[PBP] Supernatural Facers. (Be a Hunter in DnD 5e)

About the adventure

Saving people, hunting things. The family business. Hop in the wagon, pulled by trusted horses Chevy and Impala, and hit the road. Are you a fan of Sam and Dean, ever wanted to be a hunter.. well now you can. In a high fantasy world, Allarea, which is plagued by many monsters. Magic is common, monsters are common, devils, celestials, werewolves, vampire and more, all fairly common. Which are bad, which should be hunted, which need to be saved.. that's for you to find out. The mechanics of this will be standard dnd 5e, with firearms included, though the heroes of this game will play specific unique subclasses for the hunters. Either a pregenerated character or a newly created one for the subclass. Examples below. Dean, Bard - Charismatic Hunter Sam, Rogue - Mindful Hunter Castiel, Barbarian - Wrathful Hunter Meg, Ranger - Egocentric Hunter Bobby, Articifer - Ingenious Hunter Garth, Druid - Wolf Hunter Crowley, Warlock - Demon Hunter Rowena, Wizard - Power Hunter Ellen, Cleric - Hospitable Hunter Jo, Paladin - Righteous Hunter Jody, Fighter - Legitimate hunter Rufus, Monk - Solitude Hunter Jack, Sorcerer - Empowered Hunter This campaign will be a Play-by-Post (PbP - asynchronous) format, hosted on a Discord server. This means that you can post at your leisure, no annoying scheduling issues and the game is compatible with most devices, including mobiles, tablets or phones. I consistently respond to posts within 24 hours, making 1-3 daily contributions, and I hope for the same level of commitment from players. Any deviations from this schedule will be communicated in advance, and these expectations can be adjusted based on player preferences.

How to prepare

The only preparation required will be to join the discord server and get to know each other a bit, create characters on DnD Beyond and link them into the server. There is no requirement for any particular device as Beyond is on a browser and Discord is an application, so just an internet enabled device will suffice.

What I provide

I am an excitable GM and ready to create a story and lead the adventure where you want to go. I will provide the hosted server access and link to resources on DnD Beyond, allowing access to most content. I maintain the bots, code and all the requirements to make the server function well and support the gameplay. Maps, characters, story, world, npc and even some monsters are made by myself, utilising map tools, AI Art (sorry artists) and my own creativity. You, the player, please bring your creativity, RP skills, willingness to use discord/avrae and, above all, patience and commitment to playing in the PBP style.

Gameplay details

To ensure the safety and comfort of all players, I employ the following measures: 1. Before the main game begins, I hold a session zero via discord to discuss concerns and establish boundaries. 2. I utilise a safety checklist to ensure that all players are aware of potential triggers and sensitive topics. 3. During the game, I run personal channels private to that player and the GM, allowing players to communicate their comfort levels or any other issues. This campaign will be conducted as Asynchronous Play by Post, posting via text as and when you have time. We will use Discord for all communications, DND Beyond for character sheets and resources and the Avrae bot for dice rolling and combat. I use as much description in my text as possible to make the game as immersive as possible, while keeping short enough to be able to read in short bursts, which is the best way for PBP. Organised Discord channels, linked to your DnD Beyond character makes for swifter progress in the story and prevents stagnation.

How will character creation work

Characters will be discussed on the server during the "Session 0", which is essentially the time before we get started. They will start at level 3, to allow subclass. To be inkeeping with the supernatural hunter theme there are specific homebrew subclasses, for any class, or pregenerated characters to choose from. I have a modified dice roll system that allows for a better spread of stats. We can create them together or all by yourself, and backstory detail is up to the player.
