Tomb of Annihilation - Level (3) Three - PlayByPost - TornUniverse

About the adventure

YOU HEED THE CALL: An old friend is in need. Although you've never worked with this particular crew before, you trust the now retired adventurer, turned merchant. You met her long ago, during your early days of adventure seeking. She has now called upon you - because - she is dying, AGAIN! She needs your help, and you owe her one. LEVEL (3) START: Your PCs will have had considerable experience in the past, so you can build rich backstories about your exploits. While not famous yet, you are growing in renown. Unfortunately, your friend has moved very far away, so the realm you are visiting is totally new to you - and it will take quite a bit of travel to get there. You will develop a short story to explain how you know the former adventurer, and what she did for you. She was, in her day, a very powerful human mage. Did she save your life? Teach you things? Advice? Sponsorship? It's up to you, and you can have fun with it. ********************************* TORN UNIVERSE: A sandbox homebrew medieval fantasy D&D5e campaign setting, but altered from the norm, just enough to keep things very interesting, and adaptable.

Gameplay details

THIS GAME IS PLAY-BY-POST SESSION 0 / DEBREIFING: Session 0 merely represents the dialogue that will be exchanged early on (usually before you start paying) to make sure you understand how it's played, what you are expected to bring to the virtual table, character creation, homerules, timeliness, SAFETY, and cordial play. LINES and VEILS: During the Session 0, and while Debriefing at various intervals (between chapters), you can discuss with the GM any topics, scenes, or scenarios that are particularly disturbing, and possible accommodations. Some topics just need NEVER be present in a game, and others just "alluded" to, as we figuratively "fade-to-black", and we move on. X, N, O CARDS & BREAKS: Well I don't use a lot of in N, X, O card rules in play-by-post, seeing it more effective in live games. Still, if you throw up a row of X's, or a picture of an X card, we should all be aware of what that means. Stop! The topic is off limits. Breaks are built ib. If you feel safe, just PM your GM as needed.
