About the adventure
You have been in the city of Tarantia for no more than a few days, having arrived here as part of one of the many caravans that ply the trade routes within Aquilonia. Having had your employment end on reaching the city you have asked around a number of establishments and have heard rumours that work is often available in the Trusted Lyre, an inn to the north of the city. You have let the barkeep know you are looking for employment and he agrees that it can be often found here, with those eager to hire sell-swords frequently visiting his place of business. Although no prospective employers have yet appeared you feel confident it is only a matter of time before they do so. The haze of smoke in the Trusted Lyre is thin at this time of night, a cool spring breeze pushing it out of the open shutters to reveal a collection of smiles and laughter. Patrons from all over Aquilonia and beyond are revelling in cheap ales and twice-stewed pork loins, and a pair of unexpectedly talented musicians are leading singers in Zingaran drinking songs. It is a good night to have some extra coin in your purse, and it seems that you are not the only ones to think so… This is an asynchronous Play-by-Post Campaign. Players will utilize Discord channels for both in-character and out-of-character responses and will use Roll20 for tracking meta-game elements such as maintaining the character sheet and rolling dice and such.

How to prepare
You will need logins for Discord (for the bulk of communications for play) and Roll20 (for character sheet usage and tracking rolls). During the Session Zero time period which will last until we obtain at least three players, fees will be set to $0. That time will be utilized for character creation.
What I provide
a bag of holdings worth of tools from many resources...
Gameplay details
Session Zero is for character creation and reviewing campaign themes and can be separate Voice meetings with each Player in Discord as needed. Players will be expected to respond in a timely but reasonable manner. Combat and social encounters will obviously be micromanaged by the GM to some extent if a player cannot respond in a timely manner with sufficient notice. Players will be charged weekly but no charge will accrue if a Player requires an extended absence and is able to provide fair reasonable notice (based on the circumstances of course --- emergencies happen). Roll20 will not be used for tactical movement or such (although will be used for some visual aids but the majority of those will be through Discord). Think of Discord as being your "in-character" narrative responses and Roll20 as being your character sheet and dice rolls. In Roll20, you roll the dice for your attack ("roll 2d20") but in Discord you "swing your blade at the villain's head after having feinted his attack".

How will character creation work
No prior knowledge of the system is necessary. Character creation will be done during Session zero. Character creation will be transferred afterward to Roll20. Experienced and beginning gamers will quickly intuit the rules if they are not already familiar with them.
