacting with in-game NPCs. For beginners, my games are a safe space to learn to roleplay with NPCsā¦ and even other party members. š§ Player Agency: Your choices drive the narrative, whether they are expectedā¦ or not. Make bold decisions as an individual and as an adventuring partyā¦ and live with the consequences. āļø Crunchy Combat: Expect tactical combat on detailed battle maps that rewards teamwork and leans into the drama created by the dice. The game system itself is often the best tool to create unexpected, dramatic situations organically.

How VVulfmann creates a safe table
Your comfort is paramount! During gameplay, players may send me a DM in Discord if there is any topic that they are not comfortable with. We will immediately pause and, if necessary, take a short break (aftercare) to check in with the affected player before adjusting the scene or topic and resuming play.
