Game: D&D 5e Group type: Online Play-by-Post on Discord DM’s Experience: About three years Location/Timezone: N/A, Asynchronous Game, PBP Schedule: Each player should post at least once a day (at least some actions and dialogue) Roles sought: 3-4 Players Game style: Balance of Combat/Roleplay/Exploration/Warfare, Adventure to Forge Alliances, Improve Your Stronghold and Organization I’m seeking three players for a play-by-post 5e adventure from the Strongholds & Followers andKingdoms & Warfare books by Matt Colville's company, MCDM.
This adventure focuses on claiming a castle, upsetting a local tyrant, forming an organization, exploring the wilderness of our region, forging alliances with other communities, preparing for the tyrant's incoming army, improving your castle, and having a full-on battle for your lives!
Campaign Setting You don't need to know any lore to join. We'll change the setting to fit our needs. The world is a relatively generic medieval fantasy world like the Forgotten Realms.
Getting Started We start out with our characters knowing each other and already being an organization of sorts. We'll talk through what our organization is before we even make characters.
We'll play through the "Siege of Castle Rend" prequel adventure first. That's how we'll claim the castle as the base of our organization, and it's how we'll upset the local tyrant.
I'll also use each character’s traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws to further personalize the adventure to our party.
Player Types The type of player best suited for this game has ambition. They're excited about improving an organization and a castle, as well as traveling to other locations in the region to form alliances and help those communities solve problems to win their favor. Players should be more than willing to take the initiative and contribute when the party has a choice to make. They are curious and willing to push the story forward so we won’t fizzle out. They’re consistently kind. Players should be 18+ and enjoy writing since this game is entirely done through writing.
Character Creation Starting Level 5. You'll advance to Level 7 quickly. Fixed HP. Standard Array for stats. Starting equipment, not gold. Official content is welcome. Tasha's rules are welcome. Feats are welcome. Content from MCDM, including their wonderful magazine, Arcadia,is welcome. No other homebrew for now. Each PC must have 2 Traits, 2 Ideals, 2 Bonds, and 2 Flaws. (I’d love to read any backstory you write too!) I have every D&D book on here, so if you join the campaign before making a character, you’ll have access to ALL the options.
Safety Tools We’ll use the “lines and veils” tool to ensure everyone at the table is comfortable.
Tech I'll keep this as low-tech as possible for the players, but just so you know what tech is involved, we’ll mostly be on Discord. We'll use Beyond for character sheets. I'll also make it possible to roll your virtual dice here on Beyond and send the results to Discord without any hassle. I use the 3D Virtual Tabletop app to run combat maps. The art for our maps will mainly come from the adventure book, D&D books, and CzePeku’s Patreon.
Time Zones As a PBP game, time zones aren’t terribly important, but I will be most active from 8:00 a.m. CST to 8:00 p.m. CST.
Ready to Apply? All right, I’ll stop now! If you’re still interested, then send me a private message or post here to apply. At the very least, I want to know your TTRPG experience, what things appeal to you about this campaign specifically, and what your character idea(s) might be.
I'm looking proofread writing and positive vibes. Thanks for considering this campaign!
I look forward to speaking with you and beginning the game!
